My Babies, My Love

Chapter 54

Soon, Patricia and Gus went to their rendezvous and got their contract signed before the money

was transferred to their accounts. When she was about to leave, she looked back at the company,

which seemed like a legit business premise judging from their spacious workplace and obvious

signboards.

Frontlender Enterprise? That sounds like a pretty good name. I bet it’s a decent and legit business.

After walking Patricia to the car park, Gus said, “Drive safe, Patricia. I’ll make a move first because

I need to get to my office now.”

Patricia nodded, finally believing what Gus’ mother told her when she said he had found a decent

job. “Thank you, Gus. I’ll treat you to a meal in the next few days.” After that, she waved her hand

at the man and started the engine before driving toward the hospital.

Soon, she arrived at the ward where she saw Poppy receiving an injection. At the sight of the little

girl’s sympathetic cry, her heart melted with pity, whereupon she walked up to Darcie and Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

comforted her daughter with her.

Due to her chemotherapy, Poppy lost all her hair and went bald, but even so, her looks remained

adorable as her bony face accentuated her big beautiful eyes. In the meantime, Darcie was seen

with tears welling up in her eyes, her heart broken into pieces at the sight of the suffering her

daughter was going through.

After the injection, Poppy was put to sleep without acting up at all, which was when Darcie finally

collapsed into Pataricia’s arms in relief. “Oh, you have no idea how much I wish I was in her place

instead, Tricia.”

The heartbroken mother broke into tears when she talked about Poppy, having cried more times

than she could remember. “Oh, God! Please help Poppy. I’d give anything for her to recover, even

if it means I have to live twenty years shorter than I should.”

When she heard Darcie heartbreaking words, Patricia was overwhelmed by her sympathy as she

gently rubbed the woman’s back to comfort her.

After crying for a while, Darcie eventually felt calmer and backed away from Patricia’s arms,

rubbing her tearful red eyes. “Haven’t you found a job, Tricia?” Judging from Patricia’s visit at that

hour, she believed the former still hadn’t found a job for herself yet, but even so, she didn’t wish for

her to go back to Everbright once again.

Soon, Patricia took a card from her purse and said, “Darcie, there is five hundred thousand in this

card. Consider this a favor from my neighbor’s son who helped to borrow the money earlier.

Anyway, ten percent of the medical cost isn’t really that much either, so please use the money to

pay the bill. You can pay back once you sell the house.”

When Darcie saw the card, she felt a lump in her throat, her tears nearly rolling down her eyes

once again. “Thank you so much, Tricia!” After all, all her friends and relatives shied away from her

the moment they saw her, afraid that she would ask them for money. Therefore, she was grateful

that Patricia was kind enough to lend her a helping hand.

The latter responded with a smile. “Don’t mention it. I’m just doing whatever I can. Anyway, go pay

the bill while I stay here and look after Poppy.”

While Darcie took the card and went on to pay the bill, Patricia tucked Poppy in and watched her

restful look in a loving manner. She’s so pretty! She is going to be such a pretty girl when she

grows up.

At the thought of that, she was reminded of the moment earlier when she told Darcie that she

would want Poppy to be her daughter-in-law, thinking either of her sons was capable of taking care

of her.

Shortly after paying the bill, Darcie returned in a much better mood. At the same time, she was

seen with a note in her hand. “Tricia, you have to keep this. It’s our IOU.”

Although Patricia initially wanted to say no, she eventually went along with Darcie to put her mind

at ease. She then continued to chat with Darcie for a few more moments before she decided it was

time for her to make a move.

When she returned to her car, she thought to herself that she could finally drive with some peace

of mind, recalling Isaac’s permission for her to make mileage claims. He is rich anyway, so it’d be a

sin if I don’t take advantage of him.

At that moment, her phone rang, whereupon she answered it right away, thinking it could be from

one of the companies she had applied to. “Hello?”

“May I speak to Patricia Aniston? This is a call from Cutie Pets, and we’d like to ask if you’re

available to come for an interview today.”
