Chapter 230
Marilyn's kidney transplant surgery was scheduled for three days later.
Gillian originally planned to join the film crew, but when she heard that Stephanie's mother needed surgery, she decided to postpone her departure for a few days and ask Gracie for a leave to go with Stephanie. The reason was that Stephanie didn't have many relatives or friends, and she wanted to be there for her during this time.
Gracie said it was no big deal, and since their scenes weren't being filmed right away, it wasn't a problem to delay their arrival for a few days. She would handle it.
When Maddie found out about this, she also rushed to the hospital and accompanied Stephanie and Gillian as they sent Stephanie's mother into the operating room. Before the surgery began, a family member needed to sign the consent form.
When Stephanie saw that the success rate for kidney transplantation was only 50% on the consent form, her hand trembled as she signed it.
She knew the risks beforehand, but it was still terrifying to experience it firsthand.
Gillian and Maddie comforted her, saying, "Steph, don't worry... your mom will be fine, the surgery will be successful!"
"I'm fine... I'm not afraid, my mom will be okay." Although Stephanie tried to reassure herself, her voice still trembled.
Gillian and Maddie felt sorry for her and tried to divert her attention, "Where's your Silver Fox? Didn't he come today?"
"He has an important meeting today. He'll come later." Stephanie said.
"Alright. Actually, even if he came, he wouldn't be able to do much, just one more person waiting outside." Maddie thought she would be unhappy about this and tried to comfort her.
But Stephanie didn't really care about that, knowing that her mother's kidney source was found by Sebastian and that he paid for the hospitalization and surgery expenses. He had already done so much for them. She was just purely afraid that her mother's surgery wouldn't go smoothly and she wouldn't make it out.
Gillian hugged her shoulders and said, "Don't think too much. Let's think about what you and Mrs. Bishop are going to do after she gets better."
This topic successfully diverted Stephanie's attention.
She propped up her chin and said,
"After she's discharged, she'll
probably go back to work? She used
to be in finance and very
1.n
experienced. She especially loves doing accounting and saving
money."
"With Silver Fox around, will your mom ever be short of money? And in the future when we start filming, we can also earn quite a bit. You alone could support her." Gillian said. "Yeah, but she hates being idle. When I start making money, I'll buy her an apartment in downtown B City!" Stephanie said.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
"You're ambitious! A slightly nice apartment in downtown B City would cost at least tens of millions." Gillian said.
"I can use the money Silver Fox gave me as a down payment and then slowly repay the mortgage!" Stephanie said. "Well, why not just pay in full?" Gillian asked.
"That's a bit too much to spend. It's really embarrassing. If it's a smaller amount, we can slowly pay it off
later. If it's too much, then we
couldn't afford to repay it!"
Stephanie said.
"But you and Silver Fox are getting married, aren't you? Do you still need to pay back the money? Won't you be in charge of his money later?" Gillian asked. Stephanie shook her head and said, "You misunderstood. Such a good thing wouldn't happen to me."
Even if she and Silver Fox really got married, it would be different from a normal couple!
Silver Fox was only marrying her to repay her kindness, and he already had another woman in his heart.
For some reason, Stephanie's mood suddenly worsened again.
Seeing this, Gillian laughed bitterly and said, "How do you always change your face so quickly all day long? Do you also do this in front of
Silver Fox? How come he ver
mentioned that you're a
face-changing monster?"
