Chapter 8
Marilyn woke up until around 5 pm.
After a long nap, she found that her surroundings had changed and seemed a bit confused.
Stephanie had just finished heating up the nutritious meal she bought at noon and saw her mom had woken up.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
"Mom, you're awake!" Said Stephanie.
"Steph...where are we? Why did we move?" Said Marilyn.
"Mom, we're still in the hospital! We just switched rooms. This room is nicer and better for your recovery." Said Stephanie.
"Steph! What a waste of money! I don't have much time left, anyway. Let's switch back!" Said Marilyn.
"Mom, who said you don't have much time left? We'll find a kidney donor soon, don't worry!" Said Stephanie.
Even if they found a suitable kidney donor, they still couldn't afford the surgery!
Marilyn felt upset and got teary-eyed, remembering the scene where Stephanie being scolded by Mrs. Klein. She said, "Steph...it's all my fault for dragging you down. Let's stop the treatment and take me home! If you don't want to go back to the Klein family, then don't..."
"Mom, what are you talking about? Just stay here and rest. This fancy room was arranged by your future son-in-law! He's also taking care of the kidney and surgery costs!" Said Stephanie.
Future son-in-law?
Marilyn looked confused, "Steph...what's going on? When did you get a boyfriend?"
"Uh, recently!" Answered Stephanie.
"How come I didn't know? Steph, are you being scammed?" Asked Marilyn. How could there be such a good thing in this world?
A new relationship and he had already paid for her for so much? Kidney and surgery costs were no small matter.
"Mom, don't jump to conclusions! Am I that stupid? Just trust me! Your daughter will make everything better!" Said Stephanie.
"Steph, you're still young and don't understand a lot. There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world... you must have been scammed. Listen to me, let's go home. We shouldn't stay in the hospital and rely on others' money for my

treatment." Marilyn didn't want to be
a burden on her daughter.
She was afraid that her stubborn daughter would do something reckless to help her.
Like that time she applied for the nightclub security job, which was already outrageous enough.
But Stephanie said it paid well and gave her time to take care of her, and she was confident she could handle herself, so she reluctantly agreed.
But now there was a boyfriend out of nowhere, how could a mother like her be at ease?
Stephanie figured her mother wouldn't believe anything she said. But she didn't plan on hiding this from her mom, so she called Sebastian right in front of her, for the third time that day. Sebastian had just left the company when he got her call.
Frowning, he picked up the phone and said, "What's up?"
"Silver Fox, your future mother-in-law thinks you're a scammer, and no matter what I say, she won't believe me. Can you help explain things to her? She doesn't even want to eat dinner." Said Stephanie.
Sebastian's mouth twitched, and after a deep breath, he said, "Give her the phone."
"Ok." Said Stephanie.
Marilyn took the phone with nervous hands and said, "Hello..."
Then, she heard a deep male voice, "Auntie, how should I address you?"
"I'm Marilyn..." Marilyn said.
"Mrs. Bishop, hello. I'm Sebastian.

son-in-law. About your illness,

please rest assured and take care, and don't doubt your daughter's words."
