Chapter 278 Karma Will Certainly Get Him
After a brief moment of hesitation, Desmond nodded and advised Jacqueline. “Please be cautious. Don’t allow her to make any more foolish decisions. If necessary, we may have to involve her parents”
“Understood. I will provide her with guidance.”
To avoid causing a disturbance, the university denied the incident of the girl jumping off the building and instead explained it as a result of her losing her balance while engaging in horseplay on the fifth floor, leading to an accidental fall.
Furthermore, they used this incident as a warning to students that horseplay in the corridors would not be tolerated in the future. Any observed instances would result in a warning and disciplinary action.
Meanwhile, Jacqueline spent over an hour counseling Laila before finally uncovering the reason behind. her attempted suicide.
Laila came from a humble background and had been working part–time jobs off–campus since she started attending university.
However, three months ago, her father fell ill and was hospitalized.
The hospital diagnosed him with acute kidney failure.
Despite receiving treatment, his condition not only failed to improve but also progressed to chronic kidney failure. His situation was extremely dire.
The hospital recommended an immediate kidney transplantation.
The total cost of the operation, including the kidney, amounted to around five to six hundred thousand.
It was an exorbitant fee.
Considering Laila’s family situation, it was simply impossible for them to gather such a sum of money. Moreover, her father’s hospitalization had already incurred significant expenses. Raising another five to six hundred thousand was an enormous challenge.
Additionally, the hospital was pressuring them, stating that another patient had already reserved the kidney. If the operation fee was not paid within three days, the kidney would be given to someone else.
Laila knew that if she missed this opportunity, it was uncertain when they would find another matching kidney donor.
Perhaps her father would not be able to hold on until then.
However, raising such a large sum of money in just three days was utterly impossible for her.
Just when Laila was at her wit’s end, a friend she met while working part–time told her about a way to obtain the needed funds, but it would require some personal sacrifice.
