I certainly didn't forget that time. When my mother went home and found me in a coma due to a high fever, she carried me on her back and ran to the hospital. But she was hit by a car on the road and her left arm was broken.
This's why I haven't the heart to abandon her even though I hate her for so long.
This is the only time that she gave me maternal love.
"My dear daughter, help me --"
The other end of the line, came a man's scolding, "Damn it, can you return the money or not? If you can't find someone to help you, leave your fingers decisively."
"Of course, of course. My daughter and my son-in-law are rich. Just wait a little longer, just a little longer."
My mother begged me again and again, and then she quickly said to me on the phone, "My daughter, come and save your mother, or you have to bury my body..."
"How much money do you want? How much on earth did you owe again? "
"Not much, just fifty thousand. It's just a small sum of money in Robbie's eyes."
The phone was snapped off and didn't give me any chance to speak. I looked at the phone, which was only beeping, plunged my finger into my hair.
I slid to the ground on Rogelio's bed.
Fifty thousand may be nothing in the eyes of the Luo family, but it is an astronomical figure in our eyes.
I don't know why my mother is constantly in debt like a bottomless hole. She is like a gap that will never be filled.
God knows how reluctant I am to borrow money. I want to live with dignity, even a little.
However, I have to trample on my dignity once again and dialed the phone number of Robbie.
"Hello, it's me. I'm Jasmine."
"Long story short," Robbie said indifferently
I told Robbie with difficulty that I could he lend me fifty thousand now, I needed it urgently.
"I really just borrow it. I will return it to you."
"I do have the money, but I want to know why you borrowed the money?"
There was a touch of sadness and helplessness in my voice. "My mother owed those people money again. She said that if she didn't pay back the money immediately, they would cut off her fingers."
The other side of the phone became silent. I was holding the phone nervously. I was afraid that Robbie would refuse me.If he refused me, I really didn't know where to get so much money.
"I will ask Leo to give it to you," said Robbie at last
"Thank y --"
Before I could finish my thank you, Robbie hung up the phone.
But I still said 'thank you' to the phone, which was not answered.
I'm not in the mood to wait in the bedroom. So I quickly changed my clothes and went out of the villa to wait for Leo.
When I just stood at the door, I saw a middle-aged man in a grey suit walking towards me. He was not tall and a little fat, and he had a pair of black narrow glasses on his face.
The man bowed slightly to me and said, "Nice to meet you, young lady. I'm Leo Liu, the driver of the Luo family. You can call me Leo."
I've heard from Robbie twice about this person. This's the first time that I've met him. It's very rare that someone at this house calls me 'young lady' and talked to me in such a polite tone.
I felt a little embarrassed and made a slight bow to Leo, "Hello."
Leo handed me a paper bag and said, "This is the thing Mr. Robbie asked me to prepare for you."
