I pressed my lips together in embarrassment at being exposed that I had created this coincidental meeting on purpose. Then I picked up his phone and entered my number.
"Tomorrow, I will send someone to take your father to the best hospital in City A for surgery. You don't have to worry."
Just when I didn't have any good feelings towards Brandon, what he said made me feel a little grateful to him. It turned out that this man was still had human emotions and wasn't as cold as he looked.
"Thank you."
I lowered my head, clasped my hands together, and thanked him in a low voice.
Even though Brandon's request was a little overstepping my boundaries, I still didn't blame him because he had given me the 200,000 dollars to save my father's life. I knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch.
Soon, the car stopped in front of Evie's house. I heaved a long sigh of relief. I opened the car door and was about to get out, but he stopped me.
"Remember, you must follow my orders in the future. Also, don't disturb me without cause!"
His voice was cold and commanding. His superior attitude made me feel a little uncomfortable, but I didn't say anything.
"I understand. Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble."
I wasn't stupid. I could read between the lines of what he said. He did not want our relationship to be known to the public because to him, I was his secret lover. If our relationship got out, it would affect his reputation.
People in the upper class were all very hypocritical, so I was not surprised at all. On the contrary, I was a little glad that he said so. After all, I didn't want others to know about my shameful relationship with him.
After Brandon's car left, I let out a long sigh of relief and went upstairs. Even though it took a little work, I was glad that I got the 200,000 dollars.
My father would be saved, and this made me very happy. As long as my father was safe and sound, I was willing to give up anything.
Back at Evie's house, I learned that Evie was still running around and borrowing money for me. I was touched. After all, in my most difficult time, she was the only one willing to help me and encourage me.
I called her and told her that I had gotten the money and asked her to come home immediately.
After more than half an hour, Evie finally returned home, panting. As soon as she entered the house, she rushed to the refrigerator before I could say anything. She opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of mineral water and took a few big gulps.
"Evie, what's wrong? Why are you so thirsty?"
I walked up to her and looked at her with a worried expression.
"I just went to borrow money from several friends. They kept giving me ridiculous reasons to refuse me. I'm so angry!"
Evie drank a few more large mouthfuls of water before looking at me and speaking angrily.
Hearing what she said, I knew that she was definitely helping me borrow money everywhere. For a moment, I was even more touched.
"Evie, you don't have to worry about the money anymore. I've already gotten enough money."
I walked up to her and gave her a hug. Because of what she just said, my voice became a little choked. At the most difficult moment of my life, I was really touched that a friend could help me without hesitation.
"Really? You got the money? Who did you borrow the money from?"
