Damen’s word was a great relief to Maximilian, and raised the spirit of Carmen.
Carmen had heard about the name of Damen and his extraordinary medical skills, while he had never heard that Maximilian was even able to win assistance of this well-known doctor so easily, as Damen was only available for one patient each day with a extremely high outpatient fee. To some extent, it was reasonable since he could cure any kind of patients aside from those with incurable diseases.
"You're so kind, Maximilian. I don't know how to pay you for that, but I promise I would do anything I can if you need me!" Said Carmen, who was about to unconsciously kneel down and shed tears for gratitude. He now thought that it was a correct decision that he made originally to trust Maximilian, and now he could finally have the opportunity to save his mom.
Maximilian reached out, stopped supporting him from going down and said, "You don't have to put it so seriously, and now the most important thing is your mother."
About half an hour later, Damen, with sweat dripping from his face, finally walked out of the emergency room. It seemed that he had experienced a tough fight with the illness troubling Carmen's mother.
"Don't worry. Everything is stabilized, and your mom would be fine." Damen came to Carmen and said.
The notification brought great relief to Carmen, making him continuously bow his head expressing his gratitude.
After a few talks with Damen, Carmen went into the ward together with Maximilian, and saw his mother lying on the bed with a better look on her face.
"Why are you here, Carmen?" Carmen's mother was a little stunned by the appearance of her son.
"I'm here for you, mom." Carmen scratched his head and answered.
"You don't have to do all this, dear. I know that I don't have too much time left." Sighed his mother.
Carmen shook his head and said, "No, mom. Thanks to Dr. Damen, your physical condition has been stabilized and you will soon come back to health."
"What? Oh, I… I can hardly believe it," said his mother, "But what about the medical expenses?"
"Don't worry about that, mom. It … It only cost about several hundred thousand." In order to keep his mother from thinking about the charges all day, Carmen chose to lie to his mom after deliberation. It actually cost him much more.
Hearing that, Carmen's mother frowned and seemed to be lost in thought. Carmen soon noticed that his mom felt pinched with the money spent, and said, "I said, don't you worry about that, mom. The only thing that matters is your health, rather than the expenses."
His words comforted his mother, and her spirit was always raised by her son's optimism.
For his mother, it would still take some while to fully recover and leave the hospital. Maximilian stepped forwards, briefly introduced himself to Carmen's mother, and then left the ward together with Carmen.
Carmen turned to Maximilian, and said, "It's good to have you by my side, dude. Listen, I don't know how to pay you back, but shall we have dinner together tonight? My treat, of course."
The passion of Carmen made Maximilian fail to refuse the proposal. Afterwards, they came together to a small restaurant with nothing special.
Carmen looked at Maximilian and embarrassingly said, "Sorry, dude. This is the only place that I can afford since I'm almost broke."
Maximilian responded with a smile, "Never mind. Besides, this place is not really bad, and I like the circumstances here." Such words gave Carmen a really great relief.
