Love Together, Be With You Never novel Chapter 14

When I arrived at the hospital, the doctor looked at me in a strange way, "Are you Davidson's mother?"

I nodded, "Excuse me Doctor, what is his condition now?"

The doctor was roughly end of his twenties, wearing glasses, he looked very neat, like a young boy, he narrowed his ice cold eyes and said ironically, "After doing some check ups, we noticed that Davidson had been suffering injuries due to continuous beating on his head, which caused bleeding in his brain. The blood clots are pressing on his nerves, which is the reason why he cannot talk. We need to perform surgery as soon as possible, otherwise he might fall into a coma, worst case, it will cost his life!"

Every word he spoke was like knives stabbing my heart, continuous beating, bleeding in his brain, pressing on nerves, cannot talk as usual!

I always thought the reason for him not to be talking was the depressing circumstances he grew up in, I never thought that Shania was beating Davidson, he was just a five year old child.

Anger was building up in me, I wanted to kill these bastards, Davidson was only five years old, five, how could she do that.

I clenched my fists, trying not to show my anger, "Do the surgery immediately, immediately!"

The doctor humphed, I knew that he thought I was the one beating him, but, I didn't have the energy to explain this to him.

"The surgery costs 100K, go ahead and pay the fees!"

The doctor handed me the bill, my whole body froze, "100 thousand?"

"There it's written, one hundred thousand!" The doctor didn't have good temperament, so I take the bill, my heart felt cold as ice. I didn't have 100 thousand, I didn't even have a hundred.

"If you don't want to pay, you can leave, I don't have time to waste on you!" The doctor stood up, it looked like he was going to close the door for his midday nap.

I told him hurriedly, "I will, I will pay it, can you please first take him in, I will pay the fee this evening!" I was afraid he might not agree so I promised and begged him.

The doctor was really annoyed by me, "If you want him to be taken into inpatient, you need to pay something, I will order him to have some injection first, to lower his temperature!"

"Thank you Doctor Evans, thank you!" I looked at his name tag, and started to thank him. If he stays in the ward without having the surgery, it was of no use either, but right now I really didn't have the money, which meant the doctors wouldn't perform the surgery yet. I needed to gather 100K as fast as possible.

I got the medicine and went to the injection ward, waited till Davidson got his IV, and then asked Billie to take care of him. I rushed to the Cornell house.

I arrived in the evening, and when I entered, I saw Shania, Alicia and Marvin sitting at the dining table having dinner together. At the same moment, Davidson was laying in a hospital ward. The anger was boiling in me, the hate made me tremble all over, but I had to control myself.

That night, I couldn't allow myself to get into a fight with Marvin. Even if I had to go on my knees, I would accept that, as long as Marvin would give me the 100 thousand.

Marvin didn't like me, but Davidson was his only son, even though he never loved him, he wouldn't allow himself to lose his only son.

"Rachel..." Alicia looked at me and got so scared that her chopsticks fell out of her hands, then she hid behind Marvin. It looked as if I was the evil and bad sister, who was torturing her everyday.

Shania's eyes filled with tears immediately, and said to me in a grieving and helpless matter, "Rachel, I know you don't like me, but you can't let your anger out on your sister, look how scared she is!"
