Chapter 446
In an instant, the blood drained from Stella's face. She trembled as she held the phone.
"I'll be there immediately. Call for the doctor first," she said in a slightly trembling voice while playing calm.
Rainee's blood pressure dropped rapidly, and her heart rate slowed. Her pupils also showed signs of expansion, which was a really bad sign. After the doctor gave her a checkup, they began giving her injections.
The veins on Rainee's hands were incredibly obvious. The walls of her blood vessels were practically sticking together. The nurse failed a few times, trying to stick in the indwelling needle.
Stella felt her heart quiver as she watched Rainee's puncture-mark-filled hand. Shortly after, she was wheeled into the operating room.
The head nurse brought Stella a consent and waiver of liability and asked her to sign it. Stella's hand trembled as she held the pen. After a while, she finally signed her name crookedly. The nurse took the papers and said, ' Quickly go downstairs and pay the bills. The people downstairs are urging again, so don't make things hard for us."
"I understand,” Stella said hoarsely.
She added, "I'll leave my mother in your hands.”
After Stella left the waiting room, she quickly called Felicity.
Felicity had been shooting a night scene with the crew last night, so she only got home at nine in the morning. So when she got a call from Stella, she was still in her bed, sleeping.
Felicity groggily accepted the call and heard Stella's choked-up voice come from the other end of the line, "How much money do you have right now, Felicity? Could you transfer me 300 thousand dollars?"
Felicity was immediately fully awake.
‘Stella wouldn't not have 300 thousand dollars. So why is she suddenly borrowing money from me? And why does her voice sound like that?’ she wondered.
‘What's the matter? Why do you need to borrow money?" she asked. Then, she quickly added, "I'm just asking; I don't mean anything else. I've locked the royalty money I previously received to a fixed deposit, so I can only give you 100 thousand at most. What exactly is going on?"
"My mom might not make it. My card can’t be used..."
Stella started crying the moment she spoke.
This was the first time Felicity ever saw Stella cry this way, so she panicked and hurriedly consoled her.
‘Don't cry. I'll transfer you the money. You should go pay the bills first while I borrow money from my other friends," Felicity said as she got off the bed. She started putting on her clothes and shoes, "I'll go to the hospital immediately. Be well. Your mother’s still receiving emergency treatment, so don't keep thinking about negative things."
