Mrs. Marsh's Revealed Identities novel (Jennifer and Ivan) novel Chapter 530

When her phone rang, Linda said to Mya, "Mya, I need to get this.”

“Go ahead." Mya was tasting the cheese. "Put your plate here. I'll watch it for you." She hadn’t finished taking the pictures yet.

Linda put down her plate and walked out of the ballroom.

She knew who it was just by hearing the ringtone, which was specially set up by her for her family. She had a mother who had been sick.

When the cool night wind blew, Linda had walked to the fountain. She answered the phone, “Hey, dad.”

"Linda, can you ask your boss for an advance on your salary this month?" her father's voice came, he sounded anxious, "Your mother’s illness relapsed. She has just been sent to the hospital, the doctor said that she needed a surgery now, or it would be too late.”

Linda felt as if stricken by lightning.

"What did the doctor say? How much does it cost?" Linda was worried. "How is mom doing now?”

"Don't worry. She’s fine for now. We need 200,000 dollars for her surgery.”

"Okay, I will think of something. Are you in the hospital now?”

"Yes, I'm taking care of your mother in the hospital.”

Linda could tell her father's helplessness and anxiety.

"I'll find a way. Don't worry," she said, "My boss has just raised my salary and I’m getting a bonus. I will get the money ready tomorrow!”

"Okay, I trust you. We will get through this.”

Linda shed tears.

Her father hung up after that. Linda really wanted to see her mother right now, but she had no money left now.

She didn't know what to get the 200,000 dollars.

There had been thousands of dollars in her credit card, but she had spent almost half of them on the dress she was wearing. And the rest of the money was for the rent next month.
