The principal's daughter did not have much hope at all, but after looking at Rosalie's serious expression, she hurried into the room and brought out a cup of tea.
"Miss Jacobs, let's have some tea."
Rosalie took the teacup, took a sip, and continued to stare at the materials.
"Ma'am, let's change your father's living environment next. Go stay in our hospital. You don't have to worry about the medical costs. It's all free. You just need to get someone to take care of his diet and daily needs. It'll take about a month."
As Rosalie spoke, her eyes were clear of emotions.
The principal's daughter was astonished.
Free treatment?
She subconsciously trembled all over with excitement. One must know, in order to treat her father's illness, she did not have much money left. On top of that, she had a family to feed, and her children were still in college.
"Miss Jacobs, are you serious?" she asked, afraid that it was just a joke.
Rosalie nodded emphatically. She raised her eyes, looked at her, and explained, "He needs to undergo an operation. I can't guarantee his life expectancy, but according to my past experience, I can say that there's an 85% chance he'll live for another five years!"
The principal's daughter's face froze on the spot, and she was completely stunned.
"Five years more? Is that what you mean?" She could not restrain her joy.
Rosalie nodded. "Yes, that’s what I mean in a nutshell."
In an instant, the principal's daughter covered her face and burst into tears.
"Really? Thank you so much, Miss Jacobs! Thank you so much. You're our family's savior! My kids know that their grandpa is seriously ill, and they’ve lost their spirit to study hard at school. Now, I can finally tell them this piece of good news."
When the middle-aged woman burst into tears, Rosalie quickly comforted her.
Not long after, Byron and Chloe also came out.
Rosalie had sharp eyesight and quick hands. She grabbed the woman before she could kneel down.
Byron also hurried forward to prevent her from kneeling.
"Don't do this. The old principal has devoted his entire life to the cause of education and is overworked. We want to do this for him. In addition, we'll mobilize other former students to raise more funds."
"That's right. The principal lived a clean, honest life without any greed. How can we let him be trapped by money?"
Byron and Chloe spoke up and finally dispelled the principal's daughter’s doubts.
"Byron, I'll contact Mary immediately. I’ll ask her to arrange a car to pick up the principal." Rosalie's mind was still fixated on the old man’s illness.
She picked up her mobile phone and contacted Mary, who responded and dispatched a car immediately.
Once everything was settled, the three of them bid farewell to the principal's daughter. The principal's daughter looked at their backs as she burst into tears uncontrollably.
