Hannah Roland’s mother was surprised at her words. “How? Where did you get the money?”
Her mother was quick to push her away. “Hurry up and tell me!”
She seemed worried that her daughter would do something bad for her sake.
Hannah knew in an instant what her mother was thinking.
“Mom, don’t worry. I earned this money the proper way,” she assured her.
“I borrowed it from a good friend. I’m sure you know her. We used to sit next to each other until she transferred to another school during the second semester of our junior year. Her name is Celine Belfast.
“I got in touch with her today and told her everything. She said she’d lend me the money after listening to what I said.
“She has a lot of money saved up, and it’s enough for your treatment. However, it’s on the condition that I must return the money, which I will.
“Her family owns a property company, and they are hiring a sales personnel. I’ll be working there to repay my debt,” she explained.
She had to lie. Although she was going to work at a decent bar, it was still a night shift job. That wasn’t a proper job for her parents with traditional mindsets.
