Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily) novel Chapter 253

Chapter 253 Jean’s Friend, Bella Patterson

Lilly looked at Bella and felt that her behavior was strange.

Jean said in surprise. “It’s Bella…”

Lilly whispered, “Mommy, is she your friend?”

Jean recalled and said, “Yes! 1 used to be treated in the hospital. When I could get out of bed and walk around, I would go for a walk in the garden.” It was at that time that she met Bella.

During the chat, Jean found out that Bella also had leukemia. She looked sad and said that she wanted to give up the treatment.

“I asked her why and encouraged her not to give up. She said her family sold their car and house to treat her illness. They were originally an ordinary family in a small town, but they used most of the money for her illness…”

Jean sympathized with Bella. Seeing that Bella wanted to give up treatment and choose to be discharged from the hospital, her father squatted aside without saying a word, and her mother wiped her tears silently. Jean was soft–hearted, so she paid Bella’s treatment fee for that time.

“It was a month later the second time I saw Bella. She returned after the last treatment, and it was time for chemotherapy. Bella made a fuss about not coming for treatment, but her father sold his blood for her treatment, and her mother begged her…”

Bella told Jean that she felt envious to see Jean living in a VIP ward and enjoying the best medical resources and would never worry about money. Bella said she was different. She was ready to die at any time and even committed suicide and set her parents free.

“I thought they were pitiful. I gradually became friends with Bella. Later, I paid for her hospital treatment.”

After all, money meant nothing to Jean at that time. She was not God, but she saw the same despair in Bella. She hoped that others would be well. Seeing others well seemed to give her a glimmer of hope.

Lilly finally understood.

“The last time was probably when I was lying down and couldn’t even get up. She came to find me and said goodbye to me while crying. I asked her what was wrong, and she said she had found a suitable bone marrow match. But the entire bone marrow replacement and chemotherapy will cost several million. She can’t afford it.”

“Why is God so cruel? He gave us hope.but made us despair again. I might as well not have heard this news…” Bella said it at that time.

Jean was also waiting for the right fit and knew the feeling of waiting for this glimmer of hope in despair. How many terminally ill blood cancers died while waiting for matching? And so would she.

Jean had no other thoughts but hoped that one more person would survive. What a pity to find a suitable match but give up because of a lack of money. So Jean asked Anthony for help.

Jean looked at Bella in front of her. Bella seemed to be healed now, but Bella was a little different from what she remembered. Maybe she became a ghost and could see things more clearly.

Anthony lowered his eyes slightly and said lightly, “No need. Just live your own life.”

He almost forgot about it. He gave Bella money only to do good deeds and accumulate virtue. He only hoped that Jean would wait for the right match as soon as possible.

However, Bella was not satisfied with his answer and even more uneasily rubbed her clothes while stammering, “Mr. Anthony, I came to thank you all. I… I can do anything to repay! I’m so lucky to know Jean. Now I’m better, but Jean…”

Her eyes turned red, and she begged, “So I want to do what I can. If I don’t repay your kindness, I feel

uneasy…

Bettany stood up and said lightly, “How do you want to repay us? Be my daughter and replace Jean?”

The Crawford family gave her money for treatment, but she wants to be the daughter of the Crawford family! She’s so greedy!
