"It doesn't matter, take me as a friend." Jennifer's tone was very gentle. "Let me see if I can help."
Linda couldn't open her mouth. After all, asking for money...was an embarrassing thing.
Jennifer looked at her very sincerely, waiting patiently for her answer.
Linda thought of her mother's situation and recalled what she promised her father on the phone last night...
She gritted her teeth and said, "My mother is sick. The surgery cost 40,000 dollars. But I don’t have so much money.”
Jennifer breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought it was something that couldn't be solved with money." She reached out to Linda without saying a word, "Give me your account. I'll transfer the money to you now. The surgery can't wait."
Linda looked at Jennifer in astonishment.
Jennifer paused. "What's wrong?"
"Aren't you going to check?" Linda asked, "What if I lied?"
Jennifer was surprised that she would think so.
Jennifer stood up and patted Linda on the shoulders. "If you lied, then your mother is well. Wouldn't it be better?"
Hearing this, Linda felt very uncomfortable.
"Send the document later." Jennifer said to her, "Tell me your account first." With that, she opened her mobile bank and was ready to transfer money.
Linda was completely bewildered. She turned on her phone and found her father’s postal card number in her memo and sent it to Jennifer.
Jennifer asked her, "Are 40,000 dollars enough?"
"Totally."
A few seconds later, the transfer was done. "Alright! I hope your mother will get better soon. If you need to take leaves, just tell me in advance."
Linda didn't know what to say for a while. She couldn’t be more grateful to Jennifer. Her eyes were full of tears.
She bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you, Ms. Brooks!"
"You're welcome, now go back to work. Have faith in modern medicine. Many diseases can be cured by surgery."
