So that’s it…
However, tension still lingered in her heart!
Just then, there was a ruckus outside the yard gate. It turned out that many neighbors had curiously come over to watch.
“Yvonne, what’s going on?”
“What are you doing? Why did you let your father stay in the yard when he’s so badly hurt?”
“Yvonne, who are these people? Are they doctors you hired? Why aren‘t they wearing white coats?”
Such questions from passersby came one after another.
Usually, Yvonne would probably have explained everything to them, but she was not in the mood.
A man with a sharp jaw sneered suddenly. “I think they‘re trying to amputate Bob’s arm. Hehehe… The conditions here are so dirty, yet they’re trying to amputate. They might as well just kill him!”
Hearing this, several people who were usually close to Bob instantly looked tense. They quickly shouted to Yvonne and asked Yvonne to stop Jagoan and the rest.
“Yvonne, what are you doing? Stop them!”
“Your father will die instantly if they operate on him here!”
“Do you want to kill your father?”
Hearing the neighbors‘ dissuasion, Yvonne was frustrated. She was running out of ideas.
Bob’s mind was also all over the place. He did not know what to think.
Just then, an equally provocatively dressed woman pushed through the crowd and stood panting in front of Yvonne and Bob.
With that said, Yvonne‘s mother looked warily at Jagoan and Jagoan.
An angry look instantly came over Jagoan’s face at this woman’s words.
How dare she question the commander‘s decision?
How dim-witted!
Jagoan was about to reprimand the woman, but Jagoan, who was roasting the dagger above the flame of the alcohol burner, said, “Jagoan, don‘t be impulsive. She means no harm…”
Jagoan did not yell after hearing Jagoan’s words.
However, he still said, “Madam, please rest assured that our commander wouldn’t have done the amputation if he was unsure. Don’t make things worse here if you want your husband to survive and lead a normal life.”
“But…” Yvonne’s mother wanted to say more, but her daughter grabbed her wrist.
“Mom, believe me. I’m sure they can operate on Dad and heal his arm!” Yvonne said earnestly.
Seeing her daughter‘s confidence in the two men, Yvonne’s mother asked curiously, “Yvonne, who are they? Are they your…”
Yvonne instantly blushed when she heard her mother’s words.
Yvonne’s mother knew what Yvonne was working as.
Her mother did not stop her daughter from becoming a prostitute and selling her body because they had no choice. She could not support their family by selling her body alone.
It was hard enough to live under the pressure of life alone. Face and dignity were nothing.
