You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 5

How could she have so much money? In recent years, her income was low, and she didn't get to save much money. She only had about 20,000 dollars in her bank account.

"Doctor, I don't have so much cash on me. Can I pay 20,000 Dollars first? I'll find another way to get more money."

Coralie took out her bank card and asked the doctor anxiously.

She was afraid that the doctor would refuse her, and that her mother and brother would be kicked out of the hospital.

The doctor leaned forward and looked at her. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Fine, you can pay 20,000 Dollars first, but that much of money can probably only last for two or three days. If you can't pay the remainder, I'm afraid we will..."

"I know, I know, thank you."

Coralie thanked the doctor with gratitude.

The police were also at the hospital. She went over and asked the police about the situation. It turned out that an oil candle at her house had burned out and the curtains caught fire. At first, both of them had escaped safely. However, Hera ran back into the house and was rescued by Wayne again. As a result, Wayne suffered a large area of burns on his back.

Coralie knew that her mother must have gone back in to get the money in the wooden box, which her father had exchanged with his life.

She sat outside the door of the operating room. Her face was pale and her whole body was weak.

Just now, she was in a hurry and had no time to think about it. But now as she sat down and looked at the red light that was still lit up outside of the operating room. She felt helpless.

100,000 dollars, where could she get such a huge amount of money from?

Where could she find the remaining funds for the treatment?

Coralie looked at her watch. It was seven o'clock in the morning and it was already bright outside.

Usually, Howard would have woken up by this hour.

She thought about the 100,000 dollars that her family had paid for her matrimonial home with Howard. Before this, she was eager to get a divorce, so she didn't ask for that money back. Now that her family was in trouble, Howard should be willing to return her the money.

Although Coralie had already deleted Howard's phone number, they had been married for three years after all. During these three years, she had already memorized Howard's number.

She entered Howard's number on the dial page and looked at the number quietly. After looking at it for more than ten minutes, she made up her mind and pressed the dial button.

The call was soon connected.

"Hey, who is it?"

Howard's voice came from the other side, he sounded like he had just woken up.

"Howard, it's me."

Coralie plucked up the courage to speak.

"Coralie, what's the matter? Why did you call me so early?"

There was no emotion in Howard's voice, but at least she could feel that Howard did not feel repulsed upon receiving her call, which made Coralie relaxed a lot.

"I'm sorry, we're divorced. I shouldn't have called you, but..."

"Don't talk about this. At least we have lived together for three years. What can I do for you?"

Howard was generous.

"Something had happened to my family. My mother and brother are now in the hospital. Can I... borrow 100,000 Dollars from you?"

Coralie thought about it for a long time and in the end, she had to use the term "borrow".

Howard who was on the other side of the phone was stunned. After a long silence, he said, "Coralie, I would like to lend it to you, but I'm going to marry Alison soon. She said that she doesn't like the current house, so she used my money to pay for the down payment of the new house."

"If 100,000 Dollars is not possible? Then... 50,000! How about 50,000 Dollars?"

Coralie asked again.

Before Howard could say anything, Alison snatched the phone. "Hello, Coralie, how could you be so shameless? Why are you still calling your ex-husband?

On the other side of the phone, Alison's voice was ruthless and contemptuous.

"Alison, I really have an emergency now. My mother and brother are still being rescued at the hospital and calling Howard to ask for his help was my last resort."

Coralie explained to Alison in a humble tone.

She didn't have any close friends anymore, and this money was related to the lives of her mother and brother. At this time, even if Alison asked her to kneel down to beg her for it, she would probably do it.

"Rescue? What does it have to do with us? Let me tell you Coralie, now that Howard's money belongs to me, I won't lend you even a penny!"

From Alison's voice, she could tell that she was very proud of herself.

Coralie, who used to be such an excellent and promising young person, had become so helpless and vulnerable. This was what Alison wanted to see the most.

"Beep....beep..."

The phone was hung up.
