The cold stare that Rose shot at him stunned him for a moment. He was puzzled as to why the girl's gaze made him sense fear.
Yosemite brushed that feeling away, adjusted his clothes, and left hastily.
Rose quickly entered her grandfather's room and saw that his tubes had been pulled out. Carefully, she connected them once again.
All of a sudden, Old Master Severe opened his eyes. His gaze was that of an aged and frail, old man.
Nevertheless, when he saw the girl squatting in front o f him, a flash of delight flew across his eyes.
"Angel..."
He excitedly grabbed Rose's hand. "Look for Jay... he i s the only person that can help you... save Severe Enterprise!"
Old Master Severe fainted from exhaustion upon finishing his sentence.
Rose immediately called for the doctor. The doctor was indifferent toward Old Master Severe as he spoke i n an annoyed tone, "The patient’s family left him here and only come every few days to pay the hospital bills. You can only blame the illness that he has which doesn’t cost him his life but is unbeatable. Not to mention, now that time has gone by, nobody is willing
to take care of him anymore."
Rose held her grandfather's hand while tears rolled inside her eye sockets.
"Is there any way to make him stand again? Regardless of the cost, please doctor!" She asked.
"The technology we have in our hospital is incapable o f doing so. You'll have to see if the best hospital in the country, Grand Asia Medical Center can create a miracle."
It was like a thread of hope that Rose held tightly. With hope glistening in her eyes, she asked, "Are you saying that there's a chance Grand Asia Hospital can cure?"
The doctor answered coldly, "Unfortunately, the Severe family is ladened with debts, and they can hardly afford the fees at our hospital. How could they have the money to send Old Master Severe to Grand Asia Hospital that is exorbitantly priced?"
He paused for a moment and suspiciously looked at Rose before informing her of a crueler reality, "Miss, Grand Asia Hospital is also always fully occupied. Aside from money, you'll need a doctor's recommendation to get on the waiting list. Otherwise, getting admitted to Grand Asia is harder than ascending into heaven.
In other words, he was asking her to give up.
