Marilyn woke up until around 5 pm.
After a long nap, she found that her surroundings had changed and seemed a bit confused.
Stephanie had just finished heating up the nutritious meal she bought at noon and saw her mom had woken up.
"Mom, you're awake!" Said Stephanie.
"Steph...where are we? Why did we move?" Said Marilyn.
"Mom, we're still in the hospital! We just switched rooms. This room is nicer and better for your recovery." Said Stephanie.
"Steph! What a waste of money! I don't have much time left, anyway. Let's switch back!" Said Marilyn.
"Mom, who said you don't have much time left? We'll find a kidney donor soon, don't worry!" Said Stephanie.
Even if they found a suitable kidney donor, they still couldn't afford the surgery!
Marilyn felt upset and got teary-eyed, remembering the scene where Stephanie being scolded by Mrs. Klein. She said, "Steph...it's all my fault for dragging you down. Let's stop the treatment and take me home! If you don't want to go back to the Klein family, then don't..."
"Mom, what are you talking about? Just stay here and rest. This fancy room was arranged by your future son-in-law! He's also taking care of the kidney and surgery costs!" Said Stephanie.
Future son-in-law?
Marilyn looked confused, "Steph...what's going on? When did you get a boyfriend?"
"Uh, recently!" Answered Stephanie.
"How come I didn't know? Steph, are you being scammed?" Asked Marilyn. How could there be such a good thing in this world?
A new relationship and he had already paid for her for so much? Kidney and surgery costs were no small matter.
