You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 223

Coralie had never expected that such a small child would be afflicted with this disease. What could she do?

"We can't cure this disease here. I suggest that you go to Syngene Hospital in A city. Besides, the child is still so young, you can't afford to delay anymore."

The doctor saw that Coralie wasn't rich, but he was worried that she would refrain from treating the child because of money problems. He gently reminded her.

"Okay, I know. Thank you, doctor," Coralie said.

Hendric was a sensible child. When Coralie was talking to the doctor, he stayed out of trouble and kept silent. Until Coralie walked out with him in her arms, Hendric told Coralie, "Mommy, no scared."

Hendric was less than two years old, so he could only mumble simple words.

However, these words touched her heart. She hugged Hendric, caressed his little head, and said, "Don't worry Hendric, I will definitely cure you."

Hendric nodded.

After Coralie explained the situation to Aaron and his wife, they expressed their understanding and were willing to gather some money for Coralie, but she refused.

She knew that treatment for leukemia would not be settled with just a small amount of money. She needed to spare hundreds of thousands of dollars at least. Thus, Coralie made up her mind to sell her emerald bracelet.

After Coralie packed up her things, she took Hendric to A city in a taxi. The journey took more than ten hours.

After more than two years, Coralie finally stepped into this familiar city again. However, it was for such an unfortunate reason.

Coralie, wearing a mask, went straight to the hospital with Hendric in her arms.

Hendric vomited a few times along the way.

When she arrived at the hospital, the doctor checked Hendric's condition and asked him to be hospitalized immediately. The doctor subsequently conducted a bone marrow test for him.

Coralie had less than ten thousand dollars in her card. When she went to pay for Hendric's bill at the counter, her hand trembled upon hearing the huge cost from the doctor.

"Can I pay for a part of it first? Please let my child stay in the hospital. I'll figure out a way."

Coralie begged.

When she said this sentence, she felt that it sounded so familiar. Back in the day, it was because her mother and brother were hospitalized that she had no choice but to look for Skylar Holland.

The doctor craned his head and looked at Coralie. She was dressed ordinarily and had her hair tied up; it was obvious that she came from an insignificant place. Then he said, "Please discuss this with the outpatient doctor."

Coralie went to see the doctor with Hendric in her arms. As soon as they reached the door, Hendric hugged Coralie and said, "Mommy, sorry."

Coralie was stunned. She didn't expect that Hendric would say that. She rubbed Hendric's little head and felt distressed looking at his tiny face. She comforted, "Please don't be sorry. It's Mommy who is sorry."

Right now, she had to be strong.

Coralie held Hendric in her arms and went into the outpatient room again. She tried to ask the doctor if she could pay part of the fees first and let Hendric stay in the hospital for the meantime. She promised to pay the rest of the money when she came up with a way.

The doctor was sympathetic seeing that Hendric was still so young, so he thought for a while and agreed.

After settling the hospitalization procedures for Hendric, Coralie took him to the ward. There were only two people in the ward. Aside from Hendric, there was a little boy about seven or eight years old.

Coralie was in a hurry to save money for the fees. After putting Hendric down, she said to him, "Hendric, Mommy will go out for a while. I'll ask the nurse to play with you. I will come back in a few hours, okay?"

Hendric nodded; he seemed to understand.

Coralie couldn't rest assured, so she bought a small toy plane for Hendric and asked the nurse to take good care of him before leaving.

She had done her research and found that there was a pawn shop near the hospital. Coralie had already decided to pawn Grandmother Holland's emerald bracelet for some money.

However, when Coralie arrived at the pawnshop and showed the emerald bracelet to the boss, the boss looked at Coralie and thought that she had stolen the bracelet, so he said, "Ten thousand."

"Ten thousand? No way!"
