My Husband Lost His Mother's Kidney Transplant Money for His First Love
Chapter 3
I didn't care what Charlie and May thought of me, and all I wanted was for Patricia to live.
"Your mother is in the ICU at the hospital. If you don't believe me, you can call Lillian!"
Lillian was my best friend. She was an attending doctor at one of the top three hospitals in the city, and Charlie grew up with her.
"What gives you the right to give May the money I saved for eight years for the surgery to buy the football lottery? You were stealing!"
I couldn't control my emotions and snarled as I cried in the restaurant.
Everyone looked at me in unison. They looked at my hysteria as if I was crazy.
May suddenly burst into tears, rubbing her fingers in her hands like a little girl.
"Charlie, how about we don't buy the football lottery anymore? I'll give you your money back. Tiffany is so aggressive, and I'm scared.
"She's now cursing Patricia for being critically ill. If she doesn't get the money, I'm afraid she'll go back and do something to hurt Patricia."
Saying that, May hesitated for a moment and looked at me again. "God is watching your every move. Since you talked so harshly, wouldn't you be afraid that Patricia might have any accident in real?"
Sure enough, upon hearing her words, Charlie completely looked quite indifferent.
He turned around, no longer looking at me, and his tone was cold.
"Tiffany, I didn't realize you were such a vicious woman!
"May just got divorced and didn't have a house. What's wrong with me buying the football lottery for her to win some money? Isn't she poor enough? Why don't you even have any sympathy?
"If I had known you were such a heartless woman, I would never have married you in the first place!"
Charlie was just as easily suspicious as before and gave up on me just because May said so.
"You can call and ask Lillian. She's right there in the ICU taking care of your mom!"
I held back my anger and tried to say in a calm voice, "Charlie, you can accompany May anytime you want, I don't even mind if you sleep together, and all I want is the money.
"If you return the five hundred thousand dollars to me right now, I will immediately disappear in front of your sight without getting in the way of you being together."
The monitor and classmates in the scene also came out to explain the situation and persuaded Charlie to go to the hospital with me to have a look first.
Charlie looked a bit doubtful as May whispered with grievance, "The odds on this one are 4.9. If we win, the money will be enough for me to buy a small house to settle down.
"It's alright, Charlie. You can take the money away and I'll live under the bridge. I won't die."
Seeing that she was on the verge of crying, Charlie felt so worried that he immediately put his arms around her and comforted her, "No, I will let you earn the money to buy a house."
After saying that, Charlie was about to pick up his cell phone with the intention of placing a bet.
I was so desperate that I was about to get crazy, and I lunged over to try to stop Charlie by grabbing the phone.
That was half a million dollars.
It took me eight years of shoe stringing to save half a million dollars.
"Charlie! Don't buy it! If we lose it all, we'll have nothing."
He looked annoyed and pushed me straight away. "Are we going to lose? I've been watching soccer for years, and I'm sure of it! Stay out of it if you don't know!"
