Chapter 1278 In Hell
Hearing these words, Victoria’s heart, once again, throbbed hard.
She felt like her whole sky was falling down.
Her mother’s illness was much worse than her father’s at the time.
If she doesn’t treat it, she really will die.
Even with treatment, she is not always possible to survive.
Her parents were the most important people to her, and she could never, ever have watched her mother die like that.
“Mom, can’t you take it out early to treat your illness?” Victoria asked, “Can’t we discuss it with them?”
Victoria’s mother shook her head, “I’ve discussed it, but no, they have rules, it was signed that way.”
Victoria said, “Then I will think of a way, I will let you be cured, I will not let you pass away.”
With that, Victoria wiped her tears.
Her mother shook her head, “No, in order to help your father with his illness, our family has already spent all the money, now, if I were to treat the illness, I would not have any money at all.”
But Victoria was full of determination, “No, I’ll take charge, I want to keep you alive, give the slip to me, I’ll use this as collateral to see if I can get a loan.”
Victoria’s mother, “I’ve asked, it won’t work.”
Victoria frowned deeply again, “Then I’ll think of other ways.”
Victoria’s mother, “What do you have in mind?”
Victoria, “I’ll see about getting my classmates to borrow money.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Victoria’s mother, “Although your classmates are rich, but they are still students, how much money can they have? Better forget it, Vic, don’t bother about my affairs.”
She didn’t want to watch her daughter, for her own sake, running around collecting all kinds of things away.
She just wanted to be quiet and leave the world.
Victoria, however, was still full of determination, “Just be at ease, I will definitely get the money back.”
In fact, she did not know if her classmates could lend her money.
At the time, she was not very well liked in school.
Because of her soft nature, she was often bullied.
But she still wanted to give it a try.
And if she couldn’t borrow it, when the time came, she would think of other ways.
She was sure that she would be able to get the money to help her mother with her illness.
“Victoria, why don’t you listen to me?” Victoria’s mother had a serious face, “If you borrow money to cure the disease, you have to pay back. This disease needs to spend a large amount of money, when the time, after paying off the debt, how much will you have left in the policy? What about your father? What about your brother?”
“Do you want to get married in the future? Do you want a dowry? And does your brother want to get married? When he gets married, he always has to pay a dowry, he always has to buy a house. Now, his house is all still a long way off. What will you do if I get into a big debt to my family again?”
The more Victoria’s mother thought about it, the more she regretted that she had told Victoria the truth in advance.
If it hadn’t been told, Victoria wouldn’t have been able to come up with such a solution.
It was she who had thought things too simply.
It was she who underestimated, too much, Victoria’s filial devotion to her.
Taking a deep breath, Victoria still had a firm face, “I don’t care about any of this, I only care about the immediate future, I only care if you can survive. As for money, I can earn it again? If you are gone, you will never come back. Mum, believe me, I will let you live, at any cost.”
Even if she had to sell herself, she wanted her mother to live.
See can’t persuade Victoria, Victoria’s mother immediately helplessly long sigh, “I really should have told you.”
Victoria didn’t say anything, but was just quiet, holding Victoria’s mother in her arms.
The two spoke for a while afterwards before Victoria’s mother left.
After she left, Victoria took her mobile phone and started calling her classmates who were relatively close to her at school to borrow money.
However, the result, without exception, was a refusal.
There are even those who, without giving an answer, hang up.
After calling all of her classmates who were relatively well connected, Victoria didn’t get a single dime to borrow.
On the side of the classmates, there is no hope.
On the relatives’ side, she does not want to contact them at all.
Since their family went bankrupt, relatives have stayed away from them completely.
It was as if they were afraid that, if they were touched, a layer of skin would be ripped off.
Once upon a time, when the family’s business was booming, every day, there were a lot of relatives coming to the house to give this and that to the family, all sorts of close contacts.
Even if, at the time, her home, living in the suburbs, was particularly remote, those people would have travelled thousands of miles to get here.
But what about now?
Since her family went bankrupt, not a single person has come to the house.
Not a single person, even, cared about the family’s situation.
During this time, she has really taken this reality of society and seen it all in its full glory.
Holding the phone, Victoria fell into deep contemplation
Classmates, relatives can’t be counted on.
Who exactly should she call?
It was at this time that the name of a person suddenly came to Victoria’s mind.
Should she go to that person?
The one had unpleasant thoughts about her
If she had sought him, he would have, for sure, paid for it.
But her innocence, then, could not be preserved.
Still, she felt that it was most important for her mother to be alive.
With that in mind, she looked in her address book, found an unmarked number and dialed it.
Soon, a man’s voice came from the other side, “Victoria, what’s wrong?”
“Can we meet?” Victoria asked.
“I’m at the Hilton, Presidential Suite 9999, just come and I’ll be here waiting for you.”
Hearing this, Victoria immediately said, “Okay.”
Victoria then hung up the phone straight away, before getting up and going into the bathroom to wash up.
After washing up and changing into a clean outfit, Victoria went straight to her mobile phone and left the door.
Taking the bus, she made her way to the Hilton Hotel.
Once she arrived at the hotel, she took the lift and reached the door of the 9999 Presidential Suite.
Looking in front of her, the tightly closed burgundy carved wooden door, and the room number 9999, at this moment, Victoria suddenly felt that her feet, and her hands, were a thousand pounds heavier.
She knew that if she entered the door, she would be walking into a completely different world.
After taking a deep breath, she hesitated for another minute before ringing the doorbell.
Soon the doorbell rang
And the door in that instant opened.
Victoria lowered her head at once.
The first thing that comes into view is a pair of white disposable slippers from the hotel, and as she moved up, there are long, slender calves and a white man’s bathrobe –
