Chapter 2496
Hannah Roland was envious of that girl.
She knew nothing could ever happen between her and Leon Batton, and they might not even talk to each other again, but it still felt awful.
That girl had what she constantly thought about and wanted.
Hannah calmed herself down by taking a deep breath before steeling herself to be strong and gazing at Leon through the screen. "Leon, I wish you nothing but happiness. I hope you can always be with the girl you like," she murmured and then proceeded to lock her phone.
Knock, knock, knock-
Three rapid knocks came upon her door a second before her mother stormed in with a stern look on her face.
"What's the matter, Mommy?" Hannah asked, noticing that her mother didn't seem too well.
Her mother quickly stepped forward. "Hannah, I've been diagnosed with brain cancer. I need surgery."
Her admission stunned Hannah, who felt as if the entire world was collapsing before her.
Brain cancer? That was serious.
The failure rate of the surgery was high, but many people even suffer from memory loss or decline in intelligence after such surgeries.
At that moment, Hannah wanted to ask God why bad things seemed to be happening to her.
Her father had just been cured, and now her mother was diagnosed with cancer.
She looked at her mother nervously. "Is it curable? How high is the success rate of the surgery?"
"According to the doctor, there's a fifty-percent success rate," her mother said, frowning deeply. "But I don't want to be treated. I'm here to inform you about some matters.
"I'll start losing my memory in the later stage of this brain cancer. I might not even be able to think normally.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
"That's why I need to tell you some important things before that happens.
"Hannah, if I die, you must take care of your father, brother, and yourself.
“Also, my mother left me some money after I got married, but I can't access the money until I reach the age of sixty.
"That's the retirement fund she left behind for me as a safety just in case I need it later. Think of it as a last resort.
"If I die, my children can access the money. The document is in the safe-deposit box under my nightstand. The password is your birth date.
"Take the money out and keep it somewhere safe. Use it as an emergency fund for the family, but keep it a secret from your father or brother.
"And, if you're wondering why I
chose to tell you about the money... Firstly, your father might remarry someone else after I'm gone, so you might not see a cent of it if the money goes to him.
"Secondly, you're the most reliable one in the family, even more so than your brother. I won't worry if you're in charge.
“There's a total of one million. Make sure you allocate the money accordingly. You can decide how to use it, and I won't get involved. I trust in you completely.
"That's all I wanted to say," her mother explained at length with utmost seriousness.
After that, she came closer to hug Hannah. "My sweet Hannah, I don't want to leave you. I want to be there when you get married and have children. I want to look after your
children for you.
“Unfortunately, fate is unkind. Our family already ran out of money to cure your father. I don't want to drag you all down further. That's why I have no choice but to die.
"Don't tell your father and brother. This is just between us girls.
"I'll try to keep this a secret for as
long as possible. It would be too late for any treatment once the
s become obvious. The e
nothing your father and brother can do even if they want to spend money to treat me then," she added.
