Chapter 375 - I will lend you the money for the surgery!
It had become a daily routine for Pei Ge to phone Tang Xiaoyu first thing in the morning, but never once had her call successfully reached her best friend.
Two days had passed like this.
This was worrying for Pei Ge not only on the account of her mother’s sickness but also of Tang Xiaoyu’s safety.
In her frustration, she changed her clothes and walked out of the bedroom.
The moment she walked out, she spotted her mother exiting the toilet with a pale face.
“Mom, are you alright?” she asked worriedly, her face contorting with worry.
Zhang Manhua could see the worry in her daughter’s eyes and shook her head reassuringly. “Don’t worry, I think I accidentally ate something bad, so my stomach…”
She took a deep breath and haltingly revealed, “Qitong… my mother… she’s been diagnosed with gastric cancer…”
“Ah?! Gastric cancer?!” she exclaimed in shock.
“Mhm…” She shifted uncomfortably and felt abashed. “Qitong… you…”
Before she could finish, the girl asked hurriedly, “Sister Pei Ge, how much is the fee for auntie’s surgery? I can lend it to you!”
