A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Emily didn't leave much room for herself to think. She couldn't figure out how to explain her situation so she just gave a hesitant nod and said, "Thank you, Dr. Lin." Jonas Lin had an extensive history of charity work. Dealing with the lady right then and there came naturally to him after doing it for so long.

Needless to say, he was a smart man with a considerable amount of experience. He got the gist of the incident from Emily's simple description in a matter of seconds. He gave his best smile to the upset woman and said, "Don't worry, I'm a doctor. I should be able to help with your daughter's illness. Why don't you give me your address and I'll pay her a visit tomorrow?"

He even took out his doctor's ID to reassure the lady.

The way he acted so naturally made it seem like he was in total control of the situation.

The angry woman was completely stunned and couldn't think of a single word to respond. However, she wasn't ready to end the argument just yet. "This is surely a trick! Are you a hired actor? I don't believe you at all!"

Jonas maintained his composure. He was like spring breeze in the summer heat. He calmly asked, "All right then, what would you like us to do?"

Upon realizing that they were causing a ruckus, the woman hesitated to go on. Furthermore, the unusual looks she received made her feel quite ashamed. But there was no turning back for her anymore. The arrow was already set on the string and the only thing left to do was to release it. She cleared her throat and firmly stated her request, word by word. "If you give me money for my daughter's medical fees for this month, then I won't give you any further trouble."

Despite the fact that the medical fee had already been covered, the woman was still asking for it!

Emily was furious with the woman's despicable attitude. Her eyebrows furrowed while she glared at her.

On the other hand, Jonas maintained a calm expression on his face. "Which hospital is your daughter admitted to?"

The woman was dubious to the doctor's claim but she answered, "The First Central Hospital."

Jonas gently smiled at her once again. He lightly chuckled before responding, "The dean of the First Central Hospital is my uncle. How about I give him a call right now and ask him to personally take care of your daughter?"

The woman panicked when she heard Jonas' words and her thoughts were scattered all around. Then she asked, "What about the money?"

Jonas still had a smile on his face even after all this difficulty. Then he replied in a calm tone, "Oh, of course, I'll transfer it directly to the hospital's bank account."

The woman's eyebrows twitched while the expression on her face darkened. She fiercely exclaimed, "No way! That won't work!"

By then, even Emily could tell that the woman was acting suspiciously. She thought to herself, 'Did this woman cause all this trouble just to swindle some money?'

The woman realized that her true motive had been figured out, so she quickly made up an excuse to leave. "I don't believe your damn words! I'd rather take my daughter to the hospital myself!"

Jonas took out his phone and quickly dialed the number of the hospital. He then said in a low voice, "Here, you can call the
