Trapped In Tasty Lips

Compared to the Northern borders, rain in the south was almost as rare as oil. However, on the occasion where it did rain, the intensity and amount of rainwater smashing against her windowsill was staggering.

The door creaked and opened. Sporting a pair of white sneakers that had been dirtied by the rainfall, Wendy Guan went straight to the floral-patterned sofa. Her body loosened once it hit the cushions.

After a whole day's work, she was exhausted. It was as if her entire body had shut down when she found herself being enveloped by her wet clothing.

The rain fell so hard that she was ultimately drenched.

Just as she was about to doze off, the phone knocked her right awake. She shivered and took out the phone with great difficulty. Seeing that the call was from her mother, she answered,

"Mom, what's up?"

The fatigued expression on Wendy Guan's face slowly disappeared as a gentle smile weaved its way into her lips. She and her mother always shared a special bond. No matter what problems she faced, she knew that her mother would always have her back.

"Is this Cheryl's daughter? Your mother was sent to the hospital because of a heart attack, but she's already been rescued as we speak. We need to contact one of her family members to pay off the medical expenses."

Her face turned pale in an instant. Wendy Guan scrambled to sit up.

"What did you say? My mother had a heart attack?" she demanded, jumping up from her sofa.

Hearing Wendy Guan's voice, the man seemed to be relieved. "Your mother still needs a follow-up operation, but the cost..."

he trailed off awkwardly.

"Please operate on her first. I'll be there in an hour, and I'll pay it off myself."

The rain was so hard that she thought it could shatter her roof. Thunder rumbled across the skies and lightning flashed, brightening the gloomy night. Wendy Guan raised her hand over her chest, trying to get herself to breathe normally.

Her mother was her entire life. She couldn't lose her!

After hanging up the phone, Wendy Guan pulled up her bag over her shoulder and hailed a taxi. Although she was drenched once again, she didn't seem to care.

The taxi screeched to a stop in front of her. Without missing a beat, she jumped onto the back seat.

"To Yang City Villa." Her voice was hoarse. In fact, she doubted if it was even her voice in the first place.

It felt as if her entire world was falling apart right in front of her. Her mind was in complete chaos, and her heart felt heavy. If her mother was truly gone, she wouldn't know what to do next!
