Chapter 1594

“Thank you,” Devyn responded softly before swiftly making her exit.

Once outside Prosper Bay, she couldn’t hold back her tears.

Stella had been so kind to her, yet she had committed such a despicable act against her.

Devyn retrieved the USB flash drive from her pocket, staring at it with a bitter smile.

She had always held contempt for those who plagiarized others‘ designs, never she would imagining to stoop such a low herself.

Devyn hurried into the hospital, her mind a jumble of thoughts and worries.

Pausing at her mother’s ward, she took a deep breath to steady herself before pushing the door open.

Maureen lay in the bed, looking weary from her dialysis session, but her face lit up at the sight of Devyn.

“You’re here early today, honey.

What’s up?”

Despite her efforts to appear energetic, Maureen couldn’t hide the exhaustion etched on her face.

She fought back tears, putting on a brave front.

“Just had a light day at work.

How are you feeling, Mom? Any better?”

Maureen managed a reassuring smile.

“Today’s not too bad.

Feeling less tired.

”

Devyn smiled back at her.

“That’s a relief.

”

As she spoke with Maureen, the doctor entered.

Catching Devyn’s eye, the doctor motioned for her to join him, his expression hinting at urgency.

Devyn’s heartbeat quickened as she comforted her mother and followed the doctor briskly, a sense of foreboding creeping over her.

Outside the room, Devyn closed the door behind her, meeting the doctor’s serious gaze with a furrowed brow.

“Is everything okay with my mother’s health?”

The doctor shook his head.

“Physically, your mother seems fine, but there’s an issue with the medical bills.

”

Devyn’s eyes widened in shock, her voice trembling.

“What do you mean?

I just paid twenty thousand two days ago.

How could it be gone already?”

The doctor’s eyes softened with sympathy.

“The medicine your mother needs is expensive.

Her kidney dialysis is daily, you know.

Twenty thousand won’t cover it, I’m afraid.

”

Devyn stiffened, but she nodded with resignation.

“I understand.

I’ll sort it out later.

”

The doctor’s gaze held a hint of regret.

“Prepare yourself.

For someone in your mother’s condition, a kidney transplant is the only solution.

But even if we find a donor, the costs will be significant.

”

“I see.

” Devyn’s hands tightened into fists, her eyes imploring the doctor.

“As long as you’re doing everything possible for my mother, I’ll find a way to manage the finances.

”
