Traveling back in time to take care of Sung Deok-sun

Chapter 21 Money. Money! Money?

"Dad, we just ate ramen, and we packed some for you!" Deok-sun happily jumped in front of her father, but as she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, as if she sensed that something was wrong with her father.

Paula's father looked up, forcing a smile at the group.

"What? Hospitalization? I don't want to be hospitalized!" Grandma said defiantly.

“Mom, it’s just a minor surgery, so don’t worry about it. We’ll arrange everything in the next couple of days,” Paula’s dad reassured Deok-sun’s grandmother.

“Yes, Mom, we’ll listen to Dong-il.” Paula’s mom clearly didn’t realize the seriousness of the situation; she still thought it was just some minor surgery that Paula’s dad hadn’t had a chance to tell her yet.

Despite the persuasion of Bora's parents and Deok-sun, Grandma was eventually taken away by the nurse to the inpatient department to prepare for surgery.

The surgery has indeed been arranged. This was because Liu Shuyu had made arrangements beforehand. The doctor only knew that this family had connections with the hospital, so they made an exception. Once the money is raised, the surgery can probably begin in the next day or two.

As long as Paula's dad gets the money in the next two days.

"Ilhwa, come here for a second." While Deok-sun and Yoo Seo-woo exchanged bewildered glances, Bora's mother followed Bora's father to the side.

Deok-sun looked at Yoo Seo-woo with a completely bewildered expression, while Yoo Seo-woo shrugged, indicating that he didn't know either.

However, Liu Shuyu's powerful hearing allowed him to clearly hear the cause and effect. After learning that it was because of money, he breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't an incurable disease, he wasn't afraid.

However, he breathed a sigh of relief, while Paula's mother suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed to the ground, which frightened Paula's father so much that he screamed.

Deok-sun called out "Mom" and ran over.

“7000 million! 7000 million! Where are we going to find that?” Paula’s mother stared blankly at Paula’s father.

Deok-sun, still confused about the situation, anxiously supported her mother, glancing back and forth between her mother and father, unsure of what to do.

Liu Shuyu walked over and asked, "Uncle, what happened?"

He looked at the three pairs of eyes staring at him.

Deok-sun wanted to know what it was all about.

Paula's mom wanted to know where Paula's dad was planning to get the money.

Liu Shuyu, on the other hand, was wondering how to ask for help.

Paula's dad looked at the three of them, his mind a complete mess...

After her grandmother was hospitalized, Deok-sun stayed to take care of her. Her mother would come over to relieve her in the evening, and then they would go home first.

Because she was in a hurry, she didn't let Liu Shuyu see her off and instead went out to hail a taxi.

Bora's father still didn't tell Deok-sun everything, only telling her to take care of her grandmother.

Liu Shuyu had no choice but to stay and help Deok-sun take care of her grandmother. This relieved Deok-sun somewhat, as at least with Liu Shuyu by her side, she felt a little more at ease. Although she didn't know why, she just felt a strange sense of security when she was with Liu Shuyu...

Paula's House

“Cheng Dongri!” Paula’s mother called Paula’s father’s name calmly, without anger or roar.

"What about the money?!" Paula's mother continued.

"I'm thinking!" Since Paula's father returned, he has informed the entire family. His eldest brother is in the United States and has a little extra money, but his total assets are only 700 million won. His two younger sisters have less than 500 million won together, and this is under the extreme circumstances.

Needless to say, he was penniless, and could barely get around 1000 million yuan by selling his house in his hometown.

But what about the rest? Do we really have to sell the house? Where will their mother live after she gets out? Will she live with them in the basement? But the key is, even if we sell it, it won't be enough.

The surgery alone costs 5000 million, and we're still short of that.

Borrow from someone else!

Now, the only option is to try contacting their longtime neighbors. Ms. Leopard's family won 100 million yuan in the lottery. Although they had strong purchasing power back then, it has all become their assets now. They have been investing and have even opened an agency store. The actual liquid funds they have are only about 10 million yuan.

Aze's dad could give it a try...

Perhaps if he shamelessly borrows money and scrapes together the funds, he might be able to raise enough for the surgery. His mother can't wait any longer; according to the doctor, the best course of action is to start the surgery in the next two days.

Although Paula's mother was in despair, she forced herself to pull herself together. At this point, she could only support her husband, but she also had to consider what would happen to her children. Paula's father had already gone to Taek's house to borrow money. She stood at Ms. Leopard's door, but hesitated to knock...

......

While chaos was raging at Bora's house, at the hospital, nurses had taken over the ward because Grandma Deok-sun was about to have surgery.

Deok-sun was completely bewildered, thinking that her father had raised enough money for the surgery. A complex mix of joy and worry appeared on her face at the same time.

I'm happy that Grandma can have surgery, but I'm worried about my own family...

Yes, Liu Shuyu had already notified the hospital and the doctors that they could prepare to start the surgery immediately. He would also call his family again before the surgery.

He wouldn't wait until the last minute to make his move. What he needed was to heal Grandma Deok-sun, not to use her to gain sympathy. He just didn't want Deok-sun to have any regrets, not to be a psychopath.

After learning the specific symptoms, he immediately notified his assistant to inform the hospital and prepare for surgery. The doctor was surprised by how quickly it happened. It was only after Liu Shuyu called the hospital director that everything was arranged for the surgery to proceed that evening.

Just then, Paula's phone rang.

"Hello?" Paula's mom.

Are you a family member of the patient (whose name I don't know)?

“Yes, yes, I’m a patient’s family member. What’s wrong?” Paula’s mother said, glancing at Paula’s father.

Paula's dad also rushed to the phone to listen.

"Please get to the hospital as soon as possible. The fees have been paid, and the surgery will begin in about an hour. Please come quickly!"

"What! Doctor...you said the fees are paid in full?" Paula's dad snatched the phone and stammered.

"Yes, I've made myself very clear. Please come over as soon as possible; I need your signatures."

After saying that, the doctor hung up the phone.

Paula's father and mother looked at each other and burst into tears, their emotions a mixture of confusion and overwhelming joy and relief.

In the hospital corridor, Paula's parents rushed over in a taxi. Seeing the liability waiver handed to them by the hospital, they hurriedly signed it under the doctor's urging before they even had a chance to ask about the situation.

With the nurse's help, Grandma came over lying in bed.

"mom!"

"mom!"

"It's alright, Dongri, I'm so sorry to have troubled you!" Grandma seemed to know everything, but she just didn't say it. She didn't want her son to work so hard, having to struggle for her old age, but her gratitude was genuine. Such a filial son was truly a blessing she had accumulated over eight lifetimes...
