Quintopolis.

On a hot summer day, the scorching sun hangs high in the sky, covering the bustling metropolis with a slightly dazzling golden light. On the asphalt-paved avenue, cars come and go. On both sides of the street, men and women wearing thin clothes are like those in big cities. Unique landscape.

It was the rush hour after get off work, the crowds were crowded, and the scorching sun made the women's skin even more shiny.

The more people flow in a place, the more people are doing small business. In front of a small stall with the name 'Universal General Grocer', Silas Cabell took out a pot of strong liquor and poured it down his throat like he was drinking water.

The burning knife scraped across his throat like a razor blade. He exhaled freely and cast a pair of lazy eyes at the hurried crowd.

Accurately locking on the various pairs of white breasts, legs and buttocks wrapped in stockings.

The more exquisite the curves, the longer he looked at them, and he did not hide them. He drank and admired them openly, which was very comfortable.

It has been three months since I returned to Quintopolis from prison. Living like this, I feel so comfortable and free. I no longer have to listen to orders like before.

"Boss, help me put a film on it." At this time, a voice came from my ear. A woman was holding a brand-new mobile phone and placing it on Silas Cabell's stall.

"okay!"

Silas Cabell picked up the phone film and finished it in two minutes. Another twenty yuan was credited to his account and he happily put it in his pocket.

At this time, the phone rang.

"Xiao Chen, my toilet is blocked. Remember to help me clear it when you get home." As soon as he answered the phone, a woman's voice came from the other side.

"Why is it blocked again? Didn't you just pass it two days ago?"

"Hey, what can I do? I'm helpless."

"Okay, okay, I'll go over and have a look when I get home."

After hanging up the phone, Silas Cabell received several more businesses not long after, including locksmiths, water heater repairers, film stickers, and all kinds of chores.

At around six o'clock in the afternoon, after finishing all these tasks, Silas Cabell received seven or eight hundred yuan in his account and rode his broken three-wheeler, preparing to take on the next business.

At this time, the outdated Nokia phone rang again.

"Sorry, I'm not taking any business now. The schedule is already full today."Silas Cabell said.

"Mr. Chen, it's me, Zihan's teacher. Please come to No. 308 Hospital quickly!"

Silas Cabell expression changed: "Ms. Lowe, what happened?"

"Zihan suddenly had a nosebleed at school, then fainted, and is now in the ambulance!"

"Okay, I'll be there right away!"

Silas Cabell abandoned the tricycle on the side of the road, didn't care about anything, stopped a taxi, and went straight to No. 308 Hospital.

Violet Zimmerman is Felton Zimmerman's sister.

No. 308 Hospital is one of the top hospitals in Quintopolis. As soon as he entered, he smelled a pungent smell of medicine. According to Teacher Zihan's guidance, he soon reached the fourth floor.

In the corridor, there stood a female teacher pacing back and forth. She was about twenty-two or thirty-year-old. She had a very good figure and was definitely a beauty. She was dressed in a long skirt and behaved elegantly and gracefully, like a bouquet of blooming gardenias.

However, Silas Cabell was not in the mood to appreciate it.

"Ms. Lowe, where is Zihan, what's going on?"

Silas Cabell and this teacher have met several times. She is Violet Zimmerman's class teacher, named Luna Lowe, the most beautiful female teacher in the whole school.

At the same time, she was the person who cared most about Violet Zimmerman Violet Zimmerman when she was in the orphanage.

"Bahuang, she is in the emergency room. The specific situation is not known yet. The doctor is making diagnosis."Luna Lowe's face was full of worry, and she told Silas Cabell roughly what happened.

"The doctor said it was suspected to be acute leukemia."Luna Lowe spoke seriously.

Silas Cabell was stunned and his face turned a little pale: "Leukemia?"

"Mr. Chen, don't worry, it's just a suspicion, it may not be true."Luna Lowe came to Chen Sheng and persuaded him as a scent of fragrant wind blew.

"Um."

Silas Cabell was very nervous and waited outside the emergency room. Not long after, the door of the emergency room opened, and several doctors pushed a bed and walked out.

There was a little girl sleeping on the bed. The little girl was very cute, about ten years old, with big watery eyes, innocent, and a ponytail. But now, her face was a little pale.

She had woken up and when she saw Silas Cabell, she weakly shouted: "Brother Bahuang."

"Zihan."

Silas Cabell immediately ran over and touched her head: "How do you feel?"

"I'm fine, teacher, Brother Bahuang, I'm sorry for making you worry." The little girl said weakly and very sensibly.

"Sir, the patient needs to rest. It's not appropriate to disturb him now. If you have any questions, you should ask the doctor first." A nurse said to Chen Sheng.

"Okay, please, you must take good care of her." Chen Sheng said, "Zihan, rest for a while, brother will be there soon."

"Yes."Violet Zimmerman seemed very tired, nodded, and was pushed away by the nurses.

"You two, who is Violet Zimmerman guardian?" A forty-year-old doctor in a white coat looked at Silas Cabell and Luna Lowe.

"I am!"

Silas Cabell and Luna Lowe said in unison, then looked at each other, and Silas Cabell said: "We are both, doctor, please tell me."

"follow me."

The doctor took the two of them to the office and called up the diagnosis report from the computer: "The child has been determined to have acute leukemia. The situation is serious and requires preparation for surgery."

"What." Even though she had expected it, Luna Lowe's face still turned a little pale.

In contrast, Silas Cabell seemed relatively calm: "What is the success rate of the operation? Can the child survive at such a young age?"

"The condition has reached a serious level, and the success rate is only 30%."

"What!"

Silas Cabell grabbed the doctor's collar: "Thirty percent? Are you sure?!!"

Chen Sheng's attitude suddenly changed, and the doctor turned pale with fright. Luna Lowe hurriedly pulled him away: "Bahuang."

Only then did Silas Cabell notice the gaffe.

There is no way, Zihan is his brother's only sister, and he treats Zihan as his own sister.

"It's up to you two to decide whether to do surgery or not." The doctor sighed, "Such a cute little girl has such a disease, ugh..."

"Do!"

Silas Cabell said firmly, "Doctor, please make arrangements immediately."

"The operation fee is about five hundred thousand, you two..." The doctor looked at the two of them.

"Five million..."

Silas Cabell: "Is it okay if I pay 60,000 yuan first and pay the rest in a week?"

"Sixty thousand is too little. According to the hospital's regulations, it may be a bit difficult." The doctor said truthfully.

"I still have some money here."Luna Lowe said, "About 130,000."

"One hundred and ninety thousand, that should be enough. You can think of ways to spend the remaining money. I will inform the following to start bone marrow matching. The remaining money must be paid within seven days."

"good."

Silas Cabell and Luna Lowe went to pay the money together. He said to Luna Lowe: "Ms. Lowe, just treat the money as if I lent you the money, and I will definitely return it to you."

"Um."

Luna Lowe was not polite. She knew that men wanted to save face, but she had no intention of asking Chen Sheng to pay back the money. "For the remaining money, I will try to organize a donation to the school. If it is not enough..."

"I'll add it!"

Silas Cabell eyes were firm and serious as never before.
