Seeing Alice come in, the doctor quickly hung up the phone. “Ms. Baker, what’s the matter p>
“Doctor, I want to ask about the heart source.” She hesitated. “Can my mother get a suitable heart soon p>
The doctor put on his glasses and checked the computer. “She’s now first in line. As soon as there’s a match, she can get the
transplant p>
Alice breathed a sigh of relief. After all this time, Ivy was finally first in line.
She wanted to ask when there would be a heart available, but remembering what the doctor had said before, she didn’t continue.
“Doctor, what do you think if I rent a house near the hospital and bring my mother there p>
She was a bit anxious, worried that the Johnson Group might remove her employee information at any time.
Michael had failed to get her a few times, and if he got angry, he might have her mother kicked out.
The doctor took off his glasses. “Ms. Baker, are you having financial difficulties? In your mother’s condition, even a minute’s delay in an emergency could be fatal p>
Alice understood what he meant. Taking her mother out now would be like sending her to her death.
“No, it’s just that the patient in the next bed passed away, and my mother is a bit affected. I want to be able to take her out for a walk occasionally p>
The doctor nodded. “Then it is fine, but make sure to control the amount of exercise. Don’t overdo it, and only when she’s in good
condition.
The doctor gave many precautions, and Alice noted them all before leaving the office.
She returned to the ward.
With Daryl to chat with, Ivy looked much better.
The caregiver wanted to take a few days off, so Daryl stayed.
“Alice, you’re busy with work. You should go back. I’ll take care of Ivy for the next few days p>
“Can you handle it?” Alice hesitated.
She wasn’t working now, so she might as well stay with Ivy.
Daryl quickly gave her a look. “You have to work. You can’t always be at the hospital, right? Don’t worry, I’m an adult now, and I

went to college. Don’t worry p>
Besides, you just got over a cold. What if you infect us? Go back and rest p>
Ivy became worried. ‘Alice, you had a cold? Then don’t come to see me. If necessary, take a few days off from work and rest well p>
Seeing Ivy’s anxious expression, Alice nodded and left.
She couldn’t tell her mother she was out of a job, especially since she hadn’t found a new one yet.
She had planned to tell her mother after finding a job, but now it seemed impossible.
Back at the apartment, Alice started looking for a place to live.
She needed a big enough space but not too far from the hospital, which meant high rent.
If she lived in her previous place, that big house of Michael’s, it would be better. Everything was convenient, and security was on standby 24/7. They could help in an emergency.
But that wasn’t her home.
Seeing the current housing prices, Alice gave up.
She had enough money for treatment but not enough to buy a house. If she bought a house, she couldn’t afford her mother’s
surgery.
Lying in bed, Alice felt for the first time that she had been too proud to refuse Michael’s help.
Why couldn’t she be like other women and just love money?
She had wanted his love, but that meant no money.
But he was a loveless person, and she had been hoping for too much.
