Come With Me

Chapter 9 For The Warmth That I Once Had

I certainly didn't forget that time. When my mother went home and found me in a coma due to a high fever, she carried me on her back and ran to the hospital. But she was hit by a car on the road and her left arm was broken.

This's why I haven't the heart to abandon her even though I hate her for so long.

This is the only time that she gave me maternal love.

"My dear daughter, help me --"

The other end of the line, came a man's scolding, "Damn it, can you return the money or not? If you can't find someone to help you, leave your fingers decisively."

"Of course, of course. My daughter and my son-in-law are rich. Just wait a little longer, just a little longer."

My mother begged me again and again, and then she quickly said to me on the phone, "My daughter, come and save your mother, or you have to bury my body..."

"How much money do you want? How much on earth did you owe again? "

"Not much, just fifty thousand. It's just a small sum of money in Robbie's eyes."

The phone was snapped off and didn't give me any chance to speak. I looked at the phone, which was only beeping, plunged my finger into my hair.

I slid to the ground on Rogelio's bed.

Fifty thousand may be nothing in the eyes of the Luo family, but it is an astronomical figure in our eyes.

I don't know why my mother is constantly in debt like a bottomless hole. She is like a gap that will never be filled.

God knows how reluctant I am to borrow money. I want to live with dignity, even a little.

However, I have to trample on my dignity once again and dialed the phone number of Robbie.

"Hello, it's me. I'm Jasmine."

"Long story short," Robbie said indifferently

I told Robbie with difficulty that I could he lend me fifty thousand now, I needed it urgently.

"I really just borrow it. I will return it to you."

"I do have the money, but I want to know why you borrowed the money?"

There was a touch of sadness and helplessness in my voice. "My mother owed those people money again. She said that if she didn't pay back the money immediately, they would cut off her fingers."

The other side of the phone became silent. I was holding the phone nervously. I was afraid that Robbie would refuse me.If he refused me, I really didn't know where to get so much money.

"I will ask Leo to give it to you," said Robbie at last

"Thank y --"

Before I could finish my thank you, Robbie hung up the phone.

But I still said 'thank you' to the phone, which was not answered.

I'm not in the mood to wait in the bedroom. So I quickly changed my clothes and went out of the villa to wait for Leo.

When I just stood at the door, I saw a middle-aged man in a grey suit walking towards me. He was not tall and a little fat, and he had a pair of black narrow glasses on his face.

The man bowed slightly to me and said, "Nice to meet you, young lady. I'm Leo Liu, the driver of the Luo family. You can call me Leo."

I've heard from Robbie twice about this person. This's the first time that I've met him. It's very rare that someone at this house calls me 'young lady' and talked to me in such a polite tone.

I felt a little embarrassed and made a slight bow to Leo, "Hello."

Leo handed me a paper bag and said, "This is the thing Mr. Robbie asked me to prepare for you."

I took the 50000 from Leo, "Thank you."

"Mr. Robbie said that you can come to me if you need anything at home. I'll stay in the driver's lounge if no one uses the car. You can go there to find me or call me."

Leo handed me a note with a telephone number. "This is my phone number."

I took the note with both hands and asked tentatively, "Leo, can I ask you a favor?"

"Of course, go on."

"I want to go out now. Can I take a ride in your car?"

Leo smiled at me and nodded, encouraging, "of course, you are the young lady, and I am the driver of the Luo family. If you want to use the car, just tell me. You don't need to be so welcome."

How could I be unwelcome? But I didn't dare to delay any longer. I could only express my gratitude by saying thank you.

Leo said this way please. Then he led me into the car.

After I got into the car, I called my mother to ask where she is.

Leo drove me to No. 3 of Adams lane. When I got off the car, he kindly asked me if he should go with me.

Although I was a little afraid of going into the jail alone, I didn't want anyone to see my mom in such an ugly situation.

I walked to the gate with fifty thousand cash, and the big, shabby, vermilion iron door was closed.

I took a deep breath and rang the doorbell.

After a while, I heard the sound of someone pulling the door bolt.

Bang! The big iron gate was opened and a young man with blue hair walked out. "Who are you? I haven't seen you before. "

"I'm here for Faye Sun."

"Oh, you are looking for her!" The man looked me up and down, grinning, "Have you brought the money?"

I clenched the paper bag in my hand.

He eventually moved his body and made way for me.

I passed the narrow crack sideways, but he intentionally rubbed my arm with his own. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

I shrank back subconsciously, and he laughed unscrupulously.

I swallowed nervously when the big iron door behind me was closed again and the door bolt was once again slashed up.

I looked at the man behind me in panic and asked him why he locked the door.

The man laughed and said, "What are you afraid of? I won't bite you!"

Then he gave me a hard push on the back and urged, "Hurry up!"

I stumbled forward and entered the door followed his strength.

Although it was daytime, all the windows in the house were sealed with boards, only a few rays of sunlight got in through small cracks.

There were a few dim lights hang on the wall. There was a table under each lamp. Around the table were several people. Some were playing cards, and some were playing mahjong.

Smoke filled the room. I was choked and coughed.

"Where is my mom?"

The man took a look at me, walked towards a table which was against the wall inside and picked up a person from the table as if he was lifting a chick.

The person walked around in the man's hand and begged, "Sir, sir, be gentle!"
