He said, "Rosie, don't be mad. Mother's Day is coming up and I just wanted to take my mom out to relax. Margerie happens to be in the travel business, so with her help, we could save some money."
Mother's Day? I couldn't help but recall everything from my previous life.
It was on this day in my past life that I received my daughter's critical condition notice. End-stage renal failure.
The fortunate news was that the doctor told me a suitable kidney donor had been found and my daughter could be saved.
"Please go ahead and pay the surgery fee first. You'll need to prepare around one hundred thousand later. Suitable kidneys are hard to come by, many people are waiting for them. We prioritized your daughter because she's so young."
"Doctor, don't worry. Money is not an issue. Please save my daughter," I replied.
For a patient with renal failure, a kidney donor was a lifeline. I didn't dare delay and rushed to the payment counter, feeling a surge of relief. My daughter's safety was the best Mother's Day gift I could ever receive.
But when I swiped the card, I froze, there was only 15.8 dollar left in the account.
