After leaving the house, Lily said to me, "Audra, I might need to have a minor surgery at your hospital. If there are any problems during the surgery, you must come to save me right away."
I was confused. "What surgery?"
Lily was reluctant to say but kept insisting it was a minor surgery with no risk.
I smiled, "If the surgery is so low-risk, why would you need me to rescue you?"
Lily frowned. "Don't worry about it. If someone from the Zuniga family comes to find you, just go with them."
She saw me as a last resort, knowing I would save her.
But this time, I wasn't so naïve.
I said, "Sorry, Audra, I'm going to be dispatched to the countryside tomorrow. The Zuniga family's people are so formidable. You should ask their family doctor for help."
Lily grew anxious because she had already promised to donate a liver to Lauri next month.
