Chapter 253 - Yun Na Disfigured
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
If they really needed to divorce, this was not the right time yet!
With Yun Na in a dire state, she would need him to find money for the reconstructive surgery. He could be disposed after that but not now!
Besides, she wanted Yun Shishi to foot part of the surgical cost, so she was extra nice to her when they met now.
She assumed that her adopted daughter had heard of Yun Na's plight from Yun Tianyou and rushed to visit her in the hospital. In her heart, she was hoping that she would forgive their past grudges and help her biological daughter with the fee.
Apparently, Yun Shishi had misunderstood as well. Thinking that her adoptive mother was kindheartedly visiting Youyou and was even offering to pay the hospital bill, her heart was filled with gratitude.
"Er, it pained my heart to see this child crying so pitifully. The doctor wanted us to pay 20,000 yuan straight away, but your father and I could barely come up with 10,000 yuan despite emptying all our savings. We are worrying over this now…"
"Don't worry; I've the money. Where's the room?" She became anxious again when she thought of Youyou.
"You brought the money? Excellent!" Her adoptive mother gratefully grabbed her hand and led her into the elevator.
When the elevator stopped on the eighth floor, Li Qin hastily led her to room 5020 with an anxious look. Yun Shishi was also looking worried, but when she saw the person, whose face was wrapped in heavy bandage, lying in the hospital bed upon entering the room, her expression changed.
The person on the bed was half conscious and had no reaction when they entered the room.
"What happened?!" she immediately asked.
She had thought Li Qin was here for Youyou!
"Hai… I don't know what happened, too!" Her adoptive mother broke down loudly when she saw her asking after her adoptive sister. "I received a call this morning saying that Yun Na met a mishap! When we rushed over, she was already in this sorry state. Your heartbroken father cried behind my back."
Yun Shishi's face turned sullen. With mixed emotions, she looked at her adoptive sister, who was lying in the bed. Her adoptive mother was still sobbing along, "The doctor said that the child's face has multiple cuts, which have been stitched up, and she is now disfigured. We don't know what kind of knife was used on her face, but some of the wounds are shallow while the rest are deep. This must be a vengeful act! However, if we have enough money, the Reconstructive and Plastic Surgery Department can help us restore her original looks. Shishi, can you find a way?"
She stood motionlessly as her heart sank the moment she heard this.
She had assumed at first that her adoptive mother was kind to be here for her son. Indeed, how was that possible? When she was young and hospitalized with pneumonia and high fever, the woman had never visited her once.
Why would she care about Youyou when he's sick?
"What do you want?"
"Well…" Li Qin respectfully pulled her to a corner before gently beseeching, "Nana's face is ruined now, but the doctor told us that if we can come up with 50,000 yuan, she can undergo reconstructive surgery that will get back her looks. As you know, Nana is a vain kid. Earlier, when she woke up and found out that her face is ruined, she was so upset she threatened to kill herself. Your father is heartbroken and blames himself. Do you have a way to raise 500,000 yuan—"
"500,000 yuan? Where am I going to find that money?" she cut her off as her face darkened.
Her adoptive mother had finally revealed her true intention; her goal was to ask for money.
