Chapter 329: Snyder and the Phone
Dididiββ
The car roared away from the pedestrians in front of it, quickly disappearing into the invective of the pedestrians.
All four doors and windows were open to let in fresh air.
In the back seat of the car, Mrs. Peter hugged a child tightly.
"SΓ©phanie, hold on, we're going to the hospital right away. β
Mrs. Peter kept talking in the child's ear to keep the little one awake.
After the convulsions she had just experienced, Sefanie broke out in a cold sweat and her lips turned purple.
"Lady Peter...... I'm so scared. β
"I still have my younger brother to take care of. β
SΓ©phanie's tone was extremely weak, and she frowned as she spoke.
His fingers grasped Mrs. Peter's cuffs weakly, and his big eyes were full of raw longing.
Madame Peter turned her head slightly, not allowing herself to meet SΓ©lhanie's eyes.
"Hold on, Sirphanie. A voice of concern came from ahead.
Snyder, who was preoccupied with driving in front, turned around and cheered up the little girl.
"Ah...... Mr. Snyder, we all miss you so much. β
The little girl's eyes lit up when she heard Snyder's voice.
"Mr. Snyder, we thought you would never come back. β
Seeing the former and current head of the welfare organization again, the children's hearts were full of excitement.
It was Mr. Snyder who brought a large amount of social donations to the welfare home to change their lives for the better.
"Mr. Snyder is truly blessed by God. β
"For a kind person like Mr., life will never treat him badly. β
Madame Peter stroked SΓ©phanie's hair and said softly behind her.
Snyder squeezed a smile on his face, tightened his hands on the steering wheel, and waited for the traffic light without saying a word.
......
"Mr. Addison!" the assistant hurried from a distance.
Addison, who was on the phone, waved at his assistant and motioned for her to stand in the doorway.
"Sue, the company has some things to deal with, hang up the phone first. β
"Anyway, thank you very much. β
Su Lei, who was lying on the sofa, nodded indifferently, "We are friends. β
Click...... Su Lei took a bite of the peach.
"I'll bring you Peaches over the weekend, and in exchange for your bottle of red wine at the top of the cupboard. β
"Hahahaha, no problem. β
With that, the two hung up the phone.
"What's the matter?" said Addison beckoned his assistant in.
The assistant opened the file in his hand and placed it on Addison's desk.
"Los Angeles Central Hospital is willing to accept our trial drug trial. β
But no more than 20 test subjects were allowed to take a skeptical stance about the drug. β
Also, they asked for a $300,000 deposit in advance. β
Addison groaned and nodded in agreement.
"I'm going to see the results as soon as possible, and we're going to get ahead of that group to grab the market. β
The assistant picked up a pen and wrote something in the notebook, put Addison's hand, and went out.
Picking up the paper and looking at the name on it, Addison looked as usual.
Stuffing the paper into the shredder and listening to the "rustle" sound inside the machine, Addison was about to pick up the phone, but thinking about it, he put it down again, pushed the door open and walked out.
......
"Doctor, please be sure to heal her, she is still very young, only 11 years old. β
Mrs. Peter held the doctor's hand tightly and pleaded.
The doctor nodded, directing the nurse next to him to carry SΓ©lfanie on the stretcher.
"Be careful. Madame Peter advised.
"Mrs. Peter, let's talk about medical bills. β
"You've already sent five children from the orphanage, all of whom are suffering from this strange disease. β
"Aren't they polio?"
Madame Peter's heart tightened.
Unknown illnesses are terrifying.
"The symptoms are close, but there is still a difference. β
The doctor pushed his glasses up, "All the experts in our hospital have already diagnosed it, and at the moment, this is an unknown disease. β
Lady Peter's heart sank to the bottom.
"Madam, your prepaid medical expenses are insufficient. β
"In order to cure them, we used the best medicine. β
"You have to accept the result, even if I don't tell you, the people at the toll office will tell you. β
"At least, I'll tell you why. β
With that, the doctor turned and left.
"I used to have a daughter. β
"I'll try to buy her time for treatment, money, sorry I can't call the shots. β
Madame Peter looked at the empty hallway, surrounded by a deep sense of helplessness.
Arriving in the waiting room, Snyder was sorting out his tie.
Seeing Mrs. Peter appear, Snyder immediately stood up from his chair.
"How's Selphanie?"
Madame Peter shook her head and sighed.
"It's not going well, the doctors say it's a strange disease. β
"And...... And ......" Mrs. Peter stammered, and the words came to her lips.
"Anything I need help with. β
"We don't have enough money to pay for medicine here. β
Mrs. Peter felt a deep sense of powerlessness, "There are already 5 children here. β
"It's too much to spend every day. β
"This card is for you. At some point, Snyder shoved a bank with body temperature into Mrs. Peter's hand.
Apparently has been held in the hand for a long time.
"There's $50,000 in there. β
"I want it to never be used, and I want it to be enough to pay for medicine. β
Snyder's expression was tangled, and his eyes were full of pain.
"This ...... It's too precious. β
"Take it, that's all I can do for the kids. β
Snyder walked out with heavy steps, "I still have some things, you can stay here with the children." β
"Thank you, Mr. Snyder. β
Mrs. Peter thanked him heartily behind him and bowed deeply.
Snyder's emaciated back paused, and continued to leave.
......
In the hospital parking lot, Snyder sat expressionlessly in his car, his hair disheveled and his tie ripped off.
His eyes were bloodshot and there were tear stains in the corners of his eyes.
Snyder shuddered from his pocket and pulled out his phone and found a number with no name on it.
Dial.
Doodoooooo β
The phone went through, and the other party only spoke one word.
"Say it. β
"You lied to me!" Snyder roared, burying his head behind the wheel.
"What do you mean by lying to you?" the other party snorted coldly.
"You took our money, it's a deal. β
"You said that children only have small colds...... It's just uncomfortable. β
"Oh, did I say that?"
"This medicine varies from person to person, and only a few of the more than 60 children in your welfare home have adverse reactions, which is already the best luck. β
The words on the other side were relaxed, and he didn't pay attention to it at all.
"They're facing death!!" Snyder said in an accentuated tone, his fingernails leaving deep scratches on the seat.
"What a normal thing to die young, hahahaha. β
"You're a bunch of demons!"
Before Snyder could continue to be angry, the other end of the phone interrupted him rudely.
"We are demons, what are you?"
"Don't forget, you handed out the medicine to each of the children, and how happy they were when they received the candy from their Dean Snyder. β
"Your current car, your wife's clothes, your son's new school......"
"I don't need to say anything more about all this. β
"Mr. Snyder, don't do this brainless act again, or a Snake will find you. β
"We are people in the same boat. β
"Don't call me anymore, we've never met. With that, the phone hung up.
"Wait!" Snyder dialed again, only to find that it was an empty number.
Boom!
With his fists slamming down on the dashboard, Snyder pulled his hair and screamed.
