Chapter 418: The Price of the Mirror of Wishes
"Munn, no matter what, I'm going to let you live."
On the hospital bed, a child with short blond hair lies there, his eyes closed, his face pale, and a retention needle for infusions in his hand.
William sat on the edge of the hospital bed, holding his son's hands, his eyes bloodshot.
A few years ago, after breaking his heart, the woman left ruthlessly, leaving behind a broken family, and William was once devastated by it, drinking heavily all day long, and rarely caring about his son.
Until one day he came home drunk again, and saw his five-year-old son standing in front of the kitchen stove, his feet on the bench, his slender hands holding the pan that did not match his size, and his thin body trying to stand up just to eat a piece of hot fried bread.
Just for, a piece of bread.
William held on to the door frame and was stunned in front of the kitchen door for a long time, silently watching his son sweat profusely behind his back.
He still remembers the innocent smile on his son's face when he found him.
"Dad, I can cook and eat by myself, and I won't cause trouble to Dad."
From that moment on, William decided that no matter what happened in the future, he must do his best to give his son the best life.
He never drank alcohol again, returned to work, and while trying to make money, no matter how tired he was, he would definitely set aside time to spend with his son.
The days are getting better day by day, the scars of the past are gradually healing, and the future is full of hope, but not long ago, when William was bathing his son, he suddenly found a dense red dot on his son's back, which looked like allergy symptoms.
He immediately took his son to the hospital for examination, and the result turned out to be a malignant hemangioma, and it was congenital, and if it was not treated in time, the mortality rate would skyrocket.
But the cost of treatment requires 800,000 yuan, which is an astronomical amount for William.
At the time of the divorce, in order to have custody of his son, he gave almost all his property to his ex-wife, and now, the house where the father and son live is rented.
William had tried his best, but he couldn't raise that much money.
Just two hours ago, he had just mustered up the courage to go to his ex-wife's place to ask for her help, and Mun was also her son after all, if he could sell the house......
But William had always known how heartless that woman was.
"It has nothing to do with me whether the child is dead or alive, and I don't need to talk about money."
When she said this, there was no guilt on her face, as if she took it for granted.
William looked at his son's arm, the red tumor that had spread out, and his heart hurt like a knife.
"There is still 600,000 left, only 600,000 ......"
Wiping away tears, William stood up and left the room.
William has been decadent once, and he won't be decadent a second time.
The only person a son can rely on in this world is him, and the only person he can rely on in this world is his son.
Now he needs 600,000 yuan to be able to buy his son's life.
In the hospital corridor, William took out the crumpled business card from his pocket, and his other hand subconsciously touched the location of his kidney.
One for 400,000, plus cornea......
Time is almost too late, my son is still young, even if it is worth paying with his life.
The decision was made, and William went into the hospital bathroom, he had not slept well for many days and needed to wash his face to relieve his exhaustion.
Open the door to the restroom, it's clean inside, there should be no one.
William stood in front of the pool, turned on the faucet, held the cold tap water in both hands, and was about to wash his face, but suddenly a cool feeling ran down his spine and spread to his limbs, making him shiver.
Fear rushed to his senses, and William froze in place, trembling.
The air around him seemed to freeze, the scene in front of him was slightly distorted, and there was a whispering sound in his ears, like a hallucination, but like a series of abominable maggots with substances, madly burrowing into William's mind.
William slowly raised his head.
On the mirror above the pool, his figure was reflected, but it was so strange and so ...... Shudder.
Reason kept urging William to get out of this ghost place quickly, but his body didn't obey him at all.
Then he clearly saw that the person in the mirror was talking.
"What is your desire, human being?"
"Mine, Wish......"
William seemed to have forgotten his fear for a moment, and his face was a little dull.
The man in the mirror spoke softly and continued: "As long as you make a wish to me, I can help you fulfill all your requests." ”
William opened his mouth sneeringly: "Really, can anything be done?" ”
"Yes, but when my wish is granted, I will charge you accordingly...... Price. ”
William did not hesitate, and immediately responded: "No matter what the price is, as long as my son is alive, as long as I can make up enough fees, yes!" I need money! ”
William propped his hands on the mirror and looked excited: "Six hundred thousand!" I need 600,000! ”
As soon as the words fell, the mobile phone in William's pocket suddenly vibrate, but he didn't have time to care at this time.
The eyes of the man in the mirror showed sadness.
"Your wish has been granted, and I will pay the price."
How could it be so fast?
William looked left and right, and there was no large amount of cash in the bathroom, and there was no suitcase capable of holding it.
"Hey, where's the money?"
William held the mirror and questioned the other party.
However, there was no answer, and the picture in the mirror returned to normal.
William was stunned, and a little confusion flashed in his eyes.
He took two steps back and left the sink.
"I'm here, what are I doing?"
By the way, I was washing my face, and it seemed that it was just now, and the phone rang.
William pulled out his phone, and a message from the bank was displayed on the screen.
Latest credit: 600,000 league coins.
……
……
"Huh?"
As soon as he walked to the door of the hospital, Xia Ren suddenly felt a familiar fluctuation, and couldn't help but raise his head and look into the depths of the hospital.
"What's wrong?"
Qin Yun asked.
Lu Yi and Lily also looked over.
"Nothing."
Xia Ren shook his head.
They set off last night, took a plane for more than ten hours, and just arrived in Sori City, which is under the jurisdiction of the Western Continent of Maryland, and the time was almost noon.
According to information provided by black phones, the most recent homicide that was discovered in a suspected heterodox sacrifice scene took place in the city, and real estate agents have also arrived here.
As soon as Xia Ren got off the plane, he began to call the real estate agent, but he couldn't get through anyway, and he asked the local logistics department to find out that the victim's body was temporarily kept in this hospital, and the real estate agent came to investigate early in the morning, so Xia Ren also rushed over with Qin Yun and them.
At noon, there were more people in the outpatient hall, and Xia Rengang was about to go directly to the morgue of the hospital, when he suddenly noticed something abnormal.
He searched the crowd and quickly found the source of the anomaly.
It was a middle-aged man dressed decadently, but with an excited smile on his face, and when the other party may have encountered something happy, he walked with a relatively light foot.
The most important point is that the eyes of the other party.
Without light, Hitomi was like two caves that devoured all the light, from which no light could escape.
It's completely pitch black.
Xia Ren had seen someone in the same situation before.
That person, called Yu Jingjing, caused this situation - the mirror of wishes!
Xia Ren walked straight towards the other party, but before he could get to him, someone took the lead.
A nurse with the same blonde hair and a round figure ran up to the man and said, "Mr. William, I haven't been able to get through to call you, your son's hospitalization fee is still owed, at least you pay a part of the ...... first"
William's face suddenly turned cold, and he responded lightly: "Oh, I know. ”
"Also, Dr. Harlan said that if your son's condition drags on, the risk will increase exponentially, and it is best to have surgery next month."
"The cost of the operation, it seems to be 800,000, right?"
The nurse nodded: "That's right, about 800,000." ”
William pulled out his phone and looked at the message again.
Latest credit: 600,000 league coins.
Current balance: 793809.33 league coins.
Cut, that oil bottle, I finally have so much money, do I have to spend it all in order to treat him?
William didn't want to, he didn't have any feelings for his son, anyway, it was born by that woman, just let the other party take care of it.
"What does surgery have to do with me?"
William impatiently pushed the nurse away and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute."
A voice stopped him.
