Book 2: Chapter 4

Jasmine's POV

My sister and I waited for the midnight bus to take us back home. The night was still, calm and quiet, well at least that was what it felt like to me because I became numb.

'Your mother's health is at a critical stage. There's nothing more we can do unless she gets that lung transplant. Without it, she'll only have three months to live, or less. I'm sorry.'

Those words were haunting me and hung on my shoulders like a piece of clothing I couldn't shake off. I had absolutely no idea on how I was going to be able to pay for my mother's lung transplant.

A sum of ten thousand dollars, plus a surgical fee and the list fee. The given total was one hundred thousand dollars.

I would have to hit the lottery to obtain that kind of money.
