Chapter 15

I'm not on my own getting ready for my live streaming later. I can't hide the trepidation I feel from these kras right now as mom is in the operating room and there is no certainty of what will happen to her after the operation. The doctor told me then that there's a possibility that even if the operation is successful, it's still not guaranteed that he will recover.

And that's where I will need the rest of the 20M that I asked Andrea, my mom needs professional attention after the surgery, so my plan is to take her and Nisha to China so that mom can be treated there and Anisha can study there.

"Drey can you go live today? It's like you're not yourself"

Lily asks as she was helping me to fix my hair while I was cleaning my face I usually starts my live stream barefaced because I make skin care tutorials and whatever else I do in the stream, my face must be ready for even what makeup style will the viewers ask me to do.

"Don't worry jiejie I can manage but I have a favor but can I have a favor?"

"Anything"

"Then after this can you please go to the hospital and check on my mother? Now it's her surgery and Nisha is alone and please let me know about her, I can't go to them at the moment because..."

She smiled and finished fixing my wig and putting on accessories because the theme of today's live is contemporary and I have to wear hanfu or your traditional Chinese clothing. It's a good thing that I brought some hanfu home here because I left most of my live-stream costumes in China, so we still have to order-in online for the rest that we will use.

"Alright, I'll take care of it, I'll replace you later"

The live-stream lasted for about an hour and a half because there were so many questions about the new products and we had to answer them properly for a good marketing outcome.

"Yue-jie before you end this live may we ask about your mom?" I read a user's comment. "Yue-jie is it really true that she's sick and needed to take a surgery?"

"Jie I pray for your mom's recovery very very soon"

And many more questions about mom. In the Chinese online community I was known as Yue so viewers usually call me Yue because that is also my Chinese name. "Uhmm as of the moment my mom is preparing for a delicate surgery so I hope y'all help me on praying for the success of her surgery and her recovery and don't forget especially our international customers to ensure the legitimacy of the products that you'll buy just go to my official website and check out our the partner stores you can also find some discount codes if buy the bundle promo and that will be all for today see you again soon it has been your favorite make up artist Yue, babe!!! (Good bye)"

I said as I turned off the live and sighed. I am glad that someone like them understands my situation, somehow someone makes me feel better. "Don't worry aunt is a survivor, she will overcome this"

Lily's strength inside me. I know that mom will be able to handle this even though she's been through so much since then, she's going to give up now? Another thing he said is that he won't leave Nisha and me until he is sure of our future, so I know he will fight, it's just a pain.

I talked to him last night and he said he will make sure that when I come back he will be fine. He thought I came back to China to work because he knew I had no other source of income than my work there. I don't want to lie to them but I can't do anything but to lie, I'm stuck in a situation, what's important right now is that he gets well soon.

I received a phone call from aunt Celeste telling me to come over in the office for fitting and concept check. Because if I'm right Andrea is working in the designing team of the company and by the way my dad owns a well known shoe brand in the country. That's why I got dressed and fixed myself the Andrea Rodriguez way and like I always do when I'm in front of them I have to forget that I'm Audrey I wore some contact lenses because I know Celeste will immediately notice if I don't have them. My eyes are similar to papa because and my twin's are from mom so if you really know us it is very much easier for you to know which is which.

"Alright Lily I have to go, I will just wait for your update. Please don't even mention to Nisha about what I am currently doing. Please just say that I have returned to China..."
