My Babies, My Love

Chapter 33

Darcie embraced her. “Let’s go. Mr. Selwyn said that he’ll send us to the hospital.”

As both women walked toward Zachary’s car, he stood behind the vehicle and fixed his gaze on

Patricia.

With a soft voice, Darcie asked her, “Mr. Selwyn has been trying to court you for so many years.

Don’t you have any feelings for him?”

At that, Patricia turned to look at the man wearing a brown coat. He was definitely a good

candidate for marriage since he was not only handsome but came from a reputable family

background.

However, she merely treated him as a friend even though she could mingle well with him. The

intimate feelings that men and women had for each other never existed between Zachary and

Patricia, which was why she didn’t want to be a burden.

She had also met his family members before, and they all hoped that he could marry someone

who shared a similar background as him. After all, Zachary’s family members never fancied

Patricia and even secretly tried to make her leave Zachary with a check.

She didn’t accept their check but fulfilled their request and kept her distance from him. “Yup, it’s

impossible for us.”

When Patricia answered without beating the bush, Darcie responded by nodding.

As Darcie felt that Isaac was a great guy, Patricia should consider dating him since she won’t have

any chance with Zachary. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

When they approached Zachary’s car, they said the same sentence simultaneously. “I’m sorry to

trouble you, Mr. Selwyn.”

Zachary gave a slight smile. “It’s nothing big.”

By the time he had sent them to the hospital, it was already 5.00PM.

The moment Patricia and Darcie entered the ward, they saw the doctor busy tending to Poppy and

making notes. Poppy kept suffering from a nosebleed and continuously shoved her nostrils with

gauze to stop the bleeding. As she struggled, she cried, “Mommy… Mommy!!!!!!”

With several doctors pressing Poppy down to the bed, Darcie rushed over and comforted, “Poppy,

I’m here. Just bear with it for a second. We have to let the bleeding stop first.”

Sylvie hugged Patricia’s leg and whined, “Mom, Poppy is so pitiful. I hope that she can recover

from her illness soon.”

Sylvie burst into tears as soon as she said that, which worried Patricia as her hands formed into

fists.

As Josephine didn’t have the heart to watch such a scene, she also started to sob.

Scott and Stellan calmly watched with gazes that were full of heartache.

It was only when they managed to stop the bleeding that the doctors finally breathed a sigh of

relief. But, after that, one of them had a private word with Darcie.

“Poppy’s condition has taken a turn for the worse. It’s best for her to undergo surgery within these

six months. Otherwise, there is no hope.”

In other words, Poppy only has six more months to live. Tears started to swim in Darcie’s eyes.

“Doctor, will the hospital be able to find a suitable bone marrow? I beg you. We need it.”

The doctor nodded after glancing at the medical report.

“We will expedite the search for Poppy, but you need to have the funds ready. It’s 500 thousand for

medical expenses. If you have the money, you can pay it so that the gene bank will also prioritize

the matter.”

When Darcie heard the amount of 500 thousand, her face paled. She had spent all her money

treating Poppy’s illness for the past two years, leaving Darcie with nothing but the clothes on her

back.

Both Scott and Stellan saw the doctor out of the ward, behaving like two polite adults.

As Poppy had cried too much, she was so exhausted that she fell asleep.

Darcie then tucked Poppy in while Patricia asked Josephine to take Sylvie along. “Why don’t you

take the three kids downstairs to wait for me, Mrs. Zimmers? I’ll be right down. The kids still have

to attend tuition tonight.”

Josephine then held Sylvie’s hand. As Sylvie rubbed her nose and turned to look at Poppy lying on

the bed, Sylvie felt terrible.

Patricia patted Darcie on her shoulder. “Darcie, don’t worry. I’ll help you to find a way to gather the

money.”

Darcie sighed. “Don’t worry. You have to raise three kids, so where would you be able to get so

much money from?”

After Patricia had pondered the matter for the past few days, she realized that her neighbor’s son

had asked whether she needed to borrow any money. If so, he could help her with the process and

obtain the funds on the same day.

Since she felt that it was a convenient route and the money borrowed was to save a life, she

decided to give it a shot.

“Darcie, I’ll take my leave first since I have something to attend to. Then, I’ll be in touch when I

have gathered the money.”

As soon as Patricia entered the elevator, her cell phone vibrated. When she took the device out to

have a look, she glanced at it and saw that it was a message from Isaac on Messenger.
