Chapter 329: Chemotherapy
The woman was furious, and was very open.
-Pay up, pay up, or I will sue you. I know your company is very powerful, I see you on the news every
day. I want you to pay me to cure my little boy.
Mariana was not frightened by his shout, and said calmly:
-Calm down a little first.
Click!
Another door also opened, and out came a little boy with red lips, white teeth, and bright eyes.
Only the hair had been deliberately shaved off.
Mariana looked at him, narrowed her eyes, and poked the boy in bewilderment:
-This is the sick little friend, isn't it? Come and let Auntie take a look.
-Come back.
The woman scolded the boy again, and he went back to his room frightened.
Mariana raised her eyebrows, feeling strange in her heart, and looked at the male owner who was
eating in the room. That black circle under his eyes looked like one of the symptoms of cancer, instead,
that boy was so animated that he could probably run 800 meters right now.
Mariana thought this family was too strange.
Faced with the family's arrogance, Mariana opted to continue her interrogation.
-What is the boy's condition? Why isn't he continuing chemotherapy?
-Tsk, are you blind? Can't you see what's going on in my house? Do you think I can afford
chemotherapy? -the man replied with a harsh tone.
In response, Mariana strongly disagreed.
-But you can't skip chemotherapy either. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
-Can you shut up? Who wants to make children suffer when they have money? Your company giving
the money back to our family is the right thing to do," the woman interrupted her.
Mariana frowned.
-I've come to find out what's going on.
-That means you'll have to pay us back!
The man's originally disheveled appearance instantly became a hundred times more animated.
This contrast made Mariana feel very uncomfortable.
-Her situation is understandable. If it really is our company's problem, our company will compensate,"
Mariana said indifferently and prepared to leave.
Both adults' eyes lit up with greed.
The man quickly picked up his expression.
-That's better.
-I'll go first then.
Mariana glanced at the family before leaving and felt more and more that something wasn't right and
she had to check again.
She always had the feeling that this matter was not as simple as she imagined.
When she returned to the office, Mariana told her boss what had happened that day. The boss
informed her of the matter with a sullen face and received the reply that the company would take care
of the matter and told Mariana not to get involved.
Mariana did not agree with this, but pretended to accept it.
During the lunch break.
Mariana's mind was still on the morning's events and she was debating whether to call Ana or not.
-What are you doing?
An icy voice suddenly sounded behind her, instantly sweeping away all of Mariana's thoughts.
-No, it's nothing, is something wrong with Mr. Durán? - Mariana looked away from Leopoldo and
answered him.
As if reading her mind, Leopoldo said directly:
-The company will take care of the company's affairs. What can you do as a designer? Don't cause
trouble.
Mariana had a hint of displeasure in her heart. Was there something wrong with her being worried
about the company?
-Señor Durán, you are thinking too much.
Mariana turned and left after she had finished talking for a while.
With doubts in her heart and concern for the child, Mariana approached the family again.
-What are you filming? -Leopoldo's icy voice sounded again behind Mariana.
In fact, when Mariana left, Leopoldo became concerned and followed her silently and, as expected,
Mariana kept coming back to this family.
Mariana, for her part, was startled.
-Why are you here? Shh, don't talk yet," said Mariana rhetorically.
-I was just passing by on business and I saw you being sneaky," explained Leopoldo gently.
Upon being discovered, Mariana replied in a low voice:
-The sneaky one is you.
However, before she could react in the next second, Leopoldo covered her mouth with one hand, drew
her into his arms and approached a small bush nearby.
The man of the house came back from outside cursing.
-What bad luck!
The man said and opened the door of the house, stopping the movement of mother and child who had
been eating inside.
-Where will you die again? -asked the woman in an unkind tone.
-Where are you dying again? I'm just going for a walk, don't talk nonsense in front of the children," the
man scolded in disgust.
Instead, the little boy mumbled and spoke:
-Daddy, don't you want to stop gambling?
The man stroking the little boy's head with a relieved expression stopped moving.
Just as the woman was about to get angry, the man hastened to agree.
-Yes, daddy promises!
The woman took the plate to the table and looked coldly at the man.
-Humph! I tell you, this time I hope it's the last time, when we get the money from the Elamorad
company to pay our debt, we'll get out of here.
-I got it, I got it.
The man's attitude was very perfunctory, and then he continued:
-No more gambling when the Elamorad company gives us the money to pay my debt.
Mariana, who was secretly recording the video, was a little angry.
She did not expect this family to be like this and to teach their children badly.
-Hey, what are you doing here?
Mariana, who was recording a video, was so startled by this shout that her phone almost fell to the
floor. Leopoldo frowned and turned to see an old man with a broom looking askance at them.
And a movement was heard from inside the house.
-It's you, what are you filming!
The word "run" lingered in Mariana's mouth before she could leave with the phone, but she had no
intention of leaving.
The man inside the house cursed and followed.
The man ran out the door in slippers and went to take the phone from Mariana, but Leopoldo pushed
his hand away, further increasing the coldness in his eyes.
-You! Who are you? -the man, somewhat embarrassed, shouted.
-Who am I? You don't deserve to know," Leopoldo answered coldly.
He turned to the side and blocked Mariana behind him, keeping the man away from her.
Mariana's view was completely blocked, leaving only a back. A very tall and very confident back, which
reassured her completely.
At that moment, under Leopoldo's cold gaze, the man began to falter a little.
-Just wait! The Elamorad company is really a black-hearted company, breaking the law and trying not
to be responsible. I'm going to call the police!
The screaming man pulled out his cell phone and pretended to make a call.
Mariana snorted and looked at him.
-You're the liar, your son is not sick at all. Using a child to swindle money, doesn't your conscience
hurt?
-Don't talk nonsense! -The man replied in a crude tone, but the anguish in his eyes was evident.
