“Did you call her?” Jessica glanced at Marlin. She looked very unhappy. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I didn’t.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Marlin shook his head. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He looked at me and said, “June, why are you here?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Me?” I looked at them indifferently and said, “I’m here for the same purpose as you!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It seemed that they all wanted to keep it from me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Marlin looked at me and was upset. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He seemed to want to get rid of me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At this time, a doctor came up with a folder. He saw us and said, “here you are. I’m going to announce it.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Marlin and Jessica took a look at me. They were dissatisfied, but the doctor was here. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The doctor opened the folder and simply read Sherry’s admission time, coma time and some data. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Finally, he announced Sherry’s brain death. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The doctor looked at us and said, “please go back and discuss when to turn off the ventilator.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
If they turned off the ventilator, Sherry would die. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I don’t agree!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I firmly disagreed! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daniell just died. Now if Sherry died, I couldn’t accept the loss of two important people. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jessica took a look at me. “This is Carter Family. You don’t belong to Carter Family. You can’t decide it.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“If they turn off the ventilator, grandma will die!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at Jessica. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Mom died a long time ago. Only her organs are still running! She is already a vegetable. Do you know what a vegetable means?” Jessica said. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The doctor watched us quarrel and said, “be quiet.” Then he left. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He must have seen it many times. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I knew what a vegetable meant, but I didn’t want to do it, “but there are a lot of news reports that the vegetative people wake up after many years of coma.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“News?” Jessica immediately laughed, “don’t you think it’s ridiculous? If it’s not rare, can it be news?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She said and looked at Marlin. “Don’t you speak? You know what Carter Family is like now. Mom costs tens of thousands of dollars a day. How long can we last?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“But we can’t turn off the machine today.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Marlin said after a long silence. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He seemed to have made up his mind. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But it couldn’t change the ruthlessness of what he said. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“We have to turn off the machine this month, or I won’t pay!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jessica put her hands around her chest and looked firm. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Marlin looked sad. “Let’s go back and discuss it.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They couldn’t discuss it in front of me because I would stop them. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Molly watched them fight and said, “Auntie, Dad, we can’t turn off the ventilator now. If grandma can really wake up, don’t you regret it?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Her words surprised me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I wasn’t surprised after thinking for a while. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t know what she was thinking, but she had been pretending to be kind. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Marlin looked at her and was a little impatient. “If it was before, it doesn’t matter. Now you should know something about our family.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You can make Sean pay. He has a lot of money anyway.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jessica satirized her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When it came to Sean, Molly was embarrassed, “I’ll tell him about it. But I don’t think it’s good. After all, it’s our family’s business.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Forget it. Let him invest his money in Carter Family. Now Carter family needs money. Don’t owe him.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jessica said. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She took it for granted. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was angry. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She didn’t care about Sherry’s life at all. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’ll find a way to pay.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I couldn’t get them to turn off Sherry’s ventilator. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
All three of them looked at me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jessica laughed sarcastically, “Okay, June. I’ll wait for you to pay.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
With that, she left. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Marlin took a look at me and left. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
All of a sudden, only Molly and I were left. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I wanted to leave, but I heard Molly behind me say, “I’d better ask Mr. Jessop for some money.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I stopped. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at her and asked, “don’t you have any money?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Molly looked embarrassed and shook her head. “No, I checked my bank records recently. In recent years, Mr. Jessop has transferred money to me every month. The credit card I used was also from Mr. Jessop.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean was cunning. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He fed Molly when he was with me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was very angry. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I squinted at Molly. “You have your own hands and feet. Why don’t you go out and make money?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I…” Molly said awkwardly, “I can’t do anything. You did some of my college work for me. I don’t get enough for a month to buy a dress.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She was right. She couldn’t do anything. She couldn’t make any money. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“So you’re going to be fed by Sean? What if one day he doesn’t feed you?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Mr. Jessop will not.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Why?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t understand why Molly said so firmly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I never understood them. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I…” Molly gave me a look. Her eyes were a little complicated. She hesitated for a long time before she said, “anyway, he will give me money.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What do you love, his money or him?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I wanted to ask her that question a long time ago. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I had a bad relationship with Molly before, so I didn’t have a chance to ask her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Both.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Molly’s answer surprised me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She said that and left. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She didn’t ask me to keep her secret. It seemed that this didn’t matter to her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She believed that Sean loved her anyway. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t know if Molly really lost her memory. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Instead of going home after I left the hospital, I went to the real estate agency. I wanted to know how much my house was worth now. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The estate agent told me it was worth 14 million dollars, but they didn’t promise to sell it immediately. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was going to the final in two days and I didn’t know how long I would be back. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
If they sold my house, I couldn’t come back. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t want to leave the money entirely to a real estate agent. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I went home and found Jessica’s contact information. Instead of calling her, I added her as a friend first. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I sent her a video of her phone call that I recorded at the hospital before Sherry had surgery. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
