Purchased A Mr. Right
Chapter 684

Aunt held her hand and looked at her guiltily. "Emily, I know that you work so hard and you don't have much savings. But we have no choice but to call you back! I've gathered all the money we have and paid for them. I can't ask our relatives for money because they are also victims. Could you ask your friends or colleagues if they can lend you some money?"

"I will try my best to solve it!" Emily tightly held onto her aunt's hand, biting her lips and saying, "Aunt, uncle, don't worry. Well find a way out together!"

As the evening wore on, a growing sense of despair overwhelmed the whole family.

They put all furniture back to their spots. It was almost midnight before Emily and her aunt finally went back to their own rooms to lie down. She was not in the mood to take a shower, so she simply washed up. She turned over, and even if she felt exhuasted, she could not sleep at all.

In fact, at that time, she was just comforting them. How could she find a way out?

Before she broke up with Boyd, she had given him all her savings by economizing on food and clothing. Last month, she just became a regular staff, but places like the TV station didn't pay much. Now her bank balance wasn't very large.

As for her friends, her best friend Wendy had already broken up with Mr. Hogg again. This time was different from the last time for she made up her mind not to return to him. Wendy had already planned to leave Ice city. In this case, how could she borrow money from her?

Her colleague Tina had a leukemia daughter in the hospital, and recently she was badly troubled by the custody battle with her ex-husband. Her bosom friend Anthea Lee often stayed in some remote places abroad, and she couldn't easily contact her. What's more, she needed a huge amount of money, the sooner the better.

Emily couldn't help but sigh.

Selena, who was awake, said with hesitation, "Emily, can you ask your husband?"

Simon...

Emily pursed her lips.

She had just thought of so many people in her mind, but they were all rejected one by one. She had already thought of him subconsciously. She suddenly realized that he had become the only one she could rely on.

But she was a little embarrassed to mention it. After all, they got married with a contract. How could she ask him to give her such a large sum of money unconditionally...

After hesitating for a long time, she still took out her cell phone from under the pillow.

After the line was connected, Emily said awkwardly, "Hey, Simon..."

"Who is calling please?"

However, the one who answered the phone was not him, but a woman.

Emily was stunned. She looked at the phone screen and saw that the number was right. She pursed her lips and said, "I'm looking for Simon!"

On the line, the woman replied considerately, "He's taking a shower. Who are you? What's the matter? If that's urgent, I may convey your words to him!"

Her throat suddenly constricted as she thought of the scene in the evening. She could almost conclude that the woman who answered the phone was the one who left in a sedan with him. Like avoiding a plague, she hung up the phone quickly.

Then she turned off the phone and put it under the pillow. She closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep.

"Sis, is he going to help us?" Selena asked nervously.

Emily bit her lips and whispered in the dark, "Well find a way to solve it ourselves!"

The next day, in the early morning, Emily, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by the noise.

Just like her, Selena opened her sleepy eyes, put on clothes, and ran out of the bedroom in a hurry. She saw the living room, which had just been cleaned up last night, was once again in a mess. Several middle-aged men and women were leaving while swearing. The door was open, someone stood there and angrily raised his fist. "Mr. Jones, I don't need interests, just give my money back! I don't have the patience to wait, next time I must bend some stuff!"

"Dad, are you okay?"

Selena limped over and stomped her uninjured foot angrily, "Oh no, is there no justice? We didn't abscond with money. If they come again, we'll call the police!"

"They don't help. This is a civil dispute. We're not expecting any peace- making people." Aunt sighed helplessly, got up, picked up the cushion on the floor, and shook her head.

"Forget it. Don't bother. They will come again at night!"

Emily cooked breakfast. Except for her and Selena, their elders had no appetite. They put down their scoops without even tasting.

This case cast a pall over their cozy home. They lost their jobs, could only hide at home, not even daring to step out of the door. Through the door, they could hear the discussion from their neighbors. After breakfast, Emily was busy at calling everyone to borrow money, and her cell phone was almost out of power.

She mentioned the difficulties of her family to her boss, and finally got an advance on her salary for the next three months. After that, she also called her friends separately and even contacted all contemporaries she knew at college and barely scraped up one hundred thousand dollars.

But even so, the money she did get was chicken feed. Besides, she had to pay the money back soon.

Not long after she put down the phone, it suddenly rang, and the word "Simon" was displayed on the screen. When she almost touched the green answer button in an instant, but she recalled last night's female voice and drew back her hand.

Gritting her teeth, she screened the phone directly. Then he called back, she rejected again.

To some extent, Simon was not a patient person. So, he didn't intend to call her the third time after being rejected twice.

Emily went to the bathroom and washed her face with cold water. When she came out, she heard the sound coming from the door. She looked up and saw Selena limping against the wall.

"Selena, where did you go?" She asked.

"You don't have to know!" Selena looked guilty as she went into the bedroom.

Emily was confused and felt that her cousin's behavior was a bit strange. She wiped her hands and followed Selena. When she opened the door, Selena quickly put her hands behind her back, as if she was hiding something.

"Selena, what's in your hand?" She asked with a frown. When she saw Selena did not reply and her eyes flickered with guilt, she came forward and said, "Show it to me!"

Emily snatched the item from her cousin's hand.

It was an advertising leaflet that was distributed on the streets. When she unfolded it and saw the text, she immediately opened her eyes wide. It said, "We pay top prices for kidney in living donor. PLS CONTACT US."

Emily said in a low voice, "You're going to sell your kidney?"

"Sis, lower your voice, they will hear you!" Selena quickly locked the door.

"Selena, what are you doing? Why are you taking it?" Emily asked, waving the leaflet.

Selena lowered her head and said with her hands crossed, "I heard from my classmates that kidneys can be sold for money. I saw on this leaflet that they would pay top prices for one. I'm thinking about calling them!"

Hearing this, Emily was furious. She glared at her and said, "Never ever call. Don't you know this is against the law? What's wrong with you?"

"Of course I know it's illegal, but I have no other choice now!" Selena was near to tears with her mouth twitched. "Sis, these people come every day to force dad to pay back the money. When you didn't come back, mom fainted once. If I can't solve it, I'll be scourge by my conscience forever."

"..." Emily fell silent.

Selena tried to persuade her, "Sis, let me ask. I want to earn a lot of money! We have two kidneys. I've already searched on the Internet that it won't matter if a healthy person loses one. Even with one kidney, there is enough renal reserve capacity to live a normal life. At most, my body may be less resistant. I just need to take care of myself in the future and do more exercise!"

If it were any other time, Emily would have scolded Selena. But now...

She turned back and looked at the door. Thinking of the two elders in the opposite bedroom, she felt upset. She had lost her parents since she was a child. Her aunt and uncle had brought her home and raised her like she was their child. Apart from kinship, she owed them a debt of gratitude.

Clenching her fists tightly, she stopped Selena from reaching out to the leaflet. Seeing her plastered right leg, Emily gritted her teeth and said, "You're a freshman, you're still young. I'll go!"

She didn't eat until it was almost evening before she came back from outside.

Her aunt and uncle were worried about the coming days, so they didn't notice what they were deciding in secret.

The next morning, Emily went out dressed.

Selena anxiously ran out of the door and said, "Sis, are you sure you want to go?"

Emily patted her cousin's hand and said, "Selena, I think I won't come back tonight. Please help me find an excuse to tell my aunt and uncle. I'm sure they're not in the mood to ask about me. When I get the money, I'll call you!"

Yesterday, she went out to take a blood examination for a matching test, but she didn't expect that in the evening, news came that the match was perfect, and they were willing to double the price. She was asked to take the kidney transplant operation as soon as possible.

Although she had no experience, she couldn't move easily after surgery. At least she couldn't come back in a day and had to lie on the bed.

"Sis..." Selena became even more nervous when she heard what Emily said.

"I have to go!" Emily smiled and took a deep breath.

Without saying anything else, Emily turned and walked downstairs quickly.

Selena looked at her receding figure. The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. She was regretful for her impulse yesterday for she didn't expect her cousin would go instead...

As the door shut, Selena thought for a while and looked at her silent parents outside the window. She quickly jumped back to the bedroom. After hesitating for two or three seconds, she took out her mobile phone and secretly dialed a number, "Simon!"
