Chapter 10: 10. five hundred million
Elena believes all these things are not cheap. Not to mention the operating costs when Diego came in here. The cost of her care and now she has to have another operation. Jeez! But Diego had to be operated on because Elena didn't want to lose the man.
Elena's legs went limp when the nurse said the administration fee was up to two hundred and fifty million. Plus the drugs Diego was using were expensive. Especially when Diego realizes that he needs therapy so he can walk normally again. Even now, doctors are not sure when Diego will regain consciousness. It could be the day after tomorrow, one week, one month, or one year.
Elena needed at least five hundred million in cash. Where did Elena get that kind of money in such a short time? Never mind five hundred million, even ten million Elena doesn't have it right now.
Elena walked unsteadily. Her body was limp with today's series of events that shook her so much. She sat slowly in the waiting chair.
Where should she find the money? Looking for loans and debt? To whom? Borrowing money on her shelter?
Shelina might help her but Elena wasn't sure that girl would lend her five hundred million. Because the Wonderfull Cafe has also recently opened.
Borrowing money at the company Diego works for? That is impossible because Diego is even charged with the corruption of company money, something Elena believes is impossible. Because she believed Diego would never do that. No matter how difficult their circumstances are, Diego has never stolen or embezzled illegal money for their survival.
Then, where can Elena get that much-borrowed money? Does she have to deal with loan sharks?
Not. Don't get involved with loan sharks. There is Elena herself who will suffer and suffer more and more. Then, how?
She wanted Diego to be operated on immediately. She wanted him to open his eyes and talk to her again. Should Elena have prostituted herself?
Is there a man who would pay five hundred million to sleep with her? Gosh, Elena's mind was getting more and more confused. She groaned in frustration. But shr won't give up. She would do anything for Diego. For the man, she loves and cares for.
"I'll give you anything as long as you help me."
Elena remembered what Elise said yesterday. Could Elise give her five hundred million if she agreed to the deal?
Elena knew Elise's idea was crazy, but now she is in a desperate need and needs a large amount of money. Then Elena thought back to Brian, isn't the man's name Brian Fernandez. Could he be the owner of the company Fernandez Corporation where Diego worked? If Brian owned that big company, he must have had a lot of money. And five hundred million was a small sum for him. Elena should discuss it with Elise. She had to say it. For the man, she loves so much, Diego.
....
"I was so happy when you asked me to meet you." Elise came with a happy face. Elena tried to smile even though her smile looked very stiff. Elena tried to cover up her anxiety.
The two of them are now sitting in the same bar as yesterday they met.
"So what do you want to talk about? Have you changed your mind and want to help me?" An enthusiastic look was evident on Elise's face.
"Before it, I wanted to know if you really can't get pregnant? Do you have to do this? Are you okay if your husband touches another woman? Even though in this case that woman is me, your twin sister but still are you willing? "
The many questions Elena expressed made Elise sighed. The happy look disappeared instantly, replaced by sadness and frustration on Elise's face. She leaned back against the chair as if reluctant to reveal her weaknesses and shortcomings as a woman.
"I ..." Elise straightened back up and spoke seriously with Elena. Hope that by telling her situation honestly, Elena will help her.
"Brian and I have been married for more than five years. And until now our marriage has not been blessed with a child. We have often been in and out of the hospital to check our fertility. Tried alternative medicine or anything that says can make a wife get pregnant quickly. But until now, I'm not pregnant yet. From the doctor's examination, Brian is healthy and fertile. Meanwhile, I ... "Elise paused, very hard to reveal everything even to her twin sister.
"The doctor said I couldn't get pregnant. My eggs weren't good and couldn't be fertilized." Elise closed her eyes and got teary. Ready to shed tears if left for a few more minutes.
"Can't you do therapy or IVF programs?"
"Yes, the doctor said it could still work even if the odds were low, but we couldn't do it."
"Why? Isn't Brian very rich?" Elena's forehead frowned in confusion. Why can't they do it?
"Yes, with Brian's finances, we can do IVF but my mother-in-law will go berserk. Mommy doesn't like me. She will ask her son to divorce me if she finds out I can't get pregnant. Rena, my mother-in-law has always disliked me. only a poor orphan, who does not deserve to be side by side with her only son who is very qualified and has abundant assets. And the presence of Brian's child is important because he will be the heir to the wealth of the Fernandez family, and will continue the company Fernandez Corporation. "
Elena's body jolted in surprise at Elise's words. Her heart rumbled rapidly. Elise's words affected her. Especially the words 'Fernandez Corporation'. So it is true that Brian owns the company Diego works for. The company is currently suing Diego with billions of rupiah in corruption cases.
"Wait, so your husband is the president and owner of the big Fernandez Corporation?" Elena asked in a choked voice. Her hands trembled without Elise noticing.
"Yes, that's why Mommy is so demanding of my child."
Elena ignored Elise's words.
