Chapter 26: Priorities
Lin wei had always wondered why hierarchy existed. Why must we live in accordance to our worth?
It was for this reason. To catalogue the hierarchy of catastrophic events that had happened in her life. And duly rate them.
As things goes, this list was pretty high, considering she’s not even half the average lifespan of a person. But this, this would have to take the cake.
Karma was a bitch who was always one step ahead, waiting patiently to push you over the ledge.
Lin wei stopped laughing, she wiped her face and it came out wet. Bai yue sat back on the bed, her grizzly hair scratching against Lin wei’s cheeks as she sculpted her in for a hug.
"Everything will be fine, wei wei. You’ll see," she gently wiped Lin wei’s tears.
Lin wei clutched Bai yue’s arm tightly against her chest. Her only link to reality. The logical thing was to press the reject button, switched off her phone and throw it into the Pacific ocean.
Perhaps burn it first.
But her fingers trembled badly as she took inventory of what was at stake for her. The sole reason she’d plunged headfirst into this foolhardy mission.
And that was to save her mother. Cancer treatment cost a arm and leg. A kidney too and if things progressed nicely, perhaps she’ll get to keep her brain.
It took a while for her to notice the absence of Bai yue’s soothing warmth. She wiped the snot off her face, sat straight and squared her shoulder.
