Chapter 12: Until You Came
Arya walked away from Ryu, enough for him to not hear her voice. She answered the phone and heard her Mom crying on the other end of the line.
"Mom, what’s going on? What happened?" She asked nervously. Panic struck her, she thought that something must have gone wrong.
"No, dear, there’s nothing to worry. I’m just so happy. It’s my tears of joy. The doctor just told me that they have already had a matching donor for your sister. They confirmed the date of the operation: this coming Tuesday. Dear, your sister will now be fine." Her Mom was stammering and still sobbing in a low tone.
Then, her mom added, "And your dad called. The trial was at his advantage. New pieces of evidence were found to prove that he was just being framed up."
Arya heard her Mom cry out loud this time.
Her father was the CEO of Tan Corporation. He has been arrested for felony charges, causing Tan Corporation to collapse and went bankrupt. His trial was still ongoing.
Her family had encountered a catastrophe in just a day. On that one day, everything was gone: their mansion, their cars, everything was confiscated, and all their bank accounts were frozen.
She had asked for help but no one wanted to get involved. Her mom was just a simple housewife. While she even struggled on her last year at college. Thankfully, Kay helped her and she was able to graduate that year.
They became penniless, without her dad. Then, her sister Reese collapsed because of another kidney failure. Reese was born weak from the start and had already undergone an operation before. Right now, she needed a transplant and was an in-patient at the hospital for close monitoring.
