《No Way Home》全部章節：第 1 章 - 第 10 章

"Have you had enough, Ariel Shaw? You want to divorce me for 470,000 dollars?" "That's the money for buying a school district home." I looked at Jeremy Yeager."Money sitting in a bank account is just dead money. I've looked into Celia's project, and the return rate is very high.""The return rate is very high?" I pointed at the transfer record on the phone screen. "So, you didn't even consult me before taking our joint asset." "I told you. It's an investment. Celia just came back, and she doesn't have the right connections or funds. As the brother she grew up with, what's wrong with helping her out?" "Brother? What about my father?" I looked into his eyes, asking, "Three years ago, my father lacked 60,000 dollars for a gastric cancer surgery. I begged you on my knees. What did you say then?" Jeremy's eyes darkened for a moment. "How long are you going to keep dwelling on this? I explained to you back then that your family's situation is like an endless pit. If I give you 60,

I spent the whole night on a plastic chair in the hospital corridor.The next morning, my dad's condition stabilized a little. The doctor said that further procedures needed to be carried out for a transfer to another department and asked me to go home to get my dad's previous medical records.I took a cab home.As soon as I pushed open the door, I froze. There was a pair of high-heeled shoes beside the shoe cabinet in the foyer, and a pink suitcase was also there.I changed my shoes and walked in. I heard the sound of the coffee machine in the kitchen.Celia was wearing my grey lounge clothes with a linen apron I bought around her waist as she poured milk into mugs. Hearing the noise, she turned around, a trace of surprise flashing across her face. "Ariel, you're back."She came out with two mugs of coffee, acting like she owned the house. "Jeremy said you stayed at a friend's house last night. I thought you wouldn't come back today."I looked at the clothes on her. They were t

Jeremy held the ticket tightly, his expression looking terrifyingly gloomy. He immediately picked up his phone and dialed my number again."Sorry, the number you dialed is not available. "He irritably tore off his tie and turned to leave."Jeremy, where are you going?" Celia followed him to the door."To the hospital." Jeremy strode into the elevator without looking back.Half an hour later, his car stopped in the underground garage of City Cancer Hospital.He hurried to the inpatient department and went to the ordinary ward where my father had stayed before. However, he pushed the door open to find a stranger lying inside."Nurse, where is Jacob Shaw, who used to be in this bed?" He grabbed the passing nurse.The nurse glanced at him and gave him a strange look. "Are you a family member?""I'm his son-in-law.""Son-in-law?" The nurse scoffed. "Why weren't you here when he was in critical condition and needed emergency treatment last night?"Jeremy was stunned. "Critical co

The next morning, I met Jeremy at the hospital entrance.He had severe dark eye circles and stubble on his chin. The usually neatly pressed suit he wore now looked rather disheveled. He stopped me in my path, holding a bank card in his hand. "Ariel, I have the 470,000 dollars."He handed the card to me, his tone filled with a pleading eagerness. "Since the money with Celia can't be recovered immediately, I liquidated all the investments and shares in my name. I'll cover the rest of your father's treatment costs as well. Don't be mad at me anymore, okay?"I looked at the card but did not accept it. "Jeremy, do you think that everything will be forgotten by just making up the money?"I looked up at his face. "Three years ago, I begged you to lend me 60,000 dollars. You said we help in emergencies, but we don't support endlessly. You said my family will drain our bank account. I sold my dowry and gathered the money myself."I took a deep breath, my voice calm. "Yesterday, my father w

The notice of asset preservation completely drove Jeremy to despair.His company had several important investment projects indefinitely postponed due to this dispute. His partners were extremely dissatisfied with him and even demanded that he withdraw his shares.After shifting the blame, Celia flew abroad overnight, leaving him behind a mess to clean up.Jeremy dealt with debts and lawsuits every day, losing a lot of weight.Meanwhile, through Aiden's introduction, I joined the medical charity foundation. I was in charge of the financial coordination of the patient family aid program. Every day, I dealt with all kinds of medical records and bills.I saw families who cried desperately at the payment counter like me. I used the resources of the foundation to connect them with doctors and apply for subsidies. I turned the agony of selling my dowry into the ability to help others.My father's condition also miraculously stabilized under the new treatment plan.Life seemed to finall
