Now he was lying in a hospital bed, critically injured andin desperate need of money for
treatment
I thought for a moment, then took out the card he had given me during the divorce.” This is the 50 thousand from the divorce settlement. Consider it returned. 1 can’t help with anything more.”
Judith took the bank card with trembling hands.

“If this isn’t enough, you can apply for crowdfunding,” 1 suggested. But no matter what I said, it couldn’t change their current situation.
“It’s too late for that now.”
Shaking my head, I left her by the roadside and drove away.
In the rearview mirror, I saw her lifeless figure, her back looking especially desolate. My heart couldn’t help but sink slightly.
After driving a short distance, I noticed pedestrians on the sidewalk rushing in the opposite direction.
“Excuse me, what’s happening over there?” I asked a passerby who was about to run
past.
There’s been a traffic accident. I heard an elderly woman got hit and is dying,” the passerby replied.

Without wasting another second, I unbuckled my seatbelt, pushed open the car door, and ran in that direction.
By the time I arrived, a large crowd had already gathered.
