Trapped In Tasty Lips

Chapter 38 Crowd funding

However, Wendy was no longer sleepy. Unwilling to force herself to fall asleep again, she went to the living room, where sandwiches and milk were placed. Meanwhile, Chelsea and Wilson had gone to work.

There was a note on the milk cup, which was clearly written by Chelsea, "Dear Wendy, I'm going to work. The breakfast is ready and there is food in the fridge, you can live here for the time being. Don't worry about it, call me if anything happens!"! Chelsea loves you forever!

Wendy was touched, but... Chelsea and Wilson were going to get married soon, it was not a permanent solution for her to live here as a third wheel.

Wendy finished the breakfast prepared by Chelsea and began to think about what she should do.

That was how people were like, their hearts were full of hope, but... All of a sudden, the hope was shattered, and they would find themselves as if they were in a sea, not going in a direction.

Wendy was like this now, she was at a loss and didn't know how to judge the balance in her heart.

At this time, the only person she wanted to see most was her mother, Cheryl. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Wendy packed up her things. Fortunately, both of she and Chelsea had the same figure. They could almost exchange their clothes, so Wendy just picked a light yellow dress and went to the hospital.

It seemed that her mother's health had been getting better and better day by day. Seeing that Cheryl was happily chatting with another patient beside the bed, Wendy felt that her empty heart was filled with warmth in an instant, seeing her mother happy was what she wanted to see most.

As soon as Wendy entered the ward, the maid who was in the same ward with her mother held Cheryl's hand with a smile and said, "Alas! Your beautiful daughter has come to see you... "

Sure enough, as soon as Cheryl turned around, she saw Wendy standing behind her, she couldn't help but take her hand and said, "Oh, my beautiful daughter!"

Cheryl held Wendy's hand and said a lot. Wendy was also very happy, now her mother was her support, so she was also happy to see her mother healthy and happy like this.

The two chatted for a while before the nurse came in and urged them to pay the medical fees.

The smile on Cheryl's face faded instantly, she looked at her daughter. Wendy patted her on the shoulder to comfort her. "Mom, don't worry. You can go basking in the sun here. I will be back soon..."

Cheryl opened her mouth. In fact, Wendy hadn't told her much about the medical fees these days, but she knew that it must be a lot. Her family's savings were not very much, and logically speaking, they wouldn't be able to hold on for so long. However, Wendy just said she could support the medical fees only because she found a good job recently, and she had always told her not to worry about it.

Wendy followed the doctor to the counter, the nurse put the list in front of her -- fifty-three thousand. Looking at the number on it, Wendy's heart sank again, the money Leah gave her was running out.

But every day, her mother's medical expenses were a large sum of money. After paying the medical fees, Wendy also sank to the freezing point, the remaining money in her card was estimated to be only enough for a month's living expenses.

No, she had to find a way, or she would be waiting for death!

In the next few days, she didn't go to the Jiang Family's house, she knew that she was still angry with Leo because of what happened that day, so she stayed at the house of Chelsea and Wilson for the time being!

Chelsea and Wilson happened to be working overtime these days, so they came back very late. Wendy didn't bother to cook dinner, anyway, they must have had dinner outside, and sometimes they would even bring her some snacks. So Wendy just fed herself casually every night.

That night, Wendy ate some bread and drank a glass of milk casually, then she fell asleep on the sofa. But she just woke up in a sharp cry!

What she saw was Chelsea's enlarged face. Wendy shivered with fear and couldn't help but step back. "Ah! You scared me to death... "

Before Wendy could calm herself down, Chelsea had already hugged her excitedly. "Wendy, I have a good news for you. You'd better thank me and give me a passionate kiss!"

Wendy couldn't help but look at Chelsea in surprise, she had always been so flustered, simple and lovely. She asked for credit before saying anything...

"What's wrong? What happened? Why are you so happy all of a sudden? " Wendy said with a smile.

However, Chelsea shook Wendy's shoulder and said, "Alas! I don't care. Come and thank me... "

Wendy was speechless and nodded, she stepped forward and held Chelsea in her arms, patting her shoulder to comfort her. "My dear Chelsea, you are my dearest princess. I really appreciate it. Thank you... All right! "

Then, Chelsea took Wendy's hand and sat on the sofa, she blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "You can be saved this time! There is a creative competition, a crowd funding activity! "

As soon as she heard the words "crowd funding", Wendy didn't know much about it. On the contrary, she felt it was quite strange, so she couldn't help but look at Chelsea with confusion.

Chelsea clapped her hands with a smile and explained proudly, "According to the official words, it means that it has a low threshold, variety, relies on the public power and pays attention to the characteristics of creation. It means that it is a kind of raising money to the masses to support the person or organization that it is initiated. But I know you don't understand... "

Wendy rolled her eyes and waited for Chelsea's further explanation.

"There is a design platform right now, they can help the designer complete their dream. As long as your work is supported by enough people, your design will become a reality. Others will pay to buy your design, and you will get a great commission from it!" After explaining a lot, Chelsea couldn't help drinking water.

Wendy nodded. In fact, this method had been applied abroad for a long time, but it was still fresh at home, it had to be said that it was a great encouragement to the designers.

"Thank you! Thank you so much, my dear Chelsea... " Wendy couldn't help holding Chelsea's hand, her heart full of excitement.

When Wendy went back to her room in the evening, she had already started to design the draft. This time, she could only succeed. In the next few days, Wendy concentrated on her design. Chelsea knew what kind of person she was.

As long as she focused on one thing, her heart would be focused on it, so she didn't disturb Wendy but gave her a private space to focus on.

Wendy had to go to the hospital in the daytime, so she had to finish all the design drafts in the evening.

After a week, Wendy paid the medical fees again. This time, the money in her card was less. Wendy couldn't help but feel worried. As soon as she walked out of the hospital, she was stopped by a tall and thin figure.

The familiar scent made Wendy feel that the softest part of her heart was poked by him. She didn't even raise her head, she couldn't tell whether she was afraid or not...

Wendy tried to pretend that nothing had happened and didn't see Ellis then leave. But apparently, he didn't intend to let her go.

Suddenly, her wrist sank, and she couldn't move at all. Ellis grabbed her wrist and said, "Wendy! I... "

Wendy pressed her thin lips tightly and didn't say anything, she lowered her head slightly. It was hard to see the expression on her face, but only coldness. "Let me go..."

Ellis stubbornly didn't let go of Wendy. Instead, he held her hand and walked slowly to the front of her, blocking her sight. The sun was just right, but Wendy couldn't see his face in the back light.

"Wendy, can you listen to me..." At this moment, Ellis's tone was more like a plea.

After taking a look at Ellis, Wendy immediately lowered her head, her heart ached from time to time, she couldn't see the sadness in Ellis's eyes, because it was actually infectious.

"Let me go..." Wendy struggled for two times and didn't want to listen to Ellis, she just felt upset. At this time, Ellis's hand suddenly became so strong that Wendy couldn't get rid of it.

"Can you listen to me?" Ellis still held the hand of Wendy, unwilling to let go.

For a moment, because they were at the entrance of the hospital corridor, people came and went, and people kept looking at Wendy and Ellis, this handsome couple. Wendy felt a little embarrassed, but she still didn't look into Ellis's eyes. After all, Ellis was stubborn, he sighed slightly but couldn't be ignored!

"Let's go to another place..." Wendy said in a low voice, but Ellis seemed to be pleasantly surprised. He held Wendy's hand and nodded happily.

"Can you let go of my hand first?" Said Wendy in a cold voice.

Ellis's heart trembled. Looking at the black and soft hair of Wendy, he couldn't help but want to touch it, but... Finally, he held back his thoughts and let go of Wendy's hand. At the same time, he clenched his own hand. He lowered his head and walked beside Wendy.

The two of them went to the small garden of the hospital, which they often went to. It was late autumn, so the lawn began to turn yellow, mixed with the leaves falling from the trees.

The two of them chose a lawn under a sycamore tree and sat down. Wendy didn't look at Ellis, but looked at the quiet lake in front of them.

Ellis was not used to Wendy's silence, she felt lonely in the sun. Was he the one to blame for all the changes?
