Chapter 420 Lilly’s Deception
Kelly was utterly embarrassed and couldn’t find a way out of the situation. She believed that Blake must have misunderstood her, which was why he disliked her so much. Regardless, she had been bitten and was bleeding, and they were responsible for their dog.
No matter how much he disliked her, it would be reasonable and humane to have her wounds treated, wouldn’t it?
Kelly held up her bloodied hand, pitifully pleading, “Big bro, but my hand hurts… Please, stop joking
around…”
Blake remained expressionless. “Cut it off, then it won hurt.”
Kelly remained speechless.
She felt strange gazes from all around, making it even more difficult for her to save face.
Kelly resentfully glanced at Blake, about to say something more when the door to the emergency room opened.
Lilly jumped off her chair, and Blake stood up as well.
Kelly was reluctant, but she had no choice. She temporarily covered her wound with a tissue and quickly. followed them inside.
Before Lilly and Blake could ask anything, she preemptively asked the doctor, “Doctor, how is the dog? Is it okay? Please, do everything you can to save it. It’s so pitiful…”
Kelly looked extremely anxious, and tears even started to fall.
Blake, Lilly, and Grace all remained speechless.
Grace stared at that tear.
How ironic. Since Kelly started crying, the first tear she collected in her life turned out to be a crocodile.
tear.
Legend had it that crocodiles shed tears while devouring humans and animals, a mocking tear specifically meant to ridicule those who harm others while pretending to be compassionate and kind-hearted-the epitome of wickedness and deceit.
Grace raised her hand, and Kelly’s tear vaporized into thin air, replaced by a dark brown glow that flew into her palm.
Meanwhile, the doctor was discussing the dog’s conditien, saying, “It seems it was poisoned with rat poison. There’s no residue of any food in its stomach, which makes the poisoning even more severe…”
Just as he said that Kelly exclaimed, covering her mouth in shock, tears welling up as she emotionally said, “Who could be so despicable! How can anyone harm a dog like this? They’re not even human!”
Blake and Lilly remained silent.
Polly, taken aback, exclaimed, “Holy smokes, what a performance! She’s fierce enough to even fight herself! This is some serious acting!”

Kelly paused.

Polly had picked up various popular catchphrases and memes from short videos, so she wasn’t sure if she was being insulted. However, her emotions were already disrupted, and she felt somewhat annoyed deep.
down.
The doctor continued. “Therefore, to save it, we’re considering extracorporeal removal methods, such as peritoneal dialysis and blood transfusion…”
Anxious, Kelly hurriedly interrupted, “Change the blood transfusion, use my blood!”
Everyone went silent.
Is this woman crazy?
Even the doctor couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
Kelly quickly realized what foolish words she had just uttered and hastily corrected herself, “Ah… No, I was just too anxious… I mean, as long as we can save it, we can do anything. I beg you, doctor, please do whatever it takes to save it!”
The doctor nodded, “Alright, we’ll arrange for peritoneal dialysis and blood transfusion.”
Kelly: “Yes! Arrange it, it must be arranged! I’m willing to do anything as long as we can save the dog…”
Completely absorbed in her act, Kelly didn’t notice that Blake and Lilly had been silent, watching her quietly.
Then…
The doctor handed a form to Kelly, saying, “Okay, sign here, and then proceed to make the payment. Including the emergency treatment, it amounts to twenty thousand dollars.”
A flicker of astonishment flashed in Kelly’s eyes.
Twenty thousand dollars!
It’s so expensive??
In the past, she had brought cats and dogs for emergency treatment to film content, but who would spend twenty thousand dollars to save a dog?
Kelly hesitated and sought help by looking at Blake.
Blake crossed his arms, his expression scornful, showing no intention of speaking.
So, she liked to hog the spotlight, didn’t she?
Now it was her chance to truly shine.
Kelly’s eyes welled up with tears, “I don’t have money….. I wish I could save it with my blood, but I don’t have money… Sob, sob, big bro, what should I do?”
Lilly couldn’t take it anymore!
She exclaimed loudly, “Auntie, this is my dad. Can you please stop calling him ‘big bro, big bro? You’re not

a little kid! And didn’t you say you would do anything to save the dog? You can get a loan, you know!”
Lilly recalled those ubiquitous loan advertisements.
“Auntie, take out your phone!”
Kelly feeling curious.
Lilly said, “Click on the link of the person with the most likes in the comments section, and you can check your credit limit! Look! You have a reserve of 150,000 dollars!”
Kelly remained speechless.
Lilly continued, “Don’t worry, it’s an online loan! The daily interest rate starts at just 1.9 dollars, cheaper than a bottle of water! You won’t have to worry about those impolite people mocking you anymore!”
Kelly still didn’t spill any word.
Damn, what the hell, getting a loan to save a dog?!
Did they think I was a fool?
Those unreliable online loan advertisements were downright stupid.
Talking about reserves in such a grand manner, but it was just online loans! Only a fool would believe them.
Once you dared to take a loan, they’d ensure you entered wearing gold and silver, but you’d come out with nothing but your underwear. You wouldn’t even have a place to cry.
You might even be trapped forever, never able to make it to shore and ruin your entire life.
She wouldn’t be foolish enough to resort to online loans to save a dog! It was just a stray dog, after all. What was it worth?
But she had just said it herself, about being willing to do anything… Kelly struggled to find the words, but nothing came out….
Lilly sighed, “Auntie, didn’t you say you would do anything to save the dog? Look, you have 150,000 dollars now, and you’re not even willing to spend 20,000 to save the dog.”
She was more stingy than me.
Kelly’s face turned red, “But… online loans are scams, ind I…”
Lilly waved her hand, “Auntie, you don’t have to say anything! I know you were just pretending! We don’t need your help, just stay away.”
She had never intended for this stingy auntie to contribute any money.
This auntie was just pretending. She spoke so nicely, but when it came time to pay, she looked at Daddy.
Was she expecting Daddy to pay? Who was she to make Daddy spend money? And would she ask for Daddy’s contact information to repay him later? That’s how it was portrayed on TV
She couldn’t let this bad auntie have her way!

The little girl reached into her bag and pulled out a toy phone-she had plenty of balance, 20,000 dollars, more than enough!
She then took the bill from the doctor’s hand and ran off with Polly, saying, “Polly, let’s go pay!”
Polly flapped her wings and squawked. “You don’t even fave a credit limit of 150,000 in a month. We’re 1
not a match!”
