True Love Waits novel Chapter 968

Gillian pointed her fingers at the skin-care products and raised her head to gaze at the saleswoman. "How much is one set?"

"Oh, this series has liquid essence, facial cream, eye cream, and facial mask. The general price is eight hundred and eighty thousand. If you buy it today, we can also give you a ten-thousand-worth certificate of Shining International Plaza with no strings."

'Eight hundred and eighty thousand?' Gillian's eyes widened at that. Her heart trembled after hearing the price. The most expensive set of skin-care products she had ever used was only about 200, 000 dollars, but this set was worth more than 800 thousand. Was it gold?

Gillian closed her eyes, and Evelyn's face popped up in her mind. Her fair skin was probably the result of this particular product. She eyed the material for a long time and hardened her heart. She must get this one if she wanted to walk in front of Evelyn with confidence. "Pack one for me."

"Okay, ma'am, please give me an address." The saleswoman took out her pen and notepad. "Our staff will deliver it to your home tomorrow."

At first, Gillian intended to leave her home address, but an idea flashed through her mind. If she happened to get the costly skin-care products in front of her colleagues, they would be jealous of her for sure. Her eyes brightened at the thought. "Gillian Chi, the manager of the finance department of ZL Group." How could she not brag about such an expensive set of skin-care products? She took a picture and shared it on WeChat Moments.

ZL Group was well-known in Y City, and its office building had become a landmark for everyone.

The saleswoman glanced at Gillian with sparkling eyes. "Wow, so, you're a manager of ZL Group. But you look so young. You're awesome!"

Gillian flipped her long hair near her ear and smiled in feigned modesty. "I'm flattered. I'm ready to pay."

"Okay, please wait for a moment, Miss Chi."

After paying the bill and leaving the address, Gillian went back to the cinema alone.

She looked at her watch. Sheffield and Evelyn must be inside the cinema already. That was when her eyes swept on her friend, who had been waiting for her. She walked over and began telling her friend how expensive those beauty products were.

Sheffield had originally wanted to take Evelyn to the theater but eventually failed. Just when the ticket taker was about to take their tickets, he got a phone call from the hospical. "Dr. Tang, we've got a new patient, male, 45 years old, in a very critical state. Third-stage hypertension, fifth-stage chronic kidney disease, chronic Hepatitis B, hepatic cirrhosis. Now his creatinine level is more than 700, and he has whole-body edema, shortness of breath, and he is gasping heavily. Also, he has acute heart failure, heart function level four. His condition is very serious. Dr. Li and Dr. Gu are in their hometowns. Can you come over and see him?"

Sheffield cast an apologetic glance at Evelyn and paused for a moment. "I'm on my way." He had promised Dr. Li and Dr. Gu two days ago that he would fill in during the Spring Festival so they could celebrate the festival with their families. Sheffield had thought since he was alone, he wouldn't mind putting in a few more hours at work. It was not like he had anything better to do.

Debbie hadn't invited him to Huo family's house to celebrate the New Year back then. He hadn't even expected to take Evelyn to a movie on New Year's Eve.

Evelyn knew something was wrong. "Was that from the hospital?"

"Yes." Sheffield sighed and looked at her. "A patient of acute heart failure has been sent there. The situation is serious. I have to go. Evelyn, I'm so sorry. Do you want to watch the movie alone or go home?" This was the first time that they had been on a date to watch a movie, and he had to deal with an emergency. His face was flushed with guilt.

Evelyn's heart warmed at his reaction, and she instantly grabbed his hand. "I'll go with you."
