The Lady Rich System
Chapter 68: Karma

Arsenio immediately turned back the wheel. He abandoned his desire to approach his wife. Now he drove his car to the hospital where his mother treated him.

Arsenio's mind is now branched. He thought of his mother and his wife. Unfortunately, he could not choose both. There was his mother who needed him more.

Along the way, Arsenio could not stop thinking about his wife. The shadow of his wife along with his boss inside the luxurious hotel room always bothered him.

"Damn! Damnit damnit! Shit!" arsenio exclaimed while driving her car.

He was really angry at this moment. He should be able to get to his wife and take her home, unfortunately, he can't. 

In his emotional state, Arsenio drove his car at high speed. Within a few minutes, he arrived at the hospital.

With his hasty steps and half running, Arsenio entered the hospital and immediately met his mother. There was a doctor and nurse examining him.

"What's the matter with my mom doc?" arsenio asked with a breath of gasping for breath as she ran towards her mother's nursery.

The doctor looked towards Arsenio. Then he finished his examination and said,

"Can we talk to you for a second, sir?"

"Alright doc," replied Arsenio while nodding her head.

He followed the doctor behind him. Enter the room that says the name of the doctor.

"Please sit down sir" said the doctor, allowing Arsenio to sit in the chair in front of him.

"Thank you doc" Arsenio said as she sat in the chair.

The doctor looked at Arsenio who was sitting in front of him. Seen from the look in his eyes very seriously looking at Arsenio. Then he said,

"According to the results of the examination, your mother should be operated on immediately. If you agree, please take care of the payment for the previous treatment first so that surgery can be done afterwards."

Instantly Arsenio was wide-eyed to hear the explanation of the doctor. He just remembered if the cost of his mother's care had not been paid.

"Okay doc, I'll take care of the payment. And if it has to be done surgery, just do the doc," said Arsenio with great confidence in the doctor.

After that Arsenio went to the administration to make payments for her mother's care.

"Totally twenty-five million sir. Do you want to get paid now or half first? It just so happens that this hospital has a program to ease payments with two payments" explained the administration to Arsenio.

At once Arsenio's eyes widened to hear the amount the hospital gave her. 

"W-what? Twenty-five million?" arsenio asked as if she did not believe her hearing.

"Yes sir, right. The total cost of his treatment to this day is worth twenty-five million rupiah. For tomorrow and the next costs are still uncertain. How are you gonna pay for everything now?" obviously the administration's part to Arsenio.

Arsenio's body limp. He can't think right now. All the money he has right now is not that much. All his money has been drained to repay some of his debt in the bank.

Suddenly he remembered the savings for their son. He immediately got up from his seat and said,

"I'll be back again. Excuse me."

With his broad steps Arsenio immediately walked towards the parking lot of his car. But his steps suddenly stopped when he was about to approach his car.

"I forgot that the bankbook and the atm card were on Laura. If I ask him for sure he will be angry because it will remind him of the death of his mother," said Arsenio Lirih accompanied by a sigh.

Her hands grabbed her hair showing how frustrated she was right now. Then he said,

"Lord...What should I do?" 

He saw his car parked not far from where it was. Then he said,

"If I sold that car, Laura would be angry. If I pawn that car, my debt is growing. How'this?"

Arsenio again let out a breath that felt very heavy. He can't think anymore. His head felt full of problems that came in turn.

"Do I have to talk to Laura so she can give me that savings for Mom's hospital expenses? She must have agreed to it because Mother was her father-in-law" Arsenio said with sparkling eyes.

However, the twinkle in his eyes disappeared as he recalled the death of his mother-in-law.

"But his mother died because there was no cost for the operation at the time. Maybe he would allow it? No. There's no way he'd let it go because at that point he didn't touch the savings at all when his mother needed money for surgery," arsenio continued in her weak voice in disappointment at her circumstances.

"I have to find money to pay for it anyway. There will be a way" said Arsenio again.

Suddenly a phone ringing from Arsenio's phone. Soon he took the phone out of his pants pocket. It turned out that the doctor who handled his mother asked to meet him again.

Without thinking any longer, Arsenio immediately moved from her seat to the doctor's room. 

Now Arsenio sat back in the chair in front of the doctor. The doctor looked seriously at Arsenio and said,

"How sir, has the payment been settled? If so, I'll schedule an operation for your mother as soon as possible."

Arsenio was feeling even more depressed at this moment. He also felt wrong to make a decision. In front of the doctor, Arsenio let out a breath that felt tight in her chest. Then he said,

"I'll try tomorrow to pay for it doc. For the operation, if it is needed, please just operate as soon as possible."

"Okay sir, I'll schedule it. Tomorrow if the maintenance fee has been paid, the operation will be done at that time. I'm sorry, I can't help much, because this has become the policy of this hospital," the doctor said while looking compassionately at Arsenio.

"Thank you doc, I'll try tomorrow to pay for it. Excuse me now" said Arsenio as he moved from his seat.

Out of the doctor's room, Arsenio walked limply to her mother's room. He approached his mother and sat down on a chair by her bed.

She slowly bought her mother's hair which was almost filled with gray hair. His tears were shed remembering his wife's cry when his mother died without his knowledge.

It's all my fault. Even what happened to myself was also because of my fault. I'm a man who pays little attention to his wife and family. It is only fitting that Laura is so angry with me, Arsenio said in her heart.

Suddenly his mother's eyes slowly opened. He smiled at his son and said,

"Have you come, son? Stay here, I'm lonely."

Arsenio nodded her head in accordance with her mother's wishes. 

At that moment, he remembered his wife. Immediately retrieved his phone from his pants pocket to look back at his wife's whereabouts.

Arsenio widened when she saw her phone. Then he said in his heart,

Damnit damnit! Why does this HP not want to burn?
