I called my husband 199 times when our daughter was in a life-threatening car accident. On the 200th call, his secretary finally answered. “Rachel, James is with me at a fashion show. He’s too busy to take your call,” she said coyly. Panicked and stuttering, I pleaded, “Please… please tell James to transfer me some money. Lily’s been in an accident.” But all I heard was James cursing in the background: “You’re just a gold digger, always asking for money!” “You’ve really gone crazy about money, even dragging our daughter into your act.” “It’d be better if she died. You won’t get a cent from me!” I tried to explain, but the line went dead with a harsh click. To raise the money, I was humiliated like a dog by his young secretary. After our daughter died from failed emergency treatment, James finally panicked. That morning, I was accompanying my daughter to her kindergarten’s outdoor rock climbing activity. We never expected to be involved in a massive traffic accident on the way there. Lily’s injuries were severe, and she lost consciousness immediately. I rushed her to the nearest hospital in a panic, only to discover that my phone balance was insufficient to cover the medical fees. I hurriedly called my husband, begging him to transfer some life-saving money. After 199 calls, the phone was finally answered. On the other end was his secretary’s coquettish voice: “Rachel, why are you looking for James? He’s with me at a fashion show and can’t be bothered with you.” “I don’t care what he’s doing! Tell him to take the phone and send me money. It’s a matter of life and death!” I shouted in desperation. I heard James cursing in the background: “Just a gold digger, always thinking about money!” I tried to explain, but the line went dead with a harsh click. I wanted to call back, but found I had been blocked. Around me, children and adults were being rushed into emergency rooms one by one. I looked at my unconscious daughter, holding her injured leg in despair. “This child needs immediate treatment. Life is more important than money!” the doctor advised me earnestly, seeing that I was hesitating to pay the medical fees. Suddenly, Lily turned to her side and vomited. I hurried to support her. “Baby, baby, are you okay?” Lily looked at me with a weak smile. This girl had always been so understanding. James never cared about us, mother and daughter, so she always tried to be well-behaved and sensible, hoping her father would notice her more. James had always thought I was a gold digger. Although his family was wealthy, he only gave me $500 a month for living expenses. For any other expenditures, I had to write a report and go through layers of approval. I thought that if I didn’t keep any private savings and focused on taking care of everything at home, he would eventually realize he had misjudged me, and we could live happily as a family. I scrimped and saved every day to control expenses, just so my daughter could have an extra bite of meat. But I never imagined that because of this, at this critical moment when my daughter’s life was at stake, I would be so destitute that I couldn’t even pay for her medical treatment. I took out my phone and tapped on James’s profile picture on SnapChat. I sent a video call request, but it was rejected. I tried again, and it was rejected again… With no other choice, I recorded a video. Lily was lying on a hospital bed in the corridor. “Lily, call Daddy. Ask Daddy for some money to save your life.” I stared at Lily expectantly, my voice choked with tears. Surely James would help save Lily if he saw this video. After all, Lily was his own flesh and blood. Lily obediently opened her mouth with difficulty: “Daddy, I… it hurts… save… me…” After saying these few words, she fell unconscious again. I sent the video to him, and he replied with two voice messages. “You’ve really gone crazy about money, even dragging our daughter into your act.” “It’d be better if she died. You won’t get a cent from me!” When I tried to send another message, I only received a red exclamation mark. It stung my heart, and my eyes welled up with tears. He had blocked me.
