I Breathe Euro

Jack wanted to help, but he doesn\'t understand the Filipino language; even if he did, he would need to purchase a Skill card from the system to comprehend the doctor\'s handwriting.

As Katrina saw Jack, she ran towards him. Jack thought she wanted to hug him, so he opened his arms wide, but Katrina didn\'t hug him; instead, she bowed down and apologized for being absent from work.

Jack waved his hand, too embarrassed to admit his previous anger towards her. Then, taking her hand, he sat down at the chairs nearby. Katrina felt safe around Jack, which caused her to calm down significantly.

"My father had a heart attack this morning after I went home and saw my mother crying; she was not able to take him into the hospital, and we don\'t have any neighbors around, or there are neighbors, but they\'ll be happy if my father dies," Katrina said while wiping her tears.

"Oh, why is that?" Jack asked.

"Because they are my uncles, and if my father dies, they\'ll just take my grandfather\'s house," Katrina said. She looked devastated.

" Ah! That\'s why, Where is your mother?" Jack asked, then pushed Katrina\'s head into his shoulder.

Because Jack was significantly taller than Katrina, he adjusted his position by sitting slightly ahead, allowing him to lean back while Katrina could rest on his shoulder.

As they were sitting, the chauffeur came back hurriedly and gave Katrina the medicine pouch.

He looked exhausted and was taking deep breaths, and he said, "Go, give this medicine to your father\'s doctor immediately. He\'s in the operating room."

"My father is in the operation room." Katrina spoke in a shocked tone before abruptly standing up.

"Isn\'t he?" The old chauffeur taken a back.

"Last I saw he was in ICU," Katrina said, perplexed why the old chauffeur would say such a thing.

" Oh! I saw you running around Operation Theatre, so I assumed He was in there.

Jack almost palmed himself; these two were really idiots. Jack stood up and asked, "How is he now?"

A doctor came in right that time; the doctor was a man in his early fifties or late forties.

"He is fine; the medication is working, but we still need to perform open heart surgery," the doctor said, casting a slightly surprised glance at Jack.

"Open heart surgery?" Katrina looked devastated, as if someone had pulled the earth beneath her.

Jack tapped on her shoulders to calm her down before the doctor left, saying, \'For specifics, ask the nurse in the reception; they have your file.\'

The old chauffeur appeared unsurprised; his friend had been ill for an extended period, and with a paralyzed body, he was on the verge of death.

It took 20 minutes to calm Katrina, and the old chauffeur left after some time, as he was also a busy man; he has grandchildren to look after. Jack could have stopped the old chauffeur with the car, but he chose not to do so.

After Katrina calmed down, Jack went to the receptionist with her and asked about the cost and procedures.

The total cost will be 700,000 pesos. Jack thought \'cheap;\' on the other hand, Katrina was shocked to hear such an amount.

"It\'s too late now; doctors are not in and patients are sleeping; you have to come tomorrow and confirm the operation with half the money in advance," the nurse explained clearly.

Jack and Katrina went downstairs, and Katrina called a taxi. It\'s been a while since Jack has rode a taxi.

Entering the taxi, Jack felt nostalgic and forgot about returning to the hotel; Katrina was taking him to her home.

After half a journey was done, Jack remembered he had to go to the hotel.

" Kat, Call me a taxi too; I\'ll head back to the hotel," Jack said; he didn\'t want to go with Katrina to her house.

"No, what are you saying? We can\'t abandon a guest," Katrina said, her face showing a little anger.

"No, don\'t worry about me." Jack wanted to say more, but Katrina started to look more and more angry.

" Why? Do you not trust me?"

"You look down on me?"

"Alright, driver, drop him here."

"No, I didn\'t mean it like that. Alright, I\'ll go with you." Jack sighed.

After that, Katrina turned her back on Jack and smiled triumphantly.

The taxi went down a very dark alleyway and stopped in the middle of nowhere. Jack was a little shocked and was ready to face anything. He even instinctively pulled back Katrina.

Katrina, who was about to go out was bewildered. Why was he pulling her in when she had already reached her destination?

"Is it a robbery?" Jack whispered at Katrina.

??

Katrina looked at Jack, who was looking around the alleyway with caution, and looked at Driver from time to time.

She finally understood that Jack had mistaken this place for an abandoned one and was suspecting the driver of a robbery.

Katrina laughed so hard at this comical scene that even the driver got scared.

Initially, the driver maintained his composure, but when he realized it was dark and the passengers were not coming down, he became a little scared. Upon hearing Katrina\'s laughter, his body shook, and he quickly exited the cab.

Jack, seeing the driver running, was sure that this was a robbery. He also opened the door and looked around, only to see the taxi driver looking at Jack and running even faster.

"Hey, Hey!" Jack ran after him for some time before returning to the taxi cab.

"He fled, the taxi driver," Jack, poking his head inside the window of the taxi, said to Katrina.

" Wha!!! Why? " Katrina looked back at the running taxi driver, poking out her head in shock.

"How would I know? You started laughing, and the taxi driver ran for his life." Jack shrugged, then looked around the area.
