It's two o'clock in the morning in the flower art studio, and the air is filled with the clear and slightly bitter smell of the rose juice after the branches and leaves have been cut.
Lin Chuxia rubbed her sore eyes and carefully inserted the last "Corolla" into the flower mud.
The cold touch of the flower mud spread along her fingertips, sobering up her chaotic brain.
Very good, the urgent order for tomorrow's wedding has been completed.
Once this bill is settled, next month's rent and studio water and electricity will be paid.
She leaned tiredly on the edge of the workbench and took out the old mobile phone with the screen broken into spider webs.
The moment it was unlocked and the screen turned on, a text message reminder from the bank popped up.
It's not an entry into the account, it's a reminder.
[Dear Ms. Lin, your mother's treatment in the ICU of the Second People's Hospital is in arrears. Please pay the NT$300,000 deposit for the kidney transplant surgery within three days, otherwise subsequent treatment will be affected.
Three hundred thousand.
