"My husband's condition got very serious yesterday, and he's still in surgery sue eventually said. Lulu frowned-it had been an entire night, but the surgery was still not over? "How much does the surgery cost?" she asked.
"Two hundred thousand..."
There was no way Sue's family could afford it, and the surgical cost would make their already desperate circumstances worse!
"Mrs. Lambert, please cto Mr. ė Slate's house for now-just ask your son to hold the fort for the moment," Lulu said with a calmness almost unbecoming of her age. S "Oh... uh..." Sue was hesitant, unsure of what Lulu was planning.
