I don't deserve your love

My story

  At the beginning there was really nothing to worry about, Kate still had her family (her mum, her dad and her kid brother,Eric) to look up to. She was a 19year old girl, not knowing that she was at the penultimate period of her normal and happy life where there was almost nothing to worry about. Although they were really poor, they were happy and contented with what they had. Her father is a hard working man, he works as a labourer in a mining industry. Although his earnings are nothing compared to what he goes through in the mining business nor is it enough for their needs but they don't have a choice, Kate had grown used to him leaving early in the morning everyday and coming back home late at night so tired like a knocked out engine, at times bathed in his own sweat because he would prefer to walk home to save money.
  One night, Mitchell (Kate's father) came back home looking really pale and sick. It's so obvious even Kate could notice it, his eyes were reddish white forming a pattern like nerves all over his cornea. This was serious, "what happened dear" Jane said (Kate's mother), shocked at his appearance. "it's nothing dear I'm just tired" he said sluggishly like he was trying to prevent himself from coughing. "no, we are going to the hospital now, you look really bad" jane ordered, grabbing him by the hand. He hesitated but he was too weak to even remove himself from Jane's firm grip. Somehow, Kate and her mother managed to convince him, so they left leaving Kate and sleeping Eric.

   At the hospital... After the doctor had finished examining him.

"doctor, how is he" Jane asked anxiously. "madam please come with me to my office" the doctor said. When they got to the office Jane said again "doctor tell me what is going on, you are making me scared"  "Madam please sit" the doctor said calmly. Jane sat down hurriedly. Then he cleared his throat and began. "well after several test we carried out ahh... We discovered a....."  "a what" Jane said interrupting him. "well, we discovered a late staged tumor in his heart, which were as a result of over exposure to toxic and deadly gases" he said. "no no nooo" Jane cried out, falling slowly to the ground. "madam please you have to be strong for your husband" the doctor said helping her up back to her sit. "so what do we do now doctor" she asked after wiping the line of tears that had dropped down her face. "well, we need a sum of 3 million dollars for a heart transplant" the doctor said gently "what... 3 million?" Jane said this time crying really hard. "I'm really sorry madam" the doctor said finally.

  At home...after Jane had arrived from the hospital.

"mum how was it" Kate asked anxiously. "how is daddy" she asked again now feeling worried. "well your father is fine" Jane said trying not to cry, "but why is he not with you" Kate asked "don't worry dear just go to sleep, your father will be back tomorrow" Jane replied. Kate was not totally convinced, but she went to bed anyway hoping to get an explanation the next day.
  Kate woke up the next day, hearing someone sobbing, it was obviously not Eric because he was still sleeping innocently beside her. She sat up and listened closely, it sounded like her mother, she then stood up and walked to where her mother was. "mother..? " she said with a worried look on her face. When Jane heard her daughter coming, she quickly cleaned her face, hoping that Kate had not heard her crying. "mother, there is no need to pretend, ever since you came back yesterday, you have been sad...what's going on" she asked. "Kate, your father is in a very bad shape right now, the doctor said that he has a tumor in his heart...and he.. He needs 3 million dollars for a heart transplant" Jane said crying profusely, realising that there was no need lying to her daughter,although she didn't want Kate to worry but she was going to find out sooner or later. "no..daddy..noooo.....not my daddy" Kate cried out loudly. "mum how did this happen.."Kate asked still crying. "the doctor said it was because he had exposed him self to deadly gases for too long in that useless mining business" Jane said crying, "and you know I was the one that suggested that he worked there...if only I knew it had such deadly consequences..."  Jane said feeling regretful. "Kate if your father dies, I will not forgive myself...i won't"  Jane added still crying. "mum don't blame yourself okay, blaming yourself will not help now, we have to be strong and find a way to save dad" Kate said trying to be brave. "yes you are right dear...but 3 million dollars is not a small money you know...where can people like us find that amount of money" her mother said feeling even more sad and hopeless. "mum we must try our best...okay" Kate said trying to convince her mother.
  Jane worked really hard in her shop, she owned a shop, where she sell few food items. Later she realised that there was no way she was going to meet up with such an amount with her little earnings from the shop, so she sold the shop out of frustration, the doctor had told her to be quick because according to him her husband had only few days left if the transplant was not carried out.

Guys don't be annoyed, I am going to update this story soon.
