The world begins with shameless people

Ellabar Bar.

"Frank, you're such a joke."

"Frank, we hate you, you know that."

"Frank, you really are a dreamer."

"..."

The drunkards laughed loudly and mocked Frank mercilessly, and they were so happy.

Looking at this scene and listening to these words, Frank was so angry that not only did his face turn black, but he couldn't stop gritting his teeth.

Samantha, who was holding a wheelchair, was not in much better condition, with a clear look of ferocity on her face.

next second.

Frank yelled, "F**k you all! You bastards..."

Seeing Frank starting to curse, the female version of Frank, Comrade Samantha, immediately opened her mouth and joined Frank in cursing.

In the blink of an eye, Frank and his daughter kept moving their mouths, and all kinds of dirty words came out without stopping.

When it comes to scolding, the drunkards are no match for Frank. What's more, they are facing almost two Franks, so they are soon stunned by the scolding.

Thirty seconds, one minute, one and a half minutes...

Frank, who had cursed at the drunkards, finally stopped talking after seeing their reactions. He smiled triumphantly, as if he had won a battle, and said, "Fuck you!"

After another curse, Frank called to Samantha, "Samantha, let's go."

"You will all die miserably!" Samantha cursed fiercely, and then, without further ado, pushed Frank out.

Exited the Alaibo Bar.

"Daddy, where are we going?" Samantha asked.

Frank stopped laughing. He couldn't laugh anymore.

Those drunkards I met rejected me so thoroughly...

Where can I get a liver next?
Frank couldn't think of anything else, and then realized that he was probably really going to die...

Facing his impending death, Frank's mood suddenly fell to the bottom. He thought silently for a while and said, "Push me to the hospital. Let's go ask the doctor."

Samantha noticed Frank's depression and said without further ado, "Okay."

It is a hot summer day and the sun is shining brightly in the sky.

Samantha pushed Frank and slowly walked towards the hospital.

hospital.

Frank grabbed the sleeve of a doctor who looked a little familiar, "Doctor..."

Blah blah blah, Frank explained his demands, saying that he had the money and asked if the hospital could help solve his liver problem.

The doctor, who was a little anxious at first, suddenly calmed down after hearing this and smiled at Frank.

the fact is.

The hospital's transplant office can immediately transfer a liver suitable for the patient from other places... However, there are two prerequisites for doing so. First, the patient has no bad habits and is unlikely to waste a new liver. Second, the situation is extremely critical...

Among them, the first premise is the most important premise. If the patient cannot meet this requirement, the transplant committee will not agree to give the liver to the patient...
the reason is simple.

Because there is no point in giving it. After the patient has the transplant operation, it won’t take long before the new liver is damaged again. Wouldn’t it be a waste of time?

Obviously, the scumbag Frank is completely unable to meet this premise.

The doctor looked at Frank, and inexplicably wanted to explain something to Frank, so he opened his mouth and began to talk.

Done.

The doctor added, "Frank, when you are about to die, come back again. Maybe a miracle will happen and you can get a new liver."

"But remember, you have to come when you are about to die. It will be useless if you come too early."

After hearing this, Frank was speechless for a moment.

Samantha asked worriedly, "Isn't that too dangerous? What if someone dies on the way here..."

The doctor smiled and shrugged slightly, "This is the risk you have to take."

After saying that, the doctor looked at Frank again and said, "Frank, let go. I have to go to work."

Frank let go of his hand in a daze. The doctor smiled, shook his head, and walked away.

"Daddy?" Samantha looked at Frank and felt that Frank was in very bad condition, so she asked worriedly.

Frank heard it, came back to his senses, blinked his eyes, and suddenly, he felt that he saw hope. With shining eyes, he said to Samantha, "According to the law, if a dying patient comes to the hospital, the hospital must immediately treat the patient, regardless of whether the patient can pay or not..."

Samantha realized that Frank was clearly perking up again and didn't quite understand. "So?"

Frank grinned slyly, "Push me out and talk as we go."

Samantha did as she was told.

"So, let's find a hospital where I haven't defaulted on my payment and where the doctors don't know me. Then, when I'm about to die, you go find Ding Xiu as quickly as possible to get the money and then send me to that hospital..."

"Wow, I got a new liver, and I can also get the money that Ding Xiu borrowed!"

"Haha, this way, when I get better, I'll be a rich man!"

Frank became more and more excited as he spoke, and the smile on his face grew wider.

Samantha was also excited after hearing this and said with a smile, "Daddy, you are so smart! So, is there any hospital you have never defaulted on?"

Frank simply shook his head. "I don't know. You have to ask them one by one. There must be one."

“…” Samantha was stunned, but she still did as she was told.

soon.

Under the scorching sun, Frank and his daughter embarked on a journey to major hospitals.

*******************
Without Frank and Samantha, the Gallagher family seemed to have dissipated a little.

Ian left early and went to the grocery store, where he and Kathy continued their efforts to elope.

At this time of noon, Debbie and Lip were the only ones left in the dilapidated house.

Debbie sat on the sofa in the living room, watching TV with Liam.

Lip sat at the dining table in the restaurant, staring intently at the information on the computer.

Lip is researching various universities to determine which one is right for him.

This kind of thing... would never have happened before.

But, thanks to Ding Xiu, this kind of thing actually happened.

At this time.

Fiona, who hadn't been here all day yesterday, pushed open the back door and walked in with mixed feelings.

Lip heard the noise, turned his head to look at Fiona, and said nothing.

So does Fiona.

Their eyes met for a few seconds. Fiona, who had never been strong-willed, managed a smile and asked, "What are you doing?"

Lip took the cigarette from the table and lit one. "I'm looking at information about various universities."

When Fiona heard this, she was immediately delighted, and the smile on her face became much more genuine, even a little excited, "Really? Have you made up your mind?"

Lip nodded, "Well, I have to go to college, find a good job after graduation, and live my life well."

After a pause, Lip added, "I can't stay here. I have to think about myself."

Hearing this, the smile on Fiona's face suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, her mood suddenly became extremely complicated.

the reason is simple.

Lip's words... basically meant that she was giving up on this family, and she came here this time to say that she and Jimmy were moving to Michigan...

Before coming, Fiona thought that it would only be one year, and during this year, Lip, who was only one year away from adulthood, could take care of the family...

Now, that's how things have changed.

Fiona was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Lip was smart enough to notice that something was wrong with Fiona. However, he thought that Fiona had a problem with what he said. "What's wrong? If you have anything to say, just say it. I have the right to think for myself."

The tone is not very good, especially the last sentence.

When Fiona heard this, her eyes widened, then she suddenly smiled and her mood improved a little.

Yes, Lip has the right to be selfish…

Fiona felt that she had it too, so she smiled and said, "I support you, I have nothing to say."

After replying, Fiona spoke again, "I came here to tell you something. Is Debbie home?"

Debbie was in the living room, already listening with her ears perked up.

When Debbie heard her name, she was too embarrassed to take the initiative to see Fiona because of the argument with Fiona yesterday. She was immediately nervous and thought Fiona was going to scold her...

"Debbie," Lip called out at this moment, "come here."

Debbie heard this and hesitated for a long time. Thinking of what Dr. Miller said yesterday, she took a deep breath, plucked up her courage, stood up and walked to the restaurant to face Fiona.

Seeing Fiona, Debbie subconsciously lowered her head in guilt, not daring to look at Fiona.

Fiona noticed, smirked, and asked Lip again, "Anyone else?"

"Ian and Carl are not here," Lip replied.

Fiona expected it, but didn't care, "Then tell you two, too."

"What happened is that Jimmy decided to go to Michigan Medical School for another year, get his degree, and then go back to Chicago to become a doctor."

"He invited me to go with him, and I thought about it for a long time and decided to go."

"After all, I have the right to think for myself."

Hear this.

Lip felt annoyed instantly, "!!!"

Debbie was shocked, and she raised her head suddenly, looking at Fiona, dumbfounded, "???"

next second.

Out of pure instinct, Debbie was anxious and asked in disbelief, "You're going to Michigan for a year? What should we do then?"

"Fiona, is it because of what happened yesterday morning? I was wrong yesterday morning. I apologize. I'm sorry."

Fiona pulled a cigarette out of her pocket, lit it, took a long drag, and replied, "When I was sixteen, Monica ran away, and Frank... was Frank."

"From that year on, I was responsible for taking care of this family."

"I'm 22 years old this year. It's been six years, which is not a short time."

Fiona then looked at Lip and said, "Lip, you are seventeen years old, and Ian is sixteen."

"I trust you two to take care of Debbie, Carl, and Liam."

"Speaking of Liam, I can take Liam to Michigan, of course, if you are willing."

"If you don't want to, I have no objection."

Fiona said this in one breath while smoking.

that's it.

The dark clouds hanging over the Gallagher family had just dissipated a little not long ago, but at this moment, they immediately gathered again and even became thicker.

For a moment, Lip and Debbie were speechless.

There was no other sound in the restaurant except for the obvious rapid breathing.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Lip smoked fiercely, staring at Fiona without blinking, trying to judge whether Fiona was just acting on impulse or had really made up her mind.

The answer is unfortunately.

Lip believed that Fiona was really determined this time.

So, beg Fiona to stay?
impossible.

On the one hand, Fiona has devoted so many years, and Lip has seen it, and he really thinks that Fiona should consider herself.

On the other hand, although Lip was severely frightened by Ding Xiu yesterday, his pride was still there and he would never beg for mercy.

"Okay, I think that's a good idea. I wish you and Jimmy all the best in Michigan," Lip took another long drag on his cigarette and spoke again, "As for Liam, he has to stay. We can take good care of him."

In fact, it is not realistic for Lip and others to take care of Liam.

After all, it’s almost September and Lip and the others will be going to school, so how will they take care of Liam?
After hearing what Lip said, even though she knew she shouldn't do this, she couldn't control herself. Debbie's head was shaken, and she looked at Lip with her eyes wide open. She couldn't believe her ears, "Lip!!"

Lip took out another cigarette from the cigarette box, lit it, looked at Debbie, and said in an extremely calm tone, "Debbie, it's okay. I'm seventeen years old. I can take care of you."

"Even if I can't do it alone, there's Ian."

Debbie didn't want this, her eyes quickly turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.

But the effect of yesterday's psychological therapy was still there, so Debbie clenched her teeth and said nothing.

Seeing this, especially hearing what Lip said...

Fiona was heartbroken and hesitated for two seconds, but in the end she didn't ask Lip how to take care of Liam.

Immediately, Fiona glanced at Debbie who was already crying, sighed silently, and then spoke to Lip, "Well, I believe you can do it, then I'm leaving."

After saying this, Fiona turned and left.

Lip didn't stop him.

Debbie looked at Fiona's back and cried bitterly.

*****************
Gallagher's house, in the dining room.

Lip smoked one cigarette after another in silence, then lit another one before he spoke to Debbie.

"Debbie, don't cry. This day will come sooner or later. You'll get used to it," Lip comforted her softly, "We are Gallagher. Nothing can bring us down."

Debbie cried silently without saying a word.

Lip had no choice but to continue to comfort as much as possible.

A long time passed.

Debbie stopped crying, not because of Lip's comfort, but just like yesterday, she was crying and suddenly figured it out.

What can't be given up?
Gave up Frank yesterday.

Today, since Fiona is so heartless, I will give up on Fiona too.

No big deal.

Debbie raised her hand and wiped away her tears. She thought of what Dr. Miller said about foster families, and then took a deep breath.

"Lip, I just hope I don't end up in a foster home."

"Can you guarantee this?" (End of this chapter)
