Chapter 61
After seeing Lina off, | initially wanted to head straight back to school and tell Felicia about it for a laugh. But
then, | got a call from the hospital.
Jane's surgery was scheduled for this afternoon, and the doctor asked if | wanted to cby.
Of course, | had to go. She had no family around. If I didn't go, who would?
In the sterile ward, Jane was already dressed in her surgical gown and socks.
She looked weighed down and uncomfortable as she curled up on the bed. Her gaze was blank, and it seemed
like she was lost in thought.
| couldn't go inside, so | waved to her through the large glass window.
"William!" As soon as she saw me, her face lit up with a smile.

Though I couldn't hear her, | could tell she was calling my nby the shape of her lips. | made a bunch of
encouraging hand gestures, and her smile grew even brighter.
"You're the patient's family, right? Can we talk?"
Just then, the doctor walked over and calledinto the office. He went over the surgery and post-op care in
detail.
Overall, the procedure was simpler than | expected. No surgery was needed. They just had to give her a bone
marrow injection. However, whether it would succeed depended on the aftercare.
The surgical fees | paid earlier would be used up today, and aftercare was the real challenge. | understood what
he was getting at-he wantedto pay more.
Without hesitation, I said, "Give her the best treatment plan. I'll cover whatever it costs."
After we finished talking, | went ahead and paid another 20 thousand dollars.
Just as | was about to leave, | saw Joshua stepping out of the elevator. He was accompanied by a somewhat
overweight woman in her 40s, dressed flamboyantly and adorned with jewelry on her neck and wrists.
As | pondered whether she was a relative of his, | suddenly saw him lean in and kiss her, his hands roaming over
her body.
That woman immediately leaned against his shoulder, and they looked incredibly sweet together.
In that instant, | was covered in goosebumps. | was taken aback, questioning whether he was really playing the
boy toy for a rich old lady. | couldn't comprehend how Joshua had sunk to this level.
Ever since that incident, he hadn't returned to school. | didn't know if he planned to drop out completely or if he
just wanted to avoid dealing with things for a while. Taking a deep breath, | pretended not to see him and turned
back toward school. Back in the dorm, | held a simple meeting with the new staff | had just hired.
The charity mini-gwe had developed had beca problem. It only took players two or three days to finish,
and the replay value was low. The number of players had dwindled significantly lately.
If this continued, we would be losing money within two months, and the gwould have to be shut down.

The team suggested that | prepare for this eventuality.
This was our only business, and if the gshut down, the company would have
to close with it. This was my first startup, and | didn't want it to end like this.
"Then let's get started on a new gright now!" | declared.
"This one doesn't have to be a charity project. We should focus on female college students and create games
that are cute, visually appealing, easy to play, and genuinely fun. We can focus on travel games, fashion games,
and dating games."
One employee quickly interjected, "Mr. White, we don't have any developers in our company."
Another added, "Yeah, we're all just gmaintenance staff. We lack experience in gdevelopment and
need someone to guide us.
"If you want to make a change, | suggest we hire more people right away. We can't manage this with just the few
of us."
