Ero Meter

Looking at his phone Jack saw another $60k added to his bank, ten grand from the first heart and Fifty grand from the second one of Siphie's heart.

He now had $126k in his bank. Which was already a relief, now if he makes a $120k downpayment then he would only have to take a debt of $30k.

Jack's father overheard them and came near him.

"Hey Jack what are you doing? Where will you get so much money from? Let me handle this situation, I have already called some of my friends and they are ready to lend us money." His dad said.

"Dad, don't worry, I already have One hundred and twenty thousand, I only need to sign for thirty thousand dollars."

His dad's brow raised in confusion and concern, "How did you get so much money from?"

Even Sophie, who was hugging him, moved away from his embrace and looked at Jack with concern. A hundred and twenty grand was not a small amount of money.

"Jack, you really don't have to do this," Sophie said.

Jack looked at her and then at his father. "Dad, don't worry I made this money from the stock market, I was just lucky. And money is not the real concern now, we have to hurry and start her operation." He lied.

Jack turned his head and looked at the blue-shirt guy. "Hey, I am ready to sign a debt for thirty thousand, the rest I will pay with a cheque."

"No need to sign a debt, I have the rest thirty thousand dollars." Jack's dad intervened.

Jack looked at him and nodded, it was even better if he did not have to sign a debt, so even if his cheat somehow fails in the future he would not be in debt at least.

Sophie looked at both of them and tears welled up in her eyes. "Thank you so much, I will never forget this favor."

"Don't stress and focus on your studies. You are the only support for your mother. And if you need anything just tell us in the future." Jack's dad said.

Sophie nodded at his words, she wanted her mother to get out of this situation.

"Sir, if you please sign the cheque, then we can start the operation." The blue shirt staff added in between.

Jack nodded and looked at his dad, both of them went to a separate room with him, and only after fifteen minutes did Jack and his dad come.

"Dear, where did you go?" It was Jack's mother.

"Mom, we deposited the fee for Meadow's surgery, it will start soon," Jack replied.

His mother's brows raised listening to Jack, "Where did you get the money from?"

"Honey let me Explain." Jack's father took her mother away and started explaining the situation.

If not for his cheat, then it would have been very difficult to arrange money for Meadow's operation.

Jack moved in front of the room, that Meadow was admitted to, and inside he could see that she was laying on a bed unconscious, with various machines attached to her body.

Besides her on the table sat, Cassie's mom and Cassie.

"Hope she gets fine soon." Sophie came and stood near Jack, looking at her mother through the window.

Suddenly Jack's vision turned black and white.

[1. Don't worry I won't let anything happen to her. (+10 Ero Points.)

2. Yes, I hope so. (+0 Ero points.)]

Choosing the first option Jack looked at Sophie and held her hand.

"Don't worry, Sophie I won't let anything happen to her."

Sophie turned her head up and looked into his determined eyes, her heartbeat suddenly started beating faster.

'I feel so much safer with him.' She thought and nodded. "Thank you, Jack, if not for you, I don't know how I would have managed to help my mother."

Jack looked over her head, she had two of her five hearts filled, and her Sex meter showed. (60/100)

From the time her dad left them alone, her life has not been an easy one, first Meadow got her knee dislocated which pushed them into debt, and now this.

She always felt uncertain about her and her mother's future.

However, standing beside Jack and talking to him, for the first time in a while she felt safe like she could drop her worries a bit.

"Move Away Please!" Suddenly a rushed feminine voice came and both Jack and Sophie moved aside from the gate.

It was some nurses with a stretcher, they came inside the room and took Meadow away placing her on the stretcher.

"Mom..."

Sophie sobbed as she saw her mom taken away to the operating theater.

Jack felt her grip tightening around his hand, he could tell that she was worried about her mother.

[1. Don't worry she will be alright. (+5 Ero points).

2. Say nothing. (+0 Ero Points.)

3. Place your hand on her shoulder. (+20 Ero points.)]

Another panel flashed in front of Jack and without any thought he choose the third option.

Moving his hand he placed it over her shoulder and moved her a bit close to him.

He also wanted to test something from this option and do two options at the same time.

"Don't worry she will be alright." He said to comfort her.

Sophie felt his warmth and her aching heart cooled down a bit. Her tears stopped flowing and she nodded at Jack.

"Thanks." She said.

Jack looked at her sex meter and was disappointed to see that he only got the points for the higher option.

(80/100)

"I think you should sit down." Jack moved her and made her sit down on a chair.

Five hours later...

The doctor came out of the OT and meet with Jack's father, after some talk, his father smiled and shook hands with the doctor while saying thank you.

By just this everyone guessed that the surgery was successful and Meadow's life was now safe.

Sophie stood up from her chair and started moving toward the OT however a staff stopped her.

"You can only meet the patient, tomorrow evening." The blue shirt ward boy said like he has said it thousands of times before.

Sophie hung her neck low and returned to Jack.

"Don't worry, she is safe now, we can meet her tomorrow," Jack said.

"Thanks, Jack, if not for you... I don't know how I will repay your kindness." Tears bulged in her eyes.

"Don't say stupid things and cheer up, it's not time to be sad, otherwise if Meadow saw your condition she would be sad too. Now smile."

Sophie looked at him and smiled at his words. She wanted to thank him again, however, Jack's father came near them.

"Sophie, do you have any ID of your mother on you?"

He asked.

"No, why?"

"Actually an ID is mandatory in this hospital, although they have finished the treatment, they will not give a leave without an ID."

Sophie nodded in understanding.

"I left them at home, in a hurry." She said.

Jack's father then looked at Jack, "Son, you should take her home and get Meadow's ID."

"Sure." Jack nodded.

Cassie and her mother also came near them, at the time.

"What is happening Teddy?" It was Cassie's mom that asked.

Jack's father's name was Edward however everyone called him Teddy.

"It's nothing, Pearl, the hospital just needs an ID of Meadow. I was telling Jack to go and get it with Sophie, so we don't have trouble later."

Cassie's mother's name was Pearl.

Jack looked at Pearl, she has a mature charm to her and looked exactly like her daughter, even though she was in her thirties, she looked very elegant and well-maintained.

Pearl then looked at Jack and smile. "Jack, I heard that you were the one that helped Meadow, I am glad and proud of you."

Cassie on the other hand looked at Jack with a bit of Jealousy, both of them were of the same age, however, on one hand, Jack helped Meadow with such a big sum of money and she didn't even have money for beer.

However, more than jealous she was glad that Jack helped Meadow.

"Jack let's not slack, who knows when we will need her documents, it's better late than sorry."

Teddy then looked at Sophie, "Sophie do you know where your mother keeps her documents?"

"Yes," Sophie nodded.

"Then, you and Jack should leave and come back as soon as possible."

"Ok."

Both Jack and Sophie nodded and started to move.

However, before they could move toward the elevator, Cassie's voice came from behind.

"Hey wait, can I come with you guys too? I brought Pearl's car keys." She asked.

And as soon as she did so, time stopped in front of Jack.

[1. Cassie, I think you should stay here and help. (+10 Ero Points.)Updated from nov𝒆lbIn.(c)om

2. Ok you can come. (+0 Ero points.)]

Jack looked at the options and without any second thoughts choose the first one.

"Cassie, I think you should stay here and help." He said.

Sophie who was about to tell her to come, stopped her words in her mouth listening to Jack.

Somehow the idea of going alone with Jack suddenly dawned on her and her heartbeat raised just thinking about sitting with him on the bike.
