"Do you know what you're saying?" Nicholas was obviously a little mad.Shona knew that she had gone a little too far. Nicholas still cared quite a lot about his mother. "Alright, alright. I'm only saying. I was the one paying for all the medical bills in the past. I even went to take care of her for some time. I also hired a care worker. Don't worry. I'm busy with Luke's matters lately. After everything is set for Luke and Jessica, I'll go to the hospital every day to take care of Mom."After hearing those words, Nicholas's face softened. "You should treat Laura better in the future."Shona couldn't help but pout her lips. "I know, I know. When have I not treated her well..."On the morning of the next day. Laura headed off to work on her electric scooter with Chris sitting in the back seat."Good morning, Miss Walker." Shannon waved at Laura and greeted her with a big smile on her face."Morning." Laura also greeted Shannon."Miss Walker, I've bought breakfast, would you like s
Nicholas clenched his fists.Shona actually began sobbing. "It's all our fault. We're just useless. We don't even have enough money for our mother's treatment..."Nicholas patted Shona's shoulder.The attending doctor sighed once again. He turned around and walked towards the leader of the medical team. "Sorry for all this trouble, Dr. Shaw.""It's alright." Dr. Shaw wasn't really bothered.The medical team was allocated by Chris, so they would need to inform him of what just happened.Just when Dr. Shaw took out his phone and was about to leave. At that moment, a woman's voice suddenly sounded. "Wait..."Laura was full of sweat.There were too many people waiting for the elevator, the waiting time was too long. Therefore, Laura took the stairs."Wait, please don't leave. We agree with the treatment. I'll pay for the medical fees." Laura's eyes were a little red. Her chest heaved up and down."Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be at work?" Shona's face changed when she
To Laura, this was a sudden surprise."Okay, they can observe. Thank you, doctor."The attending doctor breathed a sigh of relief as well and a smile appeared on his face. He looked at Laura and said, "Miss Walker, you should go prepare the operation fees so we can proceed with the operation as soon as possible.""Okay." Laura quickly nodded. She then walked towards Nicholas, who had been quiet all this time."Dad, where's the 5,000 dollars I transferred to you yesterday? Let's use it to pay for the operation fees."Laura looked at Nicholas straight in the eyes.Shona began feeling unhappy. She had just received the money and had to spend it on an old lady for her treatment."Okay, I'll go make the payment now." Nicholas finally nodded."You..." Shona wanted to say something, but Nicholas had already turned around. She quickly picked up her bag and chased after him.Seeing their receding figures, Laura wanted to find Dr. Shaw, but realized that he had already led his team into
Shona snorted at Laura's words.Nicholas nodded. "I will."Laura lowered her head to hide the look in her eyes.What Nicholas did today made her feel disappointed.It wasn't hard for the Walker family to take out 100 thousand dollars. Nicholas had made quite a lot of money after all these years of doing business outside.It didn't matter if Shona didn't want to spend money on Linda, but Laura couldn't believe that her father didn't want to spend money as well.Laura took a deep breath. She walked to the side of the road to take a taxi back to the convenience store."Miss Walker, you're back!" Seeing Laura return, Shannon's eyes lit up. "Miss Walker, the Jacobs Group bought a lot of bottled water from us today.""Really?"Laura felt that Chris came to take care of her business again.She remembered that she told him last time it wasn't necessary to take care of her business. If his colleagues found out, it would cause him to leave a bad impression.With that thought in mind,
Nicholas sized Chris up and down and then nodded at Chris. Chris responded politely as well.Shona had already told Nicholas that this son-in-law of his had a job at the Jacobs Group. However, Chris was only a security guard. Even though Chris was handsome and had a tall figure, Nicholas still didn't really have a good impression.Everything became quiet outside the operating room. Laura sat on a bench and waited patiently.She looked calm, but the palm of her hand was actually sweating. She was also very nervous."Don't worry. Grandma will definitely be alright." Chris sensed Laura's nervousness and tried to comfort her.Laura nodded at Chris.'He's right. Grandma's going to be okay! Grandma will still accompany me for a long long time!' she exclaimed inwardly.At that moment, a phone rang. Laura looked in the direction of the sound. Shona opened her bag and took out a phone."Hello? Today at noon? Okay, no problem. I'll head over right now then."No one else knew what was sa
Laura didn't respond. Instead, she turned and looked at Chris. She needed to ask for his opinion."I'm free all day. We can go if you want to," said Chris.Laura nodded.Linda was transferred to the ward. She had just gone through an operation and was very weak. Laura didn't stay for too long. She left quite early so that Linda could rest.Nicholas and Shona took a taxi to the hospital, but Laura and Chris drove to the hospital.Since they were going to the Walker family's house, Nicholas sat in the back seat.He looked around at the accessories in the car. After seeing that the car was just a normal car, he retracted his gaze. He didn't say anything all the way home.After arriving at the Walker family's house, Laura and Chris followed Nicholas up the stairs.As soon as the door was opened, the three of them could hear Shona laughing."Jessica, I'm not sure if the dishes I've cooked match your taste. You can tell me what you want to eat."A young man was sitting on the sofa
"I..."Nicholas already knew the answer after seeing Luke's attitude."Your grandmother has been hospitalized for so long and you haven't been to visit her?"Nicholas would often be on business trips. He might not be at home, but he would still tell Shona to go to the hospital often to take care of Linda. He had also told Luke to go visit Linda when he had time as well.What he didn't expect was that Luke had never even been to visit Linda even once."Alright, that's enough. Who said Luke had never gone to visit his grandmother? Luke's busy most of the time as well, but he still asked me to make some food for his grandmother." Shona saw that her son was being scolded, and she quickly stepped forward to change the subject. She then glared at Laura. "Let's not get into an argument. It's time to eat. Jessica's still here, let's not affect our happy mood."Luke pursed his lips but didn't say anything. He then gave Laura an unhappy glare but locked gazes with a pair of cold eyes.Jus
Shona had always had a grudge against Jessica because she asked for 40 thousand dollars as bride price. However, there was nothing she could do because her son was in love with Jessica. In the past, she had no choice but to give 40 thousand dollars as the bride price, but she didn't expect Jessica to become pregnant.She felt that it was a gift from heaven!Luke took a towel from the side and wiped his hands. He felt that Shona had a point.He didn't want to give 40 thousand dollars as bride price either, but he really liked Jessica. At first, he felt that if Jessica wanted this much, then he would give her this much. However, things were different now...Luke nodded. "Okay. Let's wait until Jessica gives birth."A smile appeared on Shona's face.She knew that she wouldn't get anything from Laura's marriage and also felt that as a security guard, Chris wouldn't be able to give her much either. She would also have to prepare Laura's dowry as well if Chris gave her a bride price.
