Zoey watched her leave with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth.She could not help but sigh in her heart about the great relationship between Dr. Craw and their boss...Luca went to the underground parking lot, and sure enough, Warren was already sitting in the car. The car was running. She opened the door, and the heater inside was on."Warren, send me to the hospital," she said."I know, Ms. Luca. The boss told me." Warren started the car and hurried to the hospital.After the car left the parking lot, Luca remembered that she had left without a word, so she took out her phone and texted Zoey to ask her to take a one-day leave on her behalf.After that, she assigned Rhett some work.After the two replied to her, she put the phone back in her pocket and sighed as she looked at the receding scenery from the car window.When it involved Nina, she would certainly leave her job and help her deal with the matter.After all, Nina's suffering has something to do with what she
Seeing her reluctance, the man did not say anything. After all, he could not force others to do something.The ward was a little stuffy, so Luca stood up again and said, "I'm going to get a cup of coffee. Nina, do you want a drink?""Okay." Nina nodded. Her gaze was still on Jean, who was on the hospital bed.Luca left the ward, went to the restaurant to buy two cups of Americano, and was about to walk upstairs when she was stopped by someone. "Dr. Craw, why are you at the hospital?"She turned around and found that it was Dr. Wood who had called out to her."Dr. Wood, good morning," Luca said with a smile."Morning. Are you not feeling well?" Dr. Wood also held a cup of coffee, and he walked to her side."No, it's my friend who’s in trouble," Luca said. She thought of Tyrone and took advantage of the situation to check in about his situation. "By the way, Dr. Wood, how’s Tyrone doing?""After your dry needling treatment as well as physical therapy, his condition has improved a
"He borrowed money from loan sharks and couldn't pay it back, so he got beaten up. What does it have to do with me?" Nina frowned. She thought that Anna was being ridiculous. Her bias toward Jean was driving Nina into a corner."If you had given him money, he wouldn’t have to borrow money from loan sharks. You made him do this. My poor boy… If something happens to him, I'll leave this world too." Anna hugged Jean. Her heart ached when she saw her son hurt. She was prepared to give up on her life.The patient on the bed beside them noticed the commotion and walked out of the ward in silence.After all, Anna's cry was irritating.Nina sneered and said, "You’re my mother. I need to support you and give you living expenses every month, so my burden is already heavy enough. Why do you want me to be responsible for Jean's living expenses? He’s my brother, not my father nor my son. Why should I be responsible for him?""He's your brother, you should be responsible for him! My poor boy, i
“Nina! B*tch, how dare you curse your brother?!” Anna was trembling with rage. Nina did not agree with her, and Anna refused to give up either.“Am I cursing him?” Nina sneered, “His arms and legs are still fine now. Why don’t you chop off his arms and legs for him? I’d be willing to pay for his living expenses until he’s dead, not to mention a monthly allowance of just 5,000 dollars!”Nina hated the two of them who were her so-called family. That was why she said such things."H-How dare you to say something like that?!" Nina's words pissed Anna off.Anna's blood pressure would have shot up high if it was in the past. However, her blood pressure was stable because she was in the hospital and the doctors took good care of her.“I’ll only support the handicapped,” Nina said in a cold voice.Anna rested her hand on her heart as she thought of pretending to be weak. She was so angry that her face reddened. The caretaker immediately said to Nina when she saw this, “Ms. Nina, please
Malice flashed across Anna’s eyes. She was in a dilemma. They were being straightforward when they agreed to it. If Nina was the one negotiating with Anna right now, Anna might be able to get more from her.However, there was a risk that Nina would refuse to give her more money.Deep down in Anna’s heart, she knew Nina had no obligation to look after Jean. It was her who was being stubborn, thinking that Nina should take care of Jean. There was no turning back this time. It was impossible for Jean to depend on Nina anymore. Hence, even though Anna thought the amount she asked for was not enough, she chose to sign the contract and get the two million dollars. “Fine.” Anna agreed to it after consideration."Okay. The lawyer will be the witness to the contract signing. I'll give you 2.5 million dollars in cash after signing the contract," said Percy. An extra half a million was added to the amount they decided just now.“Sure.” Anna’s eyes brightened when she heard that. She d
Before this, 500 dollars meant a lot to Anna, but it did not seem much when she had 2.5 million in front of her.Anna said indifferently, “Just take it. The CEO of Mallory Corporation taking 500 dollars... How ridiculous…”Percy’s eyes darkened. He turned to look at Nina and asked, “Is her public services card with you?”"Yes," replied Nina. Just in case the hospital wanted her to pay for medical expenses, Nina brought the public services card with her wherever she went. “Return the card to her. You have nothing to do with her no matter what happens to her in the future,” said Percy.Nina pursed her lips. She took the public services card out of her purse and placed it on Jean’s bed instead of handing it to Anna.Anna only cared about the money now. The public services card was nothing to her. The bags of money she held in her arms were the most important thing.Nina could see how happy Anna was with the smile on her face. It seemed like she was not upset about losing her daugh
However, if Anna let Jean spend the money lavishly, it would only take a while for them to spend 2.5 million dollars. Nina and Percy had done everything they could for them. It was up to Anna how she would spend the rest of her life…She could choose to spoil her son or keep a close eye on her money….“Stop thinking about them. Think about our future.” Percy lifted his hand and gently smoothened out her furrowed brows. Nina just realized that she would still be worried about Anna.“Did you hear what I told her?” Nina asked. “Yes.” Percy had been standing at the door. That was why he had heard their conversation. Percy initially thought of telling Nina that he was going back to attend a meeting, but his assistant called him when he was on his way, claiming that the other party had something else to do. Hence, the meeting was postponed to the afternoon. Although Nina had Luca by her side, Percy was still worried about her. Thus, he made a detour and headed back to the hospit
Anna was wiping her tears beside the ward bed and looking at Jean, who said nothing. She thought Jean was in pain, so she asked in a worried tone, “Are you in pain? Let me ask the doctor to come over and give you an injection for the pain.After that, Anna pressed the patient call bell beside the bed.Jean did not stop her. He closed his eyes and recalled what had happened yesterday.Jean was beaten up by Cobra. His body felt weak, and he could not find where his phone was. There was no way he could ask for help. He ended up sleeping beside a pile of trash.He was in pain and freezing at that time. Slowly, he began to feel drowsy and fell asleep. He forgot what happened next. Anna’s face came into sight when he opened his eyes. There was no memory of what had happened to him in between…The nurse walked into Jean’s ward when she heard the patient call bell. She asked, “What’s wrong with Patient No. 1?”“He’s awake,” answered the caretaker.“Okay. Let me call the doctor,” rep
