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 hospital.
Percy asked the nurse and found out Jean’s ward number. When he arrived at the door, he heard the noises that came from
inside. That was when he heard their conversation.
Nina let out a sigh. She wanted to know what Percy thought about it. Hence, she asked, "Do you think I’m a horrible person after
you heard what I said.."
"Why would I find you horrible? My wife is the prettiest, cutest, most kind-hearted little fairy." Percy held Nina in his arms, saying
sweet little things he had never said to her before.
If it was in the past, he would never have believed that he would say something like that to her.
"Stop being silly." Nina listened to his sweet talk while leaning against his chest. She listened to his heartbeat. She could not help
but tease him, "I even mentioned chopping one's arms and legs off. But you're saying that I'm pretty and kind-hearted? I don't
think there's anything wrong with it even if you call me a witch."
"That’s not true. I think what you said makes sense," replied Percy.
"Does that make sense? Why don’t you tell me about it?" Nina wanted to see what Percy would say.
"A kind person would lend a hand to the handicapped. They’d even be willing to support them for the rest of their life. Tell me, if
that’s not kindness, then what is it?" Percy pinched Nina’s jaw and teased her.
Nina sat up straight and said helplessly, “You win. I realize that you'll always think about what I'll say next when you say
something. That's why you can shut me up."
"No. What I said was reasonable. Being reasonable can shut someone's mouth. Wifey, is there anything else you'd like to ask?"
Percy smiled and said.
"We're not married yet," Nina rolled her eyes at him.
"Your family accepted the dowry. You're mine now," replied Percy. It was fine if Nina refused to admit it. It was just a matter of
time.
"I'm not arguing with you. Send me back to my office." Nina smiled.
"Okay. Let's have lunch together at the restaurant below your office," said Percy as he started the car engine and left.
Nina glanced at the time, only to realize that it was almost noontime...
She had unconsciously spent all morning just dealing with Jean's matter.
Luca said that Jean would wake up in two hours. Nina believed that. Hence, looking at the time now, Jean should be waking up
soon.
However, it did not matter whether Jean woke up or not. She had nothing to do with him anymore.
In the ward.
Anna took the money and her public services card. She headed to the hospital's ATM.
She asked the hospital's security guard to escort her. Then, she deposited all the cash into her card.
The public services card was linked to banks nowadays. Therefore, it could be used as a bank card. There was a reason why
Percy had asked Nina to return Anna her card.
Another reason was that they had nothing to do with each other anymore. That was why Nina did not have to help Anna to keep
her card.
Anna smiled satisfyingly when she looked at the numbers on the ATM. She turned around and said to the caretaker, "Come on,
let's go back to my son's ward. I have to look after him."
The caretaker looked at Anna with confusion.
How could she be so happy when she had just severed ties with her daughter?
Two million dollars in exchange for severing ties with a family member. After Anna deposited the money, she only thought about
Jean.
The caretaker was truly unable to understand her.
Nina was the one who had been taking care of Anna when she was sick and in bed for such a long time. Although Nina did not
look after her, she had done everything else. The caretaker had looked after many patients before. It was rare to see someone
as filial as Nina.
Besides, the caretaker could see that it was Anna who started all the fights with Nina. Nina was the innocent one.
Giving up a filial daughter and favoring her son, Jean, who only came to the hospital to ask for money. The caretaker could not
understand what Anna was thinking about.
Anna narrowed her eyes and asked when she saw the caretaker standing still there. "Why are you standing there?"
The caretaker came back to her senses and caught up with Anna.
Then, Anna said, "I'm rich now. Tell the doctor that I'm getting discharged tomorrow. I don't know how much longer my son is
going to stay here. I'll leave him to you to look after. Just take care of him until the doctor says he can get discharged from the
hospital."
Anna only roughly heard what Nina said. That was why she had no idea about Jean's condition now. She did not manage to ask
the doctor yet.
Anna was hoping that Jean's condition was not that serious. That way, he could get discharged from the hospital as soon as
possible.
Moreover, she did not have to spend so much money on Jean's medical expenses. She knew the hospital's rules. She would
have to pay 20,000 dollars when it was confirmed that Jean had to be admitted to the hospital. The 20,000 dollars did not include
surgery fees. If Jean did not go for the surgery, the money would be able to last for some time.
"Okay..." replied the caretaker. As long as she got paid, it did not matter who she was taking care of.
Anna returned to Jean's ward.
The patient who was next to Jean's ward bed came back, and he was sitting on his bed.
He saw Anna walking in and asked, "Where's your daughter?"
"I don't have a daughter," Anna rolled her eyes at him and answered in a cold voice. She thought that this person was nosy.
Besides, why did he have to mention this? If Anna knew Percy was outside the ward earlier, she would have asked for three
million dollars.
The man did not say anything more.
Anna said to the caretaker, "Look after my son. I'm going to look for the doctor and find out what his condition is."
"Okay." The caretaker pulled a chair and walked toward the ward bed. Then, she sat on the chair, staring at Jean.
Anna found out that Jean was not seriously injured after asking the doctor about his condition. It was just a minor bone fracture.
Although he fractured many of his bones, there was no need to perform surgery on him. Hence, everything was fine.
Jean had to stay in the hospital for two days for observation, then he would be able to get discharged from the hospital.
Anna was delighted. She returned to Jean's ward.
The caretaker saw Anna walking in and said, "Ms. Anna, he's awake."
"Awake?" Anna hurried over and looked at Jean, who was lying on the bed. There were a few teardrops streaming down her
cheek. "My son, you're finally awake."
"Mom, why are you here?" Jean was still feeling dizzy. He closed his eyes again when he saw Anna dashing toward him.
"You've been admitted to the hospital. How could I not be here to take a look at you? Do you really believe that your mother is a
heartless person?" Anna wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes while looking at how flustered Jean was. It hurt her heart,
making it throb.
