Chapter 191 I Finally Caught You Cheating On Zed (1/2)
As soon as Jean saw Shirley, she looked for a way to avoid her. But it was too late. Shirley had spotted Jean.
”Sis...” Shirley's voice echoed in the hallway. A number of people turned to see who had shouted in a hospital.
Giving in to the situation, Jean faced Shirley who was straight ahead.
Red in the face, Shirley was breathing loudly as anger rose inside her. Resenting Jean, she said, ”The hospital says dad's situation is stable now but they want us to leave.” Her eyes pierced through Jean's calm expression and implored her to join her in fighting the hospital against this move.
How come?
When Jean had heard the nurse say that Henry was almost half dead, she expected him to be in a terrible condition at the moment.
Listening to what Shirley had just told her, she turned to the nurse.
Jean's curious gaze was noticed by the nurse. In a displeased tone, the nurse informed her, ”You can't afford the medical bills. If we don't ask you to leave, what choice are we left with? You can't continue to stay here without paying your bills.”
They couldn't afford the medical bills?
The Wen family was never so poor, irrespective of land or no land, that they could not afford Henry's medical bills.
Suddenly, Jean began to laugh and asked, ”Nurse, is there a misunderstanding here?”
How was that possible that the Wen family cannot afford to pay Henry's medical bills?
”There's no misunderstanding. We... indeed can't afford dad's hospital bills anymore. You have no idea how much the hospital has charged for dad's medicine, nursing and other medical bills. His stay has used up all the cash we had.” Shirley could feel her ears burning as she took her half-sister aside to explain how their fortunes had reversed. Shirley acted as if it were truly unfortunate and she had no part to play in their 'poverty'.
”Shirley, do you take me for an idiot? No matter how poor the Wen family is, how come you can't afford just tens of thousands of dollars?”
Before Henry got into the hospital, weren't the Wen family all dressed in luxury designer labels? Didn't you all dine at high-end exclusive restaurants? Jean shook her head with disbelief.
