Telling Lies, loving you

Chapter 90 I Owe You Too Much

Taking out the bank card from her bag and ready to hand it to the nurse, her wrist was caught by someone. Then a black suitcase was stuffed in her hand. She was stunned.

Following the owner of the hand, she looked up at Scott standing beside her and said, "I have money." NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Scott stared at her with his black eyes and said, "You haven't got your salary this month. Don't push yourself too hard. I'm your boss. I don't want my employees to cry in front of me. "

The nurse looked at Scott and then averted her eyes to Michelle who didn't react immediately. She was confused.

Scott took out a gold card from his black wallet and handed it to the nurse. The nurse's eyes lit up immediately and took it with both hands. She carefully went through the formalities.

The card didn't have the password, so she just needed to skim on the machine.

"Boss, I think I owe you too much."

"Saving one life earns more merit than building a seven tier pagoda. I donated a great deal of money to charities every year." Scott knew what she was worried about so he said it half-jokingly.

But it was true. He would donate millions of dollars to the charity every year. To be honest, this money was really nothing for him.

But she didn't expect that he could act in such a way. "Well, I will invite you to my home for dinner some other time," she said

"Yes."

At first, Scott wanted to come to the hospital to transfer Olivia to a big hospital, but he knew that Michelle would definitely not agree, so he let go of this idea.

In the ward, Olivia had already fallen asleep.

Michelle walked over and blew for her mother with the fan.

"Isn't there air conditioner? Why don't you turn it on?" Scott was confused.

"The patient of the seventeenth bed cannot be dried, so he didn't open it." Speaking of that, Michelle also lowered her voice for fear of disturbing the patient behind the screen.

There were six beds in this ward. It was rehabilitation department where there were many empty beds. All the patients left at seven o'clock in the morning to receive a rehabilitation treatment, which made them feel quiet.

"Boss, have you solved the company's issues? You left in a hurry last time. " To ease the embarrassment, Michelle broke the ice.

"Yes." Scott replied in a low voice.

Just when they calmed down again, some noise came from the next room. The screen shook but didn't fall down.

Almost at the same time, a young woman in plain clothes came over from the next door. The 18 and 19 ward bed faced the door directly, so they could see everyone going in and out from here.

Obviously, when they passed by, the young woman glanced at Scott calmly. However, Michelle could feel her deep love for him. How could she accept the fact that she was married and her husband was still in hospital?

They were talking in a minority, so Michelle couldn't understand what they were talking about.

Scott didn't pay much attention to that woman, who, as if aware of the fact, rolled her eyes at them and left. At this time, Michelle and Scott looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Lying on the bed with her eyes closed, Olivia woke up a long time ago. She didn't want to disturb them.

Hearing their laughter, Olivia turned her head slightly and her lips were curving.

"Michelle, go home to sleep tonight. I can take care of myself." When Olivia woke up, she saw Michelle peeling an apple on the chair. After hearing her mother's words, she immediately put down the fruit knife.

"Mom, you are in hospital now. How can I rest assured?"

"I know my own health." With a smile on her face, Olivia looked at Scott and said, "Scott, could you please take her home?"

Scott dazed for a second and turned to Michelle.

Every mother in the world loved her daughter. It had been a long time for Michelle to take care of her. Olivia was worried that Michelle could not stand it anymore. But she knew what kind of person her daughter was, so she begged Scott.

"Mom, I don't want to go home." Michelle refused with a frown.

"Michelle!" When she called her daughter's name, she was a little angry. However, Michelle didn't buy it at all. She was still firm in her mind.

"Auntie, let's go out for dinner tonight. It's my treat." Scott had no choice but to change the topic.

Olivia knew what he was thinking, so she smiled and said, "It's too expensive."

"It doesn't matter."

She made some arrangements and sat on her wheelchair with Scott's help. The doctor said that even if she was discharged from hospital, she could not walk, so Olivia could not go back to work as before.

There were not many good restaurants near the hospital. They were all private restaurants. Obviously, Scott would not go there.

Scott drove the car with her and her daughter and stopped at a restaurant near the grand intersection.

"Scott, it's too expensive here. Let's find somewhere cheap." With the help of Michelle, Olivia got off the car and sat on a wheelchair. When she looked up at the hotel's sign, she was frightened and wanted to go back.

Standing next to them, Michelle didn't say anything because she had already known that Scott would come, so she didn't feel surprised.

Scott just smiled and then walked to Michelle and helped her push Olivia toward the restaurant.

After ordering a large table of delicious food, Olivia was already dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.

"Auntie, you are not in good health. You should eat something nutritious." Scott put the bowl on the table in front of Olivia.

Michelle stared at him with amazement. 'Is he still my president? She felt he was kind of like son-in- law?'

She shook her head, hoping things would not be as she thought. But she had learned her lesson once. She could no longer accept the love of the rich. Because of the difference in status between them, there would be no final result.

Perhaps every girl wanted to marry a rich prince charming, but the reality was cruel. Anyway, the prince was only a dream.

After dinner, Scott sent them back to the hospital. After a short while, Scott stood up and left.

"Aunt, I have to go now. I will visit you when I have time."

"Okay. Michelle, just walk him out."

After sending Scott out, Michelle returned to the ward. Seeing her packing up in the ward, Olivia smiled.

"Michelle, are you mad?"

"Oh, nothing."

"Come here and have a talk with me."

Michelle put things on the table, walked to the bed and sat down.

"I think, Scott, he is much better than Wyn. Look, he has paid so much for you..."

"I know. You can rest assured that I will pay back the money sooner or later." She wanted to stop her mother from continuing her words. She was not blind. She could see and hear. But she didn't want to do that because she was tired.

"You naughty girl. You are still young and you still have a long way to go. But people should not only focus on one thing in their lifetime,"

"Mom, I don't know what you are talking about." She asked back, pretending that she didn't know the answer. In fact, she just wanted to find a reasonable excuse for her escape.

She then took the washbasin from under the bed and walked out of the ward. Watching her receding figure, Olivia's eyes were full of affection.

Five days later, Michelle completed all the discharging formalities and entered the ward with the list.

In the ward, Olivia was packing up. It had to be said that after a few days of treatment, she was able to get out of bed and stand up. It's just that her legs won't be able to stand it for a long time.

She used up all the money she paid when she was in hospital, almost a little bit of it.

Looking at the list in her hand, Olivia could not help asking, "How much did we spend in total?"

"There are receipts." She didn't try to hide the truth because she knew that Olivia would know it sooner or later. She gave a receipts, but she didn't show any expression on her face.

After she saw there were receipts, Olivia was shocked, "there are so many! I told you I would be fine in a few days at home. "

"Mom, we've already moved out."

"Is this made by Scott?"

Michelle didn't say anything but nodded.

"Mom has some savings. I'll take them out for him. Give them back to Scott."

"Mom, don't worry about it. I'll find a way to get the money. Let's go home." As soon as she picked up her bag, her phone rang. Taking a look at the number displayed on the screen of her cellphone, she answered it at once, "Boss."

"Will aunt be discharged today?" Scott's pleasant voice came through the phone, while Michelle only replied with a slight "hum".

"I have to go to the company to deal with something urgent."

"It doesn't matter. We can take a taxi home." She sounded very calm.

"Okay, that's it."

After she hung up the phone, Michelle held her mother's arm and walked out of the hospital with great care. The road outside the General Hospital of C city was narrow, and even the traffic was rare. It was troublesome to take a taxi.

The mother and daughter waited outside the hospital gate for a long time. They didn't know how many cars they blocked their way, but neither of them wanted to stop. The drivers were busy taking the duty.

Twenty minutes later, when she finally got a cab, her mother's leg was a little sore. At this point, she regretted not learning driving. But she didn't seem to have the money to buy a car.

After they got back home, Michelle cleaned up the house and it was evening.

When they were chatting and laughing in the kitchen, the doorbell rang. Michelle had to put things down and went to open the door. When the door was opened, the tall and slender figure of Scott appeared outside.

"Aunt, I am here to see you." While Scott was walking in with two bags of nourishment, Michelle happened to pick them up, but he had already put the two bags on the tea table in the living room.

"Boss, please have a seat. The dinner will be ready soon." After she settled Scott in a comfortable place, she went into the kitchen again.
