Chapter 36
Who Said That I Could Not Afford?
An Xiaowan was dazed, Huo Shen called the doctor?
But she did not even tell him about her cold and flu.
Or… Was it because she sneezed just now?
An Xiaowan did not dare to think too much about this care. She thought for a few seconds and concluded,
“Huo Shen must be afraid that I would pass the virus to him. That is why he was so eager to call the doctor immediately and cure my flu.”
“Thank you.”
After examining her, the doctor prescribed some flu medicine and passed them to the servants.
After everything settled down, the first thing An Xiaowan thought of doing was to check the balance in her bank account.
As expected, even after disgracing herself and as reluctant as she might be, Du Yunlan still transferred RMB 2,000,000 into her account to save her face.
Her lips curled into a smile as she took her card and immediately went to the hospital where her father was admitted.
Because of the lack of money, the environment in her father’s ward was not good, and the caretaker she hired took care of multiple patients at the same time. An Xiaowan thought now she could finally hire a better caretaker for her father.
However, when she went to make the payment for the fees, the nurse looked at her and shook her head. “Ms. An, during the inspection of hospital machinery, it was found that the machine your father requires needs to be scrapped, and the hospital does not have any plans to procure a new one as of now.”
“What do you mean?” An Xiaowan stared at the nurse.
The nurse looked at her gorgeous face and snorted. She slid back An Xiaowan’s card and said, “So Ms. An, you would have to make a choice. You can either transfer your father to another hospital or bear a portion of the machine’s cost.”
Everyone at the hospital knew that An Xiaowan always delayed her payment. She never had money for fees on time.
How expensive is a machine?
They knew that An Xiaowan could not afford it and were deliberately trying to chase her away!
The Director of this hospital was Wen Biyu’s uncle.
An Xiaowan’s complexion suddenly turned cold. She tightly held the bank card in her hand and her eyes were filled with rage.
She did not have to think about it. This was surely done by Du Yunlan and An Xue. They were up to no good!
On the surface, they lost once to her. That must be why they resorted to such under-handed tricks to take revenge by targeting her weakness.
The fees needed for transferring to another hospital were not just high, but the process itself was very troublesome too.
Furthermore, due to An Xiaowan’s problem, not many hospitals in Capital would be willing to take her father in.
“I suggest for Ms. An to decide on a transfer.” The nurse gave An Xiaowan a contemptuous look.
An Xiaowan pulled back her lips coldly. “How much does it cost to procure a new machine?”
“Two Million.” The nurse replied absent-mindedly while operating the computer.
She inhaled a deep breath. “Will the machine belong to me if I bought it?”
“Of course not, it only gives your family an exclusive right for one year to use the machine.” The nurse was getting impatient. “You can’t afford it anyway, why bother asking?”
“Who told you that?” An Xiaowan proudly squinted her eyes. “I will pay for it.”
The nurse was stunned. She took An Xiaowan’s card and swiped it, her face covered with disbelief during the entire transaction.
The balance in her card was reduced by RMB 2,000,000. The remaining amount of a few tens of thousands was just enough to pay for the medical treatment fees and the caretaker.
After all the transactions concluded, there was nothing left in An Xiaowan’s card. At this time, even her heart had become empty.
She just had two million for a while in her hands, and now it was all gone.
She still could not afford to hire a better caretaker for her father.
An Xiaowan sat beside the hospital bed and looked at her father’s withering face. Her heart filled with sadness, looking at her father’s face, which was once refined like an ancient Chinese scholar and full of spirit.
What exactly happened at that time?
Why was her father lying in a pool of blood when she returned home?
“Dad, you must wake up.” An Xiaowan held his hand softly, and her eyes moistened. “Xiaowan has been waiting for you to wake up and tell me the truth.”
Even in a vegetative state, father had been persevering strenuously. He must be trying his best to regain his consciousness and tell her everything.
