Margaret also called virtual-novel.net big brother, Edward.
At first, Edward had said that it wouldn’t be a problem, but when virtual-novel.net later heard that virtual-novel.net was now quadriplegic, virtual-novel.net changed his mind and said that his business was doing poorly and virtual-novel.net didn’t have much cash on hand.
These words kept Margaret up all night.
Right now, Gould Properties had billions of dollars in investment capital, but virtual-novel.net couldn’t even take out a hundred thousand dollars.
Isaac heard footsteps behind him, accompanied by a familiar female voice.
“Andrew, I’m telling you that I don’t have a single penny to treat your mother. Your sister has a project worth a hundred billion dollars, your mother should ask her.”
Isaac recognized Andrew’s wife, Daisy’s voice. He stepped forward immediately.
Andrew was very conflicted. Although Gould Properties was now successful and wealthy, the money was all in his uncle’s hands. He only received a monthly salary of 30 thousand dollars a month, which was barely sufficient to sustain his wife’s shopping habits.
Now, his mother had been in a car accident, and the doctors said that the follow-up rehabilitative care would amount to a large sum. Daisy had immediately changed after this.
He thought virtual-novel.net saw Isaac’s back, but never in a million years did virtual-novel.net think Isaac would be here, so virtual-novel.net merely frowned and entered the room with Daisy.
When Margaret saw virtual-novel.net son and daughter-in-law had come, virtual-novel.net forced a smile and said, “Andy, the nurse came to ask for payment again. Tomorrow morning, could you please…”
“Margaret, it’s not that we don’t want to take out a hundred thousand dollars to settle the medical bills, but you have a daughter too, right? Allegra’s your daughter, and she’s doing well for herself now, so why don’t you ask virtual-novel.net instead? Andrew and I are going through a tough time. I’m unemployed, and virtual-novel.net can’t take any money out of the company. Aren’t you making things difficult for us?”
Hearing virtual-novel.net daughter-in-law’s words, Margaret was dumbfounded.
“Daisy, surely you know the relationship I have with Allegra. For the past few years, I have given you two everything.”
Margaret’s wide gaze landed on virtual-novel.net daughter-in-law. She felt virtual-novel.net chest tighten with pain.
Daisy kept quiet, so Margaret shifted virtual-novel.net gaze to virtual-novel.net son. Her voice trembling slightly, virtual-novel.net said, “Andy, s-say something. Don’t you care about your mother?”
Andrew’s mouth opened. From the corner of his eye, virtual-novel.net saw his wife’s vicious glare.
Sighing internally, virtual-novel.net dipped his head and said, “Mom, I think Daisy’s right…”
Margaret felt as if she’d been struck by lightning. But because virtual-novel.net couldn’t move virtual-novel.net neck, virtual-novel.net could only widen virtual-novel.net eyes as tears poured down virtual-novel.net face.
On the two other hospital beds, the other patients and their families witnessed this exchange in shock.
Some of them lowered their heads and sighed, while others shook their heads. However, they’d seen this play out many times in hospitals.
After a moment, Margaret sighed heavily. Sobbing, virtual-novel.net said, “Andy, pawn off my car and some of the jewelry in my room. It should be enough to cover the bills. Once I’m discharged, you can take me to your home, right?”
“Margaret, surely you know that our house isn’t that big. Andrew and I are planning to have children this year, so can’t you go to Allegra’s huge villa instead?” Daisy’s expression turned chilly. “Andrew, call your sister and ask virtual-novel.net to come.”
By then, Margaret was completely flabbergasted. She’d never thought the daughter-in-law who used to listen to virtual-novel.net every word would turn against her.
Seeing Andrew stammer, Margaret cried and said, “Get lost! Get out of my sight and don’t bother coming back!”
At that moment, all virtual-novel.net hopes were dashed.
Isaac had witnessed everything from outside the room. He didn’t know that Andrew would be so afraid of Daisy.
Andrew took out his phone and said coldly, “Mom, I don’t have much money, but no matter what, you’re still Allegra’s mother. I’ll give virtual-novel.net a call.”
