Chapter 36 Treat Morris to Dinner
“Hah. I feel so good.”
Tamsin grinned from ear to ear. He looked at Morris and said, “My daughter has been spoiled by her mother since she was a child. Please don’t blame her.”
“Yes. She’s unsophisticated. Mr Cheal, please don’t be angry.”
Jenny knew that Morris was noble, so she did not dare to call him by his name. So she called him “Mr. Cheal”.
“That’s ok.”
A smile appeared on Morris’ cold face. “The doctor said that Uncle Mond’s physical indicators are normal. He can be discharged tomorrow.”
“Hah. Thank you, Mr. Cheal.”
“Yeah. If it weren’t for your help, I don’t know when he would wake up.”
Jenny was very grateful to Morris and did not forget to say to Vivian, “We owe Mr. Cheal such a big favor. You have to treat him to a dinner tonight. You hear?”
Vivian pursed her lips and wanted to refuse, but when she saw her adoptive parents’ smiles, she couldn’t bear to reject them.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
She could only nod unhappily. “Got it.”
She didn’t want to see Morris act in front of her parents. She turned around and walked out of the ward, heading straight for the nurse station.
“Miss, can you help me check how much medical expenses my father’s ward owes?”
At the nurse station, Vivian said her adoptive father’s ward number to the nurse and asked.
“Tamsin Mond, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“It’s…” The nurse looked at the bill and suddenly stopped saying. She approached the computer screen and whispered, “Is there something wrong with the system? How can you owe so much money?”
“What’s wrong?” Vivian asked.
The nurse confirmed the number on the screen, and then said to Vivian with certainty, “It’s 23, 758, 24 dollars.”
“What? Two hundred…”
Vivian couldn’t help exclaiming. She then covered her mouth, afraid that her adoptive parents would hear her.
She lowered her voice and whispered, “Why should I pay so much? Can you show me the bill?”
“You was indignant just now, but now I can’t afford the money?”
Suddenly, there was a voice behind Vivian.
Vivian turned around and saw Morris looking at her with great interest. There was a mocking smile on his handsome face.
At that time, the nurse had printed the list and handed it to Vivian. “This is the bill. Here you are.”
The nurse was talking to Vivian, but she kept staring at Morris without blinking. She couldn’t help blushing and she admired him so much.
This man was so handsome.
Vivian knew that St. Hospital was a high-end private hospital, and it cost a lot, but she didn’t expect it to be that expensive.
She looked at the bill and felt unwilling.
The Lee Family had given her two million dollars before, and she had paid 80, 000 dollars for a private detective. She had paid 100, 000 dollars for her adoptive parents before, but she only had one million and eight hundred thousand dollars left.
There were still more than 550, 000 dollars to pay for the medical expense.
How could she get the money?
“I can’t afford it…”
Morris came close to her ear and said in a low voice, “You can also pay for it by your body.”
His voice was very magnetic. The hot air blew her hair and tickled her neck. The air was so soft that she couldn’t help but think of the intimate scene with Morris before.
Vivian’s face was covered with heavy makeup. So Morris even couldn’t know she was flushed.
She turned around and looked straight at Morris with her sharp and cold eyes. “Do you fall in love before heat period arrives?”
Morris face turned to be cold. “I’m waiting for your dinner.”
After that, he looked away and turned to leave.
Vivian put away the bill and went to the ward.
Behind her, a nurse muttered to herself, “Is he blind? How can such an ugly person be admire? She is just a woman dating with another man. How shameless!”
Vivian clearly heard the nurse’s words, but she just smiled and ignored her.
Back in the ward, Vivian saw her adoptive parents chatting. She said, “Dad, Mom, congratulations on leaving the hospital tomorrow.”
“That’s good. We can finally go back to our hometown in the countryside.” Tamsin looked up and smiled happily.
The smile on Vivian’s face disappeared. She hesitated for a moment and lied, “I… I’ll send you back first. I’m in the rising phase of my work, so I plan to stay in Houston for the time being.”
The truth of her adoptive parents’ car accident had not been found out yet. How could Vivian be willing to leave like that?
Even though she knew that there was something else behind the car accident, Vivian was afraid that she would never be able to live in peace for the rest of her life.
“What? You are not going back?”
Jenny looked unhappy. She glanced at Tamsin again and said, “Your father and I have recovered. How can we rest assured if you stay in Houston alone? Besides, the Lee Family is not easy to deal with. What if they bully you?”
“Vivian, I don’t ask you to make much money, as long as our family can be happy together.”
Tamsin, who was honest, felt sorry for Vivian because she had endured too much pressure, so he did not ask much for her.
Her adoptive parents’ concern made Vivian’s nose twitch and she almost burst in to tears.
Although she was not their biological child, they regarded her as their own daughter. On the other hand, the Lee Family wanted to kill her in every way!
“Mom.”
Vivian had no choice but to use her trump card. She walked up to Jenny and wrapped her arms around her wrist, acting like a spoiled child. “I graduated from college, after all. I can’t stay in the countryside all the time. I also want to see the outside world, let alone…”
After thinking for a long time, she finally came up with a reason. “What’s more, Issac is still in Houston. And we are just in love. How can I get along with him when I go back to the countryside?”
That was a serious reason.
Vivian couldn’t help but want to praise herself for being clever.
“Well…”
Jenny hesitated and finally nodded helplessly. “You’re right. You’re in a relationship with Issac. If I force you to go back to the countryside, it won’t be good for you.”
The relationship between Vivian and Issac was already known after Tamsin woke up.
At that moment, realizing that Vivian insisted on staying in Houston, he sighed. “Ah, it’s impossible for a grown girl to stay with parents all the time…”
“Dad, that’s nonsense.”
Vivian pursed her lips and smiled. She felt released.
At least, she didn’t have to go back to her hometown for the time being under the excuse of being in love.
In the afternoon, she accompanied her adoptive parents out of St. Hospital for a walk. They shopped and she bought two sets of clothes for her parents.
By the time they returned to the ward, it was already 5:30 p. m.
Jenny forced Vivian to call Morris and to invite him to dinner. She had no choice but to follow.
They had an appointment at the Meetall Restaurant.
After arriving at the restaurant, Vivian sent a location to Morris. Half an hour later, Morris appeared in the private room in a tailored suit. His well-defined face was very tense, cold, and he exuded a sense of oppression.
“Is this the place you invite me to dinner?”
