A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Thinking about her father's medical bills made her flinch.

Fortunately, she had been paid yesterday, and it added more money to her budget. Her money in hand without her salary was definitely not enough.

Her company had paid her three times her basic salary yesterday.

All the overtime she had pulled for almost a month had paid off.

She could afford all her expenses if she started to scrimp.

Estelle decided that she would not only pay the follow-up medical fees but also return Ethan's money.

She did not want to owe anyone.

"Father, you're going to be okay," she murmured, stroking her father's hair. Then, she stood up, left her father's ward, and went to the billing department.

The medical staff handed Estelle her father's information and hospital bill.

She looked through it briefly. The amount was within her budget, and with the reimbursement from her father's health insurance, everything was covered.

She breathed a sigh of relief. After confirming the amount, she slipped the bill into her bag and walked to a nearby bank to withdraw some cash.

Ethan was already at the ward when Estelle returned.

He usually came at this time of day and had never been late.

Estelle approached him with heavy steps.

"There you are," Ethan said by way of greeting.

He could tell that Estelle was in a bad mood, so he was careful with his words.

Estelle walked over to him and handed him an envelope.

She waited for Ethan to accept it.
