Before she entered the ward, she could hear a commotion from afar.

Frowning, she picked up her pace.

“Look at that expensive stuff. Ashlyn must be rich now!” Horace’s rude voice rang out as he stared at Susan viciously.

Susan cowered back in fear. “Lucas was the one who changed them.”

“Who’s Lucas? Are you lying to me? I don’t see any Lucas here!” Horace demanded angrily. “I don’t care. Get two million from Ashlyn. She’s a famous doctor who gets paid a lot by those wealthy men! She must be rich!”

Susan gazed at her furious son worriedly. “Horace, it isn’t easy for Ashlyn to earn a living. Can you stop extorting her?”

“Mom, how could you be so partial to her? Horace’s company has lost a few contracts strangely within the past few days. We’re facing a cash flow issue now. He’s your son, so you must help him. The only person who can help Horace now is Ashlyn. If she can pay for this VIP ward, she can help Horace, too!” Mary shrilled. She then added, “You should be closer to your son than your granddaughter! Why won’t you help your son?”

Tears brimmed in Susan’s eyes. “Stop it! Ashlyn isn’t rich at all.”
