After leaving the hospital, Janet immediately called Bernie and Fiona. But neither of them answered.

She had no choice but to go to the Lind family's house again.

"Are you insane? Why are you constantly ringing the doorbell?" Minutes later, the maid opened the door and yawned. She seemed annoyed that Janet had disturbed her sleep.

"Let me in! I'm looking for Bernie and Fiona!"

"The entire family is on a vacation to the Maldives. They're not at home."

"When will they come back?" Janet asked anxiously.

Fiona said she didn't have the money to pay the agreed money. How could they go on vacation to the Maldives?

"I don't know. Go ask them!" The maid slammed the door.

Janet stared at the door and kicked it. Her body trembled with rage. "You lying bastards! All of you will rot in hell!"

The Lind family had gone to the Maldives. Regardless of whether it was true or not, Janet couldn't get in touch with them. She had to think of a way to pay Hannah's medical bills.

Perhaps God had sensed that Janet needed money.

As soon as Janet opened her browser, she saw an advertisement about a hospital looking for volunteers for clinical trials to come up with tumor drugs.

They were paying the subjects a thousand dollars for staying in the hospital for a few days and trying out the medicines. In case the drug had repercussions on the subject's body, they would get about ten to forty thousand dollars as compensation, depending on the seriousness of the problem.

It seemed like the perfect opportunity for Janet. She was young and healthy. Even if the medicines had any side effects, they wouldn't harm her that much.

Janet went to the hospital, filled out the registration form, and went straight to get a physical examination. She planned to try the medicines the next week.

Delicious smell of food wafted in the air as soon as Ethan entered the house.

"Why did you come back early today?" Janet cast a sidelong glance at him and continued to toss the spaghetti in the pan.

The apron accentuated her alluring figure. Her curvy bum bobbed as she moved around. The bowtie on her back seemed to tease Ethan -- as if hinting at him to open it and peek at the tempting gift inside.

Ethan's eyes darkened as he felt hot in his throat.

He unbuttoned his collar and went to the fridge to get a bottle of water. "I was off duty earlier today," he said after gulping down the water.

He looked at her floral apron and tugged at the hem. "Is this an apron? It can't even cover your thighs."

It was more like a sexy lingerie. "Stop pulling my apron.

I got it at a discount. It's beautiful, is it not? Take the spaghetti to the table. I'll make some salad." Janet glared at him and continued to cut the vegetables without uttering a word.

Ethan grinned and put the spaghetti bowl on the dining table.
