The Million-Dollar Heart
Chapter 525
Teresa wanted to speak up, but catching the stern look on Wendy's face, she bit her tongue.
But she disagreed strongly.
This was 800 billion, not a measly 800 dollars. Sure, she wanted Wendy's hand to heal, to make the Boyd family prosper. However, spending such an astronomical sum on a hand treatment seemed ludicrous. Would that not be better if that money were split between their two families?
"Mom? What do we do now?" Theodore, coming to his senses, looked to Wendy for guidance.
He would have agreed without a second thought if it were a few hundred or a few million.
But 800 billion? He was much less inclined to spend that much on Wendy's hand treatment.
If she recovered, fine. But it would be like throwing money down the drain if she did not. Moreover, treating Wendy's hand was supposed to benefit the Boyds, not drag them down.
Wendy hesitated, too.
This decision was a tough one.
It was then that Eliza hurried in.
As soon as she entered, she checked Wendy's hand and cursed, "That Vivienne is a piece of work. How dare she do this to you? It's despicable."
She had been out handling some business for the Boyds yesterday and was not around. But she got a call from Wendy this morning detailing the situation, and without a second thought, she rushed over. "You're here just in time. There's something I can't decide on my own. I need your opinion," Wendy said, giving Eliza a knowing look.
Eliza paused momentarily before Wendy added, "The Specter Healer claims he can fix my hand and my back, but his price is exorbitant-800 billion. I don't know if I should go through with it."
Eliza was stunned.
So much money for a treatment?
Of course, they could not agree!
But feeling Wendy's expectant gaze, she wavered.
