Chapter 4 Already Asleep
George said, "How... did you come here?"
Lily glanced at Mia and said sadly, "I've transferred five hundred thousand to the account. George, this is as far as I can help you."
What? George was shocked, "Where did you get five hundred thousand? Did you ask Tom for it? Lily, I can't accept this money. If I take his money, what would I become? Besides, I have money now, a lot of money, one hundred billion. I can solve your problem too."
Slap!
Lily slapped George's face, "Please, can't you wake up? Stop dreaming, okay? You have been dreaming for ten months, isn't that enough?"
"Forget it, take care of yourself. After tomorrow, we will go our own separate ways"
After saying that, she turned around abruptly and fled from the hospital.
George was about to chase after her, but Daisy held him back. She smiled curiously and said, "Oh dear, what's going on here? How did you get involved with your cousin Tom? Could it be that Lily slept with him to raise the five hundred thousand for your mother? Oh dear, this is true devotion!"
Slap!
George raised his hand and slapped Daisy hard on the face.
"How dare you spread rumors?! I'll kill you!" George threatened.
"Do... do you dare to hit me?" Daisy pounced on George, and they started fighting.
At that moment, the head nurse rushed over in a hurry, "What are you doing? Daisy, stop it! Fighting in the hospital, do you want to get fired?"
After being scolded by the head nurse, Daisy immediately restrained herself and pointed at George, "This jerk slapped me first, should I not fight back?"
The head nurse also knew George, "Why did you hit her?"
George pointed at his own mother and said coldly, "She abandoned my mother here. Shouldn't I hit her? I may be broke now, but I can still earn the money to get her a hospital bed. But abandoning someone here and not caring about their life or death..."
"What is this? This is senseless killing,” the head nurse realized that Mia had been left in the corridor. She immediately exclaimed, "Daisy, what have you done? Who gave you permission to do this? Apologize to Mr. Lin and arrange for the patient to be taken back to the ward immediately."
Daisy didn't dare to defy the head nurse and could only apologize and send Mia back to her original bed. George went to find Mia's attending physician to quickly arrange for the surgery. Mia's doctor's name was Vivian. She was only twenty-six years old but had exceptional medical skills. She was the granddaughter of the renowned Riverdale physician, Oliver Tudson. She had a remarkable appearance and is also a beauty in the hospital.
George was anxious about his mother's condition, and Lily's behavior had been unsettling him. Without much thought, he pushed open the door to Vivian's office and walked in. The next second, he froze. Inside, there was a beautiful woman changing clothes. At this very moment, she had just taken off her clothes, revealing her snow-white skin and graceful figure in their entirety. Their eyes met and they both stood still for three seconds. The woman let out a scream and quickly used the clothes in her hand to cover her privacy.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Dr. Tudson, I didn't mean to," George quickly apologized, then hurriedly turned around and closed the door. Vivian was probably getting ready to change clothes before leaving work.
Leaning against the door, George gasped for breath, still captivated by the wonderful sight he had just witnessed, muttering to himself, "What a great figure, so fair-skinned..."
"Click!" Suddenly, the door swung open. George lost his balance for a moment, nearly falling in. Then he saw Vivian, her pretty face frosty, staring at him with anger. "What were you just saying?"
"Uh... that...," George was dumbfounded, he didn't even remember what he had just said, "Dr. Tudson, I was just saying that Daisy, that idiot, actually left my mother in the corridor. If anything happens to my mom, I'll make her pay for it."
His words managed to successfully diverted Vivian's attention. She asked in surprise, "Is that true?"
He quickly rushed to the ward and saw Mia being pushed back. He immediately scolded Daisy relentlessly, and Daisy kept her head down without making a sound. Then, Vivian examined Mia's condition and said to George, "It is still recommended to have the surgery as soon as possible for your mother. Have you raised enough money? If you have genuine difficulties, I can lend you some."
"Huh? No, there's no need. I have raised the money already. Thank you, Dr. Tudson."
Vivian didn't expect George to say that. It was a significant sum of five hundred thousand, not a small amount. Daisy, who was beside him, was also shocked and thought, "This Dr. Tu..."
Has Vivian gone crazy? Is she really considering lending money to this lazy king? Does she have a crush on him?
Shortly after, Vivian said, "Alright, everything is settled. I will arrange for your mother's surgery tomorrow."
"Thank you!"
"Come with me, I'll explain the preparations for tomorrow."
Vivian gave George some instructions as he followed her out of the ward. It was mainly about the preparations before and after the surgery, and the operation schedule. Lastly, she said, "Try to come early tomorrow, don't worry too much. I will personally perform the surgery, and the success rate is high! Also..."
George listened attentively.
He heard Vivian whisper, "Whatever you just saw, keep it to yourself. Got it?"
George quickly nodded, assuring that only he and Vivian would know.
"Go!"
Watching George return to the ward, Vivian let out a sigh. She certainly didn't fall for him; she was touched by his filial piety. For the past ten months, George had been taking care of his mother every day, and she had witnessed it. Few people could do what he did.
...
Soon, George rushed to the payment counter again.
A million was transferred to his mother's account.
"Beep..."
The credit machine announced “ recharge successful.”
Retrieving his bank card, George still felt a bit surreal.
Suddenly, he transformed back into a top-tier wealthy young man.
"Tom, just wait for me. Dare to have any thoughts about my wife, and I'll teach you a lesson!"
Whenever he thought of Tom, he remembered the five hundred thousand Lily paid for his mother.
She took Tom's money. That bastard Tom, did he take advantage of the situation and sleep with her right then and there?
"Damn!"
Thinking of this, he became impatient.
He felt like fire was starting to ignite on his head.
He immediately called Lily.
But it reached the voicemail instead The person you are calling is currently not available.
The more he thought about it, the more his situation felt wrong.
He quickly called his mother-in-law, Florence, and the call connected promptly. "Mom, is Lily at home?"
Upon hearing his voice, Florence immediately became furious. "What does it matter to you whether Lily is at home or not? To think that you have the audacity to call me? Who gave you the courage? Don't bother me if there's nothing of concern, and especially don't bother me even if there is something of concern!"
"No, Mom, you must not let Lily be with Tom. I will resolve the money issue, and I can handle things with Fonda Group. Don't worry!"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Florence began to swear at him, "If you can handle it, pigs will fly. Let me tell you, Tom is my son-in-law, and Lily has already slept with him. You, right now, are just a cuckold."
"Buzz..."
Upon hearing this, George's mind seemed to explode.
His world spun around.
Meanwhile, Florence had hung up the phone.
George stood motionless, utterly lost.
Even though he now had money, if Lily had sold herself to Tom, then what use was having a trillion?
