Chapter 364
Out of nowhere, Hans grew curious, wanting to know his little sister’s standing in the medical field, considering she can handle even the trickiest cases with ease. Everybody knew that the top dog of the medical world was Dr. Bell, whose mad skills can bring people back from the brink of death. But the guy’s a ghost, so nobody knew where to find him.
Ever since his grandparents got chucked into intensive care, he’d been sending people out like crazy to hunt down Dr. Bell, hoping the doctor could pull his grandparents back from the edge..
Some folks said Dr. Bell’s already kicked the bucket, while others claimed they’ve spotted him in the triangular zone. But whether these rumors held water, nobody knew.
He couldn’t help but wonder: could his sister be Dr. Bell’s protégé?
If that were the case, his grandparents would be in good hands.
Louisa whipped out a card from her purse and said, “There’s 200 million bucks on this card. See what she’s asking for, make her happy, and keep the change as pocket money.”
Arabella was a bit thrown off; was she getting more dough?
On the side, Serena was getting green with envy. Her mom was giving Arabella more money right in front of her, not considering her feelings at all.
Arabella tried to give the card back, saying, “No need, I’m good.”
But Louisa insisted on handing it over, saying, “Top–notch doctors charge an arm and a leg; your money might not cut it.”
Arabella retorted, “We’re tight; she won’t charge me a fortune.” She was dead set on not using her parents‘ money anymore.
Serena chimed in, batting her eyelashes, “Mom, you’re too generous. Sis just wants to show her filial piety. If Grandpa and Grandma knew she footed the bill, they’d love her even more.”
Louisa just chuckled and said, “You and your sister are both only 18. It’s normal for girls your age to be broke. If I let her pay, your grandparents will give me hell.”
Kenneth put his foot down: “We can’t let Bella pay.”
Louisa playfully threatened, “If you don’t take this card, we’re not giving your grandparents the meds you brought.”
Kenneth relented: “Bella’s only been home for less than a month, and she’s done so much already. Running the company, weeding out the bad apples, joining design contests, helping the staff bag the championship trophy, boosting the company’s reputation. How could we take advantage of her now?”
“Bella, just take it,” Louisa insisted, stuffing the card into Arabella’s hand. Arabella didn’t want to, but she ended up slipping the card into her backpack.
In the end, Arabella didn’t resist. She figured she’d just return the card to her mom after some time.
Serena was seething with envy. In her mind, she was all, Didn’t she say she didn’t want it? But she still accepted the dough in the end. What a hypocrite! Annoying and pretentious!
