An Impossible Marriage

Chapter 94

Steven quickly let go of his hand and grumbled to himself. What‘s wrong with this woman today?

Later, he took the elevator up. When he passed by the nurses‘ station, he approached a nurse and asked, “How‘s my mom‘s condition today?”

Upon seeing the man before her, the nurse replied attentively, “Her condition is perfect. The doctor will allow her to discharge in a few days.”

After getting the information he hoped for, Steven thanked the nurse. As he was walking away from the nurses‘ station, he overheard the chatters among the nurses. “It seems that the patient from bed 31 has no money to pay for his hospital bills.”

“Isn‘t it obvious? He‘s bankrupt, after all. I guess he can only wait for death to befall. I‘ve also heard that he owes people a lot of money. It‘s a shame to see one of Dellmoor‘s famous jewelry process factories go into bankruptcy.”

Steven brought his footsteps to a halt. After pondering for a moment, he returned to the nurses‘ station. “May I know if the patient you‘re talking about is Zachary Clark?” Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

The nurse then replied, “Yes, he‘s in our hospital now. He has a heart condition.”

After learning about Zachary‘s condition, Steven considered for a moment and asked, “May I know how much he owes the hospital?”

After some checking, the nurse informed, “It‘s around ten thousand now. He has to undergo surgery soon too. The hospital has been postponing it because he can‘t fork out money. The surgery will cost him around two hundred thousand.”

Steven then declared, “If so, I‘ll pay for everything, including the surgery fees. Please make it as an anonymous donation.”

The nurse was surprised to hear that. “Do you know Zachary?”

With a wry smile, he replied, “No. But I know his daughter.”

Feeling jealous, the nurse‘s voice was full of disappointment when she replied, “Oh... Okay. I‘ll process it for you now.”

Back at the Lewis residence, Margaret was checking through her savings and decided to sell her paintings online. The income from selling the paintings was fairly

unstable, so she regretted leaving her previous job. Essentially, it would be much easier for her to help Jodie if she had a stable income now. Either way, it was unpredictable that Jodie‘s family would face insolvency.

After transferring Jodie some money, she texted: Do allow us to go through this hard : time with you. Please remember that you‘re not alone no matter what happens. Jenson and I will be by your side. So, don‘t push yourself too hard. Margaret texted Jodie because she was worried that the latter would refuse to accept the money.

When Jodie received the notification of the money transfer and the text, she could no longer hold back her tears. With the newly brought flask in her hand, she wailed loudly as she was walking toward the hospital, blatantly ignoring all the curious gazes along the way.

She then bumped into Steven again. The world was indeed small. Steven was about to leave the hospital when he spotted Jodie, and her pitiful state made him want to laugh out loud. “Why are you crying? What happened to you? Did the seller refuse to give you a discount?”.

Jodie rolled her eyes at him and said, “It‘s none of your business.”

Feeling like teasing her, he said, “I asked because I care. Regardless, why do you hate me so much?”

Jodie, on the other hand, became increasingly irritated as she stared at the man before her, sobbing. “Why are you here? Are you here for the andrology department? Do you have syphilis?”

The corners of Steven‘s mouth twitched uncontrollably as he noticed the disgusted gazes of the passersby upon hearing Jodie‘s statement. “Why do you have to say that? I‘m leaving now! Do enjoy crying yourself. I don‘t want others to think that I bullied

you.”

Jodie watched him flee the scene and yelled, “There‘s no shame in admitting that you‘re sick!”

When she returned to the ward, Raina pulled her aside excitedly and exclaimed, “Jo, someone donated money to us! Your dad can undergo his surgery now!”

Surprised, Jodie asked, “Donation? Who would be so kind to give us a donation? Everyone tried to stay away from us when our family went bankrupt.”

Raina shook her head in reply. “I have no idea about the person‘s identity. The nurse told me that the donor insisted on donating anonymously. Apparently, he paid

everything, including the recovery fees after the surgery. If we manage to find out the person‘s identity, we must thank that person as he is our savior.”

Dying to find out the identity of the donor, Jodie hurried to the nurses‘ station and asked, “Miss, may I know who donated money for my dad?”
