Chapter 1415
Neera seemed not at all surprised nor worried. She asked indifferently, “Do you want money?”
Maggie’s eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes, that’s exactly what I mean!”
After speaking, she realized that her tone was overly excited. She quickly switched to a tone of sorrow.
“Neera, I know I’m causing you trouble, and I really don’t want to. However, I’m truly out of options. It’s
arge sum of money. Where am I supposed to get that from? I can’ty golden eggs. I… I’ve thought
it over and over, and you’re the only one I could turn to. Neera, your status is different now. You’re
wealthy and influential. Even a tiny bit of your wealth could feed our family for ten years or something.
Please help us out. After all, we’re family!”
Family? Ha. This word,ing from Maggie’s mouth, somehow seemsughable no matter how I look
at it. Neera didn’t want to dredge up the past with Maggie.
She simply asked, “What illness?” Her tone was extremely indifferent.
Maggie paused for a moment, then said vaguely, “It’s a stomach issue. He’s suffering from severe
stomach pain, vomiting, and diarrhea.”
“What’s the issue with his stomach?” Neera asked further.
“This…” Maggie seemed a bit stumped, stammering, “I can’t remember clearly. Oh, I’m uneducated.
How would I know the names of those diseases? You’re asking me so many questions, but I can’t
exin clearly. Anyway, it’s a stomach issue. Neera, is it convenient for you to send some money now?
I don’t even have enough to pay for the inpatient fee. Even if you don’t do it for our sake, do it for your
younger brother’s sake. Help us out. You can’t just do nothing and watch us suffer, can you?”Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
Neera responded indifferently, “Just tell me the hospital’s name. I’ll ask myself.”
Maggie seemed to choke up, pausing for a moment before responding in a strange tone, “There’s no
need for that, Neera. You don’t think I’m lying to you, do you? I’m not lying. Why would I joke about my
husband’s life? If you don’t believe me, I… I can take a video for you and send it to you so you can see
if he’s really in the hospital, okay?”
Neera suddenlyughed. “Didn’t you say I can’t just stand by and do nothing while you all are
suffering? In that case, I should at least show some concern about what kind of illness he has, right?
Don’t worry. If it’s a serious disease, I’ll fly back immediately to perform the surgery on him. personally.
I’ll even hire a professional caregiver to look after him, so you won’t have to spend a dime.”
Maggie fell silent.
Neera waited patiently. After a few seconds, she heard Maggie’s voice again,ced with a touch of
anger, yet thetter was desperately trying to suppress it. “Neera, I know you’re a good girl. It’s not so
serious that he needs surgery, but… He does need to stay in the hospital for a while. The doctor said
he’ll need a lot of supplements and such. I really can’t afford it. Given your high status and busy
schedule, there’s no need for you to worry about this all the time. You…”
Neera suddenly found the whole thing boring and lost her patience, interrupting Maggie coldly. “Let me
reiterate. Just tell me the name of the hospital. During the hospitalization, I will cover all the expenses
directly with the hospital.”

need for that, Neera. You don’t think I’m lying to you, do you? I’m not lying. Why would I joke about my

Neera suddenly found the whole thing boring and lost her patience, interrupting Maggie coldly. “Let me
reiterate. Just tell me the name of the hospital. During the hospitalization, I will cover all the expenses
directly with the hospital.”
She spoke with such firmness that Maggie, after much hesitation, had no choice but to grit her teeth
and reveal the name of the hospital.
After hanging up the phone, Maggie could no longer hold back. Her face suddenly changed, and she
began to curse Neera through gritted teeth. “This little b*tch! How dare she show off in front of me,
acting all high and mighty. Now that she’s got money, she’s off gallivanting abroad, forgetting all about
us, who took care of her. She’s an ungrateful ingrate! If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have
fed her in the first ce. I should have let her starve!”
Beside her, on the sickbed, Nigel also had a dark expression on his face.
“This Neera, she’s not one to be easily manipted. When ites to money, she holds onto it like her
life depends on it! This is just as expected of the rich. The richer they are, the stingier they be!” At
that moment, he spoke with full vigor, showing no signs of illness whatsoever.
Maggie kept onining, “We really misjudged the situation back then. If we had known she had an
aunt who loved her so much, we would have at least put on a show. We really missed out!”
After she finished speaking, sheughed maliciously. “However, it doesn’t matter. No matter what, she
can’t escape the fate of having been adopted by us. We are still her parents in name. We were kind to
her when we were young, so she should be grateful. It’s only right and natural for her to spend money
on us!”
“Dad, Mom! You’re being too unfair!” At that moment, Wilfrid walked in, carrying a thermal lunch box in
his hand, his expression quite irate.
Earlier, when he was outside the door, he overheard every word his parents were saying.
