Chapter 12 Debt Settlemen


    Thest insult echoed in the quiet room. Cathy, who was still standing beside Cara, believed that the


    at Horace and his mother with a tinge of sympathy in her eyes. After thinking for a while, she said,


    "Cara, let them stay for now. I''ll sort out the medical bills for themter!"


    "Cathy, are you out of your mind? Why would you do such a thing? If you clear their debt, they wouldn''t


    pay you back! It seems like you have lots of money to throw around. In that case, why don''t you invite


    our colleagues to have some fun? Don''t waste your money on chronic debtors. Do you seriously think


    they would pay you back?"


    "No, I don''t think so. However, I feel sorry for them. I just want to help them out of the goodness of my


    heart."


    "Out of the goodness of your heart? Spare me that crap. Why do you even feel sorry for them? The


    world is filled with billions of poor people. Some of them are in our hospital currently. Do you want to


    help them all? Are you now Mother Theresa? Just take my candid advice. Open your eyes to reality!"


    "Thank you, Cathy!" Horace was touched by the benevolence of the calm nurse. He didn''t expect that


    she would offer to help even though she barely knew him. With a grateful heart, he added, "Cathy, your


    actions today have shown that you are a good person. If you ever encounter trouble in the future, you


    cane to me at any time!"


    All his life, Horace had only experienced a few kind gestures from strangers. His life of despair made


    him appreciate the littlest help he got from people.


    A sarcastic expression appeared on Cara''s face. She mocked, "What a glib-tongued brat. You are poor,


    but you are good at making empty promises!"


    She pointed at Horace and said to her colleague, "Cathy, did you hear how he spoke arrogantly just


    now. His pocket might be empty, but his arrogance is immeasurable. Just because you offered to clear


    his mother''s debts, he began to talk big. Let''s be realistic. If you encounter a difficult problem in the


    future, how can a poor man like him help you?"


    Deep down in Cathy''s heart, she didn''t like frivolous men. She agreed that Horace had boasted just


    now. This made her have a bad impression of him. However, she wasn''t in any way influenced by what


    her colleague said about him. She just felt that he shouldn''t have bragged like that.


    When Horace saw the expression on Cathy''s face, he read her mind. He believed that she was thinking


    he was a delusional braggart. Despite his young age, he had more experience than Cathy, who had


    just interned here for a month. He understood human behavior pretty well because he met different


    people while working odd jobs.


    Cathy''s disbelief didn''t make Horace withdraw his offer. He took out a pen and a piece of paper from


    the bedside table. Then he scribbled his phone number and handed the paper to Cathy.


    "Here you go, Cathy. Don''t judge a book by its cover. If you encounter any trouble in the future, just put


    a call through to me!"


    After saying those words confidently, Horace walked towards the door. He held the doorknob and


    added, "Cathy, thanks for offering to clear the debt. You don''t need to do that. I can do it myself. In fact,


    I will go and make the payment now!"


    "Ha-ha!" Horace''s confident words caused Cara tough out loud. She pointed at him and remarked, "I


    don''t believe you. You have been owing the hospital for a long time. Howe you suddenly have the


    money to pay the bills? I don''t trust poor people like you. Why do I suspect that you are trying to run


    away and leave your sick mother behind? Many people have done it in the past, so I will not take any


    chances. Since you say you are going to pay the bills, I will go with you. Hope you don''t mind?"


    With a low voice, she added, "Let''s see how you will be humiliated when you fail or try to run away."


    A bolt of rage surged inside Horace, but he managed to suppress it. He suddenly turned around and


    looked at Cara with a cold glint in his eyes. He remarked, "I don''t care if you follow me or not. You have


    the freedom to move anywhere, and I will not restrict you. But I want to warn you not to drive wedges


    between my mother and me or insult us in the future. If you dare such, I won''t hesitate to teach you an


    unforgettable lesson!"


    A shiver ran down Cara''s spine when she saw Horace''s cold eyes. She wondered why she got scared


    when he threatened her.


    However, her fear onlysted for a few seconds. She reminded herself that he was nothing but a poor


    debtor. She put on a frown and eyed Horace from head to toe. Afterward, she turned to her colleague


    and suggested, "Cathy, why don''t we go and expose this poor man''s gimmicks together. We should


    make sure he doesn''t get away!"


    Without waiting for Cathy''s opinion, she pulled her out of the ward and followed Horace.


    The billing department wasn''t far from the oncology department, where Caylee stayed. Thus, Horace


    soon arrived at the payment window.


    There was no queue since it was still early. No one was in front of the left window, so he went there


    quickly. He took out his nine-star unlimited bank card and his mother''s hospital patient card. He was


    about to slip them through the opening under the ss that separated him from the staff. "Hello, I''m


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    here to sort out my mother''s medical bills and pay for further treatment. Please take out one million


    dors from the card."


    "One million dors? Ha-ha! How dare he say that? I''m sure he doesn''t have one percent of that


    amount!" Caraughed hysterically when she heard Horace''s words. She pointed at the ck bank


    card he was holding andmented, "Cathy, look. Does that ck thing look like a bank card to you?


    Which bank issues such a card? He must have bought that crap from a stall on the street! So poor!"


    Following Cara''s index finger, Cathy looked at the ck bank card in Horace''s hand. Her eyes


    suddenly widened in shock. She couldn''t believe her eyes.


    She stuttered, "Isn''t... Isn''t that an unlimited bank card?"


    Before now, she had been lucky enough to see an unlimited bank card that the top banks in the world


    only issued to elites. The one she had seen had no stars on it. But this one in Horace''s hand had nine


    stars!


    Cathy knew that the unlimited bank card wasn''t the same as the ordinary bank card. It was even very


    difficult for most rich people to get it. It was for the top one percent of the wealthiest people. For this


    reason, it was like a symbol of nobility. This meant that Horace was not a poor man.


    "An unlimited bank card? Cathy, what does that mean?" Cara asked her colleague curiously.


    "Cara, the unlimited bank card is a card that is specially made for top billionaires. It''s not something


    ordinary people can possess. However, I should add that the one Horace is holding is not the regr


    unlimited bank card. This one is different because it has nine stars on it. It must be above the others!"


    "A bank card specially made for top billionaires? Are you kidding me? This man is not a billionaire.


    Look at the way he''s dressed. He must be holding the fake version of the unlimited bank card!" Cara


    stared at the bank card and reyed Cathy''s exnation in her head. She wished she was a billionaire


    and had an unlimited bank card. However, she didn''t believe that Horace''s was the real one.


    Unknown to her, Horace''s card was the real unlimited bank card. More so, it was the most precious


    nine-star version of it. This kind was very rare and was owned only by the world''s top billionaires.


    Ordinary billionaires knew nothing about it. They only had ess to the regr unlimited bank card.


    "Here you go, sir. You have cleared the bills and made an up-front payment for future treatments." The


    voice of the cashier behind the payment window suddenly rang out. She then slipped back the


    unlimited bank card and hospital patient card to Horace.


    "No way!" The cashier''s statement came as a surprise to Cara. She shook her head absentmindedly.


    "This is unbelievable! How can a poor man like him have one million dors?"


    "What? Poor man? What an arrogant woman! You''d better watch your mouth. My financial status has


    nothing to do with you. In fact, you disgust me. You are worse than a poor loser in my eyes. You


    humiliated my mother and me just because we couldn''t pay the bill, but now that I have cleared the


    debt, you still have an issue with it. Are you all right upstairs?" Horace retorted. He couldn''t condone


    her insults anymore.


    In the heat of the moment, a soft voice came from the door of the billing department. "Mr. Warren!"
