Chapter 223


    J opened her eyes and looked around at this time.


    The hospital was a top-notch one that had a beautiful environment and was equipped with advanced


    medical equipment. All the wards were single rooms. J didn’t need anyone to tell her that it would


    cost a lot to receive treatment here.


    She didn’t like the thought because she didn’t have much money. Despite not having any serious


    expenses now, she was still poor.


    ‘No, I can’t stay in this hospital. How am I going to pay the bill? Ethan isn’t well-to-do, so who will pay?


    Besides, I’m not seriously ill. There’s no need for me to be hospitalized. I’ll be fine once I take some


    cold medicines.’


    With this thought in mind, J decided to leave. She tugged at her husband’s sleeve and whispered,


    “Ethan, why didn’t you take me to an ordinary hospital? From the look of things, receiving treatment


    here will cost an arm. Although I don’t have any financial pressure on me, I can’t afford to squander so


    much money. Let’s figure out how to leave here.”


    J spoke in a whisper because she didn’t want the doctor who had juste in to hear. She knew


    that it would be inappropriate to leave now that she had been admitted into the ward.


    Ethan looked at her affectionately and rubbed her head slowly. He then said, “Don’t worry, J. It


    won’t cost that much. Besides, the doctor here is my friend. He will give me a huge discount. Just allow


    him to treat you, okay?”


    “Is he really your friend?” J gave him a suspicious look. She didn’t believe what he had just said.


    After all, doctors in such high-end private hospitals were definitely not ordinary people.


    When she saw that Ethan nodded with genuineness in his eyes, she had a vague feeling that his


    connections were too high for someone of his status. It seemed that he knew many people from almost


    all works of life and they were always higher than him.


    ‘I have to admit that this husband of mine seems to be a capable man. He has such strong


    connections, but he’s just an ordinary part-time worker. Why is that so? Something is not adding up!’


    J was a little confused, but she couldn’t think too much because of her illness. She was suffering


    from a splitting headache and her mind was a mess. Now, she decided not to argue or speak for the


    time being.


    “I’ll leave her to you, Frank. I need to get something. Won’t be long. Take care of her, alright?” Ethan


    patted the doctor on the back, nced at J, and left.


    Frank Watson put on a displeased frown on his face while he examined J. He didn’t even ask her


    any questions like normal doctors usually did.


    “Ermm… Sir, please what’s wrong with me?” J stammered. Frank’s first response came in form of


    a re. J’s heart almost jumped to her throat at the sight of this. It seemed like the doctor was


    angry with her for asking that question and that she needed to say herst prayer at this moment. She


    swallowed hard and averted her eyes fearfully.


    “Nothing extraordinary is wrong with you. You just caught a cold. I’ll prescribe some medicine for you,”


    replied Frank casually while writing something on his clipboard.


    J’s lips were sealed as he put her on a drip. Afterward, he took his instruments and walked out of


    the ward. He coincidentally met Ethan in the corridor.


    With a bowl of porridge in his hand, Ethan asked worriedly, “How is she? Is she seriously ill?”


    Frank took off his mask. He had a handsome face, but his skin was pale and morbid as if he hadn’t


    been exposed to the sun for a long time.


    “She just caught a cold. It doesn’t matter if it’s serious or not. She will get better once she takes some


    antibiotics. That aside, why did you bring her here for me to attend to her? Do you how busy I am with


    my research?” Frank grumbled.


    The anxious message he had earlier received from Ethan had put him on edge. He thought the


    situation was serious so he abandoned his research and rushed over.

    Ethan raised his eyebrows and retorted, “Cut the crap, dude. Just do your job. Your research can wait


    until my wife is cured. Besides, I specially asked for you because I believe you are more capable than


    the other doctors. Don’t let me down.”


    These ttering words mixed with a conspicuous tinge of audacity annoyed Frank so much that he


    rolled his eyes at him. He would have fought Ethan if he had enough strength to defeat him.


    “It’s said that prevention is better than cure. Since you are so concerned about your wife’s health, you


    should take care of her so she doesn’t fall sick in the first ce. Don’t interrupt my research again, or


    we are going to have serious issues.” Frank took a nce at the porridge in Ethan’s hand. He then


    turned around and left.
