Chapter 1147 Is Hospital A ce For You To Gossip


    Sheryl actually understood that the public would definitely misunderstand and even defame her after


    she was forced to confess to the porn-photos scandal. But at this point, others''ments and opinions


    were not important to her at all. The most important thing was that she needed to visit Nancy.


    If Nancy had truly gotten severely hurt due to the kidnapping, it would be very bad news.


    "Is the hospital a ce for you to gossip?" Charles spoke sharply to the people whispering around


    them. He couldn''t bear the thought that someone wanted to nder Sheryl.


    Maybe it was Charles''s stern tone that scared the gossipers away. Those curious hospital staff


    immediately returned to focus on their job upon hearing Charles'' words.


    The patients who were bystanders also walked back to their wards after realizing there was nothing to


    expect.


    "Excuse me, was a patient named Nancy sent here this afternoon? Which ward is she in now?"


    Charles asked a nurse in a calm voice.


    "Nancy? Is she the patient who is still unconscious?" Slightly surprised that the cold president would


    speak to her, the young nurse checked her files. "Yes,"


    Charles nodded. "And which room is she in?"


    "Room 302, the one on the corner to your right," the nurse replied after checking the patient record.


    She felt very shy around Charles and could feel herself blushing uncontrobly.


    The man standing in front of her was that famous president who was envied by many people. And he


    was talking to her of all people!


    His wife had cheated on him and confessed to her affair at the live press conference. And now he was


    here talking to her. How lucky she was! Maybe if she performed well, he would notice her and maybe


    even fall in love with her.


    If this happened, it would no doubt be the peak of her life.


    "Hello? Hello? Can you hear me? They''ve already left," another nurse said, bringing her back to reality.


    Shaking her head quickly to get her senses back, the nurse looked around hoping to spot Charles. To

    her surprise, she found that he was holding his wife''s hand as they walked together toward the ward.


    Merely judging from their backs, one could tell how much this cold president loved his wife.


    The scene witnessed by these young nurses made all of them envy Sheryl.


    But all they could do was to envy. It was clear they had no chance.


    While the nurses were still green with envy, Sheryl and Charles had already arrived at the ward, which


    was equipped with three beds. Nancyy in the bed sandwiched between the other two, which were


    also upied by patients.


    The ward was very small. Nancy''s son was already sitting with her and now, with Charles and Sheryl


    entering the ward, it was bing quite packed. There was so little room that it would be difficult for


    anyone else to fit.


    Seeing the family arrive, the man sitting beside Nancy''s bed suddenly stood up and opened his mouth


    in an attempt to say something. But he finally gave up as he wasn''t sure how to express his feelings.


    On the one hand, he felt unhappy about how they chose to ignore Nancy''s injury. On the other hand,


    his family had to depend on Charles and Sheryl in order to survive.


    He felt so helpless.


    "How is Nancy now?" Sheryl broke the awkward silence and asked about Nancy''s condition.


    "Mom has been unconscious all this time. The doctor has given her an injection, but it still hasn''t


    worked. So we''ve just been trying to wait patiently," the man exined. After Brent''s death, Nancy


    treated her nephew like her own son, and he began to call her "Mom" since then.


    The man exined to Sheryl and Charles what the doctor had told him.


    "Nancy, please wake up. It''s rk. Shirley and I are both safe now. We''re right here with you," rk


    tried to waken Nancy. Seeing Nancy in the bed surrounded by tubes and various pieces of medical


    equipment, rk felt heart-broken. He couldn''t hold back the tears from streaming down his cheeks.


    It was Nancy who took care of the two kids. So they undoubtedly felt a deep connection to Nancy.


    Of course Nancy didn''t reply to rk''s words.


    "Mr. Lu, now that you''re here, I have something to talk to you," Nancy''s nephew finally asked as he


    rubbed his hands with hesitation.


    "Go ahead," Charles prompted calmly, failing to make eye contact with the young man.


    Charles had already assumed what he wanted to talk to him about.


    After all Nancy got injured and went into aa while working in his house. Her nephew must want to


    ask for some sort ofpensation.


    Charles also knew this was a reasonable response, so he was willing to pay the money. But he just


    didn''t know how much Nancy''s nephew would ask for. Would he demand an outrageous price?


    No matter how Nancy got injured or what kind of person her nephew was, Charles learned from his


    years of business experience that he must stay calm. Only when he was calm could he think about this


    matter clearly and fairly.


    "Mr. Lu, as you know, we are justmon people. We don''t have much money to pay the medical bills


    for Mom…" Nancy''s nephew began to speak, continuing to rub his hands nervously. His voice


    eventually trailed off as he became less emboldened.


    But Charles just smiled at him gently. He could see now the kind of person the young man was. In a


    faint voice, Charles asked, "You are Nancy''s son?"


    "No. Actually, I''m her nephew. But after Brent''s death, Aunt Nancy has treated me as her own son, and


    I began to call her ''Mom, ''" the young man exined. "My name is Ben Jin."


    "Don''t worry. I will pay all the medical bills for Nancy. Moreover, we will pay you somepensation.


    Although thepensation won''t be much, it is a token of my regard. Also, this ward is in unfit


    condition. I will call up the director of the hospital in a bit and ask him to arrange a better ward for


    Nancy," Charles promised faintly.


    This was wonderful news to Ben Jin. After all, Nancy was ina and no one knew when she would


    wake up. He didn''t know how much money he had to pay for Nancy''s medical treatment. To be honest,


    his family was not rich and wouldn''te close to being able to afford the pricey medical bills. His


    house had been bought with a bank loan, so he had to pay the monthly mortgage. And he had to pay


    his kid''s tuition fees…


    But this was life and life was often difficult. There was nothing that people like him could really do about


    it.


    "Thank you so much, Mr. Lu. Thank you." Ben Jin expressed his gratitude profusely and heaved a deep


    sigh of relief. As long as Charles was willing to pay the medical bills, he could keep his head above


    water.


    "You''re wee, Ben. It is we who should apologize to you. I am so sorry that Nancy got injured while


    working at Dream Garden," Charles responded apologetically.


    "No, no, no. Mr. Lu, you don''t need to apologize to me. As long as you are willing to pay…" His voice


    trailed off. He was about to say that as long as Charles was willing to pay the bills, he had already done


    him a huge favor. But before the words escaped his mouth, he hesitated, feeling slightly ashamed to


    admit this.


    Charles naturally knew what he was going to say and also understood his embarrassment. But he


    pretended not to know and instead took his phone out to call the director of the hospital.
