Simon was wearing a hospital gown. His hair was messy, and he looked just like an ordinary middle-aged man, far different from his former self. They were in a shared hospital ward, and there were others around, so Be didn''t want to explode in anger. She calmly asked, "What happened?"


    Guilt filled Simon''s eyes. "I''m sorry. I failed in my business and took a delivery job. I got into an ident near this hospital. I didn''t know you worked here..."


    Be wasn''t sure if he was telling the truth. After being deceived too many times, she hesitated to believe him. "You don''t have money for medical bills?"


    Simon furrowed his brows anxiously. "I''ll figure something out."


    Without saying anything, Be turned and left. She headed to the payment desk to settle Simon''s bills. As long as he wasn''t there for her, everything else didn''t matter.N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    With Lana''s big mouth, the news spread everywhere.


    When Ethan found Be, he asked, "Is your father in our hospital?"


    Be frowned. "I don''t have a father."


    Ethan was surprised. "But Lana said..."


    Be was extremely annoyed. "Tell Lana not to spread other people''s business without knowing the details. What good does it do for her?"


    Seeing how irritated Be looked, Ethan quickly said, "I didn''t know you had a bad rtionship with your father. I''ll tell Lana to stop spreading nonsense. I won''t ask anymore. Carry on with your work."


    That evening after work, Be was in the changing room getting dressed when Lana suddenly appeared out of nowhere.


    "There''s nobody taking care of your father! Aren''t you embarrassed for not helping? At least hire a caregiver for him!"


    Be didn''t want to bother with her. After she finished changing, Be grabbed her bag and tried to leave. However, Lana yanked her back.


    "Where do you think you''re going? People like you don''t deserve to be a doctor! You don''t even care about your father''s well-being!"


    Be was also getting angry. She shook Lana''s hand off. "I grew up in the Millers, and I took my mother''sst name, I didn''t know what Simon looked like for over 20 years. Why should care about him? Do you enjoy sticking your nose into other people''s business? Does it give you some sense of achievement? Keep your opinions to yourself until you know the whole picture! You''re so annoying!"


    Lana was furious at Be''s words. "Even if what you said is true, you wouldn''t be here without your father! He''s yourreal father, so you should take


    care of him in his old age ve never seen anyone so heartless! You''re so cold-blooded, you''d be better off working in a funeral home than a hospital!"


    Be took a deep breath and smiled coldly. "When your timees, I''ll happily consider your suggestion to work at a funeral home."


    After saying that, Be turned and left without looking back.


    Lana realized what Be meant and angrily ran after her, only to be stopped by Ethan.


    "What''s wrong with you two now?"


    Lana shoved him away. "Are you afraid I''ll do something to Be? Take a good look at her! How can you like someone as cold-blooded as her I was just trying to tell Ker to take care of her father, yet she cursed me!"


    Ethan sighed as he watched Be walk away. "It''s her family matters. Why are you trying to meddle? She knows how to handle it herself. It wasn''t right of you to interfere to begin with." Lana red fiercely at him. "You''re such a hopeless simp! You''d think she''s perfect even if she was a vampire sucking out blood from others, huh? You''re hopeless!"
