Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 61

After seeing Lina off, I initially wanted to head straight back to school and tell Felicia about it for a laugh. But then, I got a call from the hospital.

Jane's surgery was scheduled for this afternoon, and the doctor asked if I wanted to come by.

Of course, I had to go. She had no family around. If I didn't go, who would?

In the sterile ward, Jane was already dressed in her surgical gown and socks. She looked weighed down and uncomfortable as she curled up on the bed. Her gaze was blank, and it seemed like she was lost in thought.

I couldn't go inside, so I waved to her through the large glass window.

"William!" As soon as she saw me, her face lit up with a smile.

Though I couldn't hear her, I could tell she was calling my name by the shape of her lips. I made a bunch of encouraging hand gestures, and her smile grew even brighter.

"You're the patient's family, right? Can we talk?"

Just then, the doctor walked over and called me into the office. He went over the surgery and post-op care in detail.

Overall, the procedure was simpler than I expected. No surgery was needed. They just had to give her a bone marrow injection. However, whether it would succeed depended on the aftercare.

The surgical fees I paid earlier would be used up today, and aftercare was the real challenge. I understood what he was getting at—he wanted me to pay more.

Without hesitation, I said, "Give her the best treatment plan. I'll cover whatever it costs."

After we finished talking, I went ahead and paid another 20 thousand dollars.

Just as I was about to leave, I saw Joshua stepping out of the elevator. He was accompanied by a somewhat overweight woman in her 40s, dressed flamboyantly and adorned with jewelry on her neck and wrists.
