Love at first sight novel (Judith Cooper)

Chapter 184

The hospital bills were covered by Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt's savings for now. Old Mr. Hunt said that hischildren and grandchildren should chip in to pay the bills once old Mrs.

Hunt could be discharged from the hospital.

As for the cost that Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt had borne, the children and grandchildren were to return the money to them.

It did not feel right for old folks like them to carry on living without any money athand.

The old folks might be money-hungry, but they knew their children and grandchildren would not be so nice if they had nothing left to their name.

It was better to count on a wad of cash than their birth children Since the old couplehad savings of several hundred thousand dollars, the children would only receive about a hundred thousand bucks per family if split evenly.

Still, nobody was going to say no to free cash.

With the nurse coming in with yesterday's charges, Old Mr.

Hunt picked it up for a look Scowling, he said, "It hasn't been a few days, but we're almost running out of money." old Mr.

Hunt told his children.

"Discuss among yourselves the amount to fork out.

Pool the money and pay the bill tom efore the hospital starts asking for it." "Dad, have you spent all of your money?" The oldest son of thefamily asked.

Old Mr.Hunt glared at him.

"What? Not happy to pay? Do you think your mom and I can afford to bum through cash like this? How many of you contributed since your momfell sick? Your mom and I raised you and helped you to settle down.

Now that your mom is sick, shouldn't you pay the medical fees?" The oldest son immediately retorted, "Dad, we're not saying that we won'tpay, but we don't know how much it's going to cost in total.

The hospital stay has been hemorrhaging cash for the past few days." Even though they were quite welloff now, their mother's hospitalization was bleeding them dry.

The oldest son felt the pain at the thought of paying for it.

No wonder people said that it was all right to be poor but never to get sick"It's all your fault for not getting those brats to cough out the money.

You wouldn't have to pay if you could take hold of them.

If anyone's to be blamed, it's those brats.

I don't care how you do it, but the only way you can back out from paying is by getting Serenity to pick up the tab.".

John had asked a friend to dig up an update on Serenity and found out that Serenity owned a huge bookshopnear Wiltspoon School.

Her business appeared to be doing well.

He heard that Serenity also had an online business which was quite successful too.

Serenity's monthly income could reach up to tens of thousands as John mentioned.

Liberty, who was most assertive back then, had a tough marriage.

She was a stay-at-home inom now and without a penny to her name.

Old Mr.

Hunt believed Liberty should have seen it coming as she had refused to give the relatives a lump sum for family support when she got married. That was karma.

Now she should sleep in the bed she made.

Silence befell the room.

It was excruciating when it was their turn to pay.

The Hunts may have dropped the idea of making Serenity foot the bill before, but now they were back to cracking their heads for Serenity to bear thecost. "That reminds me.

Is John still suspended from work? Is it still a big hoo-ha online?" Old Mr.

Hunt asked Chris.

The old man did not surf the web, so he had no access to the nasty comments online.

It did not affect him in any way.

A few people came to the hospital and lashed out at the Hunts in the first two days, but the hospital's security guards chasedthem away.

The Hunts had called the cops, and the angry netizens practiced self-restraint now with the cops involved.

The most harm they did was blasting hate messages online at the family.

Since then, nobody came to the hospital to chew them out.

No matter what, Old Mrs.

Hunt was a patient who just got out of surgery.

The netizens said that the Hunts we something else.

The netizens might be taken to court by the Hunts should anything har Old Mrs.

Hunt after their tirade.

The netizens would lose a fortune if they had to compensate the family for damages.
