Chapter 37
Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 37 Only One Hundred Thousand
Cherise wrinkled her brows. She started to feel cold as she looked at the message on her cell phone.
Her uncle had just instructed her not to let Mary know that she married a blind man, and now Eriana
sent her such a message.
In all likelihood, Eriana must have done something to Elvis because she couldnât find Cherise.
Cherise shut her eyes and laughed bitterly.
She never thought she would one day worry about such a thing.
When the family was poor, her aunts never cared about them. Now that they knew she had married a
rich man, they talked about their familial relationship and asked her for money.
And she⦠only had three thousand with her. It was the money from her high school scholarship.
When she married Damien, she swore she wouldnât ask Damien for money other than for Grandmaâs
medical fees.
They didnât have an ordinary husbandâandâwife relationship, so he had no obligation to care for her
financially.
But⦠Grandma was severely ill. If Eriana really told Mary that Cherise married a blind man, Cherise
was afraid that Mary couldnât take it.
She looked at her cell phone and hesitated for a long time. Ultimately, she secretly went to the garden
outside the villa with her cell phone and called Eriana. âAunt Eriana, how much money do you want?â
âNot much. Your cousin Nicky got into a fight with someone a few days ago. He was hurt so badly that
heâs still in the hospital.â
âYouâre now married to a wealthy man. Itâs only natural that you pay for your cousinâs hospital bill,
right?â
On the other end of the phone, Eriana immediately grew demanding when she heard Cherise ask how
much she wanted. âCherise, Iâm really not asking for much. You must know that Iâm actually helping
you. You know about Evalineâs family situation. If she has her eye on you, do you think sheâll be
satisfied with such a small amount of money?â
Cheriseâs blood froze slightly. âSo, Aunt Eriana, how much⦠are Nickyâs medical fees?â
On the other end of the phone, Eriana laughed. âNot much. Not much at all. Only one hundred
thousand!â
The phone in Cheriseâs hands almost fell to the ground.
One hundred thousand!
Nicky was just beaten up by Blake, but his hospitalization fees cost one hundred thousand?
âAunt Eriana, Grandmaâs medical fees cost one hundred thousand when she was severely ill. Nicky
has only been hospitalized for three days, right?â
Nicky had only been hospitalized for three days. Why did it cost so much?
On the other end, Erianaâs voice was slightly disdainful. âWhy wonât it cost one hundred thousand? Our
Nicky was hurt in his crucial areaâ¦â
Before she could finish speaking, she seemed to realize it was embarrassing, so she coughed lightly
and changed the topic. âIn any case, Nicky was badly hurt.â
Erianaâs voice suddenly froze, and she paused. âHow did you know Nicky has been hospitalized for
three days?â
Her son had gotten into a fight outside. He was severely hurt, and his crucial part was almost severed.
She didnât even tell her brother, Elvis, and Cherise had ignored her calls for the past few days. This
was the first time she was telling Cherise about Nicky being hospitalized.
Why was Cherise immediately certain that Nicky had been hospitalized for three days?
âDo you know something about Nicky getting beaten up?â
On the phone, Erianaâs voice suddenly went up. âDonât tell me you had something to do with him
getting beaten up?â
