Chapter 281: Chapter 282

Chapter 282 Victoria thought about all this and couldn’t help but feel sad.

She didn’t understand how she managed to play such a lousy hand, despite having a good set of cards.

The car stopped at the nursing home where Master Moore and Madam Moore resided. Nathan parked the car in the parking lot but had no intention of getting out.

He just stared blankly at the top three superior sanatoriums in this Capital.

“The sanatorium looks nice,” he said with a hidden meaning.

Victoria proudly said, “This is the nursing home that I helped my parents choose after a long time. Not only does this nursing home have a good environment, but every caregiver has a professional qualification certificate. With certified staff, they can take care of the patients more attentively. Since my parents came to this nursing home, their mood has become much happier.”

Nathan looked at her expressionlessly and asked, “How much per month?”

Victoria’s proud expression disappeared, replaced by an awkward smile. “Nathan, money is not the most important thing. You know that my father’s health is not good, the doctor said his prognosis is not very optimistic, so I gritted my teeth and sent him here. I just hope that my father can have an easier time in Chapter 262 the last journey of his life. So even though the price is expensive, it’s worth it. It’s around six figures per month.”

Nathan asked, “Where did the money come from?”

His meticulous personality made Victoria very unhappy.

“You know, I didn’t have a job either, and all my expenses were deducted from the credit card you gave me.”

Nathan’s face grew darker and colder. “Victoria, filial piety is a virtue. However, I hope you can be self–reliant. After all, the money I give you is meant to cover the expenses of our small family. If you plan on making a large expenditure for your parents, please inform me in advance.”

Victoria gritted her teeth as Nathan nitpicked, making her feel embarrassed.

However, she was a sensible person, and she understood that his nitpicking was only because his love for her had disappeared.

“Nathan, you know I have poor health...” Victoria’s usual trick is to play the victim.

But this time, Nathan didn’t stay on track. He actually used it to his advantage. “Victoria, you are my wife, and besides enjoying the benefits I bring you, you also have to take on my debts. You know the situation of our company, the Hill Group, and now we are in a deficit. If you spend recklessly, it will be difficult to fill the gap later, and both of us will have to bear this debt.”

Victoria gritted her teeth and whispered, “So what do you want me to do? Do you want me to transfer my dad out of the Chapter 262 sanatorium?”

Nathan remained silent.

Victoria knew that he didn’t want to spend money on Master Moore, so she raised a more practical question. “Who will take care of him if he is transferred?”

Nathan looked at her in astonishment, “He was your father, aren’t you going to take care of him?”

Victoria just remembered that she had just boasted: she was going back to her parents‘ home to take care of her father.

He forced himself to say, “I... of course, would take care of him.”

Nathan then remained silent.

Victoria came to Master Moore’s room with a heavy heart. It had only been a while since they last saw each other, but Master Moore had already become skin and bones.

When Madam Moore saw Victoria, tears couldn’t help but flow. Her legs were even more immobile now, relying completely on a wheelchair to move stiffly and slowly.

“Victoria, you finally came?”

Madam Moore, as if seeing a lifeline, complained to Victoria, “You have no idea how snobbish the caregivers here are. They bathe Grandfather next door every day, but they only bathe your father every other day. And the difference in food treatment is also apparent. Other families have abalone and sea cucumber every day, but your father and I only have a little minced meat.

Most of the time, they don’t even bother to acknowledge us...

Chapter 27 Victoria was furious. “They abused you, why didn’t you call the police?”

Madam Moore lowered her head and wiped away tears. “They said that those who received good treatment were the ones who gave extra money, and the caregivers treated them differently. For people like us, who don’t have relatives visiting or giving extra money, this is the kind of treatment we should expect.”

Victoria was furious. “What do you mean? Are you blaming me for not coming to see you often? Blaming me for not paying you protection money?”

She thought of Nathan’s deliberate provocation and immediately burst into a resentful roar, “You don’t know how lucky you are. Do you know how much money I have to pay every month for you to live in this nursing home?”

Madam Moore lowered her head and stammered, “Weren’t you the wife of the Hill family? Could this small amount of money really trouble you?”

Victoria shouted, “The Hill family was on the verge of bankruptcy. Nathan was no longer willing to spend money to support you all.”

Madam Moore trembled, looking pitiful as if she had been abandoned.

“Didn’t Lan Cheng always love you very much? Isn’t he afraid of making you angry by treating us like this?”

Victoria weakly said, “That was the past. Now, my relationship with him has deteriorated. Perhaps it won’t be long before I Chapter 782 become the Hill family’s lowly servant.”

Master Moore suddenly trembled and raised his hand, his throat emitting a hoarse voice. “This... is... our retribution.”

Victoria stared at her father in shock and exclaimed, “Dad, do you know what you’re saying?”

Master Moore said again, “We bullied Isabella so much, and now we have received our retribution.” He exhausted his strength and let his hand drop.

Victoria looked at the two elderly people with a sense loneliness, feeling unacknowledged by her own family.

of “Dad, I’m sorry, we can’t afford such a nice sanatorium. We have to leave,” Victoria said.

Master Moore closed his eyes in despair.

Perhaps feeling that his end was near, Master Moore spoke kindly, “Victoria, my time is short. Take good care of your mother in the future. Do not burden yourself with any more. sins.”

Victoria’s eyes were bloodshot as she reluctantly nodded.

“I got it. I will go and handle your discharge procedures.”

After Victoria completed the discharge procedures, the nursing home was forced to interrupt a series of maintenance measures for Master Moore. For example, oxygen therapy, blood glucose monitoring, respiratory index testing, and so on.

Madam Moore saw Master Moore clearly struggling to breathe. Unable to hold back her tears, she pleaded, “Victoria, your father Chapter 203 cannot be separated from these machines. I beg you, please don’t transfer him to another hospital.”

Victoria growled with red eyes, “You speak lightly. If I don’t leave the hospital, who will pay for the enormous medical expenses?

Will you pay?”

Did Madam Moore have a single penny on her? All her expenses had to rely on Victoria’s charity.

She could only bow her head humbly.

The sound of powerful high heels hitting the ground came melodiously.

Madam Moore looked up and saw Thea floating towards her, her eyes lit up.

She turned the wheelchair and rushed towards Thea.

“Thea, I beg you, you have a kind heart, save your dad.”

Victoria’s eyes were shooting fire. “It was all because of her that my father suffered so much, and you’re still asking her to do something?” She glared angrily at Madam Moore.

But her gaze, unintentionally, swept over Thea, and she was shocked by the tremendous change in Thea’s demeanor.
