Chapter 81
If they didnât cut off their mother-son relationship, he was gonna have to cover his momâs medical bills
Thinking about it, he clapped his hands, Letâs go right now, the sooner the betterâ
Robison took off, and the others followed sut
After the troublemakers left, Cornelia slumped back into her chair
She had prepared fake bills in advance, taking advantage of Robisonâs greed to settle the dispute. She won this time, but she still couldnât be happy
She never understood why some people in society have such malice towards women, especially slightly prettier women.
She and the young doctor werenât even close. The young doctor was just trying to help her out of the goodness of his heart, but to people like Robison, it meant she had an affair with him.
Cornelia glanced apologetically at the male doctor, Tm sorry you got dragged into this because of me
The doctor said, âI donât care what they say about you or what your private life is likeâ
In the end, he seemed to think her private life was promiscuous too.
Cornelia laughed it off, âIndeed, my private life is none of your business.â
The doctor was speechless.
Dr. Lopez and the others were still in shock. They never expected Cornelia to be so decisive at such a young age.
Her Grandma interjected, âCornelia, itâs not us who did something wrong, and it shouldnât be us who feel embarrassed. Letâs continue celebrating your birthday, and you can make a wish.â
Corneliaâs wish was simple, the same every year, hoping for her grandmotherâs health and longevity, and for her and her friends to have their wishes come true.
After making her wish, Cornelia invited everyone to have cake.
The young doctor handed Cornelia a giftbox, âI got this for you. Hope you will like it.â He stared at Cornelia, his face flushed red, his intentions obvious
Cornelia was getting a headache. They werenât even familiar with each other. What did he want?
Cornelia wouldnât accept the gift, and the young male doctor became anxious, âCornelia, I really donât care about your past. Please accept my gift, okay?â
He didnât care about her past.
Her past should never have been a stain on her life.
Cornelia looked at him coldly, not sure how to refuse the gift, when her grandmother spoke up again, âYoung man, youâre handsome and have a good job. If Cornelia wasnât married, Id definitely let you be her boyfriend.â
The young male doctor was surprised, âShe got married so young?â
Granny Rebecca nodded, âYep, sheâs been married for over a year. If it werenât for them being so busy with work and not in a hurry to have kids, Iâd have a great-grandchild by nowâ
The young doctor said with disappointment, âWell, congratulations!â
Granny Rebecca. âThank you!â
After everyone left, Cornelia looked at her grandmother, who opened her arms, âCornelia, if you want to cry, just cry. You donât have to hold it in around me.â
