Chapter 28

Susan’s expression froze momentarily, but she quickly regained her composure and smiled. “No, we can afford it. It’s only 20 thousand a month. It’s not a big deal.”

Lily gave her a sidelong glance before tuming and opening the door to the ward. She called over a nurse, then reached into her pocket and pulled out a card. Handing it to the nurse, she instructed, “I’d like to pay for a year’s treatment.”

As she pulled out her card, Loid’s pupils constricted. A hint of amusement graced his previously cold demeanor.

Shaun’s eyes widened in disbelief. It was a black card. This card was globally limited, held only by individuals with assets worth at least a few billion dollars,

“Wow, Lily is something else! She even has a black card!” Shaun thought

She was no ordinary country bumplin; she was a hidden billionaire.

Lily’s gaze darted toward the group before she calmly looked away. In truth, the black card was given to her by someone else. Years ago, she cured a wealthy man and charged a betty so mition for her services. Over time, she deposited all the money she eamed onto this card

Lily had never checked the balance on the card, nor did she know the exact amount. However, she was certain it was at least a few billion dollars.

This was just an estimate. If she were to check the balance, the actual amount would likely be even higher.

The nurse returned with the bill in a flash. She handed the card back to Lily with a newfound respect in her eyes. “Ms. Brooks, this is your card. Please keep it safe.”

The nurse had never seen a black card before. While processing the payment, her colleague informed her that the owner of such a card had a net worth of at least a few billion dollars. This revelation left the nurse taken aback.

She had been specially assigned to this VIP ward, so she always feared she might make a mistake and upset the wealthy patient.

“Thank you,” Lily politely replied as she took back the card.

Susan had no idea that Lily was holding a black card. With her limited exposure to the world of the elite doe to her social status, Susan was only familiar with debit cards and credit cards. She had never even heard of a black card, and Liam had never mentioned it to her either.

When Lily pulled out the black card to pay, Susan’s first instinct was to assume that Loid had given it to her. It triggered immediate envy.

Within two days of Lily moving into Anmer Heights, Loid had given her a card. Susan thought his generosity was astounding. She was unaware of the card’s balance, but she knew that Belinda’s medical expenses amounted to a staggering 4.8 million.

Despite the hefty sum, Lily had paid it without hesitation, and Loid hadn’t even flinched.

Susan’s thoughts churned with regret. If Shannon had married Loid, given Shannon’s capabilities, she could have easily inherited at least a hundred million before his death. Instead, she gave the best bachelor to Lily. This would only embolden that wretched Lily. Susan would never allow such a thing to happen.

After a moment of silence, Susan walked over to Loid with a smile and said, “Loid, there’s no need for you to worry about the medical expenses. My family can afford it.

“It wouldn’t be good for Lily’s reputation if word got out that you’re covering her grandmother’s medical bills, especially since you two aren’t married yet.”

Loid raised an eyebrow. He looked at Susan with a faint smile. “You’re right”

Susan sighed in relief. “Then I’ll call Liam and tell him to refund the money to you.”

Lold chuckled, amusement flickering in his voice. “I didn’t pay for anything, so why would 1 ask for a refund He stood beside Lily, his expensive attire accentuating his air of refinedelegance and composure.

Susan was taken aback. “But didn’t you just pay for the medical expenses?” she asked, confusion lacing her voice.

Shaun couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “Are you really clueless or pretending to be? The card belongs to Lily. Loid didn’t give her a penny.”

Susan turned to Lily in disbelief. “What? It’s your card?”

How was this possible?

It was over four million.

That was not a small sum

Lily was just a country bumpkin. Where could she have gotten so much money from?
