Chapter 2292 Be The Death Of Me

Jean did not like coming to the hospital because of the germs.

If there was money in her card, it would be more convenient for her to give money to Jean.

“I don't even have money for a taxi right now. Do you want me to walk to the hospital?” said Jean.

Previously, when he ran out of money, he even sold his motorcycle.

Now, he did not even have a way of getting around.

“So what can you do? You can't starve either. How about this? I'll go ask that stupid girl for some

money. Give me a moment,” said Anna.

“Okay, I'll be waiting to hear from you.” Jean hung up after that.

Nina might not care if he were dead or alive, but there was no way she would ignore Anna.

In the mansion.

Nina was getting ready to go to work when she received a call from Anna.

Nothing good came from Anna's calls, so Nina sat in the car with a slight headache. She waited for

the phone to ring several times before she answered it.

"Yes?"

"Add a few hundred dollars to my card. I need to use it,” Anna asked her for money directly without

beating about the bush.

"What do you need so much money for? I just transferred money to the hospital account the other

day.” Nina frowned. A few hundred dollars was not a lot of money, but giving it to Anna would be

the same as giving it to Jean. She did not want to give her hard-earned money to Jean.

"Why do you care? I said I need to use it, so give it to me. Everything in the hospital requires

money.” Anna was being rude.

Nina frowned. Although Anna's health had been in bad condition, she was already able to be

discharged. The doctor said that her situation did not look too good, but if she just stayed at home

to recuperate, took her medicine regularly, and went to the hospital for check-ups, there would not

be too big of an issue.

However, Anna was reluctant to be discharged from the hospital as she believed that her body was

not in good shape to go home. Hence, she continued to stay in the hospital for several hundred

dollars a day.

Whenever there was a minor problem, she would call the doctor and nurses. The treatment would

cost another thousand.

Basically, all the money she earned was spent on Anna.

However, Anna still did not care about her. Instead, she asked her for more money. “I don't have any

money. If the hospital needs to make a deduction for something, they'll deduct it directly from the

account. Don't think of lying to me. Did Jean ask you for money?”

“So what if he did? He's your brother. You taking care of your brother is the right thing to do!” Anna

did not try to cover it up after she was exposed. Instead, she used her own logic to pressure Nina.

Nina's exasperation boiled over into laughter after Anna told her that it was the right thing to do.

She gripped the steering wheel tightly. “It's my obligation to support you, but it's not my obligation

to support Jean. He's over 30 years old, yet he still needs to depend on someone else? Not only is

he not taking care of you, he even asked you for money, but you're still spoiling him? Make all the

noise you want. I don’t have money anyway!”

“You stupid girl, how could you say such outrageous things. He's your brother, and I'm your

mother!” Anna put her hand on her hips while her face turned red from anger.

“I paid for your medical fees and hired a caregiver for you because you're my mom, and I even

spent money to make sure Jean is okay because he’s my brother, but what about you? The hospital

said you can be discharged, but you insist on being hospitalized to make yourself at ease. He has

hands and feet. He can earn a few thousand dollars a month if he’s willing to work, but all he does is

loaf about. Yet, you still want me to provide for him for the rest of his life? Dream on! I've warned

you before. If you ever give me a hard time, I won't care about either of you ever again!” Nina said

with bloodshot eyes.

She had met biased people before, but she had never met anyone as biased as Anna.

"You damned girl! How dare you? If you don't care about me, I'll just jump off his hospital building

and die,” Anna threatened.

“Jump, then. Jean can extort money from the hospital after you do that. He might even laugh at

your funeral after getting that sum of money.” Nina had become apathetic. If it were not for their

blood relation, she would have simply just ignored the pair of mother and son.

She was a little envious of her father who had long foreseen this happening and was now living in a

different city.

"You... You!"

Nina lowered her gaze and said, “By the way, you said that Jean has no money. But he’s wearing a

thousand-dollar watch. Plus, he got several thousand dollars from Pierre in cash yesterday. He lied

to you. No wonder he’s your son.”

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

After Percy came back yesterday, he told her everything he saw at Bibbler's Tale so that she would

keep an eye out for Jean

Perhaps he might even help Pierre for money.

Percy had intended to arrange a designated driver for her who could also serve as a bodyguard so

that she would be safer when going out.

However, she refused.

Although Jean was capable of betraying her for money, the chances of him doing so would not

come by often. As long as she was a little more careful, she would be fine.

Anna listened to the busy tone on the other end of the call in dismay and hurriedly called Jean.

“Mom, did you get the money?” Jean put his hands on his stomach as he was about to starve to

death.

"You bastard, why did you tell me you have no money when you do? What are you going on

about?” Anna started cursing at him after hearing his voice.

She knew how Nina was. If she wanted to get more money from Nina, she would have to lay low for

the time being.

If not for Jean who came crying and telling her he had no money, she had intended to call Nina a

month later.

Perhaps when Nina was in a better mood, she would be able to get more money without even

trying.

Now, her plan was completely ruined by Jean.

“Mom, who told you I had money? Would I still ask you if I had money?” Jean frowned in frustration.

He had a headache and an upset stomach. All he wanted right now was something to eat to end his

suffering.

He had opened the refrigerator earlier, only to see that Marie did not even leave any food for him—

not even a slice of bread.

“Your sister said that you received money from Mr. Pierre yesterday and you're even wearing a

thousand-dollar watch. How can you not have money?” Anna questioned. She was not asking Jean

for money as Nina had taken care of everything in the hospital, so there was not much she needed

to spend.

“How does she know that?" Jean was dumbfounded. Pierre invited him to Bibbler's Tale for a drink

yesterday, and he even gave him some money, saying that they would be relatives in the future.

He was not asked to do anything, yet he still got paid.

Of course, Jean accepted it as he was in a tight spot. He completely forgot the meaning of the

phrase, “no pain, no gain”

However, the people at Bibbler's Tale all belonged to the upper class, and Nina was not the type of

person who would go there for a drink. How did she find out?

“So, it's true? You're going to be the death of me. I intended to stay quiet for the entire month

before asking her for more money. Now, not only will I not get any money, but I even got cussed

out. If she decides to not pay for my medical bills anymore, you're on your own,” said Anna. She

planned to stay in the hospital for as long as she could. She had no intention of going home.
