Chapter 371 That's Enough! This Is A Hospital!

Meanwhile, Nina was curled up on the hospital bed, sleeping. However, nightmares continually

tormented her, which made her unable to rest.

The clarion ring of her phone woke her up from her nightmare.

She took a deep breath and saw that it was her mother calling her. Reflexively, she answered the

call.

"Hello, Mom..." she said weakly.

Anna's harsh voice was heard over the phone. "You've finally answered the phone! Do you still

remember that you have a mother? Where have you been for the past month and a half? You don't

come back home, but you also don't call me. What's the point of me raising you, you ingrate? Have

you been sleeping with another man? Get back home this instant! The money that you gave me the

last time is no more. Think of some way to get me more money!"

Nina was covered in a thick blanket, but she could not stop shivering.

The person on the other end of the call was her mother. After Nina went missing for a month and a

half, all she got from her mother was insults and accusations instead of words of comfort.

When her mother finally contacted her, the first thing she asked for was money.

To other people, a mother's love might be the greatest in the world, but to her, it was nothing.

"I'm in the hospital now, Mom. I'm not feeling well. We can talk after I go back. Alright, bye..." Nina

answered weakly and ended the call.

Then, she curled up on the bed like a discarded shrimp.

Silent tears slid down her pale cheeks, which made her look extremely pitiful.

"Ms. Langdon, you've just finished an operation, and you shouldn't be too emotional. If you become

too sad, that might have long-term implications on your health, and that'll be hard to treat.” The

young nurse tried to comfort Nina while changing her drip bottle.

The wound on the stomach was painful, but the pain was nothing compared to the pain in her

heart.

Nina shook her head gently and forcefully swallowed all her grievances.

Even a stranger would take pity on her, but her mother did not. That was a tragedy.

"Hello? Hello? You'd better get the money quickly so that I can bridge some relations for your

brother. I need a lot of money..." When Anna heard the busy tone coming from the other end of the

call, she realized that Nina had hung up, which made her even more furious than ever.

“How dare that girl hang up on me! She needs to be taught a lesson!"

When Anna recalled what her daughter said to her, she frowned with suspicion. Her daughter had

always been healthy, and she even rarely came down with a cold. Why would she suddenly be in the

hospital?

Anna immediately rushed to the hospital that Nina told her over the phone.

Of course, she was not going there to check on her daughter's health but instead to ask for more

money.

Her friend's daughter was named Fifi. Fifi found a rich and influential sugar daddy who pampered

her as long as she was obedient.

Fifi had heard about the situation with the Langdon family from her mother. She met up with Anna

and told her that she had a way to save Jean. 1

Not only that, but she could also introduce Anna to that rich and influential man.

That man was not too powerful, but he had enough influence to sneak a minor criminal out of

prison. He could bail Jean out if she could cough up three million dollars.

Anna was doubtful at first, but she was already friends with Fifi's mother for decades, and Fifi was

very confident that she could manage to get Jean out of prison.

Fifi even said that they could sign a contract if Anna was concerned about the money. If the man

could not bail Jean out, then he would return the three million dollars.

Impulsively, Anna agreed to it.

Even if they could not manage to save her son, the money would be returned to her.

Moreover, whenever she visited her son in prison, he would be bruised and battered.

Not only did her son's tall and strong body become thin and emaciated, but his body would also be

full of injuries. Every visit would always end with her in tears.

Anna knew that her son was suffering in prison. She would have to save him no matter what!

She had gotten a check of two million dollars from her daughter, and she had eighty thousand

dollars in savings. She needed another nine hundred and twenty thousand dollars. How was she, an

unskilled housewife, ever going to get that much money?

Anna remembered that her daughter had easily gotten two million dollars the last time.

She thought that her kind and obedient daughter would give her the amount she wanted, as long

as she asked for it.

Bianca returned to the hospital.

She accessed an ATM at a bank near the hospital and checked her account balance.

It was not much, probably about six months’ worth of her salary.

T Corporation paid its employees well. Even new recruits in T Corporation were better paid than

regular employees in other companies.

She had saved the money so that she could buy a new car, but the money had a more important

use now.

Bianca withdrew the money in several batches.

She planned to give all the money to Nina.

The money might not compensate one-millionth of the trauma that Nina had been through, but

Nina was not working now, and she needed money.

As Bianca walked along the corridor, she could hear Nina's cries and a woman cursing shrilly.

"With your good-for-nothing dad, do you think it's easy raising you? I've single-handedly provided

for you and your brother for all your lives. Don't you know how hard it's been for me all these years?

Now that your brother is in trouble, what's wrong if I ask you to help? You're my daughter. If I don't

ask you for money, who else should I ask?"

The woman's voice sounded familiar. Bianca recognized that it was Anna.

The realization startled her. She hastened her footsteps toward the hospital ward.

"That's enough, Mom! We're in a hospital now! I really don't have any money now, not a single cent.

I've already given you all the money I have. What else do you want me to do? You always ask me for

money, and you've even asked for one million dollars this time. Do you think that I, a lowly wage-

earner that's not even working now, have that much money? You see me lying in the hospital bed,

but you don't even ask me what's wrong! If you cant even show the least bit of concern to me, are

you even my mother?”

Nina pressed on her stomach, trying to endure the pain. Tears fell freely from her face.

She was dressed in loose hospital clothes and her body was covered by a white blanket. Her wound

on her abdomen was hidden from view, and what people could see were her frail body and pale

face.

"How sick can you get?" Anna stood next to the bed and mercilessly poked Nina's forehead with her

finger. "Stop pretending. You've been healthy since you were young. You don't even usually catch a

cold. Cant you take some aspirin if you're sick? Staying in the hospital is just a waste of money!

Don't you know that the family needs a lot of money now?" "Madam, your daughter has just...” The

nurse could not bear to see Nina tormented that way and tried to explain Nina's situation to Anna.

However, Anna immediately shut her up. "Shut your mouth! This is family business. You're only an

outsider!"

Nina leaned languidly on the headboard. The pain in her abdomen was unbearable.

Her mother's heartlessness plunged her into despair.

When Bianca opened the door, she saw Nina's blank stare and silent tears, the young nurse who

dared not make a sound, and Anna who was acting like a shrew.

Bianca was furious when she saw the scene!
