The Ex-Husband's Revenge
The Ex-Husbandâs Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 47 âHow shameless of him!â
âCan you believe his sheer lack of medical ethics when passing those garbage ingredients off as valuable just to fool his patients?â
âYou couldnât be more right! The medication weâre put on is probably the same too!â
The other two patients scoffed and looked at Bowden with even more disdain. At the same time, they were secretly worried that they were similarly tricked by other unethical doctors!
âForget it, Lily. Bowden helped us a lot during this time, and it was his way of showing kindness too.
Letâs just put this matter to rest. My illness is cured too, so thereâs not need for me to stay here anymore. You and Jared should pack up so we can go home as soon as Iâm discharged,â Serena said without explicitly blaming Bowden. After all, her family was neighbors with Bowdenâs family for many years, and she did not want to go too deep into it.
âDischarged? Not so fast! Aunt Serena, you still owe more than seven thousand dollars for the hospitalization and medical expenses. You canât leave until theyâre all paid!â Bowden stopped them at once.
âWe wonât be able to fork out that much money right away, Bowden. Could you help us talk to the hospital and request that they give us a grace period? We can write an IOU to the hospital for the time being, and weâll pay it back as soon as we get some money.â Serena had an embarrassed expression on her face.
Her prolonged hospitalization incurred no small amount in medical expenses. Some of that sum was settled with help from relatives, while others were thanks to Bowdenâs help in giving the hospital a guarantee. The hospital, out of respect for Bowden, broke precedent and allowed her to pay after seeking treatment.
Although Bowden had been a little fishy with the medication, it was an indisputable fact that Bowden helped them.
âI understand the difficulty faced by your family, but the hospital isnât mine. Iâm afraid my hands are tied!
However, I do have another solution!â Bowdenâs eyes flickered.
âAnother solution?â Serena asked suspiciously.
SO âAunt Serena, weâve been neighbors for many years, Iâll just be upfront with you! Iâve liked Lily for a long time now, and sheâs at the age where itâs time to talk about marriage. If you agree to let her marry me, Iâll fork out the expenses for you. You can treat it as my dowry for her! âBowden said bluntly.
âWhat? No way! Iâll never agree to that!â
Lily was taken aback and immediately refused.
Serena, meanwhile, remained silent. Both families knew each other well, and if Bowden was a good character and proposed marriage with sincerity, she would most likely consider it thoroughly.
However, he showed his true colors and unethical behavior when he secretly manipulated the medicinal materials.
His character was also greatly flawed, as evidenced when he took advantage of someone elseâs misfortune to make excessive demands.
She would never marry her daughter off to such a man!
âYou heard her, Bowden. Marriage is something that concerns her lifelong happiness, so I have no say in it!â Serena gave it to him straight.
Jared was not as tactful as his mother. He smiled coldly and chided, âSomeone is dreaming big! Why donât you take a good look at your shortcomings, Bowden? Devious scum like you donât have a right to be with my sister!â
Bowdenâs face turned ashen, then red. He knew that Lilyâs family have always had a good impression of him, and it was only because he tried to gain benefits from those medicinal materials that their impression of him did a 180-degree turn.
With the situation coming to a head and both sides being at odds with each other, he no longer had anything to lose!
âThink clearly, Lily! Iâm a doctor who works at a large hospital, with an annual salary of at least thirty thousand dollars. I have a house and a car, and itâll only take a wave of my hand to have women swarming all over me! Youâre just a secretary who graduated college not too long ago, and your monthly salary is probably around six hundred dollars, max? Your family is poor. You have nothing. And you owe a lot in debt too! Youâre lucky that Iâm even attracted to you!â Bowden remarked with a high and mighty expression.
âHow dare you⦠Youâre shameless, Bowden! You may have a house, a car, and a good job, but Iâll never fall in love with someone like you!â
Lilyâs face turned red with anger. When she recalled that she once treated him as if he was her big brother, she felt nothing but disgust in her heart!
