Chapter 159
Falling for My Contractual Wife
While in the attending doctorâs office at the hospital, Grace asked, âDoctor, what is the cost of my brotherâs surgery?â
âI suggest you prepare about 200 thousand dollars for the surgery and subsequent treatment.â
Daisy almost fainted when she heard this mumber.
Grace pursed his lips and said, âDoctor, please give me some time. I will definitely think of a way to gather it.â
Grace looked at the contact list in her hand. The first person she could think of was Justin, but the first person she rejected was also Justin.
Because she owed Justin already.
02 2 02 20 Grace finally called Nancy. However, Nancy was just an ordinary office worker and did not have any family background. She could only lend Grace 40 thousand dollars.
Moreover, 40 thousand dollars were all her savings.
Grace felt immense gratitude and excitement. Forty thousand dollars was a substantial sum, and Nancy, having grasped Graceâs situation and recognizing the challenges she faced in repaying the amount, generously provided assistance. Grace couldnât have asked for more of Nancyâs help.
When Daisy saw that Grace had returned from the call, she hurriedly went forward and asked, âHow is it?â
âI borrowed 40 thousand dollars.â
Daisy said anxiously, âThatâs still far from it. Grace, why donât you go and beg Brian? Heâs so rich. Go and beg him. Say something nice. He might give it to you.â
Without hesitation, Grace declined, stating, âHe wonât. Heâs marrying Louise now. Louise harbors strong resentment towards me. Going to Brian is like courting death.â
âThatâs it Letâs go find Dr. Vance. Iâll give him a call.â Daisy said as she reached for her phone.
Grace hurriedly snatched her phone away. âWhat are you doing?â
Daisy was so angry that she roared, âYou canât do this or that? Then what exactly do you want? Do you want your brother to wait for death?â
Frederick, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said, âSell the house.â
Daisy widened her eyes and looked at him. âNo. If we sell it, where will our family live?â
âThe most important thing now is to save your life. Frederick looked at her and roared, âIf you lose your life, you can only live in the mud! If you save your life, you can still earn money to buy a house. Who asked you to play cards all day long and lose so much money? Think about it. How much money can Grace give you? You lost everything.
Daisy looked at him in a daze. This was the first time Frederick dared to shout at her like this.
Daisy was soungry that she stomped her feet. âSo what if I play cards? I also have times when I win.â
Dreame Graceâs head hurt from her sharp voice. She pressed her temples and said in a low voice, âStop arguing. Just do as Dad says.
Daisy collapsed to the ground.
Their houses were not easy to sell at all because they were located in the countryside and were selfâ
built, which made them even harder to sell.
The house had been on the Internet for two days and no one cared about it.
The family sat in Carsonâs hospital room, feeling bewildered.
At this moment, the attending doctor suddenly knocked on the door with a smile.
Grace turned around and looked at him. âDoctor, whatâs wrong? From the looks of it, is there any good news?â
The attending doctor smiled and said, âGood news! Great news! Weâve reported your situation to our superiors. We think your brotherâs condition is special, so weâve decided to do this surgery for free for the patient as a medical analysis in the future.â
The family widened their eyes in surprise and forgot to speak for a moment.
Grace asked in disbelief. âAre you serious?â
âOf course itâs true. However, our hospital has a condition.â
