Chapter 422
Huey was happy inside, seeing Nana’s worried expression. However, he did his best to look hesitant.
“Well, for the sake of our past relationship, I can let you go this time. Let’s see, if you don’t have money to compensate me, you can still compensate me with something else…”
“What do you mean?” Nana asked in confusion.
“I want you to stay in the hospital and take care of me for free for a month. After that, we will be even. What do you think?”
After saying that, Huey winked at his lawyer, who immediately took out a contract.
The contract stated that Party B, Nana, was to take care of Party A, Huey, for free for one month. During this period, Party B had to unconditionally obey any request from Party A. After the period of one month, the debt would be cleared.
“It’s an unfair contract. You can’t sign that, Nana.”
After reading the contract, Eliana strongly objected to Nana signing it.
It was obvious that Huey had ulterior motives. If Nana signed the contract, she would be at his mercy.
“Well, if she doesn’t sign it, she will have to compensate me and pay the medical bill. If she can’t afford it, we will meet in court. At that time, Nana, you will certainly regret not having not signed.”
Huey didn’t mind openly threatening Nana.
“Okay! I’ll sign it!”
Nana’s hands trembled at the thought of the risky commitment she was about to take. However, she seemed to have made up her mind.
“Nana!”
Before Nana could do anything rash, Eliana grabbed her hand and shook her head.
She felt something was wrong.
“Eliana, I have no choice…” Nana’s said sadly. Her face was pale and her eyes were filled with tears.
“Wait!”
Eliana picked up the hospital bill again and studied it carefully.
After reading the whole list, she found that many of the drugs prescribed in the bill were strange.
Huey had suffered only bruises on his body, but had been prescribed several medications for psychiatric conditions.
That wasn’t normal at all.
Could it be… These bills were definitely not for Huey!
“Nana, look. There is something wrong with the medicines prescribed on this bill. I think the bill may be fake. Don’t let this bastard fool you.”
As Eliana spoke, she showed the bill to Nana.
“What do you know about drugs? Are you a doctor? Look, all these drugs were prescribed to me by the doctor. Is that how you expect to get out of it?”
“I don’t know much about drugs, but I can ask another doctor to check this bill.”
After saying that, Eliana turned around and was about to go outside to call another doctor when Huey’s lawyer stood in her way.
“Miss, we haven’t reached an agreement on the compensation terms yet. No one can get out of this room until we strike a deal!”
“That’s blackmail,” Eliana said, gritting her teeth. Then, she looked at Nana and said seriously, “Nana, don’t sign it!”
Huey chose to simply ignore Eliana.
He didn’t know much about this friend of Nana’s, but he knew Nana well. Nana was soft-hearted and innocent. She certainly wouldn’t let her lover suffer. Huey guessed that she would choose to bear everything on her own.
Just as Huey had guessed, Nana didn’t listen to Eliana at all. She had already made up her mind.
She picked up the pen and stared at Huey blankly. “I hope you keep your word. We won’t have anything to do with each other after a month.”
“I’ll definitely keep my word,” Huey answered at once.
He was about to achieve his goal. A month was quite enough for him to deceive Nana.
Just as Nana was about to sign the contract, Alvin Perry, the dean of this hospital, came in with a doctor, who wore a mask.
The doctor looked at the man lying on the bed and said hoarsely, “I have to examine Mr. Layton now. Can you all leave the room?”
Huey was annoyed by the doctor’s interruption when Nana was about to sign the contract. Fearing that his deception would be discovered, he glanced at his lawyer.
The lawyer immediately understood what Huey meant and he shouted, “No way!”
“Since you don’t want to leave, are you ready to take full responsibility for what might happen if Mr. Layton’s treatment is delayed?” the doctor said sternly.
Finally, the lawyer had no choice but to leave the ward.
“Doctor, are his injuries that serious?”
Nana stepped forward and inquired about Huey’s condition.
But to her surprise, the doctor held her hand and said softly, “Don’t worry, miss. Everything will be fine.”
At this moment, even though the mask on the doctor’s face covered more than half of his face, Nana still recognized the person in front of her when she looked into his eyes.
“Corbin?” Nana murmured.
Indeed, it was Corbin who was dressed as a doctor. He held her hand tightly and whispered, “Don’t worry. I’m here with you.”
These few words made Nana suddenly feel calm and relaxed.
She felt like as long as he was there with her, everything would be fine.
Nana then withdrew her hand and turned to Eliana. She said in a relaxed tone, “Let’s go. The doctor has to work now.”
“What? We are leaving already? But the problem is not solved yet!”
Eliana was totally confused. She didn’t understand what was going on.
“We will still have plenty of time to discuss and reach an agreement later. If we stay here, we will only delay the doctor’s work.”
After saying that, Nana put her arm around Eliana’s shoulder and pushed her out of the ward.
Once out of the room, Nana turned to the doctor and said sincerely, “Hey, doc… You’re in charge now.”
Corbin nodded silently.
They didn’t really need words when their eyes met.
