Chapter 37 Only One Hundred Thousand
Cherise wrinkled her brows. She started to feel cold as she looked at the message on her cell phone.
Her uncle had just instructed her not to let Mary know that she married a blind man, and now Eriana sent her such a message.
In all likelihood, Eriana must have done something to Elvis because she couldn’t find Cherise.
Cherise shut her eyes and laughed bitterly.
She never thought she would one day worry about such a thing.
When the family was poor, her aunts never cared about them. Now that they knew she had married a rich man, they talked about their familial relationship and asked her for money.
And she… only had three thousand with her. It was the money from her high school scholarship.
When she married Damien, she swore she wouldn’t ask Damien for money other than for Grandma’s medical fees.
They didn’t have an ordinary husband–and–wife relationship, so he had no obligation to care for her financially.
But… Grandma was severely ill. If Eriana really told Mary that Cherise married a blind man, Cherise was afraid that Mary couldn’t take it.
She looked at her cell phone and hesitated for a long time. Ultimately, she secretly went to the garden outside the villa with her cell phone and called Eriana. “Aunt Eriana, how much money do you want?”
“Not much. Your cousin Nicky got into a fight with someone a few days ago. He was hurt so badly that he’s still in the hospital.”
“You’re now married to a wealthy man. It’s only natural that you pay for your cousin’s hospital bill, right?”
On the other end of the phone, Eriana immediately grew demanding when she heard Cherise ask how much she wanted. “Cherise, I’m really not asking for much. You must know that I’m actually helping you. You know about Evaline’s family situation. If she has her eye on you, do you think she’ll be satisfied with such a small amount of money?”
Cherise’s blood froze slightly. “So, Aunt Eriana, how much… are Nicky’s medical fees?”
On the other end of the phone, Eriana laughed. “Not much. Not much at all. Only one hundred
thousand!”
The phone in Cherise’s hands almost fell to the ground.
One hundred thousand!
Nicky was just beaten up by Blake, but his hospitalization fees cost one hundred thousand?
“Aunt Eriana, Grandma’s medical fees cost one hundred thousand when she was severely ill. Nicky has only been hospitalized for three days, right?”
Nicky had only been hospitalized for three days. Why did it cost so much?
On the other end, Eriana’s voice was slightly disdainful. “Why won’t it cost one hundred thousand? Our Nicky was hurt in his crucial area…‘
Before she could finish speaking, she seemed to realize it was embarra*sing, so she coughed lightly and changed the topic. “In any case, Nicky was badly hurt.”
Eriana’s voice suddenly froze, and she paused. “How did you know Nicky has been hospitalized for three days?”
Her son had gotten into a fight outside. He was severely hurt, and his crucial part was almost severed. She didn’t even tell her brother, Elvis, and Cherise had ignored her calls for the past few days. This was the first time she was telling Cherise about Nicky being hospitalized.
Why was Cherise immediately certain that Nicky had been hospitalized for three days?
“Do you know something about Nicky getting beaten up?”
On the phone, Eriana’s voice suddenly went up. “Don’t tell me you had something to do with him getting beaten up?”
