Mildred's gaze was still fixed on Kingsley. She asked," Sherman, who is he?"
Sherman thought for a moment and said, "He is a good Samaritan. When he saw that I was in trouble, he took me here."
Kingsley's eyebrows twitched slightly, and his thin lips curled up slightly. His black eyes swept across her cheeks.
"Joyce, don't just stand here. Hurry up and get this gentleman a glass of water."
Joyce walked to the water dispenser and got a glass of water. Then she walked in front of him, her cheeks turning slightly red. "Please drink some water.”
Kingsley's cold, thin lips moved, and he calmly refused, "No, thank you."
The corners of his lips curled up. Joyce’s face was red and her heart was beating fast. Even the old Mildred's heart was beating fast.
Then the doctors and nurses came in. The nurses kept looking at Kingsley as if their eyes were glued to him.
"By the way, please pay for the operation and the hospitalization at the reception desk," the doctor said.
Then, Berton looked at Sherman and said, "Sherman, g o ahead. Your mother and I don't have money."
Hearing this, Sherman frowned, "I didn't bring my wallet when I went out. Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
"You're pregnant. We're afraid that you're too anxious on the way to harm the unborn baby, so we didn't dare to tell you. We planned to tell you after the operation," Mildred said.
In fact, the reason why Mildred did not call in advance was that she was afraid that if she told Sherman to pay the medical expenses, Sherman would not come t o the hospital or answer the phone.
Sherman had no choice but to hold back her anger and call Billy. She had to yield to Billy at this moment.
