"We can't reach an agreement on the compensation, s o there is no way to deal with it. We can only offer four hundred thousand dollars for compensation, but the family of the deceased wants one million dollars." The manager said.
"But it can’t be postponed any longer, which will have a bad impact on the company. It is best to solve it as soon as possible." Sherman replied.
"You are the person in charge of this project, so you will negotiate with them about the compensation, and then you report it to the company." The manager added. Sherman nodded and said, "I'll try."
She invited the over-emotional family members to her office and made coffee for them. She said a few words of relief first and then mentioned the compensation.
Sure enough, as soon as she mentioned the compensation, the family members strongly objected. Sherman understood their feelings and persuaded them patiently. But they still failed to reach an agreement.
Her cell phone rang and it was Moriah who called, but she didn't answer. After talking to her manager, Sherman went straight to the hospital.
Only she and Billy were left in the ward, and gifts for
Billy had been piled up all over the ward. Sherman's attitude towards Billy was not as cold and harsh as before and was much softer.
He said he wanted to eat porridge, so Sherman went to the bistro on South Lane, bought two bowls of porridge and put them in a vacuum flask.
When Sherman fed him the porridge, a smile touched Billy's peach blossom eyes.
"Do you remember that camping trip? I carried you down the mountain and my hand was injured. You fed me the same way." Billy said.
Sherman didn’t respond. The reason why they could get along so peacefully now was that he was seriously injured to save her.
She kept silent. However, Billy thought she was listening quietly and continued with relish.
When Billy finished his porridge, Dr. Zack entered the ward with a gift in his hand, looking worried and concerned.
