A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1518

“Hello, could you please check the total fees for Mr. Cory Jefferson's stay? He was admitted today,” Larry asked.

Seeing the handsome man who was in a suit, the young nurse behind the counter said enthusiastically, “Please give me a moment, sir. I'll calculate it right away.”

“Thank you.”

He then gave her a polite smile.

No worries.

The young nurse was dumbstruck by his dashing smile. For a moment, she thought she was in paradise.

“Mister, sorry for the wait. Mr. Cory Jefferson will be admitted for four days. He has paid the deposit, so here is the remainder,” the nurse muttered in a sweet voice as she stared at Larry with lovestruck eyes.

“It's strangely little,” Larry mumbled after pausing briefly.

“Could you please check it again?” he asked, worried that the nurse might have made a mistake.

“There's no need to. The amount is definitely correct. Mr. Cory Jefferson has only done the paperwork to be admitted into the hospital. He doesn't need to pay for any medical fees,” the nurse explained.

Why? Larry was even more puzzled after hearing her words.

Is Cory a VIP of the hospital? Why does he not

need to pay for his medical fees?

Seeing the confounded look on Larry's face, the nurse added, “Mr. Jefferson is so strange. He's completely fine without any illnesses or injuries, but he insisted on getting hospitalized. I have no idea what's with that guy.”

“Did you say that he has no injuries?”

Larry was taken aback, unsure about Cory's intentions. “But he said he has minor fractures.”

When the nurse saw the handsome man's puzzled expression, she felt the need to clarify the matter. “Dr. Schmidt was just grumbling about it. Here, this is Mr. Jefferson's bill. There aren't any medical fees listed in it.”

The moment Larry saw the bill, he realized that both Joan and he had been fooled. He's obviously targeting Joan. But why?

Larry did not know what that man was trying to do, so he had to keep his guard up.
