Cupid's Arrow Hit On Me novel (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 184

The hospital bills were covered by Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt’s savings for now.

Old Mr. Hunt said that his children and grandchildren should chip in to pay the bills once Old Mrs. Hunt could be discharged from the hospital. As for the cost that Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt had borne, the children and grandchildren were to return the money to them. It did not feel right for old folks like them to carry on living without any money at hand.

The old folks might be money-hungry, but they knew their children and grandchildren would not be so nice if they had nothing left to their name.

It was better to count on a wad of cash than their birth children.

Since the old couple had savings of several hundred thousand dollars, the children would only receive about a hundred thousand bucks per family if split evenly. Still, nobody was going to say no to free cash.

With the nurse coming in with yesterday’s charges, Old Mr. Hunt picked it up for a look. Scowling, he said, “It hasn’t been a few days, but we’re almost running out of money.”

Old Mr. Hunt told his children, “Discuss among yourselves the amount to fork out. Pool the money and pay the bill tomorrow before the hospital starts asking for it.”

“Dad, have you spent all of your money?” The oldest son of the family asked.

Old Mr. Hunt glared at him. “What? Not happy to pay? Do you think your mom and I can afford to burn through cash like this? How many of you contributed since your mom fell sick? Your mom and I raised you and helped you to settle down. Now that your mom is sick, shouldn’t you pay the medical fees?”

The oldest son immediately retorted, “Dad, we’re not saying that we won’t pay, but we don’t know how much it’s going to cost in total. The hospital stay has been hemorrhaging cash for the past few days.”

Even though they were quite well off now, their mother’s hospitalization was bleeding them dry.

The oldest son felt the pain at the thought of paying for it.
