Love's Cunning Ruse novel Chapter 7

The phone call came from the hospital.

Once upon a time, the Abraham family was facing bankruptcy. Julie's sister, Sansa Abraham, intentionally set up Kieran Hernandez in order to help Julie find someone who could protect her. Kieran's grandmother discovered Julie and Kieran's one night stand. To ensure Julie could marry Kieran smoothly, Sansa deliberately leaked the news of Julie's pregnancy to the media.

The impact of public opinion grew stronger and stronger. The Hernandez family also treated Julie's pregnancy news as real. Consequently, Kieran had to propose to Julie and inject a large sum of money into the Abraham Group. Julie thought the Abraham family could turn things around this way. So, even though she deceived Kieran about the pregnancy, she never regretted it.

But she never anticipated her own mother would abscond with money and elope with her lover. Her father was infuriated, suffered a stroke, and passed away. Meanwhile, Sansa, intercepting her mother's elopement by a car, collided with her mother's vehicle. They had a car accident. Her mother's body was thrown off a cliff and never found. While Sansa miraculously survived, she ended up in a vegetative state after the surgery.

Ultimately, the Abraham Group still went bankrupt and was eventually acquired by Kieran's brother, Lucian Hernandez.

After her divorce, Julie's life was tough, but she never gave up on Sansa's treatment. Everything Sansa did back then, including framing Kieran, was to protect Julie. Now, Sansa was her sole family in this world, and Julie couldn't give up on her no matter what.

However, the hospital bills were like an endless pit. No matter how much money she paid, it never seemed enough.

Sansa's attending physician called Julie, saying, "Ms. Abraham, the hospitalization fee for this month was due on the 12th. Now it's already the 25th, and you..."

"I'm sorry, Dr. Brice. I'll definitely clear the payment before the end of the month. Could you please help me with the application again? I appreciate it."

Julie's sincere attitude left Dr. Brice somewhat helpless on the other end of the line. He understood Julie's situation. So, he reluctantly agreed in the end, "Alright, if you can't make the payment by the end of the month. I really can't help you further."

After hanging up, Julie immediately walked into the café.

Her intention was to apologize and go back to work, but she ended up getting fired by her boss.

Julie was practically kicked out of the café. The reason was her boss believed she brought bad luck. Not only did she crash a motorcycle, but she also witnessed someone jumping off a building.
