Sharon narrowed her eyes skeptically. "Hazel, what did you do?"
"Wow, Madam, you're such a genius."
Sharon was at a loss for words.
She was right! Hazel did do something yesterday!
Hazel pointed to the soup Sharon was drinking. "This is the wonderful prescription that I've found. It is good for both men and women. Young Master had drunk two bowls last night, so... Ahem, this is the best out of the best. Madam, drink more, you will have a baby boy in the future."
Puff!
Sharon coughed up all the soup and threw the bowl away as if she touched a hot potato.
"You're a bad influence, Hazel! A bad influence!" Sharon cursed inside her.
A baby?
How could she have a baby with him?
She had never thought of spending the rest of her life with Stanley, let alone giving birth to a baby with him!
"Hazel, I gotta go. I'm going to be late for school."
Sharon was too frightened to eat and quickly found an excuse to slip away.
She rushed to the bus stop, panting heavily. Only when she got on the bus did she heave a sigh of relief.
Her mind was in a mess again when she thought of what Hazel said. No, she had to quickly find a job and start earning money. A negotiation with Stanley would only be valid when she got money in her hands.
She depended on him for her living expenses and her father's medical expenses. Hence, she didn't even have the right to say no in front of him.
She must have sufficient capital in her hands in order to earn the right to speak.
Before she went to school, she dropped by the hospital to see Dr. Dixion and asked him about the hospital bills. He reassured her that the payment was done early in the morning.
She thought that Stanley was pretty good at keeping his words. He said that he would settle it today, and indeed, he settled it perfectly.
Before leaving, Sharon asked Dr. Dixion for the medical receipt. Dr. Dixion was curious.
