Chapter 903 Afraid of Causing You Trouble
Jennifer seemed to be preoccupied. She looked at Evelyn and asked, "Do I look scary?"
They were both women. Jennifer couldn't figure out why Angela preferred talking to Evelyn. She thought, 'Haven't I been nice enough?'
"Not really," Evelyn replied. Maybe because of her martial arts background, Jennifer always seemed a bit intimidating.
Evelyn also practiced martial arts but wasn't as intense as Jennifer, so she didn't look as serious and tough as Jennifer.
Jennifer felt frustrated but stayed quiet as the door opened again.
Angela peeked in and said, "Come in."
Evelyn and Jennifer walked into the room.
The room was cluttered. They followed Angela into the bedroom, where Amelia was lying on the bed, looking worse than yesterday.
"Dr. Kyte, what are you doing here?" Amelia was surprised to see Evelyn. When Angela mentioned Dr. Kyte was at the door, she thought it was a mistake. She didn't expect it to really be Evelyn.
Evelyn walked over, feeling mixed emotions. "Where's Alice?"
"She's downstairs playing with some kids," Amelia replied.
Evelyn sat by the bed and said, "We found a way to cover your surgery costs. You can have the surgery safely."
"Dr. Kyte, I appreciate it, but I can't let you pay for me," Amelia said, thinking Evelyn was offering to cover the costs herself.
Evelyn shook her head. "It's not me. A charity organization will cover the surgery costs for free."
Amelia was shocked and didn't say anything for a while.
Angela quickly smiled. "Really? Is there such a thing?"
Angela didn't want to see Amelia die but couldn't afford the surgery either.
"Yes. I was going to tell you this morning, but you got discharged yesterday," Evelyn said, pretending to be angry, making Amelia feel guilty.
Amelia lowered her head and said softly, "I didn't want to trouble you."
She thought getting discharged a day earlier would save some money.
Evelyn wasn't really mad. Seeing Amelia like this, she felt guilty too. She comforted her, "It's all good now. You don't have to worry about the costs. Come back to the hospital and continue the chemotherapy. In two weeks, you can have the surgery."
"Dr. Kyte, are you serious?" Amelia was worried, thinking it was too good to be true.
"Why would I lie? Isn't this good news for you?" Evelyn didn't get why Amelia was hesitating.
Jennifer, standing by, couldn't take it anymore and said bluntly, "If you don't get the surgery, you'll die. Who will take care of Alice then? Your husband is probably busy marrying someone else. Does he have time for your daughter? Are you sure Alice will have a good life with him?"
Evelyn had asked Jennifer to look into Amelia's situation, so naturally, she also looked into Amelia's husband. What she found out about Amelia's husband was shocking. She didn't expect Quentin to be such a jerk.
