Jessica immediately said, “I don’t think our company will get better in ten years, let alone two years.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“We can’t do it in two years.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Their attitude was clear. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They didn’t want to pay. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
My heart was cold. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jessica looked at Marlin, “or we can transfer Mom to another hospital. It’s not expensive there. We can hire a more expensive paramedic.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They were cunning. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I paid for the hospital. They paid for the paramedic. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Paramedic’s monthly salary was as much as the two-day hospitalization fee. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I had no choice. I didn’t want Sherry’s ventilator turned off so early. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Marlin agreed with Jessica’s proposal. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They immediately called and found a hospital not far from Sacred Heart Hospital. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It cost 5000 dollars a day to stay here. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was much cheaper. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The next day, they transferred Sherry. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I went to the hospital. Its condition was poor, but I had no choice. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Only in this way could I have no worries. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I contacted the moving company on Sunday to move. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Although my new house was small, I thought it was very warm. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was managed by a professional apartment company. The room was very clean so I didn’t need to clean it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I liked Murray’s paintings very much at the resort. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was free in the afternoon so I bought some painting tools. I wanted to start painting again. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Only when you went out could you have a surprise. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As soon as I got out of the subway station, I saw a car stop at the intersection. A woman got out of the car. I recognized Molly at a glance. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
How could she be here? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Soon I saw a man get off the car. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I met this man not long ago. I knew him very well. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was Luke, Sean’s former assistant. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was afraid they would see me, so I quickly backed away and hid next to the subway station. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I saw them hugging. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke gave the car key to the waiter. They went into a hotel in front of them. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I quickly took out my cell phone and took a picture. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked up and saw this is a love hotel. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This kind of hotel came from Japan. It was for lovers. Every room in the hotel was decorated in a different style. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
What were they doing here? It was self-evident. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t expect them to have an affair. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I couldn’t help recalling everything that happened before. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t think Luke and Molly seemed to be completely unrelated, especially long ago. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I went to the Giant group, I heard him make a phone call. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought he was probably calling Molly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked up and took a picture of the hotel’s name and sent them to Sean’s mailbox. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought even though Sean loved Molly very much, he couldn’t tolerate being betrayed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t follow them. I bought painting tools and went home. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was in a good mood and wanted to eat delicious food. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I called Daisy but she wasn’t in York. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I went out to eat alone. I got a call from Marlin while I was eating. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I hesitated for a moment. I was worried about Sherry so I answered the phone. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“June, have you had dinner?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I heard Marlin. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His voice sounded a little sad and depressed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His tone was not as haughty as it used to be. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I had doubts and looked at my dinner and said, “I’m having dinner.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’ve booked a private room in a restaurant tomorrow evening. Our family hasn’t been together for a long time.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Marlin’s voice now sounded so kind. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought of what I did during the day. I couldn’t promise. I said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Carter. I was raised in an orphanage. I can’t eat in that place.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Don’t say that.” Marlin’s voice was full of apologies. “You’re very kind to your grandmother, and I’m ashamed. Because as you said, she is your grandmother and my mother. I just want to thank you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
To be honest, if someone else told me that, I would believe it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I didn’t believe Marlin at all. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’m sorry. I’m busy. I can’t promise.” I looked down at the dinner in front of me. “I’ll hang up first.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I hung up. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t give Marlin a chance to talk. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought it was over. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The next day when I came out from work, I saw Marlin standing at the door. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He became more haggard. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When he saw me, he quickly came up to me and said, “June, I’ve made a reservation.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I had never been treated like this since I first knew Marlin was my father. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at him and smiled, “Mr. Carter, I don’t eat dinner. You can say it directly.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Marlin seemed embarrassed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At last he took me to a coffee shop. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After we ordered the coffee, Marlin said, “June, your grandmother was transferred to another hospital. She only spends more than 100000 dollars a month. You have a lot of money left, don’t you?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I suddenly understood why he came to me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He wanted my money. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Enough.” I pushed the coffee in front of me and took a hundred dollars out of my bag and put it on the table. I said, “I’ll use the money to pay for grandma’s hospitalization. I will not lend money to anyone. Of course, I will not spend the money.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
With that, I got up and left. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Marlin caught up with me when I got to the door. He said eagerly, “June, I just want to borrow money from you. My company needs a lot of money recently.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’m sorry. It is impossible.” I firmly refused. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Grandma now spent more than 100000 dollars a month. To be honest, I can’t make so much money myself. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
So I couldn’t spend it! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“June.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Mr. Carter, call me June. Have you forgotten that you have broken off your relationship with me?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I finished, Marlin raised her hand and slapped me in the face. Then he scolded me, “June, you’re shameless! The house was bought by Carter Family. You have to give me the money today!” <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
