A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 1414

Thinking about her father's medical bills made her flinch.

Fortunately, she had been paid yesterday, and it added more money to her budget. Her money in hand without her salary was definitely not enough.

Her company had paid her three times her basic salary yesterday.

All the overtime she had pulled for almost a month had paid off.

She could afford all her expenses if she started to scrimp.

Estelle decided that she would not only pay the follow-up medical fees but also return Ethan's money.

She did not want to owe anyone.

"Father, you're going to be okay," she murmured, stroking her father's hair. Then, she stood up, left her father's ward, and went to the billing department.

The medical staff handed Estelle her father's information and hospital bill.

She looked through it briefly. The amount was within her budget, and with the reimbursement from her father's health insurance, everything was covered.

She breathed a sigh of relief. After confirming the amount, she slipped the bill into her bag and walked to a nearby bank to withdraw some cash.

Ethan was already at the ward when Estelle returned.

He usually came at this time of day and had never been late.

Estelle approached him with heavy steps.

"There you are," Ethan said by way of greeting.

He could tell that Estelle was in a bad mood, so he was careful with his words.

Estelle walked over to him and handed him an envelope.

She waited for Ethan to accept it.

"What's this? A gift?" Ethan asked with a smile. He took the envelope from Estelle's hand. His face dramatically changed from slight amusement to utter seriousness upon opening the envelope.

"Estelle... What's this for?" Ethan chuckled mirthlessly.

Anyone who was familiar with him knew that laugh. It meant that he was on the verge of anger. Ethan stared at Estelle.

"We're not together anymore, Ethan. I can't let you pay for my father's medical bills anymore," Estelle answered.

After a pause, she added, "But thank you for your help. I appreciate it."

It was difficult to pay off a seemingly endless stream of medical fees with a menial salary.

But regardless, Estelle had no more reason to enjoy the convenience offered by Ethan.

After all, they were broken up.

With a long face, Ethan threw away the envelope.

A gust of wind from an open window scattered the bills all over the room.

Estelle fell silent.

A few moments later, she went to pick up the bills from the floor one by one, stacked them neatly together, and put them back into the envelope. She handed the envelope to Ethan again.

Ethan looked at her with an expressionless face.

Estelle knew he was now angry, but she flashed him a bitter smile.

She had once loved him so much, but she had found out that she was just his rebound.

She had no one to share her pain with.

Estelle sighed and set the envelope on the table. "I will pay for my father's hospital bills from now on. If you're busy with your work, you don't have to come here."
