Alina had been taking care of Michael in the hospital for three whole days.
Three days later, Michael finally regained consciousness. Alina was ecstatic. "Mike, how are you feeling?"
Michael was very weak, but he still squeezed out a smile. "I'm fine!"
On the other hand, Morgan was relatively calm. When he realized Michael had woke up, he immediately rang the bell and called the doctor.
The doctor came in to see Michael's condition and arranged for another operation in the afternoon.
A nurse told Alina that she had to pay 200 thousand dollars as a deposit before the surgery. There was not much money left from the previous deposit. The second operation was more extensive and needed more materials. After the operation, money was also needed for Mike's medications and rehabilitation which was not cheap as well.
Alina readily agreed. She went back to the ward and asked Morgan to take care of Michael. Then, she left the hospital hastily.
She could not afford to pay 200 thousand dollars immediately. However, she had a solution in mind. If money was insufficient, she would use the five million dollars from Wilson to pay for Mike's medical bills. She would return it to Wilson when she had saved enough money.
She hurried to the bank and waited for a long time before it was her turn. She immediately handed over the cheque.
The counter staff took the cheque and politely said, "Miss, this cheque is invalid. Please contact the payer to rewrite another cheque!"
"The cheque is invalid? What should I do now?" Alina was frantic. How could she ask Wilson for another cheque?
But if she kept silent, who would pay for Mike's medical bills? Mike was injured because of her, so she would not accept compensation from the company. Alina hoped that when he recovered, the money would be given to Mike as compensation for the trauma, not to pay for his medical bills.
"Are you in a hurry for cash?" Alina heard a familiar voice. It was Wilson.
Alina looked up and saw Wilson standing two meters away from her, dressed in a sharp suit. He had a faint smile on his lips.
