A One Night Stand With My Boss (by Ela Osaretin) novel Chapter 273

After settling the payment, they returned to the front of the ICU.

Cole slowly stood up from the bench and said to Craig, “Take care of Cami. I’m heading home for a bit.”

Craig nodded in agreement.

The hospital was eerily quiet in the dead of night, broken only occasionally by the hum of machines and the hurried footsteps of nurses.

Camila and Craig sat outside the ICU on a bench. Their figures were lonely under the dim lighting.

Dawn broke. Cole appeared at the end of the corridor, hurrying towards them. He thrust a bank card into Camila’s hand,

“Cami, here’s $200,000. You can cover your mom’s expenses with it.”

Camila stared at him. “Cole...”

Craig also wondered where his father had gotten so much money.

“I don’t have much savings,” Cole said, scratching his head with a goofy smile. “Recently, a young guy wanted to buy my grocery store. Surprisingly, he was quite decisive and came over to sign the contract early this morning.”

Hearing this, Camila was deeply moved. The grocery store had been his labor of love for many years and his only source of income. Now, to pay for her mother’s treatment, he had sold it.

“Cole... you shouldn’t have sold the store. What about your future...” Camila tried to give the bank card back to Cole. “Don’t worry about the money. You’ve met my mom’s goddaughter, Erica. She’s wealthy, but she’s abroad right now. I can borrow from her when she returns.”
