It had been nearly a month since Amir had arrived in Jewel City. Not only was Beryl affected, but everyone else had also been put in too much trouble.
In the past half a month, although Beryl met with Marcellus every day after class, the frequency of their meeting was not high. Even if they could see each other, they could only stay for a short while before leaving.
Now that Amir could go home to recuperate, she finally had some private space.
Just as Beryl returned to the hospital to pack up her things, Wallis suddenly called. "Beryl, are you back in the ward now?"
"I'm here. I haven't packed up yet." As she spoke, she was putting the water glass on the table into her carry-on bag.
"Open the drawer. There is a bank card under the book."
"A bank card?" Beryl frowned slightly and found a blue bank card under a small notebook according to what Wallis had said. "This is..."
"This is the money I've raised with your father recently. There's a total of 70,000 dollars in it. I know it's not enough to pay off Mr. Perkins's medical expenses, but we can only raise this much now. Your father and I will pay the rest as soon as possible." Wallis deliberately told her now.
She knew that if she said it in front of Beryl, Beryl would definitely persuade them that there was no rush to return the money.
However, as Beryl's parents, Wallis and Amir did not want Beryl to be ashamed to face Marcellus thereafter.
After all, they were mother and daughter. Beryl knew very well what Wallis was thinking. Her eyes suddenly turned red. "Mom, you really don't have to be in such a hurry. Dad has just been discharged from the hospital. He needs money to eat and drink. You..."
"It's okay! No matter what, your father and I have lived our lives together. Besides, I won't make him suffer. I know what to do. Give the money to Mr. Perkins first. Don't delay, okay?" Wallis repeatedly reminded her, afraid that Beryl would not do as she said.
