Chapter 670
Carter was not actually that petty.
If it was someone else, he would definitely let the patient use the pacemaker for free. After all, not everyone could afford it. As long as the conditions were met, it was more important to save one’s life.
However, it was a different matter for Henrick.
His money rightfully belonged to Arielle. Now that the opportunity had arisen, Carter planned to extort as much out of Henrick as possible and hand the money to Arielle.
Not knowing how much the robotic pacemaker cost, Henrick agreed quickly, “Of course! I know that it’s donated to the hospital, not to me. I’ll pay for it now.”
Just when Henrick was about to leave, Queenie could not help but chime in, “Sir, do you have enough money? If not, our hospital can provide you with an IOU.”
Thinking that Queenie was looking down on him, Henrick puffed out his chest and asked indignantly, “How is it possible that I can’t afford it?”
Queenie nodded awkwardly. “It’s great that you can afford it. As the machine cost one hundred million, not everyone can pay for it. That’s why I reminded you. I don’t mean to say…”
“What?” Before she could finish her sentence, Henrick interrupted in shock, “How much does it cost?”
“One hundred million.”
“One hundred million? Is it made of gold? Even gold isn’t that expensive! Are you guys scamming me?” Henrick was about to lose his mind.
He thought that a piece of medical equipment would only cost a million or so. Never had he expected it to cost a hundred million.
Is there something wrong with my ears, or is Queenie out of her mind?
Queenie did not expect Henrick to react like that upon hearing the price. In fact, she almost believed that he was a huge billionaire.
The expression on her face turned solemn as she clicked on Sann Group’s website on her phone. She scrolled to the robotic pacemaker and showed it to Henrick.
