Chapter 249
Mrs. Parker choked on her tears. “It was a heart attack. The doctor managed to save him, and now they are urging us to pay the fees.”
Afterward, Mrs. Parker looked at Aurelia with anticipation.
Aurelia froze and realized what Mrs. Parker wanted.
It seemed like Mrs. Parker was expecting Aurelia to take care of the expenses,
She suddenly remembered Leslie’s advice not to agree to anything hastily.
“Mrs. Parker, I’m sorry, but I don’t have much money on me. I only have a hundred dollars for living expenses. I’ll ask the nurse if it’s possible to accumulate medical debts for treatment,” she said gingerly.
Mrs. Parker was familiar with hospital procedures due to her husband’s extended hospital stay, so she understood that hospitals wouldn’t neglect a patient in critical condition.

now.”
“Mrs. Parker, I understand. I’ll go find a nurse. Let’s first take care of Mr. Parker’s situation. You can try to call Millie.”
Seeing how helpless Mrs. Parker was, Aurelia couldn’t help but feel sympathetic.
She glanced at Leslie and the two left the room to find nurses and doctors.
After completing the necessary procedures, Aurelia tried calling Millie again. However, the call went to voicemail once more.
