The Contract Lover (Nina Morrison and Lucien Gray) novel Chapter 46

Chapter 46 No Money to Discharge

Nina Morrison wakes up the next morning.

She opens her eyes and only to see a nurse. "Excuse me, where am I, please?" Asks Nina Morrison politely.

"Oh, don't you know? You are in St. Ann's Hospital."

St. Ann's? The city's top private one. Nina's eyes sparkle. Great! Dad is also in this hospital, waiting for surgery!

Lucien Gray has been haunting her for days. She just wants to visit her father today. He's the only family she has.

When the nurse left, Nina Morrison takes off the needle from her hand and walks toward the ICU.

"Nina... You are here... What... Patient clothes?" Barry Morrison, lying on the bed, is very happy to see his daughter. He is now able to say short sentences. Nina is pleased. The pain in the lower abdomen does not seem obvious either.

"Dad, I am fine. I just have a cold. I come to the hospital for an infusion." Nina Morrison replies with ease.

"Nina... Dad, get well, pay back the money. You... have to study hard..." Barry looks at the daughter with relief, naively thinking that the medical expense is really borrowed by his daughter.

"All right. Dad, stop talking and have a good rest." Nina holds dad's hands and asks the nurse next to her, "When is my father's surgery going to take place?"

The nurse shakes her head and says, "I'm not sure. We have to wait for a matching kidney. But your father is too weak to undergo big surgery. He has to get better."
