The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 264

“No way.” Amanda didn’t even hesitate. “Didn’t you just get a bonus a few days ago?”

She somehow even knew about Catherine’s bonus.

“You can always earn more money, but if you lose your life, that’s it.” Amanda tapped her on the arm. “Think about it. You and Lorinda need to send me the two hundred thousand as soon as you can.”

With that, Amanda turned and rushed off.

Catherine stuck her hands in her pockets, staring after Amanda as she disappeared down the hallway.

Once Amanda was out of sight and had entered the room, Catherine looked away. She stood there for a few seconds, collecting her thoughts, then walked over to the nurses’ station.

“Hi, could you tell me who Patty’s attending doctor is?”

The nurse checked quickly. “That would be Dr. Ned.”

Catherine nodded, thanked her, and made her way to Ned’s office.

Dr. Ned was the youngest physician at The Cabinda Hospital. He barely had any real experience and hadn’t performed any surgeries on his own.

When Catherine reached his office, she saw his full name on the door and immediately searched him online.

He’d graduated three years ago and had only worked as a medical assistant since then. It was just last month that he officially became a doctor. Technically, he shouldn’t even be the attending physician on a surgery.

So how did he end up in charge of Patty’s case?

“Catherine.”

A familiar voice called her name.

She turned around and saw Harrell standing at the corner, hands in his pockets, his white coat as crisp as ever.

“Harrell?” Catherine’s brows drew together. “Didn’t you say you wouldn’t be at the hospital for a few days?”

“Thank you,” Catherine said, accepting the water. “She’s a kid from the orphanage. She was diagnosed with leukemia not long ago. Today they finally found a matching bone marrow donor.”

“That’s quick.” Harrell frowned a little. “Some people do get lucky and find a match really fast. What’s worrying you?”

“Ned is her attending doctor. I looked him up. He barely has any experience. He shouldn’t even be in charge of a case like this,” Catherine said, organizing her thoughts out loud.

“And the surgery cost is two hundred thousand more than what the previous doctor estimated. Plus, the last doctor was already prescribing medicine that was way more expensive than what other doctors had suggested.”

Now that she’d calmed down, Catherine realized there were a lot of things that didn’t make sense. Especially when it came to the medical bills.

Harrell thought about it for a moment. “I haven’t been here long, so I don’t really know Ned. I’ll ask around and let you know what I find out tomorrow. About those bills, I can tell you for sure, the costs might go up a bit, but not by that much. I’ll take a look at the paperwork for you.”

“Thank you, Harrell.” Catherine stood up. “I owe you one. I’ll make it up to you someday.”

Harrell stood as well, eyes lowered as he quietly said, “No need for that. Just… don’t hold it against me in the future, Catherine.”
