President's Substitute Wife novel Chapter 361

Looking at the guard, I felt for a moment that if Ming gave him that inkstone, even if the price of inkstone was much more than these money, the guard would not look at it.

The guard took the money and counted it two or three times and said happily, “wait a minute.”

Then he went in and made a phone call.

Two minutes later, I saw a nurse in a down jacket running out.

The nurse was very old and may be in her forties.

After running out, she looked at us and said reluctantly, “come in with me.”

We were looking for someone, so we didn’t care.

We followed the nurse in. I looked around and saw that several trees in the yard were not withered because of winter, but really died.

The whole hospital was dead.

We followed the nurse to the only building.

We went in and the building was quiet. Except for a nurse station in the middle, there were no lights or windows in the corridor on both sides.

There was only one window at the end of the corridor.

The whole hospital looked like a ghost house.

There was a strong smell of disinfectant in the building, which was mixed with a strange smell.

The nurse took us to the nurse station and took out a register and asked, “who are you going to renew?”

“Renew?” I was wondering, “we’re here to visit.”

Hearing what I said, the nurse raised her head and said in shock, “visit?”

“Yes.”

I nodded.

At this time, I had a bad feeling.

Wasn’t there anyone visiting here?

The nurse listened to me and suddenly laughed. Then she lowered her head and said in a cold voice, “I’m sorry. We have no visitors.”

“Why...”

“We renew Margaret.” Ming interrupted me and said.

As soon as the nurse heard the name, she looked up at Ming and then at me. “She? She doesn’t have to pay.”

“Why?”

I got nervous.

What did she mean? Had my mother...

But soon, the nurse said, “someone paid for her 50 years in hospital.”

I tugged Ming and thought of the dark wards on both sides.

Only this nurse could be seen in this large mental hospital.

Was this a good place?

When I was trying to say something, Ming seemed to understand what I mean. He took out his cell phone directly, “one hundred thousand dollars. We need to meet Margaret.”

“Ah?” The nurse froze.

Ming repeated, “I’ll give you a hundred thousand dollars. We need to meet Margaret.”

The nurse didn’t respond at first, but Ming said it again so she did. She immediately nodded and picked up her cell phone.

Ming immediately transferred $100000 to her.

The nurse received the money and stared at her cell phone and looked carefully. She was thrilled to be sure it was $100000. “OK! Come with me!”

She said and began to look for the key in the back cabinet.

I saw her pick up a lot of fifth floor keys and put her cell phone in her pocket and beckon us to go.

The hospital had only five floors.

She took us to the elevator. This elevator was very old-fashioned. It took at least ten seconds to open and close the door. When it rose, it was noisy.
