Murray thought for a moment and nodded, “OK, I rented a house nearby. We can take Margaret there first and then we can make further plans.”
“OK.”
I nodded and turned around.
I arrived at the nurse station. All the nurses looked at me. Their eyes were different, but I knew they were curious.
At first, when I went through the formalities, all the nurses looked at me, but no one spoke.
But towards the end, a nurse said to me, “Miss Jones, I heard you are President Jessop’s former fiancee, right?”
I lowered my head and didn’t speak.
I was waiting to print and wanted to leave.
Although I didn’t speak, all the nurses’ interests were aroused. They looked at me and said happily, “Miss Jones, I’ve seen that video. President Jessop is so big. Are you happy having sex with him?”
I didn’t expect these nurses were concerned not with it but with the past.
I looked up at them and didn’t speak.
But they kept saying, “I want to be President Jessop’s lover, too.”
“Me too. Even if I only have sex with him for one night, I am satisfied. My boyfriend is small now.”
“So is my husband. President Jessop in the video is great. He can last a long time!”
“Yes, I envy that girl!”
I stood by and listened to the nurses, but they were not ashamed.
Finally, a long receipt was printed out.
I saw that the amount of money I should pay was 0.
Ming had already paid Margaret a deposit.
I saw the balance was tens of thousands of dollars less in less than a month.
But I knew I had to pay. I took out my bank card and said to the nurses, “I’ll swipe my card and make up the deposit.”
The nurses were stunned.
But the nurse in charge of the check-out did not refuse. She took my card directly.
When she returned the card to me, she sneered and said, “don’t pretend.”
Several other people looked at me and their attitude was not very good.
These nurses used to flatter me. They were willing to do things for me and they were polite to me.
Now I could only say that they were fickle.
But I was used to it.
I used to have a lot of these experience.
Now that I had made up the money, I didn’t care about their attitude.
I turned around and went to the ward.
When I got to the ward, Murray dressed Margaret. I called Linda and asked her to come here.
Linda didn’t turn me down.
When Murray and Margaret and I got to the underground garage, Linda’s car was parked there. We got in the car and went out from the underground garage. We bypassed the reporters and reached the neighborhood where Murray rented his house in York.
Murray was not poor. Although he didn’t live here, he rented a big house. It had luxurious decoration and complete furniture.
Margaret had been very quiet. She seemed to know something had happened or she knew we were good to her, so she cooperated very well.
