Everyone was shocked by what Dr. Hale said.
No one expected the Perry family to be like that.
At that moment, Tommy was scrutinized by the crowd with cold eyes.
Tommy was totally speechless with a flushed face.
In the end, he glared at Daisy furiously and stormed out of the ward.
Daisy hurried into the ward and consoled as she patted Sophie on her back, “Ms. Burton, it’s fine. Please ignore that asshole. You will get better soon. I am calling Mr. Hughes to come over now.”
Sophie held onto Daisy with a deep breath, “Don’t… don’t let him know. I’m, just fine.”
“But…” Daisy hesitated.
Sophie shook her head, “Jack is too busy. Better not get him bothered.”
Dr. Hale walked in at this moment.
He frowned worriedly at Sophie and said, “Ms. Burton, I’ll take you for some checkups to ensure you are fine. I will not inform Mr. Hughes.”
Tommy just wanted to kick up a fuss to make up for some losses.
He thought Jack deceived his sister through divorce with a compensation of only two hundred thousand. This was completely outrageous.
But Dr. Hale just ruined his plan and got him nothing but criticized by the crowd.
At this moment, Katherine walked out from stairwell after cooling down herself.
She almost collided with infuriate Tommy.
“Opps, Tommy, what happened?”
“Katherine.”
Tommy suddenly calmed down and said, “Do you know that Jack still has some money? Sophie has just undergone a surgery!”
Just before he left, he heard that Sophie just received a liver transplant.
Tommy felt furious again. That liver transplant must cost a huge amount of money!
Jack not only paid Sophie’s hospital bill, but also hired a carer for his mother. How came he didn’t have money?
“Hush!”
Katherine changed her attitude as she quickly covered Tommy’s mouth, “What if Sophie hears and gets agitated?
Tommy paused.
Katherine quickly dragged Tommy into the stairwell.
“Katherine, you knew it already?” Tommy looked surprised at her. Katherine’s reaction told she had already known it.
Katherine nodded and sighed, “When you asked me to look for Jack, I already gone to Sophie. But… you should not have gone to her.”
When she threw a tantrum last time, she had worsened Sophie’s condition so much that she got emergency treatment in the ICU. That made her still a little scared.
If Tommy was to trigger Sophie and she died, then it would be a murder!
“Why can’t I go to her? Jack got you dumped and gave that money to his dying old mom. He still lied to you by doing these. I’ve had it with it!”
Tommy was so furious that his eyes glared widely and his face flushed in red.
Katherine was shocked as she looked at Tommy. Did her brother suddenly turn thoughtful?
What he just said brought comfort and warmth to her.
But, she still shook her head and said, “It’s all in the past. I take everything. It’s okay.”
“Bullshit! If you didn’t choose Jack, how can they be bonded to our Parry family? They are both spiteful country pumpkins!”
Tommy was completely furious as he gritted his teeth, “Jack has given so much money to his damned old mother. Now he wants to ease out my sister with only two hundred thousand? No way!”
If it wasn’t for his plot to deceive Katherine to divorce, Tommy would be preparing to marry to Shirley and won’t cause their family to lose face.
If he got Jack to make up for his loss, then he will be able to give the bride price to Shirley!
