The Guardian's Return (Ethan Rivers) novel Chapter 518

After the doctor came out, he informed Charles about Xavier’s condition and mentioned that the medical bill would cost 30 thousand dollars. Charles went to the reception to make the necessary payment.

As his mother was also in the same hospital, he dared not tell her about his father and Ethan when he visited her. With Ethan jailed, the medication subsidy discontinued, and the health insurance expired, the monthly medical expenses reverted to costing tens of thousands of dollars.

Charles talked to his mother for a while before leaving.

“My salary is only 8000 dollars per month. How am I going to do this?” He felt lost.

Suddenly, his phone rang. Looking at the screen and seeing an unregistered number, he answered it.

“Hello, we’re from the loan company…”

Charles hung up immediately. For some reason, the loan company had caught wind of his situation and reached out to make him an offer.

He sighed, baffled by how quickly they had obtained such accurate information. His father had just been admitted to the hospital, and they were already calling him.

He returned home alone, took a shower blankly, and then went to bed. He tossed and turned but could not sleep at all.

“How did it end up like this? Did I make a mistake?”

He started to regret his actions. If he could have been more respectful to Ethan or evaluated the situation before making remarks, things might have turned out differently. Although he helped Stephen, he ultimately hurt his father and the family.

Awake, he picked his phone up, hoping to find an extra job to lessen the financial burden. That was when he received a text from a female colleague. The colleague was beautiful, kind, and smart, and she seemed to have developed feelings for him.

“Are you free this Sunday?” She wanted to ask Charles out.
