Chapter 16
When Molly reached home, she looked at Tony, who was still following behind them.
She asked flatly, "Haven’t you had enough?"
Tony looked composed.
"Dr.May, I won’t give up until you agree to treat my boss."
The three little ones were next to Molly as they looked up at the pestering Uncle Tony.They started to feel bad for him and supported him by persuading their mom.
"Mommy, money is money.Aren’t you angry? Turn that anger into energy and use it to earn a huge amount of money from him to let off some steam!"
"That’s right, Mommy! Aren’t we going to bring great-grandpa over to stay with us? We should stay in a big house and hire a servant to take care of him.How are we going to do that if you continue acting like this?"
Ben chimed in.
Even Claudia started to act cute as she said, "Also, isn’t Grandaunt Sue going to stay with us when she comes back to Northfolk next time? It seems like this room is a little too small!"
Molly’s expression shifted, and it was obvious that she was moved! "Pardon me for asking, but you’re a highly-skilled physician, Dr.May.Putting your other patients aside, you’ll get tens of millions of dollars just by treating my boss.Besides, you’ve had plenty of successful cases.Why are you still in this financial position?"
Ben sighed as he placed his hands on his hips, looking like an adult.
"My mom doesn’t like to deal with rich people, so her patients are mostly from poor families.We’re lucky if we didn’t have to lose money.Most of the time, my mommy would fork out some money as an act of charity because she felt bad for them."
Molly did not refute because Ben was speaking the truth.
Furthermore, she truly wanted Grandpa Dave to live a good life out here.It was hard for her to do so if she was just renting a room! Molly looked hesitant.
