The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 47
“How shameless of him!”
“Can you believe his sheer lack of medical ethics when passing those garbage ingredients off as
valuable just to fool his patients?”
“You couldn’t be more right! The medication we’re put on is probably the same too!”
The other two patients scoffed and looked at Bowden with even more disdain. At the same time, they
were secretly worried that they were similarly tricked by other unethical doctors!
“Forget it, Lily. Bowden helped us a lot during this time, and it was his way of showing kindness too.
Let’s just put this matter to rest. My illness is cured too, so there’s not need for me to stay here
anymore. You and Jared should pack up so we can go home as soon as I’m discharged,” Serena said
without explicitly blaming Bowden. After all, her family was neighbors with Bowden’s family for many
years, and she did not want to go too deep into it.
“Discharged? Not so fast! Aunt Serena, you still owe more than seven thousand dollars for the
hospitalization and medical expenses. You can’t leave until they’re all paid!” Bowden stopped them at
once.
“We won’t be able to fork out that much money right
away, Bowden. Could you help us talk to the hospital and request that they give us a grace period? We
can write an IOU to the hospital for the time being, and we’ll pay it back as soon as we get some
money.” Serena had an embarrassed expression on her face.
Her prolonged hospitalization incurred no small amount in medical expenses. Some of that sum was
settled with help from relatives, while others were thanks to
Bowden’s help in giving the hospital a guarantee. The hospital, out of respect for Bowden, broke
precedent and allowed her to pay after seeking treatment.
Although Bowden had been a little fishy with the medication, it was an indisputable fact that Bowden
helped them.
“I understand the difficulty faced by your family, but the hospital isn’t mine. I’m afraid my hands are tied!
However, I do have another solution!” Bowden’s eyes
flickered.
“Another solution?” Serena asked suspiciously.
SO
“Aunt Serena, we’ve been neighbors for many years, I’ll just be upfront with you! I’ve liked Lily for a
long time now, and she’s at the age where it’s time to talk about marriage. If you agree to let her marry
me, I’ll fork out the expenses for you. You can treat it as my dowry for her! “Bowden said bluntly.
“What? No way! I’ll never agree to that!”
Lily was taken aback and immediately refused.

Serena, meanwhile, remained silent. Both families knew each other well, and if Bowden was a good
character and proposed marriage with sincerity, she would most likely consider it thoroughly.
However, he showed his true colors and unethical
behavior when he secretly manipulated the medicinal materials.
His character was also greatly flawed, as evidenced when he took advantage of someone else’s
misfortune to make excessive demands.
She would never marry her daughter off to such a man!
“You heard her, Bowden. Marriage is something that concerns her lifelong happiness, so I have no say
in it!” Serena gave it to him straight.
Jared was not as tactful as his mother. He smiled coldly and chided, “Someone is dreaming big! Why
don’t you take a good look at your shortcomings, Bowden? Devious scum like you don’t have a right to
be with my sister!”
Bowden’s face turned ashen, then red. He knew that Lily’s family have always had a good impression
of him, and it was only because he tried to gain benefits from those medicinal materials that their
impression of him did a 180-degree turn.
With the situation coming to a head and both sides being
at odds with each other, he no longer had anything to lose!
“Think clearly, Lily! I’m a doctor who works at a large
hospital, with an annual salary of at least thirty thousand dollars. I have a house and a car, and it’ll only
take a wave of my hand to have women swarming all over me! You’re just a secretary who graduated
college not too long ago, and your monthly salary is probably around six hundred dollars, max? Your
family is poor. You have nothing. And you owe a lot in debt too! You’re lucky that I’m even attracted to
you!” Bowden remarked with a high and mighty expression.
“How dare you… You’re shameless, Bowden! You may have a house, a car, and a good job, but I’ll
never fall in love with someone like you!”
Lily’s face turned red with anger. When she recalled that she once treated him as if he was her big
brother, she felt nothing but disgust in her heart!
