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!
