When Sean finally reached the hospital, Bonnie’s entire body had gone limp.
“She probably wouldn’t have survived if you had arrived even a minute later,” said the doctor. After
checking Bonnie to make sure she was still breathing, he could not help lifting his head to shoot Sean an
accusing look. “What kind of boyfriend are you? How can you let her be locked in a car in the heat of the
summer?
“If she dies today, you’ll become a murderer!”
Sean bit his lip nervously when he heard this. “Doctor, I’m not…”
“You’re not what? Not a murderer?” The doctor shot him a cold glare. “If anything happens to her, you’re
a murderer, and there’s no way you’re getting out of this!”
Then, he tossed a prescription slip to Sean and barked, “Go pay this at the counter!”
Sean paused for a moment, then quickly ran off, knowing that he had no time to waste.
He did not even think twice before he took out his personal savings card, which he usually reserved for
paying Nikki’s medical bills, and headed to the counter.
The receptionist seemed a little surprised to see him. “Did something happen to Nikki?”
This was the same hospital that Nikki would always come to whenever she fell sick, so most of the staff
knew her and Sean.
Sean paused for a moment, then replied, “No, I’m here for my friend.” The receptionist glanced at the
name displayed on the computer screen. “Bonnie Craig…it’s a woman…”
She lifted her head to stare at Sean. “So you finally got a girlfriend, huh?
“You should’ve done this a long time ago, Sean. Otherwise, Nikki will never be able to get better…”
Sean furrowed his brows when he heard this. “What does my finding a girlfriend have anything to do with
Nikki’s illness?”
Seeing that he appeared displeased, the receptionist did not dare to say anything more. Instead, she
pouted slightly and smiled awkwardly at him. “Nothing… Just pretend I never said that.”
.
Then, she handed the card back to him. “Alright. It’s done.” Sean was about to leave when he paused
and suddenly turned to warn the receptionist, “I know what you guys have been saying about Nikki, and I
think you’d better stop that.”
Then, he turned and strode away. The receptionist pursed her lips as she watched him leave. She could
not believe how naïve this man was. How could he still buy into the idea of Nikki being terminally ill?
Even though Nikki was not the healthiest girl, she was not dying at all. Instead, she simply had
a minor illness that required her to be on medications, but she would always pretend to have severe
“attacks” that required immediate medical attention.
Only fools like Sean would fall for this trick and even save hundreds of thousands of dollars for her
medical bills…
As soon as she thought of this, the receptionist glanced at the computer screen, which displayed all of
Bonnie’s personal information.
She pursed her lips slightly. “It turns out he has quite good taste…” By the time Sean arrived back at the
emergency room, Bonnie had already been sent into the surgical suite.
He took out his phone and called his boss. “Boss, I’m already finished here. Have you brought Nikki to
the hospital? Which hospital did you send her to?”
The man on the other end of the line was in the middle of work, so he furrowed his brows impatiently
when he heard Sean’s voice. “How could I possibly have the time to check on your little sister? “Don’t
worry. I sent one of my workers to check on her, and they’re probably already at the hospital. I’ll send you
his number so you can contact him yourself.” Sean nodded. “Thank you.” After hanging up the phone, his
boss immediately texted him the number as he had promised.
However, no one picked up the phone. Sean furrowed his brows as a bad feeling arose in his heart.
