Chapter 591 I Don't Have Much Money
"You said you want a deposit. This is the only card I have now. This is what you got."
Diego smiled ingratiatingly, "Give me your five million dollar check..."
Before he could finish his words, Laura covered her handbag and took another step back. She quickly
reached for the kitchen knife she had placed on the counter.
She held the knife warily in front of her and looked at him coldly.
"Don't even think about it! Let's not fool each other! I won't give you a quarter unless you do what I
said!"
Laura's words left Diego dumbfounded.
He was indeed going to fool her and leave with her money.
Five million was not too shabby if he couldn't have 12 million.
Laura would always be under his control as long as he didn't divorce her mother.
However, he didn't expect that Laura was smart enough to see right through him.
Agitated, Diego was embarrassed.
But there was nothing else he could do.
He did not dare to do anything to hurt Laura, because she could really call security and he wouldn't get
away.
Reluctantly, he picked up the card and said, "Fine. I'll come back tomorrow for the rest."
He then walked out.
Laura watched him leave and then she rushed over to close the door.
Then she slid down along the door to the floor as if she had lost all her strength.
The room was quiet again. She was exhausted dealing with Diego.
Sitting on the floor, she closed her eyes, and opened them again.
Then again she looked at her phone she had been holding tightly this whole time and she stared at
Max's phone number on it, but she did not call him.
The next day, Laura woke up early.
Perhaps because of what happened last night, she did not sleep well all night.
She kept thinking about the scenes of Diego scolding her when she was a child.
When she woke up, there were two dark circles under her eyes, and she looked terrible as if she had
been having a nightmare all night.
She put on some makeup before she took her handbag and left her apartment.
Laura did not go anywhere else but drove directly to St. Peter Hospital.
At that moment, Mrs. Davies was chatting with the nurses in the hospital.
The doctors and nurses here were much better than the hospital she was staying in before, both in
terms of their attitudes and qualifications.
Although Mrs. Davies had endured many hardships over the years, she was born into a wealthy family.
So she shared some common topics with them.
As they were having a nice conversation, Fannie saw Laura come through the door.
"Laura, what are you doing here?"
Since Laura had come to visit her two days ago, Fannie thought Laura would not come again so soon.
It was late when Diego left Laura's apartment last night.
She didn't call her mother to tell her about this so as not to worry her.
Besides, she didn't think she would make it clear to her mother over the phone.
So she thought maybe she should tell her face to face at the hospital.
Laura saw her mother and said with a smile, "I'm off today, and I have nothing else better to do so I
thought I should come around."
The nurses smiled and stood up after seeing Laura coming in.
"Since Miss Davies is here, we should give you some privacy."
Mrs. Davies was grateful to the staff here that they spent some time talking with her even though they
were incredibly busy, so she said,
"Thank you guys so much for hanging out with me. Sorry to keep you here for so long."
They laughed and said, "That's okay. We are not quite busy today since you are the only patient in the
VIP ward on this floor."
Maybe it was Max who cleared out the whole floor for her.
She somehow was the only patient on this floor.
She assumed that it might be because Max did not want people to know that Laura's mother was
hospitalized here. So he considerately cleared out other patients for her.
However, she didn't think too much about it.
After the nurses left, Laura sat down in a chair near the bedside and said, "Mom, I'm here to tell you
something."
Fannie was about to peel an apple for her. When she heard what Laura said, she looked at her and
asked, "What is it?"
Laura pursed her lips and thought about what to say before saying, "Diego agreed to get a divorce last
night."
Hearing what Laura said, Fannie was stunned.
The apple she was peeling was dropped to the ground.
Pouting, Laura looked at the apple on the floor and bent down to pick it up.
She then went to the bathroom, washed it before she came back and sat down in her chair.
She took over the fruit knife from her mother's hand and started peeling it.
She said, "This is what you want and it's good that it's finally happening. We could finally get him out of
the picture."
Fannie's hands trembled slightly as she looked at Laura dully.
By now, her face became even paler, and she looked weak.
After a long while, she said in a trembling voice, "What did you do to make him say yes?"
Laura looked at her mother calmly.
She knew she couldn't hide this from her.
After all, 12 million dollars was a big sum of money which she didn't have for now. If she were to make
a real deal with Diego, she would have to raise more money for this.
So Fannie would know about this sooner or later.novelbin
So instead of hiding, Laura told her mother everything.
Fannie shrieked,
"I disagree!"
Laura immediately looked outside and saw no one was around, she then slightly covered Fannie's
mouth with her hand.
Laura whispered, "Lower your voice, mom. People can't know about this."
Fannie then realized that she just shouted out loud. If people knew about this, Laura would get into
trouble.
So she raised her hand and covered her mouth.
Then she said, "Laura, you can't give him money. Where are you gonna find 12 million? I won't allow
it!"
Mrs. Davies was right. Laura's earnings over the years were either extorted by Diego or used to pay
medical bills for her mother, so she didn't have much money left.
