Chapter 2352

Anna was wiping her tears beside the ward bed and looking at Jean, who said nothing. She thoughtJean was in pain, so she asked in a worried tone, “Are you in pain? Let me ask the doctor to come overand give you an injection for the pain.

After that, Anna pressed the patient call bell beside the bed.

Jean did not stop her. He closed his eyes and recalled what had happened yesterday.

Jean was beaten up by Cobra. His body felt weak, and he could not find where his phone was. Therewas no way he could ask for help. He ended up sleeping beside a pile of trash.

He was in pain and freezing at that time. Slowly, he began to feel drowsy and fell asleep. He forgotwhat happened next.

Anna's face came into sight when he opened his eyes.

There was no memory of what had happened to him in between...

The nurse walked into Jean's ward when she heard the patient call bell. She asked, "What's wrong withPatient No. 1?"

"He's awake," answered the caretaker.

"Okay. Let me call the doctor," replied the nurse. She went out and called Jean's attending physician tocome over.

The doctor gave Jean a preliminary examination and found out that Jean was fine. Then, he asked,"Do you feel uncomfortable?"

"It hurts. I'm feeling a little dizzy," Jean replied weakly.

The doctor picked up Jean's medical report, glanced at it to confirm, and said, "You have minor bonefractures all over your body. They were caused by getting beaten up. It'll definitely hurt. Did thosepeople hit your head when they were beating you up?"

"I forgot." Jean felt embarrassed for being asked such a question in front of so many people.

"According to the test results, there's no sign of bleeding in your brain, so I assume that it's just aconcussion. It's normal to feel dizzy. Do press the bell and call the nurse if you feel very dizzy," said thedoctor as he placed the report back to where it was.

Anna looked at the doctor in surprise and asked, "Is that all? Aren't you giving him any medications orinjections?" "It's stated in the records that he was already given some IV fluids when he was in theemergency room. If he can't stand the pain, I can give him some painkillers," replied the doctor.

“Please give him the painkillers. It breaks my heart to see him like this." Anna felt sorry for Jean.

The doctor nodded and said, "The nurse will arrange for it later."

Jean opened his eyes again after the doctor left. An ominous cloud hovered over him.

He did not expect Cobra to be so heartless. He even got his men to fracture his bones. That was whyhe did not even have the strength to stand up last night...

"Son, are you feeling better now?" Anna looked at him worryingly.

Anna repeated her words over and over again as she was worried about him. It made Jean feelannoyed. Jean looked at Anna, who was still in her hospital gown, and said impatiently, "Mom, aren'tyou still sick? Don't worry about me. Go back to your ward."

Anna replied, "I'm fine. I'm telling the doctor that I'm getting discharged tomorrow."

Jean was surprised and asked, "You're getting discharged?"

Previously, she refused to get discharged from the hospital just because she could get more moneyfrom Nina. The doctor had told her that she could go home and recuperate her health. There was noneed to continue to stay in the hospital and spend the money.

However, Anna refused to listen to him. She did whatever it took for her to stay in the hospital.

Now that Anna was getting discharged from the hospital, would she be able to find more excuses toask for money from Nina?

"Mom, that b*tch must be happy to hear that. She doesn't have to give you so much money anymore,"replied Jean. He disagreed with Anna wanting to get discharged from the hospital.

"It's okay if she doesn't want to give me any money. I've got money now. I don't need her alms andsympathy," said Anna. She held a glass of water. After she wet a cotton swab, she gently applied it toJean's dry lips.

"Mom, what are you thinking? Your pension isn't enough for us. We'll run out of money just from buyingyour medications every month," said Jean. If Jean was not feeling uncomfortable now, he really wantedto sit up straight and see what had gotten into Anna's head. "Where's Nina? I'm admitted to thehospital. Why isn't she here?"

"It's better that she's not here. I'll just assume that I've never had a daughter like Nina. You too. Justpretend that you never had a younger sister," Anna said delightfully.

The caretaker took the chance to roll her eyes when the two of them did not notice her.

Sure enough, Anna did not even want to acknowledge her daughter after taking the money. There wereno other words that could best describe Anna. She was just greedy as f*ck.

However, there was another sentence that could describe her. She could go as far as to notacknowledge her daughter for the sake of money.

"Are you out of your mind? How am I supposed to live if Nina doesn't give you money? No way. I haveto ask Nina to come here," Jean struggled to get out of bed, thinking that Anna must be out of hermind.

There was no doubt that Anna was worried about spending too much money if she got discharged fromthe hospital.

Jean had to pay a few thousand dollars for his medical bills. He became furious at the thought ofgetting beaten up because of a few thousand dollars. If he had money, he would have kicked their*sses for what he had suffered today.

"You're the one who's out of your mind. Lay down," Anna quickly pressed him down on the bed whenshe saw Jean getting up.

Anna glanced at the patient beside them and lowered her voice to tell Jean that she had severed tieswith Nina, and Percy gave her 2.5 million dollars for it.

Jean widened his eyes and said, "Did he really..."

Realizing that there were other patients in the ward, Jean paused for a moment and said, "Did he reallygive us that much money?"

"Yes. I've deposited the money into my bank account. The two of us can live comfortably without Ninanow," Anna smiled and said. She was not even feeling upset when she mentioned Nina.

It was as though Nina was not her biological daughter.

"How could you agree to it even if it's a lot of money? We'll run out of money if we spend it," Jeanthought that even though 2.5 million dollars sounded a lot, it was not enough for him to spend.

Jean wanted to start a business. 2.5 million dollars was probably not enough for him.

"What are you thinking? I'm going to deposit the money into the bank and invest it. We'll profit from themonthly returns. Coupled with my pension, it'll be enough for the two of us." Anna had it all planned.

They could earn a lot in a month if Anna invested the money.novelbin

They owned a house, and with Anna's pension, she would be able to support Jean even if he refusedto work.

Jean narrowed his eyes and realized that Anna would not give him the money easily for him to start abusiness.

Hence, Jean could not mention it to her now.

Otherwise, Anna would be even determined to watch over that sum of money.

Jean smiled. He was no longer in pain all of a sudden, and he said, "Yes. That's great. Even if the twoof you have signed the contract, the law isn't going to acknowledge such contracts about cutting off tieswith family. We can continue to ask for money from Nina in the future."

"Why should I ask for her money when I'm rich? Am I crazy?" said Anna. She had enough of askingNina for money every day.

Nina acted like someone who gave alms to Anna when she gave her the money.

Now that Anna was rich, she felt that she could lift her head proudly now. She never thought aboutwhere she got the money from.

Jean was thrown into confusion when he looked at how delighted Anna was. Although Jean had gotteninto prison before, he had read many books too. He knew that such a contract lacked legal recognition.
