Chapter 372 It’s A Surprise, But It''s A Pleasant One


    Nina was still recovering from an operation and she could barely move. Her mother came to ask for


    money from her and was not even concerned about her wellbeing.


    Did Nina have any conscience? Did she deserve to be a mother? 1


    When the door opened, the people in the ward turned to look in that direction.


    Nina''s eyes were full of pain and confusion.


    The young nurse looked visibly relieved.


    Anna gritted her teeth and became angrier.


    "Bea..." Nina said hoarsely. Her lips were dry and cracked.


    She sounded very aggrieved, like a bullied little animal who did not know how to retaliate.


    Bianca''s heart wrenched when she saw Nina like that.


    She walked over and ced her handbag next to Nina''s pillow.


    She wiped Nina''s tears from her eyes and said, "Don''t be angry. All you need to do now is rest. You


    shouldn''t be agitated. That won’t be good for your recuperation. Understand?"


    Before Nina could say anything, Anna''s plump body waddled over.


    She pointed a finger at Bianca and started yelling. "Why are you here, you jinx? Aren''t you satisfied


    after framing my son? Now you want to frame my daughter too? I''ve warned you, Nina, you''d better not


    get yourself tangled up with this woman. Why don''t you listen to me?" "We''re in a hospital now. Please


    be quiet!" Bianca turned around and regarded Anna sternly.


    "I know you hate me, but this isn''t the time to quarrel. Nina is your daughter. Aren''t you the least bit


    concerned about why she''s in the hospital? Let me tell you, Nina had just finished an operation, and


    her body is very weak now. Can''t you see that she''s already drenched in sweat? How can you even yell


    at her... Don''t you think that you''re not acting like her mother, Mrs. Langdon?"


    Anna was shocked when she heard that Nina had just finished an operation, but soon, she became


    angry.


    She had always been the one yelling at people, and never the one being yelled at!


    Furthermore, the person who had yelled at her was Bianca, whom she hated the most. That made her


    angrier than ever.


    Instantly, her voice became louder as she verbally attacked Bianca. ‘Who do you think you are? What


    right do you have to talk to me like that? Not only you caused my son to go to prison, but my daughter


    is also in the hospital probably because of you. I''ve said that you bring us nothing but trouble, and you


    can see that I''m right!"


    It was enough for Anna to verbally attack Bianca, so she started to get physical.

    She had just grabbed onto Bianca''s hair when Nina suddenly sat up.


    Her eyes were vacant as she stared at Anna with despair. "What do you want, Mom? Bianca is here to


    take care of me in the hospital. If you beat her and drive her away, are you going to take care of me?"


    She screamed hoarsely.


    Anna nced at Nina, whose eyes were swollen from crying. Only then did she remember that she


    was at the hospital to ask her daughter for money.


    Meeting Bianca, the reason why her son was in prison, had nearly made her lose her mind and forget


    the reason she was there.


    Anna sheepishly let go of Nina''s hair and tried to negotiate with Nina. "My daughter, you''ll have to raise


    the money for me no matter what. Otherwise, your brother might just die in prison. You''re his sister. You


    ought to save him..." 2


    As she said that, she lifted her hand and pretended to wipe away tears, as though she was a loving


    and caring mother.


    Nina knew that her mother was very good at putting up an act. She turned away while pressing her


    stomach to hold back the pain, not willing to entertain her mother''s pretense.


    "Mom, Jean is receiving his just desserts," Nina said tiredly. "He needs to be rehabilitated in prison, and


    he wouldn''t learn his lesson if he doesn''t face some hardship. I really have no money now. All my debit


    and credit cards are with you, and you know the PINs to them. If you don''t believe me, you can check


    the ount bnce..."


    Anna saw that tears had no effect on Nina. She opened the door wide and kept it open.


    Then, she sprawled on the floor and started to throw a tantrum like a child.


    She kept on yelling and screaming. "Even a dog would know how to repay its master! You? You''re an


    ingrate! If I knew this would happen, I should''ve snuffed you out with a pillow after you''re born! I''ve


    suffered so much while raising you, and this is how you repay me? Everyone, look at my ungrateful


    daughter. She only cares for herself while her brother is suffering and her mother is dying. I might as


    well jump out of the window now!"


    Nina was staying in a VIP ward. There were no other patients inside.


    However, the wards were next to each other, and there were other patients and their families inside.


    Anna''s voice was as loud as thunder. Soon, many patients and their families peeked out of their rooms


    curiously to see what was going on.


    They stretched their necks toward Nina''s ward while pointing there...


    Nina''s tears fell once again when she saw her mother''s tantrum. She was almost out of breath from


    crying.


    Bianca felt sorry for Nina, but at the same time was angry toward Anna. She took her handbag and


    mmed it next to Anna. "You''re here to ask Nina for money, right? Take this money and leave at this


    instant!"


    Anna wanted to yell and curse at Bianca, but when she opened the handbag and saw the stacks of


    cash inside, her clouded eyes sparkled.


    She scrambled to her feet and grabbed the handbag as though she was protecting a baby.


    Then, Anna waved at her daughter. "You just rest here. I''lle and look for you in a couple of days.


    The money here isn''t enough. Go and make some more money when you''re discharged. I need the


    money urgently!"


    Without looking at her daughter or asking about her daughter''s operation, Anna''s corpulent body


    waddled away as she hugged the handbag tightly.


    Nina watched her mother leave with a vacant gaze. Her face was once again awash with tears.


    Her heart was already numb.


    "I didn''t expect that a mother would treat her daughter like that. She''s her birth daughter, right?" The


    young nurse mumbled to herself.


    The nurse''s mother treated her daughter with tender care, and the nurse had never seen such a


    merciless mother. In her heart, she had cursed Anna a thousand times.


    Bianca closed the door to ward to shield Nina from those curious gazes.


    She gently hugged Nina and said, "Everything''s fine now. Don''t cry. I''m here for you."


    Nina''s lips were trembling, and she was curled up in Bianca''s arms. "I''m sorry that you had to see this.


    HI pay your money back one day..."


    Bianca helped Nina lie down and turned her in the nket.


    She wiped away Nina''s tears and said softly. "You don''t have to pay it back. It''s not much, and it''s what


    I owe you anyway. Just focus on resting. I''ll apany you tonight."


    Nina was physically and mentally tired. Soon, under Bianca''sforting voice, she fell into a deep


    sleep.


    Bianca held her mmy hands and sighed. She tried to warm them up by cing Nina''s hands under


    the nket.


    Then, Bianca took out her phone and sent a message to Luke: [I''ll take today off.]


    In a few seconds, she received a reply: [Mm. Come home early tonight. There''s something for you.]


    Bianca''s eyes widened. She sent another message: [What is it? Can you give me a hint? Don''t tell me


    that it''s a surprise?]


    Beep!


    She received a reply from Luke a few minutester: (I have to keep it a secret. It''s a surprise, but I


    promise you that it''s a pleasant one.]
