Ve In Twilight By Tiny Mountains Chapter 173

Chapter 173 She Vaguely Felt That Something Was Wrong

Three hundred thousand dollars? Theresa was stumped.

She‘d been in a coma for six years, and she didn‘t have any money on her.

She didn‘t want to make things hard for Clarissa as well. She knew how tough life would be for Clarissa

as a normal girl marrying into a rich family. If Clarissa were to ask them for money, she would be under

their control.

“Mom, it‘s fine. I‘ll go settle it.” Clarissa patted Theresa on the shoulder and pulled out Financial and

Cost Management.

She carried it with her everywhere she went, and the check that Damien had given her was still stuffed

between its pages.

“I have five hundred thousand dollars here. He gave it to me, so don‘t worry. Grandma will be fine. I

need to get this check accepted first.” She showed Theresa the check.

“He” was referring to Damien, of course.

Theresa felt like something was wrong, but she couldn‘t pinpoint it. After paying the deposit, the doctors

started operating.

Operations to remove tumors always took a long time.

They waited outside.

“As expected of a rich man‘s wife. You forked out three hundred thousand dollars so casually,” Connie

mocked.

Clarissa ignored Connie and continued to rest her eyes while leaning against the wall.

This made Connie even angrier.

Theresa was a little confused. ‘Did Clarissa tell Damien that she was coming to the hospital? Why

hasn‘t Damien even called if he knows that she‘s here?‘

“Huh? Clarissa, what are you doing here?” Joseph and a group of people were passing by.

When Connie saw Joseph, she smiled widely. ‘The main characters of this love triangle are here,

except for Damien. I bet he‘ll teach her a lesson if he found out about this!

Clarissa looked up and saw Joseph.

“You‘re here for...” she said in surprise.

“Oh, I took on a job from Thompson Hospital last year to audit them, and I came to collect some files

today. What are you doing in the hospital?” Joseph asked.

Clarissa knew that as long as she was with Joseph, Connie would definitely blow things out of

proportion.

She pulled Joseph aside and told him everything.

When Joseph saw that there were only four women seated here, he knew Clarissa probably wouldn‘t

be able to hold the fort down.

“My work here isn‘t done yet, so I won‘t be going back to Genovia. Tumor operations take a long time,

maybe around twenty hours. I‘ll book you a room. You and your mother can get some rest there. Also,

do you have enough money?” Joseph cared about Clarissa a lot, and it showed on his face.

“Yes, I do.”NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

“He gave it to you?”

Clarissa nodded, “Yeah. Three hundred thousand dollars for the deposit.”

“The deposit may not be enough. I‘m here for you if you need any more.”

“Alright.”

It was easy to lend someone a hand when they were doing well, but it was tough to come across

someone who would help when one truly needed it. Clarissa was rather moved.

Joseph booked a room at the hotel opposite the hospital and told Clarissa the room number.

She wanted to turn him down, but Joseph beat her to it. “Don‘t be so quick to turn me down, and stop

drawing such clear lines. Don‘t you think that‘s too pointed?”

“L…” Clarissa felt that it was too much as well. She had no choice but to accept his kindness

Her phone rang. It was Damien.

He had received a text when the check was accepted.

“Why aren‘t you back yet?” he asked.

It was already past eight in the evening.

“Oh, my grandmother‘s undergoing an operation right now. I‘m in Pentatone County now, and I‘ve

already asked Janet for some time off. I won‘t be back tonight, and I‘ll have to see how things go

tomorrow, okay?” Clarissa told him everything.

“Do you need me to be there?”

“No, it‘s fine. Let‘s see how things are after the operation.”

“Do you have enough money?” he asked.

“You gave me five hundred thousand dollars during the holidays, remember? It‘s more than enough.”

Damien hung up.

At ten, Cindy and Connie went home.

At first, Clarissa wanted Mrs. Cole to take Theresa to the hospital. She would stay here to watch over

things.

However, Theresa said, “Clary, I want to talk to you about something. Come with me.”

The hotel room Joseph had booked for them wasn‘t big, but it was very comfortable.

When they were in the room, Theresa held Clarissa‘s hand. “Clary, tell me the truth. Why did Damien

give you a check?”

Earlier on, Theresa had vaguely felt that something was wrong. One normally gave another person a

check to pay for something. Why would a husband give his wife a check? Did they have some sort of

deal?
