When I was with her, I didn't want her to even touch a needle, for fear that she would hurt herself.
But I didn't expect her to do this for Xavier.
I knocked on the door.
Monica turned around. When she saw me, her expression changed from guilty to indifferent.
"What are you doing here? I'll return the money to you when I get my salary."
The first thing she did was to distance herself from me.
I had never asked her for a penny in all these years.
I didn't even care how much money was in my account.
I was only worried that she didn't have enough money to spend, so I worked hard to make money every day.
But maybe she spent my money on Xavier.
Xavier half sat up from the bed and pretended to be puzzled. "Monica, you helped me pay for the surgery? Carl doesn't know that? You shouldn't do that."
"The company has been in a big deficit lately, and you don't have money to pay for your surgery. The perpetrator hasn't been caught, and the insurance compensation is not enough. I have no other choice."
"But you just lost your baby. If you don't take good care of yourself, Carl will have no children in the future."
Then Xavier used lip language to say to me, "That's just what I want."
