The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes

Chapter 339

That day, Philip was ready to find Anne at the hospital. He had promised to take a look at her brother’s condition. On the way,

Philip pondered about it before buying some fruits. It would be rude to visit empty-handed. When he arrived at the hospital, it was

about three in the afternoon. Seeing Philip, Anne was a little bashful as she said, “Mr. Philip, you really don’t have to.

I feel bad for you having to come all the way.” Philip smiled and said, “It’s nothing. However, it’s a secret between you and me.

Don’t tell Miss Wynn.

Let’s go. Take me to see your brother.” Anne was a whole head shorter than Philip. Even though the young woman was pretty,

her face was a little waxy.

She had most probably overworked herself. Such a young woman like that often made people feel

sorry for her. Anne led Philip to the sixth floor of the inpatient department. The floor was exclusively

reserved for patients with leukemia. There were both adults and children. Philip looked around and saw

a lot of family members who looked miserable. Some of them were even sobbing into their phones in

the corners of their respective wards. Sigh, what a harsh reality. When the two arrived at the ward that

belonged to Anne’s brother, they were unable to find him even after looking around.

Consequently, Anne started to panic. She asked a few nurses but it was to no avail as none of them

had seen him. Upon hearing this, Anne’s expression changed, and she hurriedly ran toward a corner.

On the other hand, Philip chased after her. In front of a bald little boy who was hiding behind a pillar,

Anne squatted down and asked frantically, “Why did you run out on your own again? Didn’t I tell you to

wait for me before I get here?” It was obvious that the little boy had been crying moments ago.

However, he smiled staunchly and said, “Anne, I don’t want to stay here anymore. I’m cured. I want to

go home now.” Anne took a deep breath, and tears started to well up in her eyes. She held the little boy

tightly and shook her head. She said, “Trust me. We can cure you, okay?” The little boy caressed

Anne’s face and shook his head. He replied, “Anne, I really don’t want to undergo any more treatment.

We no longer have any money. I don’t want to see you working day and night just for me. You must be

exhausted.

I want to go back. I don’t want to stay here anymore.” The little boy was Anne’s brother, and his words

were heartbreaking. He was so young yet so sensible. “Little guy, don’t worry about the money. Just

undergo the treatment, your sister will find a way.” Philip walked over and said while shaking the fruits

and presents in his hands. The little boy looked at Philip and then back at Anne in confusion; he was

clueless as to who Philip was.

Philip grinned. “I am a good friend of your sister.” The little boy was smart.

He pulled Anne to one side and lowered his voice as he whispered in Anne’s ear, “Anne, is he your

boyfriend? He looks a bit too old.” Anne blushed and turned around to look at Philip. She said, “No,

stop spouting nonsense. He’s Mr. Philip, the guy I’ve been telling you is always extremely good to me.”

When the little boy heard this, he was disappointed. “I thought you finally found a boyfriend, Anne. So someone would be there to

take care of you when I’m not here.” Anne shook her head. Her eyes were red as she held the little boy in her arms. She said,

“You idiot. I’ll never find a boyfriend.

I’ll stay with you forever.” The little boy smiled and then ran over to Philip before bowing to him. “Thank you, sir. My sister told me

that you’re always treating her very well. When I get better, I’ll definitely repay you.” Philip was not expecting the little boy to be

so sensible. He chuckled and said,

“Alright, I’ll wait for you. However, before that, you have to listen to Anne and the doctors so you can have a faster recovery.” The

little boy shook his head and looked at the hospital room aggrievedly. Then, he lowered his head, pulled Anne outside, and said,

“Anne, let’s go home. I want to go home.” Right then, a loud, aggravated voice was heard from one side, “Just go home and be

done with it! Stop being a dog in the manger. You don’t have enough money, and you still want to come to the hospital.” When

Philip heard this, his expression changed. He turned around and said angrily to the man, “What did you say?” The man looked at

Philip from head to toe and said in frustration, “What I just said is none of your business. Why? Are you trying to chat up the

pretty girl? If you don’t have the money to treat your illness, get lost. He has already been kicked out of his ward, and he’s still

squatting here. What a sore sight!” Philip’s face became extremely dark.

No wonder the boy had insisted on going home earlier. It seemed like he was being kicked out of the hospital. Was it because

they could not afford the hospital bill? Philip recalled that Mila was almost kicked out of the hospital because he did not have any

money either. He felt extremely sorry for Anne and Mason. Nevertheless, that was not the reason why Philip was angry. He was

mad at the man’s humiliation and condemnation. Philip’s face turned cold and he snorted. “Do you own this hospital? What does

his whereabouts have to do with you? You’re an adult. Are you not ashamed for having said such things?” The man sat on his

chair with one leg over the other. He looked malicious. Immediately, he started to berate Philip sarcastically, “Why? Are you not

satisfied? You’re just a penniless fool, yet you still want to come to the hospital. If it’s not wasting the resources of the hospital

and the efforts of the doctors, what is it? Why should we rich people wait?” F*ck! Who was this man? How dare he argue with

him? His brother-in-law was the department head of the hospital!
