Chapter 1452 Return Mr. Perkins Money
It had been nearly a month since Amir had arrived in Jewel City. Not only was Beryl affected, but everyone else had
also been put in too much trouble.
In the past half a month, although Beryl met with Marcellus every day after class, the frequency of their meeting
was not high. Even if they could see each other, they could only stay for a short while before leaving.
Now that Amir could go home to recuperate, she finally had some private space.
Just as Beryl returned to the hospital to pack up her things, Wallis suddenly called. "Beryl, are you back in the ward
now?"
"I'm here. I haven't packed up yet." As she spoke, she was putting the water glass on the table into her carry-on
bag.

"A bank card?" Beryl frowned slightly and found a blue bank card under a small notebook according to what Wallis
had said. "This is..."
"This is the money I've raised with your father recently. There's a total of 70,000 dollars in it. I know it's not enough
to pay off Mr. Perkins's medical expenses, but we can only raise this much now. Your father and I will pay the rest as
soon as possible." Wallis deliberately told her now.
She knew that if she said it in front of Beryl, Beryl would definitely persuade them that there was no rush to return
the money.
However, as Beryl's parents, Wallis and Amir did not want Beryl to be ashamed to face Marcellus thereafter.
After all, they were mother and daughter. Beryl knew very well what Wallis was thinking. Her eyes suddenly turned
red. "Mom, you really don't have to be in such a hurry. Dad has just been discharged from the hospital. He needs
money to eat and drink. You..."
"It's okay! No matter what, your father and I have lived our lives together. Besides, I won't make him suffer. I know
what to do. Give the money to Mr. Perkins first. Don't delay, okay?" Wallis repeatedly reminded her, afraid that
Beryl would not do as she said.
Beryl had no choice but to agree. "I understand. I'll transfer the money to Mr... Mr. Perkins's account in a few days."
She was caught off guard and almost blurted out his name.
Fortunately, she stopped in time. Otherwise, she didn't know what Wallis would think.
"You have to take good care of yourself outside. After I leave with your dad, you should have a good rest for a few
days. Don't rush to work."
"OK, Mom."
After hanging up the phone, she sat by the bed and looked down at the bank card in her hand. There was an

What she least wanted was for her family to live a poor life because of money, but she also needed money as she
was still in school.
If she wanted to make money, she could only work part-time or even a little more. She couldn't get a basic job at
all. What she could solve was only food and clothing, and she could also save money in this way.
In the face of illness, the money she had saved was just a drop in the bucket.
Now that Wallis was in such a hurry to pay back the money, she knew why, and couldn't bear to see this.
She really wanted to tell her parents that Marcellus was her boyfriend. There was nothing complicated between
them, nor was it because of money or other external factors. They were together purely because they liked each
other.
But she couldn't.
She knew how conservative Wallis and Amir were, so she could only hide it from them.
