"Don't think of leaving. Don't take my granddaughter away!" Vivienne immediately got up and blocked the door.
A nurse rushed over from behind. "You're in the hospital. Don't cause a commotion!" Nonetheless, the Jost family was unmoved. Vivienne glared at the nurse. "This is our family's affair. Don't intervene. Otherwise, I'll file a complaint!" When Lila saw that Vivienne was harassing the nurse, she spoke up to divert Vivienne's attention. "Do you know that your words just now constituted the crof child trafficking?" "What are you talking about? I'll report you to the police now!" Vivienne shouted. Unbothered, Lila smiled and responded, "Sure. Go ahead and reportto the police. Let's see if the police will arrest you or me." "Stop scaring me. If we don't get the money, I'll create a commotion every day. No matter where you go, I'll follow!" Throwing tantrums and making a scene was Vivienne's specialty. No one in the village could defeat her.

If Lila didn't give them money, they might actually bother her every day. They didn't seem like they had shame.
Seeing that Lila was silent, Vivienne thought that she was afraid. She continued, "Lettell you this. We will get the money no matter what! In the past, Yasmin's mother didn't give us any money. Today, Yasmin will earn smoney for me!" When Lila heard that, she frowned. Did it mean that not only did Vivienne not care about Yasmin and her mother, but she had also asked them for money? Moments ago, Lila thought of giving them the money, but the thought disappeared instantly. She refused to give them any money now.
Nicole lowered her voice and said, "Lila, why don't you just give them the money? The police can't do anything to them." Lila pursed her lips, trying to think if there were other means.
Yasmin, who was in Nicole's embrace, raised her head and glanced at the Jost family. "They're bad people! They hit my mom!" They even hit Yasmin and her mother? Lila took a deep breath. Although she was smiling, she didn't seem happy. "Alright then. We can give you the money." Vivienne got up and dusted her clothes. "You should have been this obedient long ago. Why must you create a scene? Hurry up and givethe money!" "I don't have that much money withright now, and my phone broke during the earthquake. I haven't inserted a SIM card in this phone yet." While saying that, Lila raised her phone to show it to them, confirming that she wasn't lying. It was indeed a new phone. She hadn't had the tto replace her initial phone number.
"Why don't you wait until tomorrow? If you cagain tomorrow, I'll go to the bank with you and make a transfer." The members of the Jost family looked at Lila suspiciously. "What if you run away?" Lila chuckled. "If you're worried about that, you can have someone stay here and keep watch. But they can't enter the ward."

Once the group of people left the ward, the room fell silent again.
m Nicole was still frowning. "Lila, do you not want to give them the money?" Lila nodded. "If the Jost family treated Yasmin and her mother well, I would have given them the money.
However, they didn't care about Yasmin and her mother and even wanted their money. Why should I give them the money? They aren't worthy of it.
"Aunt Nicole, don't worry." Lila patted Nicole's hand. "Kieran will cover later. Have them look into the Jost family." This shameless family might be hiding something. If nothing turned up...
Lila glanced at the recording in her hand. She would have to take a trip to the police station. Besides, there seemed to be something off with that young man.
