Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 1430

Luca looked at the LCD screen. Indeed, Anna’s nwas on the screen, and she was undergoing an examination.

Jean stashed a stack of bills in Nina’s hand and said, “Don’t just stand there. Go pay up. I managed to convince the doctor to conduct the examination first.”

“Haven’t you paid?” Nina’s hand trembled in anger as she looked at bills in her hand.

“I told you that I don’t have money! That’s enough talk. Go and pay up. Other than the charges for the examination, there’s also the resuscitation fee,” Jean said heartlessly.

“I just gave Mom this month’s living expenses. How can you not have money?” Nina was about to pass out from anger. It was her responsibility to take care of her parents, but she was not responsible for Jean.

She had only given the month’s living expenses to her mother when she visited her earlier. It was impossible that they did not have money!

“Why are you asking so many questions? I said that we don’t have money. You can’t wait for Mom to die, right?” Jean said impatiently. He did not want to tell Nina where the money had gone.

“You…” Nina was at a loss for words.

Jean continued his merciless tirade. “What about it? Go and pay up now. Don’t think that I don’t know Percy gives you a ton of money when you’re with him. Is money more important than your mother? Nina, oh, Nina, if that’s who you really are, I feel sad for Mom!”

Nina trembled with anger. Indeed, Percy had been generous with her, but that did not mean she accepted Percy’s money.

Other than living in his mansion and using his pocket money as living expenses, she had not touched the money in the bank account that Percy had given her.

She knew that she would eventually split up with Percy, and she tried to save up for that eventuality.

As for the bank account, she wanted to return the bank card to Percy the day they split up.

“When I left the house earlier, I only brought the money for Mom. I don’t even have my debit card with me now. How am I supposed to pay?” She said.

She noticed that Jean was holding Anna’s handbag, so she said, “That’s Mom’s handbag, right? Give it to me. I want to see if there’s money inside. I’ll use that to pay the bills first.”

“You can’t.” Jean held the handbag tightly. Anna had just put the money in her handbag when she suddenly fell ill. Jean dialed emergency services in a hurry. Only when they were in the ambulance, Jean realized that he had brought Anna’s handbag along with him. That was why he was currently holding onto his mother’s handbag.

Nina could tell that the money was inside the handbag. “Givethe handbag. Saving Mom’s life is the most important thing now.”

Jean shook his head. “Go and pay up then. Why do you want the handbag? The handbag belongs to Mom, and neither of us has the right to open it.”

“You’re afraid that I’ll use the money in it, right?” Nina glared at him, feeling thoroughly defeated that she was not able to take the money away from Jean. Jean was willing to neglect his mother’s life because he wanted the money in the handbag.

“Hmph, what nonsense!” Jean said. He was planning to use the money to go to the nightclub later. If he gave the money to Nina, he would have to stay at home.

“Give it to me!” Nina rushed up to him and tried to snatch the handbag.

Jean was taller and stronger than her. He lifted the handbag high and shoved Nina away.

He did not hold back. Nina stumbled a step backward.

Luca quickly went up and supported her. “Are you okay?” She whispered.

“I’m fine.” Nina shook her head and stood up straight.

Jean’s gaze fell on Luca. It was then that he realized the woman was Nina’s friend.

A sinister thought appeared in Jean’s head when he saw Luca’s beautiful face. While he hugged the handbag tightly, his gaze swept up and down Luca’s body.

Luca felt uneasy when she saw Jean ogling her. She felt a chill down her spine.

Jean might look like a decent person, but looks were deceiving. There was not a single shred of good in his personality now.

Luca fought the urge to slap him when he shoved Nina away.

She used to feel guilty for what happened to him, thinking that it was her fault that caused his decline.

She finally realized that Jean’s personality had always been like that. He happened to be very good at pretending.

The door to the CT scan room opened, and the nurse wheeled Anna out on a gurney. She glanced at Jean and asked him, “Have you paid the bills?”

“I told you that I didn’t bring my debit card. Givethe money first, and I’ll reimburse you later. That’ll do, right?” Nina compromised. She really did not bring her debit card with her.

The debit card was linked to the bank account containing the money that Percy gave her. She did not install the bankingon the phone because she was worried that Jean might steal her phone and gain access to the money.

Without the debit card with her, she could not access the money.

Jean did not believe her. He was about to say something when the nurse said, “I hope that you have the money to pay the bills with you. If you don’t, we can’t continue with the rest of the tests. You should go and pay up at the counter now and handthe receipts, then I can get the doctor to run the tests.”

Nina saw that her mother was lying unconscious on the bed. She said, “I have money, Miss, but I didn’t bring it with me. How about this? I’ll go and get the money now while you can start running the test on my mother. I promise I’ll be back soon!”

The nurse looked at the two people in front of her. Jean was behaving like a hooligan, while Nina was dressed in expensive clothes. She hesitated for a while but eventually shook her head. “That man said that you’ll be coming with the money, and that’s why we did the CT scan before the bill is paid. That’s already against hospital protocol. Now that you say that you don’t have any money with you, we can’t proceed with the rest of the tests. I’m sorry that we have to do things like this, but too many people have bailed on us without paying. Our director has given the order that we can’t do this except for dire circumstances. We’re already running the risk of disciplinary action by doing the CT scan before payment, and if you run away, we’ll have to bear the costs!”

Nina knew that the nurse was only doing her job. She turned around and prepared to snatch the handbag from Jean’s hands again.

When Luca saw that, she held Nina’s hand and said, “I have smoney with me, Nina. I can lend it to you first.”

She knew that Nina was a prideful person. Nina would not easily receive help from other people no matter the situation, which was why Luca said that she would lend the money instead of giving it to her.
