My phone rang again. It was the insurance company.
y.0
“Ms. Montgomery, your husband’s accidental death insurance claim has been approved. The payout of ten million dollars has been transferred to your bank account…”
I rubbed my hands together. It was time to visit Everly.”
I had a good night’s sleep and took a taxi to the hospital. As soon as I arrived at the hospital entrance, I saw Everly.
She went straight to the Orthopedic Inpatient Department, and I followed her into the ward.
In the ward, Lyla was holding Everly and crying. “Everly, I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault. I should have let you and Archer get married sooner.” Everly also cried, “Lyla, I don’t blame you. It’s all that bitch Ava’s fault for not letting go.“}]
I pushed open the ward door. “Lyla, it’s not too late to fix things. Let Archer marry her today!“}
Lyla let go of Everly’s hand and turned to instruct me,
“Ava, you’re just in time. Pay the hospital bill. Don’t let the hospital keep reminding us. The Pierces are a respectable family. Also, this two–person room is too cramped. Transfer her to a VIP room.“}]
She said it as if it were a matter of course, genuinely delusional.”
First, she ganged up with the mistress to insult me, and then she asked me to pay the hospital bill and even get a VIP room.
Before, for Archer’s sake, I would do anything she asked.”
Now? She was dreaming.
Not even in her wildest dreams.
I tossed a piece of paper to her. “Lyla, did you know your son Archer is dead?“}
Then I turned to Everly.”
“So, you still want to marry my husband? How about this, I’ll arrange a wedding for you two tonight!”
Patients and their families in the neighboring bed instantly perked up their ears.
