"Although we have taken out the pencil wick through the operation, it is very likely that it will be infected in the later stage and cause permanent visual damage. In the worst cases, the eyeball would be removed."
"She must stay in the hospital for a while."
Remove the eyeball?
I felt the world spinning around me.
Ethan was calm.
After the doctor left, he had to follow the nurse to pay for the bills.
I immediately came to my senses and grabbed him. "Eddy did it. Shouldn't Clifton pay?"
Clifton was stunned. He looked at me and then at Ethan. "Ethan, I have no money. Marie controls it."
"Go pay now. I'll give you the rest when she is discharged from the hospital, okay?"
Ethan was too embarrassed to accept it. He said that there was no need to settle the score as they were brothers. Then he was about to leave.
I grabbed him.
"Eddy made the mistake. Clifton, you'd better call Marie and ask her to bring the money over as soon as possible!"
Seeing this, Emma was unhappy. "Hey, Ava, what's wrong with you today? Clifton has already said that he didn't bring any money with him. Why are you pushing him so hard?"
I knew that if they didn't pay now, they wouldn't after Julie was discharged.
