Chapter 1318 Opening A Hospital
“Nicole, you’ve been through a lot these past few years. We’ve encountered so much together as well. You gave birth to five children, and that’s an amazing feat. I hope you can have a peaceful future and do whatever you want. You don’t have to make a career for yourself.”
“But I’ll have regrets if I don’t do this. I want to do something!”
After pondering for a while, Evan replied, “How about we do something meaningful?”
“Like what?”
“Let’s open a hospital. You can use your acupuncture skills and save people. We can waive the consultation fees for people who are in difficulty. It would be meaningful to help people, and you would feel a sense of satisfaction too.”
Nicole pondered over the idea for a while. That’s right. There are many people that can manage a company, but there aren’t many that are as skilled as me and have as much medical expertise. If I could help more people, it would be great.
“What about my previous clinic?”
“That clinic was too small. You only opened it so that you could take care of the children. Also, the consultation fees were low as you wanted to help people. That’s why your finances were not that good. That won’t happen this time.”
“Evan, are you trying to say that you’re going to invest money in me so that I can save people?”
After a moment of contemplation, Evan suggested, “I can’t keep investing money in it as it wouldn’t be feasible in the long run. How about this? We can use the profits earned by the hospital and reinvest them back. If the hospital doesn’t earn that much profit, then we can add on a certain amount of funds every month. What do you think?”
Nicole analyzed, “Not all those that go to the hospital will be people in financial difficulty. We don’t have to do charity for those that can afford it. Then, we can use this revenue to fund those that don’t have money for treatment. I think we wouldn’t need to add on too much.”
“Good. Then I’ll leave the financial managing of the hospital to you.”
Elation flooded Nicole as she nodded. “What shall we call the hospital?”
“You can name it yourself!”
“Me?”
“Yes. From now on, you’re in charge of the hospital. You can start by naming it.”
Nicole was excited and started thinking of names for the hospital. She was determined to find a meaningful name for it.
The next day, Juan was sitting opposite Evan as they ate breakfast. He recalled Evan’s wrongful accusation last night and felt indignant.
On the other hand, Evan was leisurely eating his breakfast and would look at Juan occasionally.
It’s now or never! Juan demanded in an upset tone, “Daddy, why did you instigate Mommy to beat me?”
“What did you say?”
“Mommy hit me using the feather duster last night because you wrongfully accused me.”
“Wronged you?” Evan glared at him coldly. “I have to ask, how did you even think of scaring your female classmate with rats and snakes?”
Juan’s heart lurched. Isn’t the school in a private facility? Aren’t all the happenings in school kept confidential? How did Daddy find out?
“Spit it out!” Evan suddenly raised his voice, leading to Juan jumping in fright.
“She brought it upon herself! Instead of going for lessons, she came to bother me. I just scared her a few times so that she wouldn’t come and bother me anymore.”
“Yes, and she became so scared that she doesn’t even dare to stay in school anymore and dropped out!”
Juan was dumbfounded. How does Daddy know so many details?
He carefully asked, “Daddy, how do you know all these?”
“Your grandma told me.”
Juan was shocked. “Grandma? How did she find out about it?”
“She wanted to introduce a girl to you. However, when the girl heard your name, she adamantly refused to meet you as if she had heard the devil’s name. She even said that she would never marry you even if you were the last man on Earth.”
