Chapter 1373 The Pressing Matter
"Alright," The doctor pulled up a chair, meticulously explaining the examination results to her, "Your father has been
suffering from hypertension for many years, coupled with high blood lipids and lack of proper medication, which
caused internal pressure in the brain, resulting in today's stroke. It's not a minor condition. This time, he was
fortunate, sent to the hospital promptly, and the surgery went fast. He's alright now, but future care is needed, we'll
discuss that after all tests are completed."
Listening to this, Beryl's heart tightened, "Will there be any complications after his surgery?"
"There won't be, you can rest assured. We are all professionals here. As long as he takes his medication and
maintains a good diet, there won't be any major issues."

operation, "How much does this surgery cost?"
When she asked this question, her voice unconsciously became softer. She knew that such a surgery, even if it's
minimally invasive, would certainly be expensive, easily costing about sixteen thousand dollars, not to mention the
subsequent hospitalization and medication costs, which would require even more money. For her unemployed
father, and her mother who only does odd jobs, this was a significant amount of money.
When she found out that her father was okay, her first reaction was the cost. You could say she's heartless or cares
too much about money, but it was an issue she couldn't escape from.
It was good that her father was okay, but money was a pressing issue that needed to be solved.
Beryl had already prepared to borrow money, regardless of the amount, the treatment must not be delayed.
"The cost, I have calculated for you. The surgery in total is about eleven thousand dollars. Subsequent medication
and hospitalization for recovery would require at least another ten thousand dollars. Some of this amount cannot
be reimbursed by medical insurance, the coverage rate is around 60%."
60%?
When Beryl heard this, she was taken aback. In other words, if the total cost is twenty thousand dollars, they would
have to pay twelve thousand dollars out of pocket.
Where was she going to get this money? Besides, twenty thousand dollars wouldn't even be enough.
Seeing her anxiety, the doctor comforted her with a smile, "I know you are worried about the cost. There's
something I haven't told you yet. The cost of this surgery has already been paid by Mr. Perkins."
"Already paid?" Beryl was both surprised and astonished, "When?"
"I'm not entirely sure, Dean Anderson informed us that it has all been accounted for." It was then that Beryl
realized. When he was on the phone with Dean Anderson, he had already taken care of this matter, she just didn't

Thinking of the amount, Beryl didn't feel relief. Instead, she felt even more stifled. All she could do was nod, "Okay, I
understand. Thank you for your help in the future, doctor."
"No problem."
After leaving the office, Beryl didn't head straight to the ward. Instead, she stood by the window at the end of the
corridor for a while. The thought of facing Marcellus made her very apprehensive.
What should she say to him?
Thank you! And thank you!
Neither seemed to fully express her feelings at the moment.
This wasn't the first time Marcellus had given her money, but this time was different from any other time. His
money had solved her biggest worry, but it also made her feel a strange kind of emotion.
That man seemed to have done her a great favor, so big that... she had no idea how to repay him.
