Chris nodded again and commented, “I like the way you think, Chelsea. Not to worry, I’ll get someone to do the job. Hilton won't notice at all.”

Chelsea handed a ziplock bag containing her hair to Chris and said, “Thank you, Chris. I'll treat you to dinner someday to show my gratitude. See you Later.”

Chris replied with a smile. After leaving Chris’s office, Chelsea went to Hilton’s ward. It wasn’t a private one. When she pushed the door open and entered, she met Hilton sitting up on the bed and chatting heartily with other patients.

Once he noticed Chelsea’s presence, he immediately rolled his eyes. He held his chest and put on a mask of pain. “Oh, my heart. I’m so weak.”

“Dad, what’s wrong? How bad does it hurt? Should | call the doctor?” Chelsea immediately asked and rushed up to him, pretending not to see through his bad acting.

Hilton immediately flipped the switch. He opened his eyes and said, “No, there’s no need. It’s just a slight chest pain. | feel better now.

“Oh, okay. Anyway, | just spoke to your attending doctor and he said your illness is serious. According to him, you would have to stay in the hospital for a long time,” Chelsea said, standing by his bedside.

She intentionally changed the topic so he could ask her for money.

Rising to the bait, Hilton sighed heavily and said, “Yes, | might need to have an operation to get better. My dear daughter, an operation would cost a lot of money. I’m poor. How do | pay for it

The eyes of all the patients and their families were fixed on Chelsea once they heard Hilton’s statement.

Chelsea ignored the awkward gazes and took out her phone. She said, “Dad, you know | just got back and | haven’t been working for Long. My salary is barely enough for my living expenses. | saved up smoney for my rent, but you can have it. | will transfer it to you now.”

Chelsea intentionally spoke about her financial status to the hearing of everyone present. She wanted to make it clear so no one would accuse her of not taking care of him in the future. After all, she was about to empty her savings for him.

Hilton’s eyes lit up. He stared at her phone and asked, “Really? How much is it?”

“Twenty thousand dollars,” Chelsea answered simply A deep frown appeared on Hilton's face immediately. He uttered with displeasure, “Only twenty thousand? That’s not enough!”

Chelsea’s eyes turned red in an instant. “What do you mean it’s not enough? This is my entire savings. I’m inconveniencing myself for your sake. | only went into the labor market a while back. | don’t earn much. How much do you think | have? Besides, | gave you more than one hundred thousand dollars a year ago after | divorced. What did you do with it?”

A patient, who felt that Hilton was being too hard on Chelsea, cut in immediately, “Con, Hilton. Cut your daughter some slack. Money is hard to cby these days. If you ask me, twenty thousand is enough to cater to your expenses for a long period.”

Another man echoed, “Yes, your daughter recently got divorced. She's still trying to gain a foothold in the labor market. Life must be hard on her already. Don’t make things more difficult for her.”

Hilton felt embarrassed, so he had to say, “All right, I'll manage that amount. Transfer it to me.”

Half a loaf was better than none, so he decided to make do with what he was offered. Besides, he wasn’t sick. He planned to leave the hospital soon and gamble the money away.

He firmly believed that he would hit a jackpot one day since he had been gambling for so many years.

In the presence of Hilton and several other patients, Chelsea transferred twenty thousand dollars to Hilton.

Agreedy smile played on Hilton’s face as she did this. Noticing this, repulsion rose in her heart. She began to choke with tears and uttered, “Dad, | only have the money for meals now. | did my best but this is all | could do.”

Having said that, Chelsea put on a good show of wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes. There was something about her that aroused pity in other people’s hearts.

When Hilton was about to say something, a family member of one of the patients said, “Look, your daughter is doing her best for you.”
