Filed to story: I Got Married Without You
At this time, Daniel was sitting in front of the bed, holding a straw kettle, putting it on the pregnant woman’s lips, and feeding her water.
The two did nothing particularly excessive. They just looked at each other while feeding water. “Let’s go in first.”
Eva looked uncomfortable, but she temporarily suppressed the uncomfortable feeling under Rosalyn’s reminder.
Eva smiled, picked up the fruit basket, and entered the ward.
“Daniel…”
Hearing the sound Eva, Daniel stopped feeding the water, and the pregnant woman was stunned.
The two seemed to have prepared in advance and quickly returned to normal. Daniel took the lead in putting down the kettle, getting up, and walking to Eva. “Why are you here?”
Eva glanced at Daniel indifferently. Usually, when they met on the road, he would call her honey first, but not today.
Eva’s eyes dimmed, and she looked at the pregnant woman. It was as if she had seen her rival in love, which made her reluctant to reply.
Seeing her like this, Rosalyn quickly stood up and explained, “I told Eva about it that she was nearby. She knew your sister was ill, so she came to see you…” Rosalyn gently pushed Eva’s elbow, and Eva looked away only then. With a smile, she handed the fruit basket to Daniel.
“Why didn’t you tell me that your sister is ill? I know a doctor at Arcadia University Hospital. If you tell me in advance, I can help introduce you to it. A public hospital is much cheaper than a private hospital. Why should you spend so much money on it?”
The latter half of Eva’s words meant they didn’t want to go to the public hospital but secretly came to the private one. They had a guilty conscience.
Daniel panicked for a moment, but he quickly covered it up. “My sister didn’t pay for her medical insurance either. It’s the same for her to go to a public or private hospital.”
Eva smiled faintly, “This is a famous noble hospital in Arcadia, which is much more expensive than a public hospital.”
Daniel had always complained about being poor before Eva. Still, he had the money to bring his sister to such an expensive private hospital.
Eva began to suspect that the 200,000 dollars Daniel had taken away were for his sister’s treatment.
If she was really his sister, it would be acceptable to spend 200,000 dollars. If she was not…
Eva glared at Daniel. Daniel’s heart trembled, but he didn’t show it.
Daniel took the fruit basket from Eva’s hand and explained, “My brother-in-law doesn’t lack money, but he is abroad and can’t come back to take care of my sister in time.”
The woman half-lying on the hospital bed also chimed in at the right time, “Eva, right? I’m sorry, my husband is not by my side. It just so happens that Daniel has just returned, and I felt the fetus’s movement. I must trouble him to send me to the big hospital as soon as possible…”
Afterward, she glared at Daniel and said, “It’s all your fault. I asked you to inform my sister-in-law in advance, but you were so nervous that you forgot about it.”
The first sentence made Eva feel very uncomfortable. The second sentence, “you were so nervous that you forgot about it,” almost made Eva furious. What kind of sarcasm was this? Her means were too low.
Eva said calmly, “It doesn’t matter. Whether he informs me or not, as your ‘sister-in-law,’ I will come to visit you.”
She emphasized the word “sister-in-law,” The pregnant woman lying on the hospital bed obviously darkened her face.
Rosalyn didn’t miss the pregnant woman’s mood change at all.
At this time, seeing that the pregnant woman seemed to mind Eva calling herself sister-in-law very much. Rosalyn couldn’t help but interrupt, “Eva, maybe Daniel didn’t want you to work too hard, so he didn’t tell you. Otherwise, as a sister-in-law, you will come to the hospital to care for her when she is ill.”
After saying that, Rosalyn glanced at Daniel. “Isn’t that right, Daniel…”
Rosalyn called him to remind him that Eva was her biological sister in her heart.
She would never let him go so quickly if he dared to bu lly her elder sister, Eva’s younger sister.
Under such circumstances, Daniel could only nod with a smile.
“Of course, I don’t want Eva to be too tired.”
Only then did Eva step forward and hold Daniel’s arm. “Hubby, you’re the best to me. I’ve been with you for so long, but you’ve never asked me to do housework…”
Eva deliberately stretched out her slender wh ite fingers and waved them before the pregnant woman. “Look, how tender my hands are…”
The pregnant woman’s face turned pale again. She wanted to say something, but she obediently sh ut her mouth under the hint of Daniel’s eyes. Although Eva was pretending to show off, she saw their expressions. Instead of changing her face on the spot, she was remarkably calm.
“Hubby, are you afraid I’ll be tired from the journey and won’t let me return to your hometown? I don’t even know your family. What’s your sister’s name? When did she get pregnant? Where did she marry? Why did she feel the fetus movement as soon as you went back? Is it serious enough to be hospitalized?”
Faced with Eva’s interrogation, Daniel’s palms were sweaty, but he seemed to have been ment ally prepared for it. He said calmly, “My brother-in-law is repairing the road in the village this year, I plan to take you home during the Spring Festival…”
Daniel used this sentence to appease the doubts about not bringing Eva back to his hometown. He continued, “As for my sister, her name is Lina. She married into the neighboring village. She got engaged at the beginning of this year. Before she could get the marriage certificate, the man went to South Africa. I was worried that something would happen between them, so I didn’t tell you. Who knew that she was pregnant? I only found out when I returned to my hometown today…”
Speaking of this, Daniel glared at Lina with resentment. “Pregnant is such a big deal. If I hadn’t seen her on the way home, I’m afraid she would have kept it a secret from us…”
After glaring at her, Daniel looked at Eva and said, “After I took her home, the family was in a mess again. They were all in debt. Before I could pay off the debt, my sister took the initiative to help them pay off the loan. Only then did I know my brother-in-law had made money in South Africa. After knowing that she was pregnant, he gave her living expenses on time every month, so I was relieved. But my parents felt she was pregnant before getting the marriage certificate. They scolded my sister a little. My sister was unconvinced and quarreled with them. Maybe she was too emotional, so she was angry. But it’s not serious. The doctor suggested that she be hospitalized for some time before I helped her get hospitalized.”
After explaining, Daniel took a bank card from his pocket and handed it to Eva. “I wanted to transfer 200,000 dollars to pay off the debt first. Since my sister helped them pay it back, you’ll keep the money.” After listening to his explanation and seeing this bank card, Eva suddenly didn’t know what to do.
She was a little confused. She looked at Daniel and then at Rosalyn as if she was asking what was going on.
Daniel’s words were flawless, and everything he said made sense.
If it weren’t for the fact that she had witnessed the intimacy between the two, she would have believed Daniel’s words.
When Rosalyn discovered that Daniel had asked Eva to repay the mortgage and daily expenses, she doubted his character.
Now that Daniel could still escape unscathed even though she had something on him, it meant that he was not a simple person.
However, Rosalyn would not say these words in front of them. She was afraid that she would alert them.
Rosalyn pretended to be stu pid and smiled at Eva. “Eva, it seems that Daniel feels sorry for you. It’s difficult for you to make money, so he gave it to you for safekeeping.”
Rosalyn hinted for Eva to take the money. Eva could naturally tell and quickly took away Daniel’s bank card.
To make it easier for Daniel to withdraw cash, he transferred 200,000 dollars to the bank card of the village bank.
Although this was very in line with the practice of paying off the debt, cash withdrawal could prevent people from finding the source of the money.
“Hubby, you’re so nice…”
Eva pretended not to know anything. She hugged his arm and kissed him. “What’s the password?”
Daniel smiled and scratched Eva’s nose as if he loved her. His eyes were full of affection. “And your birthday…”
Lying on the bed, Lina’s eyes darkened when she saw the sweet couple. It was as if she found them an eyesore. She clenched her teeth and said, “Eva, I don’t feel well. I want to rest for a while. Why don’t you go out first…”
Lina only told Eva to go out, but not her brother, which made Eva’s hand holding the bank card stiffen.
