Chapter 51 Medical Bills

“Nothing,” Kerwin said calmly and handed a plate of bread to Betty. “Have breakfast.”

Betty wasn’t bothered. She sat down and her mind wandered to her mom’s medical fees when having breakfast.

Kerwin glanced at Betty’s knitted brows from time to time. Now he knew what troubled her all the time.

Kerwin put a fried egg on Betty’s plate and said in an undertone, “Betty, we can find a good time to visit your mom.”

Betty froze for a moment. She looked up at Kerwin hastily and met his gaze.

 

“No, no need…” She shifted her gaze. “My mom is in bad condition. She needs a quiet rest.”

Betty’s words were ambiguous. She said nothing about her mom’s severe illness or medical fees.

Kerwin’s eyes turned sharp.

In his life, he had met different types of women, like women who played with him for fun or ladies that came from noble families. However, all of them would reveal their softness and weakness, to make him show care for them.

Betty and those women were poles apart.

Though they were married, she had never asked him for anything. To be exact, she was trying to

avoid getting anything from him.

The fact that she distanced herself from him on purpose annoyed Kerwin.

“Really?” Kerwin’s voice got colder. “Then I hope your mom recovers soon.”

Betty frowned slightly.
