Crossroads

Chapter 236

When Stephanie was in a deep coma, she had been having nightmares. Although

the sedatives had worn off, she

she still remained unconscious,

By the time Diana was notified to rush to the hospital, Stephanie had already been asleep in the hospital bed for three days and nights.

this When the head nurse of the ward saw Diana arriving, she immediately came forward to explain the situation, “The patient woke up once the day after the surgery. She was very emotionally unstable, so we gave her a sedative. She has been sleeping for three days since then and woke up morning. But when we asked if she had any relatives, she wouldn’t speak…

“The traffic division reviewed the street footage from the rainy night of the accident and found that you were arguing with her by the roadside. You must know her, right?”

In her rush to get there, Diana’s hair and clothes were somewhat messy. She stood frozen at the door of the ward, unable to take a step inside.

Her eyes were filled with shock, and her heart was heavy with sorrow as she looked at Stephanie’s pale and weak face on the hospital bed. Diana wondered with dread. My niece has always been so lively. How could she become so lifeless and mentally unstable?‘

The head nurse also looked over at the hospital bed and said with an annoyed expression, “She owes us over 2,000 dollars in medical bills already. 1 heard she even stole a car. No wonder her man doesn’t visit her. Maybe she doesn’t have family. She had been missing for days, yet no one filed a report on her. The director said she has mental issues and needs to be transferred to the psychiatric ward, but she has no money for treatment. This is such a bother”

Diana replied to the nurse with a displeased expression, “She is my niece. I will cover the medical bills.”

When the head nurse heard that she looked at her disdainfully and coldly urged. “Since you’re her relative, then go pay the bill. The total as of today is ten thousand six hundred dollars. It can’t be delayed any longer. If you don’t pay by today, we’ll have to stop her medication according to the regulations.

Diana was instantly angered. “I already said I would pay. Do you have to be so harsh?”

“We’ve been kind enough to let her stay for so long. If everyone used medical resources for free like this, our hospital would be in chaos, And look at what kind of person your niece is. She stole a car while pregnant and even recklessly drove onto the highway. Who’s to blame for that? The head nurse spoke matter–of–factly, After noticing Diana’s plain clothes, she worried she wouldn’t pay and turned to summon a new nurse, instructing. “Go with her to the lobby to pay the bill and prepay more expenses.”

Even with the best of tempers, she was infuriated. “Can’t I see her first and then go pay?”
