Chapter 721 Heart Problems, Surgery Required

"Last night's surgery fees, including medication and consultation fees," the nurse said, "have already accumulated to several tens of thousands of dollars. You need to pay immediately, or we won't be able to continue administering medication."

Debra's eyes widened. "What? More debt? That's impossible! When Brandon brought him to the hospital yesterday, I saw him pay $30,000 directly! How could $30,000 be gone in just one night?"

"Here's the bill. You can check it yourself."

"Let me see!" Debra snatched it away. "So expensive!"

The nurse explained, "The patient has a heart problem and needs a stent. If we use imported materials, the cost will be even higher."

"Higher?" Debra asked, "How much more at least?"

"At least a hundred thousand dollars," the nurse replied. "You'll need to discuss the specifics with the doctor, including the surgery and medication."

"We've already spent over $30,000, and now we need to spend another hundred thousand? Are you robbing us?"

Debra's voice was sharp and piercing. The nurse, seeing she was not someone to mess with, picked up the tray and walked out. "Talk to the attending physician."

"Hey, stop, come back! What kind of attitude is that? I'm not done asking questions!"

Debra cursed under her breath, glanced at the bill in her hand, crumpled it up, and threw it in the trash. "In the past, a hundred thousand dollars would have been enough for me to buy a platinum bag."

She looked again at Brent lying on the hospital bed. "After all these years with you, I haven't enjoyed much of your wealth. Even Isabella was sent to you and didn't stay with me. I thought by leaving me, her third-party mother, she could escape her shameful origins, but she got dragged into this too."

"And now, you're sick, and the company is on the brink of bankruptcy. No one dares to lend money to take over. The only one who can save The Mitchells is Mr. Davis. If he steps in, it will definitely work."
