She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 372

By the time Athena was about to deal with Andrew, Ronan had already completed the surgery.

The surgery was very successful, but Ronan needed to recuperate for a long time. Additionally, he must avoid putting any strain on his left leg, which rules out activities like climbing buildings, lifting heavy weights, walking at a brisk pace, running, and similar exertions. Ronan touched his left leg, his expression clouded with concern. It seems my working days are over. I wonder which of my grandchildren would be willing to take me in..."

Maria remained silent. In any case, her family would definitely not do that.

At that moment, the ward door swung open. The insurance saleswoman strode in briskly, her voice filled with cheer as she announced, "Miss Donovan, I have fantastic news. The lottery you entered when purchasing your medical insurance has concluded, and you've won an extraordinary prize: a VIP membership for two at a premier nursing home in Sowan Town."

Maria cooperated with her acting. "What's the use of it?"

The salesgirl said nimbly, "This means two seniors in your family can reside in the premier nursing home in Sowan Town, where all meals and accommodations are provided. The costs of their care will be covered by their personal health insurance, with an additional 80% reimbursement from the nursing home. The level of care is nearly on par with that of retired civil servants. They could potentially spend the rest of their days there. It's like having a lifelong companion in a nursing home."

"Oh, I was so lucky," Maria said excitedly, "Are you referring to the town known for longevity? That's a wonderful place. With

so many seniors in my family, these two places are invaluable."

Though Sowan Town was encircled by mountains, rendering it somewhat isolated with limited transportation and a less developed economy, its natural beauty was unparalleled. The pristine environment of nature was meticulously preserved, and both air and drinking water quality ranked among the finest in the nation.

The town was home to numerous centenarians, earning its reputation as one of the country's most long-lived areas, and was known as the "town of longevity."

Many terminally ill patients moved there, and it was reported that their conditions and overall well-being had generally seen significant improvements.

"That's correct," the salesgirl remarked with a touch of envy. "Two places for a lifetime and an 80% reimbursement for medical treatment-can you fathom the savings? The residence is home to numerous retired civil servants. If I had the means, I'd certainly consider sending my parents there as well."

Maria asked, "You won't lie to me about such a good thing, right?"

"This is the contract for the nursing home, and it explicitly states that as long as the elderly individual you designate is over 55 years of age, they are eligible for hospitalization." "That's great." Maria took the contract and pretended to browse through it. "My grandparents can go. Mom and Dad are almost 55 years old,
