“Okay, I'll play along with you." Anna bucked up and agreed without a second thought.

The woman beside their ward bed shook her head helplessly when she saw this. She had been in the hospital all this while and knew what their situation was.

She thought the daughter of the patient beside was unfilial. After all, her daughter seldom came to the hospital to visit her mother.

She finally knew the reason now.

Anyone would have done the same thing. They would not want anything to do with this kind of mother and brother.

Jean knew he had successfully convinced his mother. A gleam flashed across his eyes. He picked up his phone and began to put on a show.

After Nina returned to her office, her phone rang. She glanced at it and saw Jean calling her. She thought for a moment. Jean must be up to no good if he was calling her. Hence, she hung up the call without a second thought.

After a while, Anna called.

Nina was annoyed. After Jean, it was Anna now. They must be up to something, and it was probably because of accommodation issues. She refused to answer the call and rejected it immediately. Then, she sent a message to her: [I'm in a meeting now. Just leave a message if there's anything else you'd like to tell me."

After a while, Anna sent a message: [I have a situation here. Get here as soon as possible.]

Nina did not stand up immediately. After all, Anna had been using such methods to lure her to the hospital. She refused to fall for it again.

She replied to her message: [Just say it here. I'm busy.]

[Nina, what an unfilial daughter you are. You'll have to deal with my funeral affairs tomorrow if you don't come today!] Anna had to use such means when Nina refused to answer her call and come over to the hospital.

Nina shook her head helplessly. Sometimes, trouble would come looking for her even if she did not go looking for it herself—just like what was happening now.

threatening Nina with her death left Nina with no choice but to reply to her message: [I'll head to the hospital after I finish
