Chapter 249
Mrs. Parker choked on her tears. “It was a heart attack. The doctor managed to save him, and now
they are urging us to pay the fees.”
Afterward, Mrs. Parker looked at Aurelia with anticipation.
Aurelia froze and realized what Mrs. Parker wanted.
It seemed like Mrs. Parker was expecting Aurelia to take care of the expenses,
She suddenly remembered Leslie’s advice not to agree to anything hastily.
“Mrs. Parker, I’m sorry, but I don’t have much money on me. I only have a hundred dollars for living
expenses. I’ll ask the nurse if it’s possible to accumulate medical debts for treatment,” she said
gingerly.
Mrs. Parker was familiar with hospital procedures due to her husband’s extended hospital stay, so she
understood that hospitals wouldn’t neglect a patient in critical condition.
“But what about later? If there’s no money in the card…” Mrs. Parker was at a loss.
“Let’s try to reach Millie first. She should be able to help.” Aurelia steered the conversation back to
the focus.
However, Mrs. Parker grabbed Aurelia’s hand and pleaded tearfully, “Aurelia, can you keep this matter
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtprivate? If word got out, it would ruin Millie’s reputation as a woman. Borrowing money online and
getting involved with wealthy young men could ruin her.”
Aurelia finally understood why Mrs. Parker had sought her help.
It wasn’t just about money but also about preserving Millie’s dignity.
Mrs. Parker didn’t want other relatives and friends to find out about the situation.
Aurelia patted Mrs. Parker’s hand reassuringly and said, “Mrs. Parker, I won’t say a word. But you must
discipline Millie well in this matter, or it will lead to bigger problems”
Mrs. Parker nodded apologetically. “Aurelia, I’m sorry. I just… I really don’t have any money right
now.”
“Mrs. Parker, I understand. I’ll go find a nurse. Let’s first take care of Mr. Parker’s situation. You can try
to call Millie.”
Seeing how helpless Mrs. Parker was, Aurelia couldn’t help but feel sympathetic.
She glanced at Leslie and the two left the room to find nurses and doctors.
After completing the necessary procedures, Aurelia tried calling Millie again. However, the call went to
voicemail once more.
She looked at Leslie and asked, “Mr. Synder, when you collided with Jackson’s car before, did you

manage to get Jackson’s phone number? Millie is wearing a diamond ring worth over twenty-eight
thousand today, claiming it’s a gift from Jackson. I think they might be together.”
“That’s impossible. Jackson has been confined to his home by his father since last night. His father is
preparing his paperwork for going abroad. How could he have given a diamond ring to Millie?” he
said.
This information came directly from Jackson’s father when he personally came to apologize for the car
incident, so it couldn’t be false.
Aurelia was taken aback. “You know that much?”
“Yeah, Mr. Xenos mentioned it,” Leslie said.
“Then… Did Millie really buy that diamond ring herself? Why is she doing this?” Aurelia inquired.
“Because she’s ashamed,” Leslie responded bluntly.
“Isn’t dignity something earned through one’s own efforts? What’s the point in depending on loans and
men?” Aurelia asked.
“How many people are willing to work diligently after obtaining things without paying a price?” be

Leslie was right.
Millie had had a taste of the glorious life she could obtain from Jackson, so how could she ever want to
return to an ordinary life?
Jackson was merely having fun, but she took it seriously and became increasingly blinded by it
Now that Jackson was traveling overseas, she started borrowing money to continue a luxurious
lifestyle.
Aurelia felt a headache coming on. “What should we do now then? Are we supposed to just stand idly
by?”
“We shouldn’t go beyond our capabilities to help. If you mess up, this will all be your fault.
“You just mentioned that Millie bought a diamond ring that cost around 28 thousand dollars. If it’s new
and from a designer brand, it can still be sold. All her designer brand products can be sold as well.
“That should be enough to help her father,” Leslie said as he looked at her.
Aurelia didn’t own any designer brand products and didn’t know they could be sold. She saw hope the
moment Leslie gave his suggestion.
“Alright. I will tell Mrs. Parker now.” She hurried over to Mrs. Parker and told her that the luxury items
could be sold.
Mrs. Parker nodded. “I saw a lot of purses and clothes in Millie’s closet. Can those really be sold?”
