You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 7

St. Maria Hospital was one of the best hospitals in Khebury, with all the cutting-edge facilities.

Joyce ran around for two days and finally arranged for Justin to be hospitalized.

They finally settled down in a single-room intensive care unit. Although it was expensive, she knew Justin didn't like crowds.

Everything went well and the surgery would take place next week.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Justin, how about you rest in your room while I go get you dinner and eat the grouper rice from the place around the corner? There are still some details I need to check with the bedside doctor."

"Hmm," Justin responded as he pushed his wheelchair to the floor-to-ceiling window.

The feeling he had was complicated, contradictory, and chaotic. Naturally, he wanted to stand up.

But once his legs were cured and she finally put down her responsibilities, would there ... be no more involvement between him and her ...

At least now, because of his legs, he was able to keep her around.

Thinking about it, his mind was in turmoil again.

He suddenly felt overwhelmed by his fear. For two years, both before and after the injury, no matter how hard he tried, he just could not get her heart.

"Then I'll go and you just wait for me here."

Joyce gently closed the door and walked out of the room.

Not far from the hospital room, Joyce received a call from the hospital billing center.

She frowned and had a bad feeling in her heart.

She lowered her voice and picked up the phone. Trying not to be heard by Justin.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

"Hello Ms. Joe, you need to pay an additional $300,000 for inpatient surgery prepayment."

"What?!" Joyce was surprised, "The patient just checked in at the ward today, didn't I pay enough for the deposit?"

"Here's the thing, after Doctor Channing looked into the condition of the patient, it was decided that we would have to ask Doctor Smith who is a Mufron specialist to come over for this operation and that we might need to use the latest technology for bone nailing. This is the only way to maximize the effectiveness of the surgery. That's why you will need to pay another $300,000."

300,000 ...
