Chapter 254
She could never forget the contemptuous look on Mrs. Morrison's face when she introduced herself as Jackson’s girlfriend. “Girlfriend? Which one? You seem a little dim-witted, young lady,” Mrs. Morrison said before leaving with her bodyguards. Millie thought that she must've dressed too plainly.
So, she went to buy a set of designer brand clothing after that.
Looking at Aurelia now, she was just wearing a simple dress.
Why did she get the approval of her mother-in-law?
As Millie sank deep in thought, a doctor stepped out of the operation room.
“Are the patient’s immediate family members here?”
Millie immediately snapped out of her thoughts. “I’m his daughter.”
“He is out of the critical state now. This is the perfect timing for the surgery. You need to make a decision whether you want a stent and bypass surgery. We also need time to prepare.”
“H... How much will it cost?” Millie asked hesitantly.
“Just prepare around 14 thousand for now.” The doctor estimated a figure.
Aconflicted look appeared on Millie’s face.
Glancing at the expensive purse she was carrying, the doctor urged, “Well?”
Millie dug her nails into the purse and asked, “Doctor, since my dad is safe for now, can we just opt for minimal treatment?” The doctor frowned.
He reminded her, “Your father has been in critical states twice since he was admitted. His
allow him to handle much more. You better consider this carefully.”
“|... | think | will opt for the minimal treatment.” Millie bowed her head.
Infuriated by what she heard, Aurelia rushed forward.
However, someone beat her to it and gave Millie a heavy slap across the face.
Millie stared at the person before her and spoke in a trembling voice, “Mom...”
“You're not my daughter!”

Mrs. Parker pushed her away and turned to the doctor. “Doctor, we'll pay right away. Please save my husband.”

“Don't worry, a bitging surgery would be more appropriate for the current situation. Given the recent critical condition, inserting a stent may only provide a temporary solution.”
“Okay, okay. We'll follow your advice, I'll go pay now.” Mrs. Parker sald while sobbing. The doctor called a nurse for assistance and then entered the operation room.
Mrs. Parker, who usually doted on Millie, turned and glared at her daughter.
“Millie, do you know what you just said?”
“Mom, you've already slapped me. If there’s anything you want to say, we can talk about it later. Don’t embarrass yourself in front of so many people.” Millie turned away.
Just then, her mother noticed the bag in Millie’s hand.
Her eyes reddened in anger and she exclaimed, “You bought another purse! Where did you get the money?” Millie pressed her lips together and remained silent.

“These purses cost thousands each, and you bought a whole wardrobe of them. Yet, when dad needed surgery, you stood by and did nothing. Have you lost all sense of decency?” Mrs. Parker asked.
Millie was taken aback. How did her mom know how much they cost?
Normally, she would make up prices whenever her mom asked.
She violently turned her head and looked at Aurelia.
“Was it you? It must be you who told my mom about this! Aurelia! Are you trying to kill me?” Aurelia frowned.
But before she could say anything, Leslie stepped in front of her.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
He gave Millie a disdainful look.
“Aren't you the person who’s trying to kill yourself and your own father?”
“Who are you to lecture me? Do you even know who | am?” Millie shouted.
“| know. You're the woman Jackson doesn’t want,” he said calmly.
“Nonsense! Shut up!” Millie’s eyes
reddened.
“Do you know how much it cost to book the entire Japanese restaurant we dined in?” Leslie asked calmly. Millie was taken aback and looked at him in puzzlement.
“Based on the menu prices from yesterday, Jackson spent 17 thousand. Judging from the gifts he Chapter 254
bought for you, none of them cost over seven thousand. Do you not get it? To him, you aren’t even worth seven thousand. There’s no way that he would spend 17 thousand to please you.”
