Chapter 136
“Hm, not bad. Are you going to give me all of that p>
“No way! I can only get an advance for six months! I need money to live too, don’t you know? Just give
me your bank account number and I’ll transfer the fee for one semester to you first,” Sasha said, her
joy from earlier disappearing into thin air.
What the hell is he thinking? I can’t give him everything at once?
He’d be better off rob the banks if he wants so much money at once! He’s such a sly business man!
Luckily for her, that scumbag was feeling rather generous that day. He sent her his bank account
number through text and said, “Oh, remember to pick up the kids later p>
“Why aren’t you going?” she asked instinctively.
Sebastian swirled the coffee around in his cup and grinned. “Aren’t you their mother p>
“Aren’t you their father? Why don’t you go then p>
“I’m busy p>
“As though I’m not!” Sasha retorted. “Listen up, Sebastian. now that I have a job, we need to split up
the work. I’ll pick them up on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, and you’ll pick them up on
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. That’s it. See you p>
She hung up before he could say anything in protest.
Seething with anger, Sebastian almost threw his cup of coffee onto the ground.
Luke watched from afar with a wide grin on his face.
That’s what you get for kicking up a fuss over a million when your net worth is already well over a
hundred billion?
Serves you right, Boss!
Sasha was not lying when she said that she was busy.
Just seconds after she ended the call, several doctors had already surrounded her in a tight circle.
“Dr. Nancy! Are you the legendary doctor from Clear? I must be dreaming p>
“Welcome to the internal medicine department, Dr. Nancy p>
“Do you mind if I consult you on this patient’s condition, Dr. Nancy p>
The doctors were excited to meet their idol, and none of them were going to leave her alone anytime
soon.
Sighing, she had no choice but to stay and talk to them. “Sure. I specialize in TCM, though. I’m not sure
what I can bring to the table in terms of Western medicine p>
“That’s alright! We’re badly in need of TCM practitioners in this hospital anyway p>
“That’s right, Dr. Nancy! Many of our patients have actually requested TCM treatment, especially the
older and the richer ones p>
“Like the ones in the nursing home p>
Someone whispered something about a nursing home in the crowd, and everyone fell silent
immediately.
Sasha glanced at the young nurse who said that. Nursing home?
This hospital has a nursing home?
She smiled at the nurse. “There’s a nursing home here? Does it belong to us p>
Sasha had learned to be smart when talking to people after going through hell and back in the past five
years. Hence, she addressed the hospital and its staff as ‘us’ reignited the enthusiasm amongst the
crowd.
“That’s right. Only the rich ones stay there p>
“Yeah! By the way, the hospital promised to reward whoever cures them of their ailments handsomely p>
Sasha’s ears perked up at the sound of that.
She would be completely broke after transferring her savings and the salary the hospital gave her in
advance, and nothing sounded more enticing than the promise of a reward.
“Oh, really? Can you bring me there tomorrow p>
“Sure, Dr. Nancy! I’m sure you’ll be able to help them p>
The doctors and nurses cheered in unison, and it brought a smile to Sasha’s face too.
Two hours later, the time came to pick the kids up from school.
Sebastian glanced at his watch and sighed as he got up from his desk and headed towards the
carpark.
“Are you going to pick up the kids from school, Mr. Hayes?” Luke asked as he walked into the office
with a huge stack of documents in his arms.
“Yes p>
“Are you coming back later p>
Before the incident with Matteo, Sebastian never appeared at the preschool as four-thirty in the
afternoon was too inconvenient a time for him to leave his office. Instead, he would send his
bodyguards over to pick the kids up.
However, ever since Matteo’s incident and their reconciliation, Sebastian realized that his kids were not
invulnerable to the sketchy plots of others.
From then on, he took it upon himself to pick up the kids every day, even going as far as using
fingerprint recognition to ensure that his kids were safe.
“Yeah, I’ll be back soon,” Sebastian said, glancing at his watch again.
Pick up the kids at four-thirty, get home by five-thirty, come back here by six… that stupid woman
should be home by then!
He left the office soon after.
He was already factoring in Sasha and the kids’ presence in his life whenever he made decisions, but
his mind was too occupied to realize that.
