The reality hit hard when Aiden went to pay for the emergency treatment and hospitalization fee for the first time the next morning.
He had the money, of course, but the single payment was enough to cause a dent in his pocket.
Aiden was so preoccupied with the sum of money that he just paid that he almost didn't hear what the nurse asked him.
"Mr. Thompson, have you decided to go through with the biopsy?"
"Hm? Yes." Aiden answered absent-mindedly. His eyes were still glued to the string of numbers on the receipt.
The receptionist pushed another sheet of paper toward Aiden. It contained details of payment for the biopsy.
When Aiden saw the amount of money he had to pay, the young man started to get dizzy.
"Um, must I pay for it now?"
The nurse nodded.
"I... I don't have enough money with me."
The young man lowered his head in shame.
The nurse's heart softened when she saw the young man in front of her.
