"Nurse, did you mix something up?" Isla Astir darted over to the nurse and asked.
The nurse flipped through the documents, "Is your father's name William Astir?"
"Yes." Isla Astir nodded.
"Then there's no mistake," the nurse continued, "A Mr. Thompson prepaid a month's hospital bill for your father. Moreover, he arranged for the surgery as well, with a professor who recently returned from Cigacan as the chief surgeon."
Mr. Thompson?
Isla Astir immediately thought of Brandon Thompson.
Isla Astir, who hated owing others anything, instantly phoned Brandon Thompson.
Brandon Thompson laughed, "Miss Astir, there's no need for you to feel pressured. You saved my grandmother. Had it not been for you, our family wouldn't be able to celebrate this New Year. Consider this my repaying your favor. Like you, I detest owing others anything. After today, we will be even."
With that, Brandon Thompson hung up.
