"This card is too valuable. I'm afraid if I lose it, someone else will pick it up," Avery stood up and handed the black card back to Ethan . "I live and eat at home, and I rarely go shopping except for classes. I don't have any other expenses. Really, I don't need so much money."
So, take it back. She couldn't accept it.
She couldn't become complacent just because she had this invincible black card, and she couldn't forget that she also needed to work hard just because she had a man like Ethan by her side.
She wanted to work hard to become an outstanding person, to be able to compete with him on equal terms,rather than relying on him and spending his money.
Her sister was right. As a member of the Wells family, she had to be ambitious and not reach out for his money.
"Oh, your grandmother is sick and hospitalized. Don't you need money?" Ethan wanted to laugh when he heard Lu Shiqian say this.
He didn't wait for her to ask him for the 500,000 dollars, but now he was offering her the card to use as she pleased, which would directly solve her problem of not having money. In the future, she wouldn't have to worry about money when her grandmother was sick.
But now she was saying she didn't want it?
Thinking of this, Ethan's tone became cold.
"Avery, I am your husband. Your husband has money. He's not dead yet, and you're already thinking about asking someone else?"
"No, no, you mustn't think like that," Avery became anxious and easily blushed. She didn't want him to misunderstand, so she quickly explained, "I do need money, but I promised my aunt. I don't want her to think I'm someone who doesn't keep their word."
"You don't misunderstand me. I just want my aunt to approve of me. I don't want to give up my efforts just because you have money," explained Avery , but Ethan's face remained dark.
"Suit yourself," he said, finishing his words and leaving.
Avery breathed a sigh of relief.
She certainly wanted that black card, but she was afraid that if she had it, she would become complacent and lazy. That wouldn't be a good thing.
She promised her aunt that she would strive to become an outstanding person, and since she had made an agreement with her aunt yesterday, she couldn't go back on her word.
After breakfast, although she was still very sleepy and her eyelids were constantly fighting, she still insisted on going to school.
Before going to school, she contacted
Ethan's aunt again about the five hundred thousand she had asked to borrow yesterday. She still wanted it. Although Ethan had refused the money on her behalf yesterday, Lena didn't ask too many questions and just gave it to her if she wanted it.
"You go to school first, and I'll have someone send it over to you in the morning. Remember, this money is not borrowed for free. There are conditions attached," her aunt warned.
"I know, Auntie. I won't forget. Thank you, Auntie,"Avery felt a sense of guilt. Her aunt's words were sharp and strict, but she couldn't dislike her at all.
When she arrived at school, classes were still in session, but Lena's assistant had already arrived to deliver the bank card.
Perhaps Lena had instructed her, the woman in the suit waited outside until the end of class before handing the card to Avery.
Upon receiving the bank card, Lu Shiqian rushed to the restroom and called her sister.
She told her sister that she had borrowed 500,000 dollars and that their grandmother could now be saved. She also planned to take their grandmother to a bigger hospital for treatment after school, but her sister interrupted her before she could finish.
"I sent Grandma to the hospital yesterday afternoon, and the surgery is scheduled for a week later," her sister said.
Avery was relieved to hear this news, but also puzzled. "Sis, didn't you say we had no money left? Where did you get the money to send Grandma to the hospital?"
In the absence of anyone else to turn to for help, how did her sister manage to raise the 500,000 dollars so quickly?
"I was worried about Grandma's health, and since you hadn't been able to borrow the money, I went to see Mr. Blackwood myself. He gave me the money. You can't blame me sister for going to Mr. Blackwood. He's your husband now," her sister explained.
So that was it.
Her sister had actually approached that icy-faced man. Wasn't it just two days ago that someone said the Wells family had to be self-reliant and couldn't ask Ethan for money?
Avery felt a little strange, but she also understood her sister's actions. If it weren't for the dire situation they were in, her proud sister would never have done something that went against her own will.
"Sis, how could I blame you?" Avery shook her head. "As long as Grandma is okay, that's all that matters. By the way, which hospital is Grandma in now? I'll go see her after school."
"At the Golden Lake Hospital, in the same hospital as Julian." Alexis stood outside the ward , looking at the luxurious decoration inside, a hint of darkness flashing in her eyes.
Looking at the man inside who was discussing with his grandmother's attending physician, his masked face was so charming. The half of his face that was revealed was so delicate, she had never seen a man more handsome than Ethan with a better figure and appearance.
Unfortunately, this man is now her brother-in-law.
Yesterday, Alexis took the fifty thousand dollar cheque, withdrew the cash, and sent her grandmother to this hospital, originally living in a regular ward downstairs.
Unexpectedly, Ethan came to the hospital this morning and directly transferred her grandmother to the VIP floor through his connections, and personally paid for her grandmother's three months of hospitalization fees.
It turns out that the rumored old and ugly Ethan Blackwood is not only not old and ugly, but also young and handsome.
What's even more suspicious is that this man can do so much for Avery.
"Don't worry about your grandmother here, come and see her at noon. She hasn't seen you for a long time and misses you." Alexis withdrew her gaze as she put a call across to Avery and walked to the end of the corridor, looking down from above.
"By the way, Avery, the five hundred thousand dollars in your hand is borrowed from Parker, right? He likes you and treats you so well. When you need help in the future, he will not help if you don't spend more time with him, go out for a walk, eat and go shopping or something."
Avery didn't directly say it, Avery understood what she meant.
Her sister was telling her not to reject people too harshly, and in her sister's eyes, maybe Parker was more suitable for her.
But if she didn't have feelings, she just didn't have feelings. Even if her sister said that, there were no waves in her heart.
"No, the money wasn't borrowed from him."
"What? Parker didn't lend you the money?" Alexis' face changed instantly, and she clenched her fists. Why wasn't it borrowed from him? Didn't she make it clear to him yesterday and ask him to secretly give the cheque to Lushiqian?
Luyanxi thought that the 500,000 dollars in her sister's hand must have come from Parker.
But when she found out that the money wasn't from him, she felt that her sister was lying to her.
"Avery, don't lie to me . If the money wasn't borrowed from Parker, where did you get it? Saving grandma is important, but we can't sell ourselves for money."
Was it given by Mr. Blackwood this morning?
No, it's impossible.
Alexis turned her head and looked at the door of the ward where her grandmother was staying. Ethan , who had already walked out with the doctor, had a tall and straight back.
His gaze was so powerful, and every step he took was like an emperor with an extraordinary temperament.
Such an excellent man...
The softness on Alexis' face disappeared instantly.
How could her sister be worthy of such a perfect man?
