Chapter 4: Pay for My Youth
1223 Words
Hospital.
Liam's father was pushed out of the operating room and transferred to the intensive care unit.
Seeing this scene, tears flowed again from Liam's mother's eyes, unable to stop.
Liam Bernthal and Nina Bernthal comforted each other, and Liam's mother felt better.
A successful surgery is a good start.
They were not allowed to enter the intensive care unit, so the three of them could only wait quietly at the door, waiting for their father to wake up.
But at this moment!
"Liam Bernthal, you bastard!"
A voice came through a loudspeaker: "You ruined my youth, compensate me for my loss of youth!"
Liam Bernthal sitting in a chair was suddenly startled!
Laurie Holden!
He hurried to the window and looked down, only to see Laurie Holden holding a loudspeaker, standing under a red banner and shouting.
The banner read: Liam Bernthal, you scumbag, compensate me for my loss of youth!
"I accompanied you, slept with you, did your laundry! As soon as you turned around, you dumped me! Scumbag! Bastard, get down here!"
Laurie Holden continued shouting with the loudspeaker.
It shook the entire hospital!
Countless people were curious about who Liam Bernthal was and how he had offended a woman to such an extent?
If it weren't for a last resort, why would a woman take this path?
More and more people gathered behind her, even the hospital security guards couldn't stop them.
Several security guards even joined the fun.
They wanted to see who Liam Bernthal really was!
Upstairs.
Nina frowned.
As a woman, she understood women's thoughts better.
If Liam Bernthal hadn't done something to offend Laurie Holden, would Laurie Holden embarrass herself like this in public?
Moreover, this was still a hospital, if a commotion occurred, the hospital might also give Liam Bernthal trouble.
Nina looked at Liam Bernthal with a questioning expression.
"Nina."
Liam Bernthal no longer hid it and revealed the affair between Laurie Holden and boss Andrew Siega.
Nina was stunned!
No wonder Liam Bernthal was so angry at Laurie Holden earlier!
Which man wouldn't be angry when faced with such a situation?
Sighing,Nina Bernthal said, "Regardless, we need to resolve this first, causing a scene in the hospital is not appropriate."
Liam Bernthal nodded. If something happened, it had to be dealt with.
He couldn't let Laurie Holden continue causing a scene downstairs, if he didn't appear, Laurie Holden would definitely come upstairs to create havoc.
That would have an even worse impact.
Seeing Liam Bernthal coming out, Laurie Holden's voice grew louder.
She rushed towards Liam Bernthal and shouted with the loudspeaker, "Liam Bernthal! I thought you were a coward! You're nothing but a spineless man!"
"I followed you for nearly ten years! I'm almost thirty and you still won't give me a home! Wasn't it just a dress I bought? You actually told me to leave! And you're going to marry another woman!"
"What have I done wrong, Liam Bernthal? What have you taken me for? Just a tool to satisfy your desires for ten years?!"
"Liam Bernthal, you must give me an explanation today! Otherwise, it's not over between us!"
Laurie Holden cried and shouted.
The onlookers pointed and whispered at Liam Bernthal.
"This society has all kinds of people. This young man looks decent, but who would have thought he would dump his girlfriend of ten years and marry another woman? What kind of animal can do such a thing?"
"A man should be afraid of entering the wrong profession, and a woman should be afraid of marrying the wrong man. You have to be careful when choosing a son-in-law! If you find such a son-in-law, you'll be cursed for eight generations!"
"Young man, you should be a decent person! Otherwise, you're just an animal! Worse than pigs and dogs!" A middle-aged woman pointed at Liam Bernthal and cursed.
In just a few words, Liam Bernthal was labeled as an animal and a scumbag.
Liam Bernthal was speechless.
Clearly, it was Laurie Holden who cheated, but when she put it like this, she became the innocent one? The victim?
The one who cheated was so bold?
He was the victim!
Liam Bernthal looked at Laurie Holden with a serious expression, "What do you want?!"
He clenched his teeth, clearly infuriated.
Laurie Holden's move had caught him off guard. Packaging herself as a victim, a vulnerable woman, she instantly won all the sympathy.
Everyone blamed Liam Bernthal.
Even if Liam Bernthal explained now, who would believe him?
Laurie Holden crossed her arms and looked indifferent. "Simple! Didn't I tell you this morning! Ninety thousand dollars! Not a penny less! Otherwise, I'll ruin your reputation, let everyone see who you really are!"
Upon hearing this, Liam Bernthal's forehead broke out in cold sweat.
He couldn't withstand the group attack!
Laurie Holden was extremely proud, she achieved her goal.
She wanted to make Liam Bernthal submit to her using the power of the public.
Money? She must get it.
Even if Liam Bernthal didn't have that much money, as long as she got the IOU, she could hold him accountable anytime.
With a ninety thousand dollars IOU, Liam Bernthal would be indebted to her for the rest of his life.
And her? She could spend Liam Bernthal's money and live carefree with Andrew Siega!Liam Bernthal is in a difficult situation.
Laurie Holden's move made him disgusted, leaving him at a loss.
If he were to shout at Laurie Holden now, he would undoubtedly face criticism from the surrounding crowd.
Just as Liam Bernthal was at a loss, an Alphard business car parked nearby.
"Miss Gosling, we've arrived," the driver said respectfully, opening the car door.
Liam Bernthal occasionally glanced at the crowd.
Ana Gosling got out of the car and, hearing the commotion in the distance, furrowed her brows.
When she saw Liam Bernthal's name on the banner, her smooth forehead formed a deep frown.
"Why is he here?" Ana Gosling looked puzzled.
Liam Bernthal hadn't told her about his father being hospitalized, but thinking about how desperate he was for 80,000 dollars, Ana Gosling understood.
Moreover, it was highly unlikely for there to be two people with the same name in the hospital, so it must be her husband whom she had married hastily in the morning.
Thinking that Liam Bernthal was the protagonist of the incident, Ana Gosling walked quickly.
"Miss Gosling, Mr.Reedus isn't over there..." the driver quickly called out.
Ana Gosling had come to the hospital to visit a patient, and the driver knew that the patient wasn't over there.
"We'll talk about Mr.Reedus in a moment!" Ana Gosling walked faster and faster.
Finally, through the crowd, she saw Liam Bernthal being pulled by Laurie Holden!
Liam Bernthal was being pulled by Laurie Holden, who said, "Liam surname! Today, are you going to give me the money or let me continue making a scene? You can even write an IOU if you have no money!"
"And, immediately transfer all the wages you received today to me, otherwise I will make your life miserable!"
Laurie Holden had a determined look on her face.
Just as Liam Bernthal was about to speak, a fragrant breeze wafted in.
Smack!
A loud slap left everyone stunned!
"Just because of someone like you, you think you deserve to ask Liam Bernthal for money?!"
