Chapter 1402 Settle Everything Separately
Her father was still in the hospital, and time was so tight that Marcellus couldn't really do anything. Although
Marcellus knew it, it was still a bit difficult when it came to himself.
He needed to control himself.
He slightly pushed himself back, pulling his hand from her shoulder and putting it in his pocket, adjusting his posture
slightly to cover up the uncomfortable situation.
"Let's eat, and after that, I'll drive you there." He spoke with a hoarse voice.
Beryl nodded and didn't dare to look at him. She focused intently on eating the sandwich in front of her.
Half an hour later, they both got ready to leave. The driver had already parked the car in the courtyard. Marcellus
walked ahead with his head held high, not sitting in the car first as usual. Instead, he stood on her side, opened the
car door, and slightly bowed, "Please get in."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBeryl saw him personally open the car door for her. Although it wasn't the first time, it was rare. Their current
relationship made her feel embarrassed, so she quickened her pace and stepped in. She wanted to say thank you
but suddenly remembered his previous words, so she hesitated.
He didn't seem to like her thanking him very much.
Then... she wouldn't say it.
Seeing her getting in, Marcellus followed suit and got in the car. The driver protected his head very respectfully and
sat back in the driver's seat after seeing him seated comfortably.
"Shall we go to the company, Mr. Perkins?"
"No, let's go to the hospital first."
"Got it."
Not long after, the car started, and Beryl looked at the villa left behind. Having outsiders around always made her
feel a bit restrained.
"How's your father?" Marcellus asked as he looked down at the document.
Beryl settled in and said, "His condition is not bad. The surgery went well, and if there are no other complications
later, he will recover well."
Marcellus nodded lightly, "If there are any other situations, feel free to let me know. I can arrange things
conveniently at the hospital."
Speaking of the hospital, Beryl thought of the surgery fee.
Beryl was a bit unsure if she should bring it up, feeling that if she did, Marcellus would probably be unhappy.
However, if she didn't mention it, she would have to silently accept such a huge sum of money, and she couldn't get
over this hurdle in her heart.
After hesitating for a moment, Beryl decided to follow her heart and brought it up, "About the surgery and hospital
expenses, I..."
She had just started when he interrupted, "I told you not to worry about this matter."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I know," Beryl hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean anything else. I just feel that the amount of money is too much,
and I definitely can't explain it to my family. It's better to settle it clearly."
But Marcellus pretended not to understand her meaning, "The hospital will settle it with me."
"You know that's not what I meant."
"What do you mean?" It seemed like her words had unsettled him a bit. Marcellus closed the file in his hand and
looked at her, "Are you saying we should settle everything separately?"
Beryl opened her mouth, seeming to admit that was what she meant.
"How do you want to separate things?" Seeing that she insisted on being clear, he decided to explain everything,
"Beryl, you are my girlfriend. If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, I wouldn't do this. I don't know what you
think, but for me, doing all this is not because I have nothing else to do with my money. I just don't want you to
suffer more because of this accident, do you understand?"
The disparity between them was not only about identity but also financial background. Marcellus had deliberately
blurred this point all along, not wanting to let her feel any pressure in material aspects. However, she was more
perceptive than he thought.
