Husband's Obsession with Money
Chapter 6
I predicted what would happen.
Not long after I quarreled with Kyler, something came up!
A few days ago, his mother Dora called me.
She said she felt tightness in her chest and wanted to come to the city for a check-up.
Kyler was famous for being filial in the village, so he would spare no effort to look out for his mother.
He went to the train station to pick her up and even hailed a taxi for his mother. He did a very good job.
Unfortunately, his filial piety didn't last for three seconds before it was shattered by the medical bill handed over by the nurse.
He only glanced at the amount on it and widened his eyes.
"What? 160 dollars? Seriously?"
"Can't it be cheaper?"
The nurse became a little impatient.
"Do you think this is a grocery market? Are you bargaining here?"
"All these examinations and instruments are not free of charge."
...
Kyler continued, "Is it reasonable to charge so much for that?"
"Who knows if you take kickbacks or not?"
The nurse was not someone to be trifled with.
She made a move to snatch the bill away.
If you don't want to get checked, no one is forcing you!
Kyler's face turned red from being mocked.
He sheepishly took back the bill.
He glanced at me, sitting on the stool playing with my phone, and shamelessly approached me.
He gave me an order. "Bella, go and pay Mom's bill."
I looked up innocently.
"I don't have any money.
He smiled apologetically.
"Oh, I was in such a hurry that I forgot to bring my card."
"I know you have money, so pay it and I'll pay you back later."
My mouth twitched.
He lied so blatantly, and I didn't believe it.
I sighed and looked sincerely at him.
"I really don't have any money. I've spent it all on our daily life."
"A few days ago, I just bought some clothes and I have no money left. I'm still waiting for my salary."
"Why don't you go home and get some? Dora's illness is a big deal and she needs immediate treatment."
Kyler stared at my face angrily, trying to see if I was lying.
...
But my face told him that I was really broke.
He hesitated for a while.
Then, he angrily took out his card from his bag.
Before leaving, he shot me a glare.
"Spendthrift!"
