Chapter 1266: Chapter 1241: Sooner or Later, You Have to Pay for What You’ve Done

"When can the surgery be performed?" Ye Chen asked Zhou Tao.

"Anytime, as soon as you finish communicating with the hospital, I will prepare to bring over the surgical equipment, and then we can perform the surgery on the elderly." Zhou Tao said with a smile.

Ye Chen understood that the key here is that this hospital must agree for Zhou Tao to come and perform the surgery.

"Okay, I understand. Director Zhou, give me a day, you can start preparing the equipment tomorrow, let’s keep in touch." Ye Chen nodded and said.

Although Zhou Tao didn’t believe Ye Chen could settle this matter in one day, he still smiled and said, "Mr. Ye, I’ll wait for your notice. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now."

"Alright, take care, Director Zhou, I won’t see you out," Ye Chen said.

He knew there was a lot of preparation needed before the surgery, so he didn’t let Zhou Tao stay there.

After all, Director Liu is here to take care of the elderly, so he had no reason to stay.

After Zhou Tao left, Ye Chen returned to the ward with the middle-aged man.

Seeing her son come in, the elderly woman frowned and said, "Ah-Qiang, I’ve thought about it, I won’t go through with the surgery. I’m at this age, why spend the money, better leave it for you."

Upon hearing his mother’s words, the middle-aged man felt a lump in his throat.

He felt truly unfilial, his mother had raised him through great hardships, yet he didn’t even have the money to treat her illness.

Now he’s letting the elderly worry about the cost of surgery.

The middle-aged man knew his mother wasn’t reluctant to have the surgery; after all, everyone wants to stay alive. She’s just worried about the money.

"Mom, you don’t have to worry; the money issue has been resolved." The middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Resolved? How is that possible, it’s not a small amount," the elderly woman said, looking at her son in disbelief.

"Auntie, Uncle Qiang is correct. His performance at work has been outstanding recently and has brought great profit to the company. This 1 million is a reward from our company." Ye Chen said, pulling out a bank card from his pocket.

Upon hearing what Ye Chen said, both the elderly woman and the middle-aged man were stunned.

Ye Chen hadn’t mentioned this to him beforehand, so hearing it now was quite a surprise.

After all, it’s not a small sum; Ye Chen casually providing such a substantial reward would surely shock the man.

Seeing the middle-aged man still in shock, Ye Chen smiled and said, "Uncle Qiang, actually I meant it as a surprise, and this money is right on point; it can be used for Auntie’s treatment."

Ye Chen said while handing the bank card to the middle-aged man who was still a bit dazed.

"Ah-Qiang, thank Boss Ye quickly. You should work hard there to repay Boss Ye’s kindness." The elderly woman said with excitement.

Initially, she was worried about her son not having a job and struggling in life.

Because of this worry, she had developed some health issues.

Now seeing Ye Chen as such a supportive employer to her son, she felt relieved. Even if she had to leave his side one day, she wouldn’t be so troubled.

"Boss Ye, thank you." The middle-aged man said as he received the card.

Director Liu watched enviously from the side. This boss is far too generous, casually giving out a million as a bonus.

That’s the amount most people could only earn in their lifetime, and yet the middle-aged man received it just as a bonus.

Despite the envy, Director Liu didn’t have such a generous boss. Besides, their hospital director was stingy to the extreme, not only not giving bonuses but also deducting their money often.

Seeing that the elderly woman believed him, Ye Chen smiled and said, "Auntie, it’s getting late, you should rest early. I’ll come back to see you. Wishing you a speedy recovery."

"Boss Ye, thank you for your concern. Please take care, I can’t see you off." The elderly woman said with a smile.

She then looked at her son and said, "Ah-Qiang, help me see Boss Ye off."

The middle-aged man nodded and said with a smile, "Boss Ye, let me walk you out."

Not only did the middle-aged man walk out, but Director Liu also followed.

After all, someone who was treated so respectfully by Director Zhou was not an ordinary person; he certainly wanted to make a good impression on Ye Chen.

The three walked out of the ward. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Ye Chen looked at Director Liu and said, "Director Liu, please stay here, I have something to discuss with Uncle Qiang."

Director Liu understood Ye Chen’s meaning and smiled, saying, "Alright then, Mr. Ye, take care."

Although he didn’t escort Ye Chen out, Director Liu showed his attitude to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen and the middle-aged man walked out of the hospital one after the other. Ye Chen looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Uncle Qiang, you shouldn’t worry now. As long as Director Zhou performs the surgery on the elderly, you can rest easy."

"Yes, Mr. Ye, I really thank you. You’ve removed my worries; as long as my mother can recover, nothing else matters to me." The middle-aged man said sincerely.

He then handed the card back to Ye Chen and said, "Mr. Ye, you’ve already helped us so much, I can’t accept this card."

The middle-aged man knew the money on this card far exceeded the cost of the surgery. Having done nothing for Ye Chen, he felt uncomfortable accepting the money.

"Take the card. I don’t take back gifts once given, and you don’t need to thank me; I’m moved by your filial piety." Ye Chen said while pushing the card back toward the middle-aged man.

Actually, Ye Chen gave the middle-aged man this much money to ensure the elderly could enjoy their later years. After all, the middle-aged man couldn’t stay by the elderly’s side anymore; he had to pay for his past actions.

If the son isn’t there, and the elderly woman lacks money, how could she live?

Ye Chen might be able to help take care of the elderly, but it wasn’t possible for him to be there all the time, given his own matters to attend to.

Once the elderly has money, all these worries disappear.

Seeing Ye Chen insist on giving him the card, the middle-aged man no longer declined.

"Mr. Ye, I’ll take the card and I thank you on behalf of my mother," the middle-aged man said gratefully, looking at Ye Chen.

"Uncle Qiang, you should go back and take care of Auntie. I’ll let you know about the surgery date." Ye Chen said, waving his hand.

Ye Chen said as he walked toward his car. Before leaving, he looked at the middle-aged man and said, "I’ll likely contact you tomorrow to ask your help with a murder case."

"Alright, Mr. Ye, I’ll wait for your call." The middle-aged man said nervously.

Watching Ye Chen’s car drive out of the hospital, the middle-aged man sighed, "Ah, in the end, one must pay back for past deeds."
