The world begins with shameless people

Chapter 18 Fiona seems to be even worse [please vote for me~~]

Hospital, public ward.

Faced with this question, which is extremely common for normal people, Fiona was silent for two seconds...
Don't admit it?

It doesn't make sense.

Fiona had no choice but to bite the bullet and nodded, "I am his daughter."

"Okay, I need to talk to you about Mr. Frank Gallagher's current medical expenses and the medical expenses he has owed for the past nearly 13 years."

The people in the finance department said so, although they didn't really have much hope in their hearts.

"In addition, not too long ago, a doctor reported that Philip Gallagher and Ian Gallagher escaped without paying any fees after receiving treatment from this hospital."

"I understand that Philip Gallagher and Ian Gallagher are also family members of yours."

"Excuse me, how do you plan to pay for these expenses?"

Fiona was speechless: "..."

How to pay?

There is no way to pay!
"I came out in a hurry and didn't bring my wallet. I will definitely pay after dawn..." Fiona could only lie.

The people in the Finance Department were not stupid, so they certainly didn't believe it, so they said directly, "This hospital is not a charity. According to the law, this hospital is not allowed to refuse to treat urgent or life-threatening patients because of cost issues."

"Today, Mr. Frank Gallagher is out of danger, and from a legal perspective, we have fulfilled our obligations."

"Please settle the relevant medical expenses before [-] noon today, or go to the hospital's finance department to discuss a payment plan."

"Otherwise, this hospital will kick Mr. Frank Gallagher out."

"have you understood?"

Fiona was really about to fall apart.

No hope, no dignity, life is so difficult...
Fiona held back tears, nodded, gritted her teeth and said, "I understand."

The people in the finance department said nothing, turned around and left.

The first class walked away a little.

Fiona still couldn't hold on, tears welled up in her eyes...

Debbie, Carl and Kevin all saw it.

Debbie reached out and pulled Fiona's arm, not knowing what to say.

The same is true for Karl, I don’t know what to say.

Kevin glanced at the hospital bed. Although he was sleeping soundly, Frank looked happy because of the coffee. He felt very helpless. He raised his hand and patted Fiona's shoulder gently, "I'll take you back. This is It’s already midnight, Frank is asleep, it’s useless for you to stay here, what happens after dawn…sleep, we’ll talk about it when you wake up.”

Fiona heard this, raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, "Okay."

The four people left the hospital and got into the car.

Back to the Gallagher house.

After using up all the remaining strength, she settled Debbie, Carl, Lip, Ian and Liam into bed. Fiona collapsed on the bed. She felt that she really had no strength at all. She didn't want to move even a little bit anymore. She just let it go. Tears kept flowing, and before I knew it, I fell asleep.

********************
Its daybreak.

The alarm clock keeps ringing.

Fiona, who had only slept for about three hours, was woken up and opened her eyes. Then, as soon as her eyes were closed, she instinctively wanted to fall asleep like this, without caring about anything, and just sleep in the dark.

pity.

No choice.

Must get up.

Five younger siblings want breakfast.

You still have to go to work and make money, otherwise you won’t be able to survive at all.

Really, as soon as I opened my eyes, overwhelming pressure came rushing over me.

Fiona opened her eyes again, feeling almost suffocated.

However, even so, Fiona still carried this feeling of suffocation, gritted her teeth, got out of bed, and started working day after day, calling Debbie, Carl and others to get up one by one.

restaurant.

Debbie blinked and looked at Fiona who was busy making breakfast in the kitchen. After hesitating for a while, she finally spoke and asked, "Fiona, what should Frank do?"

As soon as she heard the three words Frank, Fiona immediately shuddered, and she couldn't help feeling even more suffocated, so she had to take a deep breath silently.

"Let him be kicked out of the hospital, we don't have money to pay the medical bills."

Debbie had known this result for a long time and was not too surprised, "What happens after that? We have to take him back."

Fiona really doesn't want to talk about this... What should I do if I take her back?
Lip and Ian will have to stay at home for the short term, unable to move much.

One more Frank, whose legs are useless, will be paralyzed for a period of time in the future.

How are your days?
But, if I don’t take it back…..
In this winter, are you going to let Frank freeze to death outside?
Fiona wanted to cry again, but then she held it back and said, "Yeah."

"Then I'll go with you," Debbie couldn't help but said with joy when Fiona agreed.

Karl, who had been silent next to him, then said, "I'll go too."

"You don't have to go, just go to school," Fiona said firmly without looking back.

"But..." Debbie really wanted to go.

"No buts!" Fiona couldn't bear it anymore and shouted suddenly, interrupting Debbie's words.

Debbie was stunned by the yelling and rushed into the living room angrily.

When Fiona saw it, she really didn't have the strength to persuade her, so she didn't care.

At this moment, Veronica opened the back door and walked in.

Fiona's roar just now was quite loud. Veronica heard it, but she didn't say anything. She just said to Fiona, "I guess you will be busy this morning, so I'm here to help you."

Hear this.

Fiona was truly moved and did not refuse, "Thank you."

Finished breakfast.

Fiona told Veronica about picking up Frank back at noon, "I still have to ask Kevin to help me talk to him, okay?"

Veronica actually knew that Kevin was not happy, but she still nodded, "Okay, it's okay. Kevin is like that, very easy to talk to."

"Thank you so much," Fiona thanked her again.

"Thank you... By the way, you can keep those two wheelchairs for now. You don't need to return them for now. Your family will really need them in the future."

"Then your job...will there be any trouble?"

There is trouble, indeed.

But, not too big.

Veronica shook her head indifferently, "It's okay, I can handle it."
-
noon.

Frank was sitting in a wheelchair, cursing crazily as Kevin pushed him outside the hospital.

"You black-minded doctors are actually driving patients away, just because I have no money, and you are watching me die..."

“Don’t poor people deserve to live?”

"You doctors and nurses will not die well..."

Frank continued to curse until he got into the car.

Kevin said nothing, didn't pay attention, and didn't want to pay attention.

After struggling for a whole afternoon, Frank was sent to the Gallagher house. After a few words with Lip, Kevin fled from the black hole-like place of the Gallagher house, yawning endlessly. Went to Ellabar Bar.

More than two o'clock in the afternoon.

Ding Xiu walked into Aleb Bar, saw Kevin's sleepy look, and asked, "What's wrong with you? Didn't you sleep last night?"

Kevin yawned deeply, "Forget it, a lot of bad things happened."

"Oh? What's the matter? Let's talk about it," Ding Xiu suggested.

The bar is quite deserted.

Kevin really needed to vent, so he started talking.

After listening.

Ding Xiu couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

'Fiona seems to be even worse...'

Ding Xiu took a sip of beer and thought.

However, it’s just a little bit of guilt.

'That's it, bitter first and then sweet. '

'Nothing wrong. '

'Besides, it's not a good thing to continue to have illusions about the Gallaghers and Frank without taking some pains. '
