Upon hearing this, Julissa buried her face in Jayson's arms, sobbing anew.

"No, I don't want to be seen like this in the corridor. I look so hideous. Please.”

Jayson's heart ached, and his eyes reddened. Pleading with the nurse, he swallowed his pride.

"Please, make an exception. I'll find a way to pay the fees. Can you give me more time? Don't force my wife into the corridor. Please."

The nurse hesitated for a moment, and despite feeling sympathetic, she still couldn't offer a solution.

"The hospital made this decision. I can't do anything about it. Unless you can settle the bill..."

“The bill is paid. This ward and the patient's treatment fees are covered."

Suddenly, a clear female voice caught everyone's attention, and they turned to look toward the door.

Ariana stood there, having used her salary and the bonus earned from reviving Sarah's career to pay off all the debt Jayson owed the hospital.

Since the nurse had never seen Ariana before, she asked, "What's your relationship with the patient?”

"I'm Jayson's friend. I'm the one who paid all the medical fees. You can check that at reception." Ariana gave the nurse a polite smile as she calmly walked into the ward.

The nurse still had doubts though. However, she chose not to ask more and left the ward.

Jayson's shoulders were slumped and he seemed to have no energy left in him.

Despite that, he picked up his wife and put her on the bed to rest.

Julissa was now too tired to struggle anymore. She remained still and just wept in a low voice.

Holding her hand, Jayson stayed beside her to comfort her.

"Jayson, I'm so sorry. You're in this situation because of me. I'm so useless. How can I get ill like this? Just forget about me and go live your own life. You should be chasing your dreams instead of taking care of me." With her eyes closed, Julissa sobbed and begged Jayson to leave her alone in a miserable voice.

However, Jayson had no intention of abandoning his wife and he comforted her gently, "It's okay. Everything will be okay. It won't hurt anymore when you wake up.

Stop saying such things okay? You are not a burden to me. My only dream now is to help you get better. Please don't give up."

Meanwhile, Ariana was standing in the corner, waiting quietly. Before she came here, Horace had told her the situation might not be good, but it turned out to be way worse than she had expected.
