The sycophantic expressions on their faces before were now replaced by arrogance and disdain. Their attitude had completely changed.

Nicole saw her father lying in bed with his mouth wide open. However, he couldn't speak. He only gasped for breath.

Nicole's mother suddenly knelt on the floor and begged, “Please, stop harassing my husband. He's still in bad condition. Let's stop arguing here. Can we talk outside?"

Instantly, the ward was in an uproar.

"Your family is already like this, but he still dares to stay in the hospital. Do you have money for medical treatment?"

"That's right! He doesn't deserve to spend money on hospital bills.

If he doesn't pay us back soon, we'll throw him out."

A fat woman was even more enraged. She stepped forward and grabbed Nicole's mother's hair directly, attempting to pull off her earrings.

When Nicole saw this, she rushed forward, pushed the fat woman away and shouted, “Stay away from my mother. Don't you dare touch her!"

But she was too late. The fat woman had successfully pulled off the earrings, making her mother's ears bleed. It looked horrifying.

Nicole couldn't bear it. She wished she could take her mother's pain.

If she was the one who was hurt like this, she could manage. But seeing the blood in her mother's ears, she felt like her own flesh was being torn apart.

The pain in her heart was unbearable. It was so painful that she could hardly breathe. She felt like she was about to die at any moment.

"Ahhh!" Nicole screamed desperately. She was so consumed by agony.

But this scene did not arouse pity or sympathy from the crowd.

Their only concern now was their money. Since the Lawrence Group had gone bankrupt, they thought their money had been wasted.

They had totally forgotten how they had morally coerced Nicole's father into selling the shares of the Lawrence Group at a low price.

Then, someone spoke up from the crowd.

"Stop pretending to be pitiful.

Do you think it can help you escape from your debts?"
