"Sister Yu, my leg is injured. Please take me to the ambulance first." Lina said anxiously.

"No, the hospital has regulations that critically ill patients must be given priority!" The round-faced nurse flatly rejected her.

I breathed a sigh of relief and carried my father into the car with the stretcher bearer. Before the car door was closed, I saw Eric talking to the round-faced nurse and trying to take off his watch, but the round-faced nurse pushed him away.

Looking at my unconscious father, I didn't think much and anxiously urged the driver to start the car. However, the next second, the car door was suddenly opened.

In the blinding sunlight, I clearly heard the round-faced nurse's contemptuous voice: "Why call an ambulance if you have no money! Long-distance visits to mountainous areas are very expensive! Hurry up and get the person off!" Dad 's stretcher was quickly moved under the car, and I shouted at the top of my lungs: "I have money, let my dad get on the car, I can pay for it!"

"Then please prove that you have the ability to pay." The round-faced nurse frowned and spoke in a cold tone.

My cell phone was left in the lazy river. I searched my body and found no cash. Without thinking, I handed the Patek Philippe on my wrist to the nurse and said, "You can use this watch as collateral. It will definitely be enough to pay for the consultation. Let my dad get in the car!"

As soon as I finished speaking, the round-faced nurse sneered, "Patek Philippe? Your husband just used a fake watch to deceive people, and now you are trying the same thing?"

I felt a chill in my heart, and finally understood why my husband had just acted. Lina deliberately mocked, "You have no money but you still like to pretend!"

Eric grabbed my hand and acted with Lina , "We don't want to lie to anyone either, please be kind and do charity and send my dad to the car."

I broke free from Eric's hand and explained anxiously, "He's lying. My watch is real. Give me your phone and I'll log into your bank account and show you!"

The round-faced nurse's face turned cold, "You have money to send her to the hospital but you don't have money to show your filial piety! Go home and take good care of her, and don't take up our working time!" The stretcher-bearers kept moving the patient down, and eventually I was left there, watching the ambulance carrying Lina away.

I grabbed Eric 's sleeve tightly and asked, "Why did you lie! I don't care if you cheated on Lina ! But my dad needs emergency treatment! If anything happens to my dad, I will never let you go!"

The rafting rescue team on the side had not left yet, squatting on the side of the road to watch the show. Seeing this, Eric's face was filled with anger, "Don't be unreasonable! There is nothing between Lina and me, stop talking nonsense here!"

"Lina's leg injury cannot be delayed! There is an ambulance here. What's wrong with asking your father to wait for a while?" His words were full of impatience and indifference.

The disappointment in my heart accumulated into mud, which made me breathless. "After seven years of marriage, have you ever treated my father as a relative?" I asked the question that has been bothering me for so many years.

Eric pursed his lips, looking embarrassed. Eric and I are each other's first love. In order to marry him, I gave up everything at home. In the poorest years, I accompanied him to eat expired food, sleep in the warehouse, and was bitten by ants all over my body. He walked for four hours in the heavy rain to rush to the pharmacy. When applying medicine to me, he swore with red eyes: "Gods and Buddhas in heaven, I, Eric, will make Anna happy. If I break this oath, I will not die well!"

Later, his business started to show success, and his family was relieved. He and I held hands in the snow and walked together until we were old. First love is sweet, so sweet that I thought it would last a lifetime. However, this fantasy lasted until after we got married, and one day the media dug up that my father was actually an investor in his original shares!

In an instant, media reports were everywhere. The young and proud president was labeled as a son-in-law and a gigolo. He said nothing and was as considerate as usual, but there was something different between us. He smoked more and more, was full of anger, silent and irritable. After getting drunk once, he confided in his heart: "You know what? I hate charity from others the most in my life!" "Anna, I wish I had never met you."
