“Are you suggesting I added laxatives to your medicine? For heaven’s sake! We don’t have cameras here, and now you’ve learned to frame me, haven’t you?”
“Leamed“” lebecca nanowed her eyes slightly and exposed the nurse’s slip. “So you do know that I was framed, huh?”
The nurse froze and clamped her mouth shut. “I don’t know and don’t ask me anything. When I saw you, you two were fighting. But don’t you think you should’ve thought twice before fighting someone of Lydia’s status?
Rebecca smirked. “What status? Does being Commander Paine’s daughter give her the right to bully others?”
The muse turned pale with tight, “Watch what you’re saying! Commander Faine has accumulated a lifetime of distinguished service and has made countless contnbutions to the country. Are you questioning his character
“I’m not questioning Commander Paine, and he shouldn’t be associated with Lydia’s actions either. Since there’s no point in trickering, I request a blood test.” Rebecca had taken the medicine less than an hour ago, so a blond test could reveal it it contained laxatives.

The doctor stated at Rebecca and couldn’t quite figure her out. “What have you got to do with them? Why would you cover their expenses?
“Is there a problem with me paying for their bills?” Rebecca retorted.
“Of course not. Go abred and settle two days of the overdue fees, and we’ll continue treatment. That’ll be 100 dollars for the IVs, injections, and hospital stay.” joodullats. Rebecca mentally calculated and figured she just had over 200 dollars lett.
