Bound by Magic, Married by Fate novel Chapter 125

Skyler slapped down a check filled out with a large sum before the hospital director. "Handle the aftermath however you see fit."

Seeing the long string of zeros on the check, the director's smile almost split his face. "Don't worry, Mr. Woodward. I guarantee that this will be settled within a week."

He had already sent someone to look into the young nurse's family background. Her parents were uneducated farmers who had struggled to put their daughter through college, borrowing tuition and living expenses from relatives.

A family like that could easily be silenced with a few hundred thousand.

As for the beaten nurse, the director thought she had only herself to blame. What kind of fool dared to offend Jay Woodward? Getting beaten up was practically what she deserved.

Inside the ward, Skyler scowled at his son. "Can't you stay out of trouble for just a few days? Count for yourself. How many times have I had to clean up your messes?"

Jay looked utterly unconcerned. "I was just teaching that mouthy wretch a lesson. Is that really worth you yelling at me like this? Dad, don't forget that I'm still a patient."

Skyler clenched his teeth in frustration. "Would things like this keep happening if you even acted like a patient?"

Jay scoffed. "I'm going insane from being locked up in this dump all day."

Looking at Jay's slightly thinner face, Skyler felt a pang in his chest. "Just hold on a little longer. Once I find a suitable kidney donor, you'll get to leave this place soon."

Jay asked coldly, "What about that bastard of yours? Why not use her kidney?"

Ever since his diagnosis, Jay had often heard the name Valerie.

In his mind, the woman he had never met existed solely as a vessel meant to provide him with a kidney when his life was in danger.

Skyler showed no displeasure at his son calling Valerie a bastard. After a few unpleasant encounters with her, it was hard for him not to feel a deep resentment toward his daughter.

Just then, the ward door burst open, and Sonia stormed in. "Dad, I finally found you!"
