Damian had always complained about being poor before Harper. But he had the money to bring his sister to such an expensive private hospital?
Harper began to suspect that the $200, 000 Damian had taken was for his sister’s treatment. If she was really his sister, it would be acceptable to spend the money on her. If she was not…
Harper glared at Damian. Damian’s heart trembled, but he didn’t show it. He took the fruit basket from Harper’s hand and explained, “My brother-in-law doesn’t lack money, but he is abroad and can’t come back to take care of his mate in time.” The woman also chimed in.
“Harper, right? I’m sorry my mate is not by my side. It just so happens that Damian has just returned, and I felt the pup’s movement. I had to trouble him to bring me to a bigger hospital in Arcadia as soon as possible…” She glared at Damian and said, “It’s all your fault.
I asked you to inform my sister-in-law in advance, but you were so nervous that you forgot about it.” The first sentence made Harper feel very uncomfortable. The second sentence, “you were so nervous that you forgot about it,” almost made Harper furious. What kind of game was she playing.
Harper said calmly, “It doesn’t matter. Whether he informs me or not, as your ‘sister-in-law,’ I will come to visit you.” She emphasized the word “sister-in-law,” and the pregnant woman’s face darkened.
Taya didn’t miss the woman’s mood change at. Seeing that the she-wolf seemed to mind Harper calling herself “sister-in-law” very much, Taya couldn’t help but interrupt. “Harper, maybe Damian didn’t want you to work too hard, so he didn’t tell you.
He didn’t want you to be coming here to take care of your ill sister-in-law on top working late hours.” of After saying that, Taya glanced at Damian. “Isn’t that right, Damian…?” Damian could only nod and smile.
“Of course, I don’t want Harper to be too tired.” Only then did Harper step forward and hold Damian’s arm.
“Hubby, you’re the best to me. I’ve been with you for so long, but you’ve never asked me to do housework…” Harper deliberately stretched out her slender fingers and waved them.
“Look, how tender my hands are… “” The woman’s face turned pale again. She wanted to say something, but she obediently s h ut her mou th when Damian shot her a look, his wolf flashing in his Although Harper was pretending to show off, she saw their expressions. Instead of letting her face know how she was feeling, she was remarkably calm.
“Hubby, are you afraid I’ll be tired from the journey and won’t let me return to your pack lands? I don’t even know your family. What’s your sister’s name? When did she get pregnant? Where did she have her mating ceremony? Why did she feel the pup’s movement as soon as you went back? Is it serious enough to be at the pack hospital?” Fac ed with Harper’s interrogation, Damian’s palms were sweaty, but he seemed to have been men tally prepared for it.
He said calmly, “My sister’s mate is repairing the road in the village this year. I plan to take you home during the Spring Festival…” Damian tried to appease Harper’s doubts about not bringing her back to his pack lands.
“As for my sister, her name is Michelle. She mated into the neighboring pack. But before the elders could finalize everything, her mate went to South Africa I was worried that something would happen between them, so I didn’t tell you. I only found out that she was pregnant when I returned to my pack lands today…” Damian glared at Michelle with resentment.
“Being pregnant is a big deal. If I hadn’t seen her on the way home, I’m afraid she would have kept it a secret from us…” He then looked at Harper and said, “After I took her home, the family was in a mess again.
They were all in debt. Before I could pay it off, my sister took the initiative to help them with the money.
Only then did I know my brother-in-law had made money in South Africa. After knowing that she was pregnant, he gave her living expenses on time every month, so I was relieved. But my parents felt she was pregnant before the mating ceremony. They scolded my sister a little.
She was unconvinced and quarreled with them. Maybe she was too emotional, so she was angry. But it’s not serious. The doctor suggested that she see someone before I helped her get to the pack hospital here.” After explaining, Damian took a bank card from his pocket and handed it to Harper.
“I wanted to transfer $200, 000 to pay off the debt first. Since my sister helped them pay it back, you’ll keep the money.” After listening to his explanation and seeing this bank card, Harper suddenly didn’t know what to do.
She was a little confused. She looked at Damian and then at Taya as if she was asking what was going on. Damian’s words were said evenly, and everything he said made sense.
If it weren’t for the fact that she had witnessed the intimacy between the two, she would have believed his words. When Taya discovered that Damian had asked Harper to pay the mortgage and daily expenses, she doubted his character. Now that Damian could still escape unscathed even though she had something on him, it made Taya think he was calculated.
However, Taya would not say these words in front of them and let them know what she was thinking. Taya pretended to be stup id and smiled at Harper. “Harper, it seems that Damian feels sorry for you. It’s difficult for you to make money, so he gave it to you for safekeeping.” Taya hinted for Harper to take the money.
Harper could tell and quickly took away Damian’s bank card. To make it easier for Damian to withdraw cash, he transferred $200, 000 to the bank card of his pack’s bank. Although this was very in line with the practice of paying off the debt, cash withdrawal could prevent people from finding the source of the money. “Hubby, you’re so nice…” Harper pretended not to know anything.
She hugged his arm and kissed him. “What’s the pa*sword?” Damian smiled and scratched Harper’s nose as if he loved her. His eyes were full of affection. “Your birthday…” Michelle’s eyes darkened. It was as if she found them an eyesore.
She clenched her teeth and said, “Harper, I don’t feel well. I want to rest for a while. Would you mind…’ Michelle only told Harper to go out, but not her brother, which made Harper’s hand holding the bank card stiffen.
Sensing the change in her mood, Damian immediately reprimanded Michelle. “Your sister-in-law came all the way here to see you. What’s wrong with your attitude?” Michelle was unconvinced.
She curled her lips. “Didn’t she just happen to be nearby, so she came to see me… “You’re still talking back!” After scolding her, Damian turned to Harper and said, “Don’t mind her. She has been spoiled by our parents since childhood and has developed an arroga nt and willful character.”
Harper just smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter. When I was her age, I was much more spoiled than her. The only thing that helped get me in line was a good slap across the face.”
