Becoming the Richest by Farming-Chapter 314 - 0 Inspection Fee_1

Her words subtly made Daniel Wood feel that something was amiss.

"Yes, what about it? Of course, we will have someone take care of Grandpa all the time." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Lucy Wood’s mouth curved into a smirk, her voice still low, "But I don’t have enough money. I’ve already advanced 10 million Sina dollars as my duty as a granddaughter. There’s a bill of several tens of millions in US dollars that has to be covered by you, Dad, since the contract is signed. We need to pay by next month at the latest."

Daniel Wood suddenly felt like spitting blood, "Several tens of millions of US dollars? What nonsense are you talking about? Grandpa just had a brain hemorrhage! Which hospital charges such an exorbitant fee?!"

"Just a brain hemorrhage? How can you say such a thing? Our family isn’t lacking that bit of money!" Lucy’s expression grew colder the more she spoke, "The contract was signed personally by Mom. I wasn’t confident, so I hired the best medical team. Just one specialist’s appearance fee is several million US dollars, not to mention there are several of them. Plus the hospital’s treatment costs, daily nursing expenses—I arranged for the best for Grandpa. That American team is expert in this field. You can rest assured, ordinary people without money and power can’t even hire them. Thank goodness Ellen helped me."

Ellen merely used her connections and not her status, which is why the chief specialist made a visit and, of course, was paid handsomely. So, who paid for it?

Daniel Wood: "..."

He suddenly had an ominous premonition.

He denied flatly, "Impossible, how could your mother sign such a document?"

"The hospital said we needed to transfer him. She signed it herself when they informed her at that time. It’s all for Grandpa’s sake, Dad. Surely you’re not going to say you’re unwilling, right? That’s your own father. What’s wrong with hiring the best to save Grandpa?"

Daniel Wood: "..."

Lucy had recorded the entire conversation. If Daniel dared to say no, playing the recording later could ruin him.

Being so wealthy, the Wood Family could casually spend several million US dollars on a child’s crimes, so what’s wrong with spending several tens of millions on the father’s medical treatment?

Eventually, Daniel Wood stayed silent because he knew something was not right about the situation.

Lucy did it on purpose!

Sure, the Wood Family was rich, but we’re talking about US dollars here, US dollars!

When they bailed out Edward Wood, it was like they already drew several tens of millions, which was the usual daily expenditure of the Wood Family.

The rest was there, but most had been converted into investments and real estate, and the vast Wood Group needed funds to maintain operations. Any gap in this huge capital flow would lead to certain problems.

After all, the Wood Family wasn’t the legendary rich family with tens of billions.

Several tens of millions of US dollars equate to several billion Sina dollars. Shifting a few billion from the Wood Family’s capital was necessary, and clearly, that was just the initial payment according to Lucy’s words.

Then what about the subsequent medical examination fees for the old gentleman?

If he refused to pay, he’d be facing double compensation.

But if he paid, while the Wood Group could manage after some time, it meant that the company couldn’t undertake any significant operations for a while, though daily operations wouldn’t be affected.

However, Daniel Wood asked himself, for a father who was already advanced in age, was it worth it?

Daniel Wood felt like vomiting blood internally and hurriedly called Olivia Johnson to find out what was going on.

But Olivia Johnson had no idea what she had signed. She did recall the transfer and had indeed signed a bunch of mind-boggling documents at that time.

They were all in English, and she couldn’t understand a word.

The translator with her had said that the documents were just routine paperwork and there was no problem at all.
