The ward is surrounded by a group of people. When Nelson wakes up, seeing so many people, he is shocked for he is still a child. “Mommy.” As soon as he opens his mouth, Florence is a little nervous, and afraid that these irrational people would do something to Nelson. Florence wants to squeeze out, but the leading woman is obviously irrational. She raises her hand, and slaps hard on Florence’s face. “I don’t allow you to bully my mother! You are a bad woman!” Nelson jumps up from the bed at once, he also wants to squeeze into the crowd to protect her mommy.


“Calm down, Nelson.” Florence notices that he is coming, and she is afraid that these people would injure him. She knows that these people have already lost their senses, and they just want to vent their anger. “Hurry out with the sister nurse. Mommy will be fine.” At ordinary times, Florence dotes on Nelson, but she has her own education methods, so at a critical moment, Nelson is also afraid to annoy her, but he still stubbornly refuses to leave. Fortunately, the nurse finally picks up Nelson who is out of the crowd and prepares to leave. But people are all sensitive. The woman finds the existence of Nelson, and she makes an eye gesture, and soon, before the nurse is able to go out, she is surrounded by a group of people.


They are hard to move, and these people come here today only to find someone to vent their grievances, so there is no way to reason with them. Florence also knows it, and her body responds quickly. She squeezes into them and hugs Nelson in her arms. Sure enough, those people start punching and kicking her, and Florence feels a lot of pain coming from her body. Nelson in her arms cries out, “Don’t hit my mommy, you can’t hit my mommy! You are bad guys!”


“Fuck, stop!” A roar comes suddenly from the ward, and all the people stop. Looking towards the source of the sound, a slender and tall man stands at the door of the ward. But the monstrous anger in his eyes still scares them. The leading woman is shocked by the coldness in his eyes, and her body couldn’t help shuddering, “Who are you?!” “I’m her husband.” These words make Florence stiff, and she looks at Brian in disbelief. He walks over to her, frowning deeply. Florence lowers her head and wants to hide. Brian guards her and Nelson behind him, and looks around at all the people in the ward. The aura makes them feel timid.


Brian sets his eyes on the woman who takes the lead. “Who allows you to come here and strike my wife?” The woman looks at him bitterly, “My husband died because of her. She and her child are jinxes. If my husband had not saved her, would he have died?” Such unreasonable words sound chilling. Brian squints, “Is two million yuan enough?” “Brian!” Florence is shocked to go forward, but Brian raises his hand to stop her movement.


The woman is stunned for a moment. She first looks at the man behind her and they look at each other. She knows that Brian is a rich man, and she takes this opportunity to increase the compensation. “My husband has already died. Two million yuan, do you play at us?” “Four million yuan.” Four million yuan is already an astronomical figure for these people. Even if they work day and night, they are also impossible to earn four million yuan. So it’s hard for that woman to hide her joy.


Florence feels a little sad. She remembers the driver who was desperate to save them. She prefers that that woman beats her just because she is sad. She would rather that woman continued to be angry with her, instead of being bought by four million yuan.


Such naked humanity makes her a little difficult to accept. Brian takes a step forward, frowning, and the corners of his mouth sink slightly, “I will give you five million yuan, but as for the extra one million yuan I will require you to do something else for me.” Florence doesn’t know what Brian wants to do. “How did you hit her just now, and you hit yourself the same way now. If I can’t see the blood, you won’t get any of this five million yuan.” Brian speaks out indifferently.


The woman bites her lip. “Ten seconds for you to think, and you must know that your husband died in the line of duty. If you go through the legal process, even a penny you are unlikely to get.” “Why should I believe you?” Brian glances at the door, and Rodney comes in with a box. He opens the box, which is full of RMB. The woman’s eyes light up immediately, and the person behind her steps forward to remind her, “I have seen him in the newspaper and he is the CEO of Si Group. There can be no mistake about it.”


No wonder you can’t test some people with money, because when they betray themselves, it will make us think that society has gone backwards for hundreds of years, and that these people are animals. Naturally, the result is that the woman succumbs to the money, and soon there is one slap after another in the ward. Florence’s heart grows colder and colder. She looks at the woman kneeling on the ground, “That’s enough!” She looks at Brian who stands beside her, “Is it fun?” Brian doesn’t answer, but he looks directly at the woman, saying indifferently, “Continue.”


The final result is that the woman does get five million yuan, and they leave happily, but the dean and doctors of this hospital are carefully waiting for the result of his treatment. Finally, it is only because of Florence’s pleading that they can escape. When such a thing happened, there is no way to stay in the hospital, so Brian takes them back to the Si family toughly. Nelson is a friendly child. When he sees Nanny Liu, he jumps up and hugs her happily. The children are all heart-to-heart, and they will always remember the kindness you have shown to them. Thus it can be seen from this that Nanny Liu really cares about Nelson.


Although Florence is suspicious of Brian’s sudden appearance in the hospital, she does not ask him, nor does she have the opportunity, because after sending them back, Brian leaves Rodney behind and then he leaves immediately. Nelson is troubled for so long, in addition to that his body is weak, so he quickly falls asleep. Florence sits on the chair in the backyard garden and presses her forehead with a little vexation. She doesn’t forget that Brian would marry Antonia. She and Nelson suddenly appear in Si family. How would other people think of them? What would the outside world think of him? She really doesn’t want to get herself into trouble anymore, nor does she hope that others are implicated because of her. While contemplating, she hears footsteps coming from behind. Without looking back, she knows it is Rodney. “Rodney, has Brian’s wedding date with Antonia been decided?” Rodney is surprised by her sensitivity. He unconsciously smiles slightly, steps forward, and stands beside her. Florence raises her hand and motions him to sit down and he does. “Actually, you also care about Mr. Si, but why don’t you say that?”
