"This clinic is the best place for Mr. Morrison's recovery right now." Yolanda only said that because she knew Selena was just worried about being a burden.
"If anything happens with his condition, we can treat him immediately. As for the costs, don't worry about that. This is my clinic, so please feel at ease letting him recover here."
"This is your clinic?" Selena looked at Yolanda again with surprise. She had thought Yolanda just worked here instead of owning the place.
"Mr. Morrison took good care of me before, so I'm just returning the favor. Please don't feel burdened."
"Well... then I suppose my husband will have to trouble you a while longer..." Selena hesitated before agreeing. She knew Yolanda had a point. In her current situation, she really could not provide Kieran with the careful attention he needed.
"But we should still pay for his treatment and stay. I..." Selena trailed off, looking embarrassed.
Yolanda knew she probably did not have much money with her now. Selena had lost a pregnancy and her health had worsened, so Kieran told her to quit work and rest. After his disappearance, she had lost their income source.
With little savings, she'd had to rent a small market stall to make ends meet. But overwork and worry about Kieran had made her ill. That was why her brother took her to their parents' home in the neighboring province to recover.
Having just returned, she only had the ten thousand dollars her parents had given her. It was barely enough to cover even the hospital stay, let alone the medicine.
