Chapter 84 The Same Choice

• Ben came out of Oriental Group and stood at the door to wait for the bus with very little money left on him.
• The medical expenses he paid Henry today were mainly the compensation from the gangsters arranged by the police. Besides, he forked out two thousand from his savings. Initially, the medical fees were not that expensive, but because Henry arranged for Ben to stay in a special care ward with a dedicated caretaker, the fees increased significantly. On the other hand, it was also due to Henry's influence that the police pressured the gangsters and forced them to pay a considerable sum of compensation to Ben. However, even with that, it was not enough to cover the hospitalization fee, and Ben had to make up the balance with all his savings. As such, he had become a pauper now.
• Ben didn't have to return Henry this money because he was beaten up protecting Tilly. So, it was reasonable for Henry to pay for his hospitalization, but Ben insisted on returning the money. Just like he said, it didn't matter if Henry looked down on him, but he didn't want to look down on himself. Moreover, no one forced him to protect Tilly and get beaten up. Since it was his voluntary action, he should bear the consequences alone. This was his choice and his pride. He was a man of high self-esteem.
