The woman said that his boyfriend always thinks he is very sick. "It's called like hypochondria in English," she said, adding that he is never actually sick every time she takes him to a doctor.
Due to his health problem, her boyfriend quit his job, prompting her to work for both of them. Unfortunately, she recently got demoted because she cannot work full time in person.

That's when her serious problem started because she was also short of money. The woman said that recently, her boyfriend called, asking her to take him to the doctor because he was sick.
To make matters worse, everyone was blaming her.
