Chapter 517
Connor paused for a long time, then hoarsely repeated his question: "How much do you need?""Lend me two million first, and I’ll find Peter Barnes in the future... I’ll definitely pay you back!"
Connor agreed, then hung up the phone.
He lay in bed. His head didn’t hurt as much, his fever had gone down, and his stomach, perhaps because he’d been fed porridge, wasn’t burning uncomfortably like the previous night.
Just last night, after receiving Cora Ginger’s kindness and being cared for by her all night, Connor, who always repaid kindness, logged into his bank account and without hesitation transferred two million to her.
He got out of bed to get some water.
When he reached the living room, he suddenly stopped.
He remembered very clearly that he had originally been lying on the floor of the living room on the first floor last night.
But he woke up in bed!
How did Cora Ginger have the strength to carry a strong man like him, at one meter eighty-five, up to the second-floor bedroom?!
He might look thin, but in reality, his body was all solid muscle, and his bone density was higher than the average person’s. He weighed as much as 160 pounds!
It would take effort for a man to carry him, let alone a woman!
Could it be that Cora Ginger dragged him upstairs?
Connor shook his head. He had a high fever last night and couldn’t clearly remember.
But besides Cora Ginger, who else would come to care for him in the middle of the night?
It couldn’t be that he saw a ghost, and Natalie Niles crawled out of the morgue to feed him porridge and medicine, right?
She wasn’t that kindhearted.
Connor drank some water, got in his car, and went to see Johan Niles.
Johan Niles was in even worse shape, only knowing to cry, afraid that he would die at home with no one knowing.
Connor bought some porridge, carried it upstairs, and pushed open the unconsidered-closed door of Johan Niles, placed the porridge on the dining table, looked around, and found Johan Niles lying in bed, covered with a blanket.
It was impossible for Johan Niles to have crawled into bed and covered himself with the blanket!
He would rather jump out the window to commit suicide than willingly go to bed!
Who carried him to bed?
Johan Niles received the same treatment as him!
No, not the same.
Johan Niles was covered with a blanket, but he wasn’t.
Who was it?!
Connor’s heart raced wildly, and he shook Johan Niles awake: "Wake up! I think Natalie Niles might not be dead! Did she visit you last night?"
Johan Niles opened his eyes, red with tears, and his voice was hoarse: "Are you serious? Don’t lie to me!"
"There was someone taking care of me last night too, and I originally thought it was Cora Ginger, but she didn’t have the strength to carry me from the first floor to the second! Who carried you to bed?"
Johan Niles looked at the bed, eyes void of recognition: "I don’t recall, it seems no one came home."
"Impossible! I just saw your blanket was tightly wrapped around you, there’s no way you could have covered yourself so well!"
Johan Niles gripped Connor’s hand tightly, stumbling out of bed: "Was it really my sister? But her body..."
"Let’s go to the hospital! Check it out!"
The two scruffy, red-eyed men had just reached the door when a pink-haired girl blocked their way.
She was dressed in a tattered outfit, chewing gum, carrying soybean milk and fried dough, her tone old-fashioned: "Where are you going? What’s up? Aren’t you having breakfast?"
Connor frowned: "Who are you?"
Johan Niles stared at her intently: "I seem to have seen you before!"
Ruth continued chewing gum: "I haven’t seen you."
Johan Niles grabbed her hair: "Don’t think just because you dyed your hair pink I won’t recognize you! You hit me with your car, I’d recognize you even if you turned to ashes!"
