Chapter 1239 Casey's mom said, "It's just sminor stuff." Casey shot back, "Minor? Seriously? Diabetes, stomach issues, high blood pressure, and cerebral arteriosclerosis? That's a lot more than minor." She rattled off the list, leaving Quinn totally floored. Quinn had never seen someone with so many health problems at once.
Indeed, they weren't deadly, but dealing with all that had to be rough.
Suddenly, it clicked why Casey was so desperate for cash. Those meds must cost a fortune.
Casey's mom chuckled awkwardly. "They're not that serious. They won't kill me. Don't make a big deal out of it." Casey felt a bit down. What really got to her was that sof these illnesses couldn't be cured, no matter how much money she made.
But if she could make her mom's life a bit easier, that'd be something.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtQuinn pressed her lips together, not sure how to comfort her. She picked up the veggies on the ground and started sorting them.
Casey asked if Alexander was coming back for dinner. Quinn shook her head. She didn't even have a phone now, so how would she know? She sat at the door, chatting with Casey. Even though she hadn't known Casey long and everything was new, having someone to talk to made her feel less alone.
Her only worry was Abigail. She had no idea how Abigail was doing, or if she was even still alive.
Landon was out cold for a whole day. It wasn't until evening that he slowly woke up, staring blankly at the gray sky.
Suddenly, a head popped into view, blocking the thin moonlight.
"You're awake?" Abigail asked.
She stood with her back to the light, so Landon couldn't see her face, but he could hear the smug tone in her voice. He tried to smirk and said weakly, "Go away." Abigail clicked her tongue and stepped back. She grabbed a bowl and scooped swild veggie porridge from the pot.
"I've been watching over you all afternoon, keeping the porridge warm so it wouldn't get cold. See how nice I am?" Abigail said proudly. Landon stayed silent.
Abigail handed him the porridge. "You gonna drink this or what?" He turned his face away. He was so weak he didn't want to say a word, let alone move.
Even breathing made his wounds hurt like hell, let alone getting up to eat.
Abigail sighed, scooped a spoonful of porridge, and brought it to his mouth. "Just have a bit. Don't starve to death and have your guys killout of anger. That'd be so unfair." "You're the first person I've ever fed like this. I haven't even fed my own dad. See how lucky you are." "But don't thanktoo much. Just take off the shackles." Abigail kept yapping beside him. Landon's forehead veins throbbed, and he finally couldn't take it anymore. He raised his hand with difficulty and grabbed her wrist.
"Shut up!" he snapped weakly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAbigail was stunned. Seeing the murderous look in his eyes, she immediately shut her mouth.
He didn't use much force, so Abigail was fine, but he pulled at his wound, causing him to curl up in pain.
Abigail blinked, quietly watching him. She gently placed the bowl on the ground and touched her nose.
Even though she couldn't feel Landon's pain, she knew the cuts she made were deep. She could stillm remember the feeling of the knife EM." cutting through flesh, and it made her shudder just thinking about it.
Landon was tough. Despite the pain, he hadn't made a sound.
Abigail sat beside him for a while and noticed he was still in the samem Still in the position but his whole body was trembling.
She leaned over, moved his arm aside, and saw blood flowing out spaking the entire bandage around his abdomen in red. The red was shocking to see.
