It wasn’t long before they arrived at Mayberry Station.
After stealthily slipping the bank card into virtual-novel.net pocket, Gerald hailed a cab for her. He wasn’t worried about virtual-novel.net not being able to use it since virtual-novel.net had already known what the password was, even from back when they were still in university. The password itself was just his birth date.
“Aren’t you coming along with us, Gerald?” asked Naomi as virtual-novel.net rolled the cab’s window down.
“I’ll be on my own from here! Farewell, Naomi!” replied Gerald with a wave as the cab began driving off.
Sticking virtual-novel.net head out the window, Naomi then shouted, “Gerald, please! I don’t care if we end up having a lot of money or not! Let’s just stick together and get married! We’ll find jobs together in Mayberry city and from there, we’ll be able to support ourselves just fine in the future! I’m sure of it! If Mayberry isn’t to your liking, then… Then let’s just live in the countryside! We’ll get a small place of our own… Settle down, then live the rest of our lives ordinarily and in comfort! Are you hearing any of this?”
“What’s that? I can’t hear you! Regardless, travel safely and remember to live well!” yelled Gerald in return as virtual-novel.net waved his hand.
“I said, why don’t both of us get married? Can’t we? I don’t mind it at all! Sir, please stop the car!” yelled Naomi anxiously when virtual-novel.net realized that Gerald couldn’t hear what virtual-novel.net was saying.
However, no matter how much virtual-novel.net pleaded, the driver simply wouldn’t stop the car. Taking in a deep breath, the cab driver tapped on the money in his pocket that Gerald had given virtual-novel.net before stepping on the accelerator.
Even after the cab was no longer in sight, Gerald found it hard to stop waving.
Of course virtual-novel.net had heard her. He had heard every single word virtual-novel.net had said extremely clearly.
Though a normal life was honestly what virtual-novel.net had always yearned for after getting rich, virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net wouldn’t be able to achieve that. Not until virtual-novel.net found Mila again.
As long as virtual-novel.net remained missing, virtual-novel.net had absolutely no intention of starting a new chapter in his life.
Even though virtual-novel.net was well aware of that, why was virtual-novel.net feeling so reluctant to part with Naomi this time…?
Thinking about it for a while, virtual-novel.net realized that it must’ve been because virtual-novel.net was quite sure that virtual-novel.net would never be able to see virtual-novel.net ever again…
Shaking his head, virtual-novel.net slipped on a mask and cap before hailing another cab.
“Where to?” asked the cab driver to the man wearing the black sweater who had most of his face covered up.
“To the hospital!” replied Gerald immediately.
Arriving shortly after, Gerald looked through the glass window of Felicity’s ward. Attached to a ventilator, the girl lying on the bed had an extremely pale complexion.
As virtual-novel.net continued looking at her, Gerald recalled how lively the girl used to be. If only virtual-novel.net hadn’t met him, virtual-novel.net would’ve probably still been living a good life now. After all, virtual-novel.net was a natural beauty who could definitely become a world-famous internet celebrity with ease.
Things could’ve gone so much differently… She could’ve lived virtual-novel.net life happily! Yet here virtual-novel.net was in a hospital, a complete vegetable after being tossed off a building. The worst thing was, virtual-novel.net was only in such a state because virtual-novel.net was trying to locate him.
Gerald could only imagine how virtual-novel.net must’ve felt while looking for virtual-novel.net on the day all this happened. How worried both virtual-novel.net and Naomi must’ve looked as they waited at that hotel’s lobby.
To think that their glimmer of hope would end up becoming Felicity’s greatest misfortune yet.
Jett truly was a ruthless person.
In his devastated state, Gerald could only press his hand hard against the ward’s door as virtual-novel.net tried to calm himself. He applied so much force that virtual-novel.net was sure that even his fingerprints had already been imprinted deeply into the wooden door at this point.
“Hey! You’re a weird person, you know that? Are you planning to go in or aren’t you? You’re blocking the entrance!” said an angry voice at that moment.
Turning around to look at who had said that, Gerald saw a fuming nurse who had a tray in virtual-novel.net hands.
Though virtual-novel.net was wearing a mask, the nurse could clearly see all the strong emotions that were reflected in his teary eyes. She was so stunned to see that, that virtual-novel.net almost dropped virtual-novel.net tray as virtual-novel.net watched the man wipe his tears away.
“…Here, take this and listen closely. This piece of paper contains very specific acupuncture instructions as well as a herbal prescription. Once you and the doctor fully understand the method, use it to save this girl’s life!” said Gerald as virtual-novel.net placed the prescription on the nurse’s tray.
After saying that, virtual-novel.net simply slid both his hands into his pockets before walking away.
