After arriving at the hospital, Allan went straight to the ward.
However, Marnon wasn't in the room when Allan arrived.
Allan went to the nurses' station outside and asked the nurse there, only to find out that Marnon was undergoing tests that would take one or two hours to complete.
Since Allan didn't have much to do, he decided to wait for Marnon outside the ward.
Marnon had already finished a few tests before Allan arrived, so Allan didn't have to wait long before Marnon returned.
When Marnon saw Allan sitting outside the ward, his steps faltered for a moment before he approached. "What are you doing here?"
Upon hearing Marnon's voice, Allan looked up and replied, "Have you finished the tests?"
Marnon nodded. "Do you need something?"
Allan nodded. "I wanted to ask you about some things regarding Sameer."
Marnon furrowed his brow upon hearing Allan's words. "Sameer is no longer here. What can you do by asking about those things?"
Allan stood up. "I know Sameer is gone, but you should have a better understanding of the kind of people in the Hill District of Viteto than I do, right?"
Marnon's brow furrowed even tighter this time. "You... Did someone from the Hill District come to Manches City?"
Allan evaded the question and redirected the conversation. "So, can we talk about it for the sake of Mitch and the others?"
This time, Marnon didn't hesitate. "Come in."
Allan nodded and followed Marnon into the ward.
"Take a seat wherever." After entering the room, Marnon went straight to the bed and gestured towards Allan.
Allan didn't hesitate either. He pulled a chair from the side and sat down next to the bed.
"What do you want to ask?" Marnon looked at Allan directly.
Allan didn't beat around the bush either. "When Sameer was with Nealon, did he ever take money from home?"
Marnon truthfully replied, "The most he took at once was over five thousand. Other times, it ranged from a few thousand to a thousand."
"Did he ever mention to you that he lent money to others?"
Marnon shook his head. "No, the money Nealon gave him, he mostly gave it to me and the children. How could he have any money left to lend to others?"
As Allan listened to Marnon's words, he was somewhat shocked. Sameer had done so much for Nealon, and although Nealon wasn't a good person, he had given Sameer quite a sum of money.
Nealon would give a little more if it meant giving Sameer a little extra. Otherwise, Sameer wouldn't have had millions in savings.
"Did he ever tell you anything about Nealon or the people around him?"
Marnon shook his head. "No, he said it's better for me and the children to know less about his affairs. He said it's for our own good, so he didn't tell us many things. I asked a couple of times before, but he always gave a brief answer."
After listening to Marnon's words, Allan nodded. It seemed he wouldn't get any more answers from Marnon, so he decided not to bother her further. After asking a few more questions, he prepared to leave.
As Allan stood up, Marnon suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist, looking up at him. "Is something wrong? Did someone come to Manches City?"
