After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 29

Chapter 29: Chapter 29: I Hope You All Live Well

"I don’t know what’s gotten into him. He looked at us like we were his mortal enemies.

We had just gotten Nana safely into the car, all of us protecting her."

Jenny Warner said through her tears. The man behind her was silent, his eyes full of grim resentment.

"I know no one wants to spare any medicine right now,

we just want to borrow your raincoats."

It turned out Jenny Warner had seen them from across the hall. She saw that visitors had arrived at Chelsea Walsh’s apartment, and more importantly, that those two were wearing acid-proof raincoats.

"We’ll definitely return them! We can pay!"

Isaac Lawson finally spoke. With no cash at home, he took out a golden bracelet.

"I have medicine."

Upon seeing the golden bracelet,

Nina Jacobs walked toward Isaac Lawson and took it from his hand.

"What’s your daughter’s name?"

She asked only after examining the golden bracelet in her hand and confirming it was real gold.

"Her name is Melanie Lawson. Do you really have medicine?"

Jenny Warner asked excitedly.

"Take me to see her."

Nina Jacobs nodded. She had used her Five Senses Enhancement and overheard Ivan Lawson’s insane rant.

If Melanie Lawson had truly been contaminated by the acid rain, no medicine in the world would work.

"That’s wonderful."

The couple wept with joy.

Chelsea Walsh was surprised. Nina Jacobs seemed so cold, but she was actually this kindhearted. Her opinion of Nina improved even more.

Nina Jacobs carefully examined Melanie Lawson.

The little girl was already comatose with a high fever.

"We had some medicine at home, and we even borrowed some from a kind neighbor, but we’ve used it all, and nothing has worked," Isaac Lawson explained.

"Have her drink this."

Nina Jacobs took out a small brown bottle.

Inside the bottle was the system’s Healing Potion, which she had transferred into the container to avoid suspicion.

It looked a bit like a bottle of cough syrup.

Melanie Lawson’s body showed signs of acid rain burns, but the wounds weren’t festering or oozing pus.

’She guessed there was a good chance Melanie Lawson hadn’t been infected by the virus in the acid rain.’

’But that could change if her fever was left unchecked.’

Desperate for a cure, the couple didn’t even ask what the medicine was before giving it to Melanie Lawson.

"Pushing a child that small out of the car... What was he thinking?"

Leo Hale muttered from the doorway, unable to comprehend it.

The atmosphere in the room grew tense.

But then, Jenny Warner’s expression slowly turned to one of joy:

"Nana’s breathing isn’t as labored as before!

The medicine is working! It’s working!"

[Host’s action will save one human life. "Selfless Savior" title triggered. Reward: 1 bottle of Healing Potion.]

The system’s notification chimed again.

Nina Jacobs got up. "We should head back now."

’Since the system said Melanie Lawson was going to be fine, then she was going to be fine.’

"I hope you all manage to stay alive."

’Ivan Lawson wanted this family to die in agony. Well, she wasn’t about to let him get his wish.’

"It’s a good thing you guys came over.

That Ivan Lawson... he was tricked into a pyramid scheme once. His brother and sister-in-law had to pay to get him out.

I can’t believe he’s so ungrateful."

Chelsea Walsh had clearly bounced back. Perhaps because she hadn’t spoken to anyone in days, the stories about her neighbors and the events of the past week came pouring out of her.

Nina Jacobs listened quietly.

’How had she not realized what a scumbag Ivan Lawson was in her past life?’

「Late that night.」

While Leo Hale and Chelsea Walsh were asleep, Nina Jacobs slipped out of the old apartment complex without waking anyone.
