Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 539

Violeta said, "You're on the set. The medical team administered a glucose injection to you."

Archer responded, "Oh, thank you."

Violeta dismissed his gratitude with a wave. "No need to thank me. Saving a life is worth more than a mountain of good deeds. Just remember, I saved you and expect you to repay me in the future."

Archer looked at her with a mix of confusion and surprise.

Violeta asked, "What's the matter?"

Archer replied, "It's unusual to see someone so upfront about expecting repayment."

While most people prefer to keep their good deeds private, Violeta was refreshingly straightforward about her expectations.

Violeta shrugged. "What's the issue? Do you not want to repay me?"

Archer asked, "What do you want from me?"

Violeta replied, "I don't need anything at the moment. You figure out how to repay me. Whatever you think your life is worth, that's what you should give me."

With that, Violeta rose from her chair. "Now that you're awake, I'm heading out. Oh, and one more thing."

She pulled a few pieces of candy from her bag that she got from the goodies bag at Niall's wedding and handed them to him.

"Here's some candy. Given your issues with low blood sugar, you should always have some on hand. Honestly, I've never met anyone with blood sugar problems who doesn't take better care of themselves.

"Next time, if no one is around to help you, you might as well prepare for the worst."

With that, Violeta walked out.

Archer looked at the candy in his hand.

Who said he wasn't prepared?

It was just that the candy in the car had run out ...

Soon after Violeta left, the stage manager entered.

"Oh, Mr. Barnett, you're awake! I've already called Mr. Mason. Would you like to wait for him?"

Archer slipped the candy into his pocket, his face expressionless, and said coolly, "No need. I'm leaving now."

The stage manager asked, "Huh? Don't you want to rest a bit longer?"

Archer replied, "No need."

The stage manager said, "But ... your car was damaged. Are you sure you want to drive it?"
