Slumdog Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 291

Chapter 291 How Much Does He Owe You?

Hearing their conversation, Gerald was a little touched.

This middle-aged man was obviously the one who saved Gerald. Judging from his looks and words, he should be an honest and kind person.

He could not bear to see Gerald die, but at the same time, he did not want to cause any trouble. He just wanted to live a stable life.

“It’s okay. Actually, it isn’t much money. By the way, now that he has woken up, there is no need to give him glucose. When the IV is finished, just pull out the needle. Let him eat nutritious food. It can help him get better quickly,” Camilla said.

“Okay, Dr. Doyle. I hope you won’t mention it to anyone. Everyone in the town has a big mouth. I really don’t want to cause trouble.” The middle-aged man’s voice rang again.

“Don’t worry,” Camilla said.

After the conversation ended, Camilla left.

Gerald lay on the bed, feeling extremely moved.

According to the conversation, this man’s family is not rich. After all, it seemed that he could not

even afford such low medical fees.

Soon, the man came in again. The vigilance remained in his eyes, yet it seemed that he had made up his mind. Then he smiled at Gerald and said, “Young man, it’s good that you are awake. You can rest

here and recuperate.”

“Sir, thank you,” Gerald quickly said. “I don’t know how to address you.”

The middle-aged man was stunned and seemed to hesitate to say his name.

“I’m really not a bad person.” Gerald let out a breath.

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth. After a moment, he exhaled and said, “My name is Wesley Carter. You can call me Wesley. This is Leila Carter, my daughter.”

“Thank you. My name is Gerald Kenneth,” Gerald said.

Wesley let out a breath. Hearing Gerald’s gentle tone, Wesley seemed to be a little less wary. looked at Leila and said, “Leila, keep an eye on Gerald. I will go out for a while. Kill the chicken at

He

home and stew it for dinner.”

Leila was stunned for a moment. She didn’t ask anything and obediently nodded.

Wesley found a set of clothes, changed into them, and left.

When Gerald heard this at the side, he was slightly moved.

This family was really kind.

A chicken was not expensive, but this family was not rich, and they had never met before, yet they saved Gerald and were willing to kill a chicken for him to eat. They were very nice.

Gerald silently memorized this, thinking that once his injuries healed, he would definitely return countless times their kindness.

After Wesley left, Leila seemed to be unable to do her homework. She sat next to Gerald and looked at him curiously, but her gaze was still vigilant.

She seemed to want to talk to Gerald, yet she didn’t seem to know what to say.

Gerald guessed her thoughts and took the initiative to talk to her.

High school girls were quite simple. Gerald chatted with her for an hour and got a lot of

information.

Leila’s family was not rich. Her mother was very bad and dissatisfied with Wesley. She didn’t take care of her family. Instead, she played cards with others in the town every day. Later, when Leila was about ten years old, her mother borrowed a lot of money on the Internet. Later, she couldn’t repay it. She gambled in the town and wanted to win the money back.

And then… she lost again.

After owing a lot of debt, she abandoned her husband and daughter and ran away with another man.

Leila’s father was a carpenter. In fact, nowadays, carpenters’ income was not low, yet he had to pay back the money for his wife, so he lived a hard life.

After listening to it, Gerald silently did not speak. He felt touched and did not know what to say.

He looked at Leila and let out a breath. “Are my things still here?”

“Yes. I’ll go get them for you.” Leila let down her guard and ran out when she heard Gerald’s words.

After a while, she ran in with Gerald’s things.

Leila said, “These are all I can find. There are two knives outside. My dad put them in the living

room.”

At this time, there were only four things in Leila’s hands. They were a broken mobile phone, a car key, a Diamond Card from New Bank, and Gerald’s ID card.

What surprised Gerald was that the car key, the Diamond Card, and the ID card were still intact.

As for the phone, it was completely damaged.
