Chapter 294 Exchange With Your Head for It
Gerald was indeed weak. He never expected that he would be so weak after using Death Storm.
He missed Valery a lot at this time.
He had to rest once every time he walked for several feet. He walked far slower than normal people.
They set out at around twelve in the afternoon. When they arrived in the town, two hours had already passed. It was two in the afternoon.
With the help of Leila, Gerald went to the bank. He sat on the chair and rested for half an hour. Then he let out a long sigh of relief and went to the ATM. He took 3,200 dollars out.
Then in the afternoon, with the help of Leila, he went to the mobile phone store to buy a new phone and got a new SIM card.
The SIM card of his former phone couldn’t be used any longer after his phone was broken.
Gerald did all this for one thing.
He wanted to contact Valery.
His current physical condition didn’t allow him to help Wesley and his daughter at all.
If he helped them return the money, some unnecessary trouble might be caused. So… He decided to come out, buy a new phone, and get a new SIM card. So that he could contact Valery.
Although he couldn’t remember Valery’s phone number, he was her friend on Line.
His Line account was associated with his phone number. He even couldn’t use other people’s phones to log onto his Line account when his SIM card couldn’t be used.
So, he had to come out today and apply for a new SIM card.
When everything was done, it was about five o’clock in the afternoon.
From beginning to end, Leila did not ask much. She stayed quietly beside Gerald. When she saw
Gerald taking the money, she did not say anything, nor did she ask Gerald for a reward.
In fact, she rarely spoke!
After taking the money, preparing the phone, and turning it on, they slowly headed back to the
house.
After leaving the town and seeing that there was no one around, Gerald took out his phone and logged into Line. He sent Valery a message.
During the past few days, Valery had been in a bad mood. She spent most of her time looking at her phone with anticipation.
Even though she did not know when Gerald would contact her.
She did not know if Gerald was still alive!
She didn’t know whether Gerald would lose his memory even if he survived, just like three years
ago.
But she still waited.
She had no choice but to sleep for two hours since Macy urged her several times. But still, she didn’t sleep well.
Then she got up again, waiting for the news from Night Watch while looking at her phone.
Ding!
Suddenly, she got a video chat request on her Line.
Valery trembled and quickly picked up the phone on the table. When she saw the name on the phone, her face instantly revealed a look of ecstasy.
“Macy, Gerald called me. Gerald called me!” She almost screamed and cheered.
Inside the room, Macy quickly rushed out.
On the way, Gerald held his phone. He felt his arms sore as he took the phone. He was really too weak. He said to Leila, “Leila, hold the phone for me. My arm is sore.”
Leila held the phone for him. At this time, the call was connected. Valery was on the phone. She seemed exhausted. There were two big dark circles under her eyes. Her eyes were full of concern. She asked, “I knew that you were definitely still alive. Where are you? I will come to you now.”
She looked at Gerald’s pale face and felt a little pain in her heart.
Gerald smiled slightly and said, “I didn’t expect you to care about me so much. Oh, look at these dark circles. Are you worried about me? I’m so touched that I’m crying!”
Valery was stunned. When she heard Gerald talk like this again, her face returned to cold. “How’s your injury?”
“I’m just weak. I was slashed dozens of times, but no big deal. I will recover after some time.” Gerald said while thinking.
Leila was holding the phone for him on the side. When hearing Gerald’s words, she was a little
afraid. She trembled a little.
However, over the past few days, she could tell that Gerald was a good guy, so she gritted her teeth and stood there still.
“Send me the address. I’ll be right there!” Valery quickly said.
Gerald nodded. “I will send you the location. After you arrive in town, go find a doctor called Camilla Doyle and ask her to bring you here to find me. By the way, bring some people with you. I need some
support.”
“Got it!” Valery directly hung up the phone.
