Bang! Bang! Bang '
Wanda looked up at the fireworks outside. All kinds of fireworks, they were temporary and beautiful, flashing in the black sky, revealing her calm face.
It had been a year since she moved here.
This was the Half-moon Town. When she was a child, there were also many people here. But later, because the young people wanted to go out for work, and some of the older generation passed away others moved out. Now there was few people living here anymore. Only on festivals, there would be someone who wanted to add a little life to this silence.
Wanda had planned to find a job in the town after she settled down here. But since Ryan was beaten by Kevin's men last time and locked up by Nelson for a few days, his health was worse than before.
However, the best thing was that there was no casino here. Ryan could do nothing even if he wanted to.
They lived a carefree life now, and it was the same as before. Every day, she would worry about how she would treat her uncle if he fell ill again.
But things couldn't always be a win-win situation. In this kind of days, she had an unprecedented peace, and gradually destroyed some of the extravagant hopes that were almost born.
It seemed that she just had a dream in the city where she used to live. When the dream woke up, everything was the same.
"Ahem..."
Ryan coughed violently in the room, which made Wanda's heart tremble. She quickly stood up and walked in. Recently, her uncle coughed more and more violently, and the doctors in the town couldn't find anything wrong with him. But according to his situation, they all persuaded Wanda to send him to a big hospital, but Ryan refused.
Ryan had already sat up on the bed because of the cough. Wanda walked over and gently smoothed his back.
She poured him another glass of warm water.
Ryan took it and drank it. He turned around and looked at Wanda. With a pale face, he was much skinnier than before.
"Uncle, let's go to the town to have a look tomorrow. If it doesn't work, we can go to the South Sea City."
"Don't waste that money. I'm old enough." Ryan looked at Wanda with his dark eyes and said, "I know you still blame me in your heart, but Wanda, I'm really afraid of being poor all my life. I know I was selfish. I wanted to ease your burden by gambling, but... "
"Let bygones be bygones. You'd better cure your disease first. Everything will be fine. " Wanda held Ryan's hand and said with red eyes. How could a family hate each other overnight? Besides, it had been a long time since the incident happened.
