The Legendary Man novel Chapter 236

Chapter 236 Reunion

“Didn’t you guys call the police?” Jonathan asked with a frown.

“We did!” Alice lowered her head and fidgeted her fingers. “The police didn’t do anything to help us. Rumors say the police and the demolition team are in it together! Jon, could you help put in a good word for us with Mr. Lautner so that they don’t demolish our house? Otherwise, we’d be homeless!”

As she was speaking, her eyes teared up, and she looked at Jonathan helplessly.

Jonathan was her only hope by then.

“Didn’t they offer compensation? Didn’t the demolition team give you guys any money?” Jonathan furrowed his brows.

“They did!” Alice bit her lips and continued, “But they only gave us fifty thousand. What on earth could we get with fifty thousand? Jon, do you know that a small house in the county costs up to seven hundred thousand? We can’t even afford a washroom with fifty thousand!”

“They only gave you fifty thousand?” Jonathan was in disbelief. Is this a joke?

He had been to Alice’s house in the past. Although it wasn’t a big house, it was definitely more than a hundred square meters big. Fifty thousand was way too little.

“Leave it to me!” Jonathan stubbed out his cigarette and glanced at Alice. “I’ll get it sorted out. In the meantime, take good care of your parents!”

“Thank you, Jon!” Alice bit her lips and bowed.

“Don’t mention it!” Jonathan gently patted her head. The moment he was about to say something else, a weak voice was heard coming from inside the ward. “Alice, are you there?”

“Mom!” Alice yelled and rushed into the ward immediately.

In the ward, there was a middle-aged woman with an oxygen tube attached to her nostrils. She was pale and weak.

“Alice?” the middle-aged woman voiced when she saw Alice walking through the door. She tried to sit up straight, but she was just too weak to do so.

“Let me help you, Mom!” Alice hurried toward her and helped her up.

“Ouch!” The middle-aged woman hissed in pain as she was sitting up. Apparently, her motion had put pressure on her wound. “What happened to me?”

“Mom, have you forgotten about what happened a few days ago?” Alice bit her lip and said, “Along with Dad, the both of you got into a row with the demolition team!”

“Oh, I remember now!” The middle-aged woman regained her memory. She then looked around anxiously and asked, “Where’s your dad?”

“Dad hasn’t woken up yet!” Alice pointed toward a middle-aged man lying in a bed next to her. “The doctor said you guys only suffered light injuries but somehow knocked your heads during the scuffle. Fortunately, a few days of recovery is all it’ll take!”

“All right. That’s good news!” The middle-aged woman breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, she noticed there was a man standing behind Alice. She couldn’t help but ask, “Alice, is… is he your boyfriend?”
