Chapter 3074
John sat up in his bed at the mention of the man. He then stared at Tara with a frown. "Is he okay? Unfortunately, I passed out not long after the gunshot incident, so I didn't know what happened to him last night. I do remember that some of your men arrived just in time... Is he okay now?"
Although the old man's impulsivity cost him a gunshot wound, he could understand the man's point of view. After being trapped for so many days, it was no surprise he would be utterly depleted and anxious to leave.
John could not help wondering if the man contracted any illnesses from his imprisonment, considering he was old and frail.
Tara furrowed her brow when she noticed John's concern. John did not appear to be faking his worry.
According to Joshua, John did not know the man he saved was actually Gwen’s father. Judging from his reaction, Tara knew Joshua was right.
Tara smiled and replied, "He's fine. He's just a little malnourished but is recovering well. Unfortunately, he can't come visit you himself, so he sent me instead."
With that, she took out a credit card from her pocket and handed it to John. "This is a gift from him, a token of appreciation for your help. There's about seventy-five thousand dollars in here, and I'm sure it's more than enough for your needs. I did my research and found out your sister's surgery requires only about thirty-thousand dollars, but..."
She glanced at Robyn and continued, "Considering that she has multiple organ failure, it's safe to say she might need additional surgery again in the future, so you should keep the remaining forty-five thousand for the future.
"Seventy-five thousand doesn't even make a dent in our savings, so don't worry about using it."
