Evan Holmes saw his sorry state and thought his wife had already passed, his head buzzing and his face instantly turning pale.

“Your sister-in-law… She didn’t make it?”

“Burp…”

Bobby Prince lifted his head in a daze and said blankly, “Sister-in-law? She’s fine, nothing’s wrong with sister-in-law.

There was a young doctor at the scene who used a silver needle to help stop the bleeding, and not long after, the ambulance arrived.

The doctor on the ambulance said that if it hadn’t been for that brother’s good treatment, sister-in-law might have really been in trouble.

I’m telling you, bro, you have no idea, that brother’s technique was really fast, with those silver needles just whizzing…”

Evan Holmes finally understood and didn’t wait for Bobby to finish; he lifted his foot and gave him a kick.

“For Christ’s sake, your sister-in-law is fine and you’re howling like a fool here?”

“I… I was just regretting…”

Evan Holmes, his face dark with anger, cursed, “Shut up and get back!”

“Burp…”

Heeding the words, Bobby Prince immediately stopped crying, and had it not been for the tear streaks on his face, you wouldn’t have been able to tell he’d just been crying.

“How’s your sister-in-law doing now?”

“My sister-in-law is in the operating room now, doctors say her condition is good at the moment, but she needs to have a cesarean section to deliver my nephew.”

Upon hearing this, Evan Holmes breathed a sigh of relief.

He had been in love with his wife for many years, and they had a very good relationship. They had just managed to make it through rough times and started preparing to have a child.

If something happened at this point, he didn’t know how he would live on.

He suddenly thought of something, looked back at the empty hallway, and asked with a serious face, “What about the driver who caused the accident?”

“Ran off! The person who hit her is Kenny Walker’s auntie…”

Bobby’s face was filled with anger as he recounted the details of the incident.

After hearing this, Evan Holmes’s expression darkened even more.

Kenny Walker was a well-known boss in Riverhaven County, and even he started out under Walker’s wing.

The nickname “Golden Pile Driver” was also made under Kenny’s leadership.

Even now that he had struck out on his own, he still helped Kenny with his business.

Kenny was planning to go legit, and many dirty jobs would be handed over to him.

So, knowing that the person who caused the accident was Kenny’s aunt, Evan felt a sense of powerlessness.

One’s destiny is not in one’s own hands in the underworld!

He had no better options at the moment.

“After this period of time passes, I’ll go to Kenny Walker and ask for an explanation,” Evan Holmes sighed and then inquired, “You mentioned earlier, there was a young man who saved your sister-in-law. Where is he?”

“He was just here a moment ago; I turned away to take care of the bill, and he was gone when I returned.”

“Did he leave a phone number?”

Bobby scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and admitted, “I… I forgot.”

“I really don’t know what you do all day!”

Evan Holmes glared at him irritably and said, “Get the brothers on it right now; we have to find this benefactor.

If I can’t deal with the enemy who hit my wife, and then can’t find the benefactor, can I, Evan Holmes, ever show my face on the streets again?”

Outside the entrance of Love Home Garden, Greg Jensen finally managed to stuff a red note into Master Wang’s pocket, pulling and tugging hard to do so.

Master Wang had waited for most of the day outside the hospital, and Greg felt a bit embarrassed, so he offered a red note.

However, Master Wang refused to accept it, no matter what.

Having no other choice, Greg threatened to “never use his taxi again,” at which point Master Wang finally took the money.

“Alright, I’ll get going then. Call me if you need the car again.”

“Sure, take care, Master Wang.”

After watching Master Wang leave, Greg turned and walked into Love Home Garden, where Lois’s rented apartment was located.

The apartment wasn’t a large flat, but it did have a sizeable 160 square meters.

And out of those 160 square meters, only two rooms were bedrooms, the rest were various functional rooms.

In terms of functionality, there wasn’t much difference between this apartment and a large flat, except for the smaller area and building density.

Greg took the elevator up, and Lois, who had already received a call, was waiting for him at the door.

The moment the elevator door opened, she jumped onto Greg, clinging to him like an accessory, her legs tightly wrapped around his waist.

Greg smirked, “Heh, not afraid of others seeing us now?”

“It’s a private elevator entrance, what’s there to be afraid of, when no one else is around?”

“Alt, right, this place actually has a private elevator entrance.”

Greg, carrying Lois, walked in and found the apartment’s decor to be minimalist in style, predominately in black, white, and grey tones.

It looked both high-end and spacious.

“This place mustn’t be cheap, huh?”

“You bet, it’s fifty thousand a year.”

Hearing this, Greg couldn’t help but be astonished. In Riverhaven County, an annual rent of fifty thousand was certainly not inexpensive.

A regular residence would cost just two thousand a month, coming to less than thirty thousand a year.

Compared to that, this place was quite a bit pricier.

“So, how do you plan to compensate me?”

“Heh, how do you want to be compensated?”

Lois intended to joke with Greg, but upon seeing his expression, her face immediately turned red, and she scolded, “You’re so bad, already thinking dirty after just two sentences.”

“Weren’t you the one asking for compensation?”

Greg laughed heartily, took her to the sofa, and said, “Let’s start now then…”

“Don’t…”

Lois instinctively rejected him, but quickly gave up resisting.

It had to be said, the apartment she chose was really nice, especially the living room’s large floor-to-ceiling windows providing a clear view and overlooking most of Riverhaven County.

Especially standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, sipping tea while enjoying the view of Riverhaven County, the feeling was incredibly refreshing.

After chatting for a while, the two got up to prepare food.

Knowing he was coming over today, Lois had bought plenty of groceries, lacking nothing, not even chicken, duck, fish, or meat.

Both their cooking skills were decent, and in no time, they had prepared four dishes and a soup, and began to eat at the dining table.

After dinner, they cleaned up the dishes and the kitchen together.

Greg suddenly felt a warmth because this kind of home-like feeling had been absent for a long time.

Although he had lived with Lindsey Wolfe for a while, back then he was in a confused state and didn’t have much of an emotional response.

“Let’s take a break.”

Greg swept Lois’s stray hair behind her ear and sat down with her in the chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

The room was quiet, with only the sound of their breathing.

Lois turned her head, her gaze meeting Greg’s, and after a moment, she involuntarily closed her eyes.

Right then, her phone suddenly rang. After listening for a moment, Lois’s brows furrowed at once.

“Greg, my sister’s at a bar, being pestered by some young guys…”

“Alright, I’ll go take a look.”

Greg was rather helpless, as he had been looking forward to some exercise after dinner, but now it seemed that wasn’t going to happen.

He dressed, drove over in Lois’s car, and arrived at the location given by Lois’s sister.
