Chapter 173


    Chapter 173 The Wealthy Friend


    The bedroom door was pushed open and Sebastian came in, handing me my bag and saying, “Your


    phone should be in the bag, it’s been ringing, it must be your family calling you.”


    I nodded, murmured a thank you, then pulled out my phone to check it. There were several missed


    calls from my mother, Rachel, Alexander, and… Walter.


    –


    I nced at the iing call disy and returned each call to assure them of my safety. When it came


    to Walter, I closed my phone and didn’t continue to call back. I looked up at Sebastian and asked,


    “Where is this?”


    He paused, then chuckled, “My friend’s house. Because you were unconscious, and you were drugged,


    and the man’s body was difficult to exin, so he had you brought here and had a private doctor treat


    you.”


    Hearing him say that, I couldn’t help but ask, “What about your friend? Can I meet him and thank him in


    person?”


    Sebastian paused slightly, hesitated for a few seconds and said, “Now? He might be a bit busy. You


    should rest first. You just woke up and your body hasn’t fully recovered yet.


    I smiled faintly, shook my head slightly, and lifted the nket to get out of bed. He quickly stopped me,


    saying, “You’re not well yet…”

    “It’s okay now, I’m much better. I’ve troubled you for so long, I shouldn’t continue to be a bother.”


    Saying this, I got out of bed. My body still felt a bit weak, but fortunately, there was nothing seriously


    wrong anymore.

    Looking at Sebastian, I said, “Thank you for saving me and sorting out such a big trouble for me. If you


    need my help in the future, just ask. I will definitely do my best.”


    He shook his head, watching as I was determined to leave. He said, “Alright, I’ll take you.”


    As she spoke, she helped me out of the bedroom. The vi was evenrger than I had imagined,


    luxurious and extravagant. I looked around and then turned to her, “What’s the name of your friend? I’d


    like to invite you both for a meal someday to thank you in person for saving my life. Could you pass on


    the message for me?”


    Sebastian lifted his gaze towards a door not far from the bedroom. His young eyes paused slightly,


    then he responded to me, “Okay.”


    Of course, I noticed his gaze. I figured his friend must be busy in that room. I thought it wouldn’t be


    right to disturb someone at work like that, it would be better to meet another day and formally express


    my gratitude.


    Not long after leaving the vi, Alexander’s car arrived.


    After helping me into the car, Alexander looked at Sebastian, expressed his thanks, and then drove me


    away.


    On the bus.


    Alexander asked me about what had happened at the abandoned factory. After I finished telling him, he


    took a deep breath and said, “Ashley is really ruthless, not even sparing her own flesh and blood.”


    I pursed my lips, refraining from making anyments, and simply asked, “How is she doing now?”


    “I heard she was still in the emergency room, the situation ivas unclear,” Alexander recounted the


    events of the day. “When Rachel

    and I arrived, Walter was already there. Only Ashley was lying in a pool of blood, you and Henry were


    nowhere to be found. Walter thought you had been taken away by Henry. After the ambnce took


    Ashley away, he started searching for you with the police near the factory. But it seemed like the area


    around the factory had been deliberately tampered with, there were no traces to be found.”


    At this point, he frowned at me, “What’s the story with your friend? That vi just now, it’s not cheap in


    River City. And those cars parked outside the garage, I noticed there were bodyguards all around.


    What does he do? He looks quite young. Is he a rich second generation?”


    The friend he mentioned was Sebastian. I slightly shook my head and said, “Those are not my friends. I


    haven’t met the actual owner, they must be quite busy.”


    Alexander frowned, “A friend of a friend?” He paused, then said, “A stranger, who not only saved you


    because of a friend’s connection, but also took you to his own home and had a private doctor take care


    of you. He even helped you deal with a dead body, and you haven’t met this friend of a friend from


    beginning to end?”


    I nodded, momentarily at a loss for words. As for Sebastian, all I could think of at the moment was that


    his friend must have a deep


    rtionship with him. Other than that, I couldn’t think of any other


    reason.


    Instead of letting him continue on this topic, I said, “I’m fine now, you can go and tell the police not to


    continue the investigation. As for Ashley, have Cory keep an eye on her.”


    If she had woken up and realized that she had killed her own husband and child to frame me, I could


    still have been unscathed. I’m just afraid she might go mad.
