Chapter 1116 Favor

“Mr. Jefferson, I truly owe you an apology. Even if I were in good health now, without the support of the Greaves family, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have the money to treat you to a decent meal, let alone in my current condition Garett said with a very weak voice.

At that moment, an overwhelming sensation of suffocation engulfed him, as if an invisible hand had constricted around his throat, making each breath a struggle. A weighty burden settled upon his chest, causing an unbearable discomfort, as if a crushing stone threatened to snuff out his life at any moment

Alex didn’t speak and instead helped Garett sit up from the bed and gently patted his back with his palm.

Slowly rotating his palm, he infused his inner energy into Garett’s body before striking Garen ́s back forcefully. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

The moment Alex’s palm landed on Garett’s back, Garett spat out a mouthful of black blood, staining the quilt that covered his body.

Just then, the door suddenly opened. Micah, who was holding a tray of food in his hand, was stunned by the scene before him. He was unsure of what to do.

He wasn’t reckless enough to assume that Alex had injured his grandfather. Instead, he carefully observed and noticed that his grandfather’s complexion had improved significantly after coughing out the black blood. Only then did he realize that Alex had actually come to save his grandfather.

“Mr. Jefferson, thank you so much. I truly cannot repay your kindness in taking care of my family.” With that, Micah gave Alex a polite bow.

After expelling the black blood through a series of coughs, Garett experienced a noticeable improvement in his breathing. The oppressive sensation that had weighed upon his chest dissipated, leaving him feeling considerably relieved.

His friend had no means to save his life, and he was told he only had a few days to live. However, an unexpected turn of events occurred when he extended an invitation to Alex, which unexpectedly led to his life being saved.

“Mr. Jefferson, I owe you a favor so big that I can never repay it in this lifetime!” Garett said with a heavy sigh, his eyes filled with desolation.

In the past, he could have gladly offered the century-old Polygonum multiflorum, a treasured family heirloom, to Alex. If the Greaves family hadn’t been forcibly occupied by those people from the secret forces, he would have willingly handed over the entire family to Alex without any hesitation.

“Mr. Greaves, do you think I lack anything with my current strength? If there’s anything I lack, it might simply be a lack of a meal, as I find myself rather hungry at the moment,” Alex remarked, patting his own empty stomach.

Upon seeing the food in Micah’s hand, Alex said with a smile, “Garett, if you really want to repay my favor, why not let me eat this meal?”

Garett glanced at the food in Micah’s hands, which was too bland. It was just a simple meal bought from outside cheaply, including green salad, sautéed broccoli, and two boxes of spaghetti

Ever since the Greaves family got taken over by force, they had escaped with nothing to their name. Moreover, the secret forces had ordered that no one should have any contact with the Greaves family. As a result, their former friends didn’t dare to help them under such circumstances. Therefore, having a full

meal had become a luxury for both Garett and Micah.

“Mr. Jefferson, this…”

Before Garett could even speak, Alex interrupted him directly.

“Come on, Garett. Aren’t you being a bit too stingy? I just want to have some of your food, and you won’t even agree to that. I’m starving right now, so you have to give the food to me whether you like it or not.

As Alex spoke, he snatched the food from Micah’s hand. Grabbing the disposable fork, he started devouring the food.

In a matter of moments, he consumed the food with an impressive speed, leaving no trace behind. Finally, with a contented burp, he signaled his satisfaction.

“The food tastes pretty good. Thank you for your hospitality, Garett!” Alex said, patting his round belly.

Micah and Garett didn’t know what to say. Although their food for the day had been eaten by Alex, and they might go hungry for a day, they couldn’t help but feel delighted inside.

After leaving the rental house, Alex wiped his mouth clean as a cold expression appeared on his face. He didn’t expect the people from the secret forces to be so outrageous.

Originally, Alex had no intention of getting involved in this matter, but now he had changed his mind. He was determined to teach those who had concealed the truth a lesson no matter what
