Chapter 187

Felix’s collar buttons were loosened a few times, and he looked a little casual. He flicked the cigarette ash with his slender fingers, and put the money on the table into his pocket with a smile.

“This should cover today’s expenses. I gotta go now, the hospital’s breathing down my neck for payment.”

“Felix, you’ve got yourself a rich girl, you’re still strapped for cash? Don’t rush off to the hospital, we’re in a bit of a pinch ourselves. The money you just won is peanuts compared to what you owe.”
