Chapter 144

Haylan was a very loyal person.

He could never leave his brother behind, nor could he bear to watch his sibling’s life crumble. The bond between them was unbreakable, and he knew he had to do everything in his power to help

Upon seeing Perry in such a state, he resolved to pull his friend out of the quagmire. With determination in his heart, he set out to help Perry in any way he could.

Noah was taken aback. “You know about medicine?” he asked, surprised.

He wondered, “What kind of undercover operation is he?

“Did he really know medicine?”

“It’s been eight years, Haylan, and I can’t express my gratitude for your visit,” Perry said with a warm smile. “Your kindness

means a lot to me.”

His doctor had already given up on his legs. They were beyond repair, and there was no hope left for them.

Instead, Haylan brought a burst of sunshine into his monotonous life.

For years, he had been leading an incredibly miserable life, abandoned by everyone and left to fend for himself, all because he had offended Hugh’s nephew. And to make matters worse, after upsetting Hugh, no one cared about him anymore.

It was a delight for Haylan to come. Having him there was a source of happiness for him.

“I really know medicine, Haylan said.

“Let’s not get into that today. You brought barbecue, right? I haven’t had meat in ages. How about having dinner with me?” Perry suggested, his eyes lighting up at the sight of the juicy meat.

“Alright” Haylan nodded with tears in his eyes.

Noah arrived and quickly placed everything he had bought on the table, including the barbecue, milk, beer, and more. He even handed clean bowls and forks to Perry’s parents, making sure they had everything they needed for the meal.

Despite the stench emanating from a nearby trash station, Perry’s family enjoyed their meal with relish. The pungent odor was no match for their hearty appetites, and they savored each bite with gusto.

Perry’s father was even more emotional. “Noah, you’re a lifesaver! Every time you come over, we get to have a proper feast.”

Perry’s mother also added, “A friend in need is a friend indeed. And you, my dear, are Perry’s true brother”

As they savored their meal, they couldn’t help but let out contented sighs. They were so pleased with their food that they even carefully wrapped up the bones they had finished and discreetly stowed them away.

“Mr. and Mrs. Felicia, why are you hiding these bones?” Haylan frowned.

“For boiling soup.”
