Chapter 848: Reed Will Be Entrusted to You from Now On

After arriving at the hospital, Allan went straight to the ward.

However, Marnon wasn't in the room when Allan arrived.

Allan went to the nurses' station outside and asked the nurse there, only to replace out that Marnon was undergoing tests that would take one or two hours to complete. Since Allan didn't have much to do, he decided to wait for Marnon outside the ward.

Marnon had already finished a few tests before Allan arrived, so Allan didn't have to wait long before Marnon returned.

When Marnon saw Allan sitting outside the ward, his steps faltered for a moment before he approached. "What are you doing here?"

Upon hearing Marnon's voice, Allan looked up and replied, "Have you finished the tests?"

Marnon nodded. "Do you need something?"

Allan nodded. "I wanted to ask you about some things regarding Sameer."

Marnon furrowed his brow upon hearing Allan's words. "Sameer is no longer here. What can you do by asking about those things?"

Allan stood up. "I know Sameer is gone, but you should have a better understanding of the kind of people in the Hill District of Viteto than I do, right?"

Marnon's brow furrowed even tighter this time. "You... Did someone from the Hill District come to Manches City?"

Allan evaded the question and redirected the conversation. "So, can we talk about it for the sake of Mitch and the others?"

This time, Marnon didn't hesitate. "Come in."

Allan nodded and followed Marnon into the ward.

"Take a seat wherever." After entering the room, Marnon went straight to the bed and gestured towards Allan.

Allan didn't hesitate either. He pulled a chair from the side and sat down next to the bed.

"What do you want to ask?" Marnon looked at Allan directly.

Allan didn't beat around the bush either. "When Sameer was with Nealon, did he ever take money from home?"

Marnon truthfully replied, "The most he took at once was over five thousand. Other times, it ranged from a few thousand to a thousand."

"Did he ever mention to you that he lent money to others?"

Marnon shook his head. "No, the money Nealon gave him, he mostly gave it to me and the children. How could he have any money left to lend to others?"

As Allan listened to Marnon's words, he was somewhat shocked. Sameer had done so much for Nealon, and although Nealon wasn't a good person, he had given Sameer quite a sum of money. Nealon would give a little more if it meant giving Sameer a little extra. Otherwise, Sameer wouldn't have had millions in savings.

"Did he ever tell you anything about Nealon or the people around him?"

Marnon shook his head. "No, he said it's better for me and the children to know less about his affairs. He said it's for our own good, so he didn't tell us many things. I asked a couple of times before, but he always gave a brief answer."

After listening to Marnon's words, Allan nodded. It seemed he wouldn't get any more answers from Marnon, so he decided not to bother her further. After asking a few more questions, he prepared to leave. As Allan stood up, Marnon suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist, looking up at him. "Is something wrong? Did someone come to Manches City?"

Allan looked at Marnon. "No."

"Really?" Marnon still seemed skeptical.

Allan nodded. "I'm here, they won't come."

Marnon looked at Allan for a moment before letting go of his hand. "I know you and Nealon are different."

Allan smiled. "I'm not a good person either."

Marnon said, "Reed told me about what you did to help him."

Upon hearing these words, Allan was shocked and looked at Marnon. "She... told you everything?"

Marnon nodded. "She did."

Allan didn't know what to say for a moment. He thought Reed hadn't told the Millers about that incident. He didn't expect Reed to tell Marnon.

Just as Allan was trying to replace the right words to say, Marnon's voice interrupted his thoughts. "You like Reed, don't you?"

If Marnon's previous words had surprised Allan, this sentence made him feel anxious.

So Allan stood by the bed, looking at Marnon, unable to say a word.

Seeing Allan's nervous expression, Marnon couldn't help but chuckle softly. "No need to be nervous. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have known what happened to Reed. So we owe you a thank you." "At that time, I just... happened to be there," Allan suddenly became a little nervous in front of Marnon.

He had helped Reed and could have accepted Marnon's thanks, but at this moment, Allan felt like he had done something wrong and was caught by Marnon.

"As long as Reed doesn't mind, I don't mind either. I know I won't last long in this condition. Mitch is stubborn, he thinks staying in the hospital will cure me, that I'll live forever in this big city. But how can I not know my own body?" Marnon sighed. "I don't want to stay here. They worry too much. Mitch told Reed that if I'm discharged and something happens, they'll follow me. So I can't suggest leaving the hospital. They, together with the doctors, have been lying to me, saying that chemotherapy in the hospital will keep me alive. I know all this, but I just don't want to expose it in front of them."

Allan stood by the bed, listening to Marnon's words.

After she finished speaking, Allan finally spoke up. "They're just worried about you."

"I know," Marnon replied.

After Marnon's words, she turned around and took a black wallet from under the pillow, then handed it directly to Allan. "This is all the money Sameer gave me. Except for some household expenses, the rest is here. Can you help me calculate and distribute it evenly among Yanis and the others?"

Allan looked at Marnon. "Why don't you give this money directly to Mitch?"

"This money was earned by Sameer and has always been with me. I was thinking of dividing it among my siblings in the future. But now that I'm staying here, apart from what Yanis has given us, a lot of the money comes from Yanis' husband and friends. I think I should pay them back." Marnon explained.

Allan didn't take the wallet that Marnon handed over. "If they're helping, they won't accept this money. Keep it for yourself or give it to Mitch and the others."

Marnon looked at Allan. "By doing so, I'm only burdening Mitch and the others. I..."

"I came to ask you about Sameer's matter. I won't get involved in these things. Reed would be upset if she found out." Allan interrupted Marnon.

After hearing Allan's words, Marnon didn't insist further and put the money away. "Allan, I'm entrusting Reed to you from now on."

Marnon changed the topic too quickly, and Allan almost couldn't keep up.

Before Allan could say anything, Marnon's voice sounded again. "But you also have to think it through. You have to take care of not only Reed but also her siblings."
