Flynn followed her in and took a look around the room. It was only about fifty square meters, and it was an old house with aged decorations inside. It was clear that they were living on a tight budget.
“Mrs. Wilcox, do you know us?” Flynn helped the old lady sit down on a chair and asked.
The old lady smiled and nodded. “Twenty years ago, I saved your mother’s life when you were only eight years old. I even bought clothes for you! How could I not recognize you?”
“You saved my mother’s life?! But I didn’t know!” Flynn was shocked and puzzled.
The old lady sighed, her gaze becoming distant. “That year, when I went to Ponocord Bay to collect herbs, I ran into your mother who had been injured.”
“On the occasion that someone was chasing after her, I relied on my familiarity with the terrain to take her to a low cave, and afterwards, I carried her back home through a small path to dress her wounds.”
“Your mother also suffered greatly. She had a ten-centimeter knife wound on her back, soaked through with blood. I wanted to take her to the hospital, but she adamantly refused. She clenched a piece of wood in her mouth and forcefully made me stitch her up with twenty-seven stitches!”
Upon hearing this, Flynn clenched his fists tightly, and the terrifying scene of Blood and Sand Mountain resurfaced in his mind.
“You said she was injured like that. She could have rested at my house for the night before leaving. Adrianna said there was still a child at home and couldn’t be abandoned. After saying that, she left and didn’t allow me to follow.”
“Your mother came to thank us a month later, and through repeated visits, we became like family.”
“Adrianna was afraid of us being implicated, so she only came at night to bring things and never brought you along.”
“If you didn’t know about all this, it means she protected you well and didn’t let you suffer from the vendetta against her.”
As Flynn listened to this, his eyes became moist.
He remembered.
When he was eight years old, his mother came back and spent a month bedridden. She would moan in pain for several nights.
On the third day, she even had a severe fever and had to take some anti-inflammatory medicine to get through it.
His mother said it was a stomach ailment, but it was actually a knife wound!
A knife wound stitched up with twenty-seven stitches!
“Mrs. Wilcox, thank you for saving my mother that time. I bow deeply to you here!” Flynn suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to the old lady.
This was his mother’s lifesaver, just like Matteo. He had to express his gratitude.
The old lady didn’t realize the value of this bow.
This was the King of the Underworld!
Even a little sprinkle of rain and dew would be enough to make the old lady prosperous!
“Child, please sit down! Actually, what your mother did for me was far more than what I did for her!”
“I only helped her hide from her enemies, but she saved the lives of my granddaughter and my husband!”
“If your mother hadn’t taken action to save them, my husband would have died of illness twenty-three years ago, and my granddaughter would have died seventeen years ago!”
Flynn nodded his head.
Matteo had mentioned that his mother had medical skills, so it made sense that she had saved Wild and their granddaughter.
“Mrs. Wilcox, if it weren’t for you helping my mother hide from her enemies, she might have died that day. You deserve my gratitude.”
“I want to ask, do you know anything about Mr. Wilcox’s murder?”
The old lady was about to answer when the door opened.
“Grandma, I’m back! Is dinner ready?”
A young girl walked in from outside, dressed in a limited edition Warren Tenney outfit. The clothes and accessories she wore must have cost around seventy to eighty thousand, and along with the necklace and rings, her entire ensemble exceeded a hundred thousand.
She didn’t fit into this humble household.
Flynn furrowed his brow.
“Who is this person?” Katie Wilcox looked at Flynn and shouted.
“Katie, do you still remember Adrianna who cured your illness? This is her son, Flynn!”
Flynn smiled and said, “Hello, I’m Flynn.”
Katie didn’t respond and gave Flynn a quick once-over.
She was passionate about luxury brands, and her first glance was always at the attire.
Flynn was wearing ordinary clothes from head to toe, without a watch, ring, earrings, or necklace. She immediately lost interest.
“Isn’t that the woman who occasionally brings some junk over to thank us? My grandmother saved your mother’s life first, and you don’t know to bring something when you come over to express gratitude?” Katie said irritably.
Flynn’s expression turned cold, and he said calmly, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know earlier that your Grandma saved my mother’s life.”
“It’s okay! It’s okay!” The old lady awkwardly waved her hand and turned to scold Katie, saying, “What nonsense are you saying? Didn’t Adrianna also save your life?”
“We should be grateful to her!”
Katie pouted and said, “Each owes what they owe. His mother saved my life, so I should thank his mother.”
“You saved his mother’s life, so he should thank you. Shouldn’t he buy something or leave some money?”
After speaking, she turned to Flynn and asked, “Isn’t what I said correct?”
Flynn smiled at the old lady and said, “Mrs. Wilcox, what she said is indeed correct. Regardless of anything else, it is a fact that you saved my mother’s life. I will definitely repay you a thousandfold, ten thousandfold.”
However, Katie waved her hand disdainfully and said, “Oh, please! With you like this, you can’t even afford one of my bags. What kind of thousandfold, ten thousandfold repayment can you give? Just empty words!”
“Katie! What nonsense are you talking? Shut up!” the old lady angrily shouted.
But Katie ignored her and sneered, “Exactly! If he is sincere, he should take out tens of thousands right now instead of just saying it!”
“Well then, I have my eye on an LV bag worth 4, 000 dollar. Buy it and deliver it here later!”
The old lady immediately scolded, “Didn’t you just buy a bag for over 5, 000 last week? Why do you need another one? Don’t you know our family’s situation?”
Flynn saw that the old lady was getting angry, so he quickly intervened with a smile and said, “Mrs. Wilcox, your health is important. If she wants it, I will buy it tomorrow!”
“Buy it tomorrow?” Katie sneered, “Just trying to appease! I’m afraid you won’t come back after leaving!”
“Look at your poor appearance, you might not even have a few hundred dollars! Grandma, what’s the use of saving poor ghosts?”
“Not visiting for over ten years, and when you finally come, you don’t bring anything!”
The old lady trembled with anger and scolded, “Katie, you’ve gone too far. How can I have a granddaughter like you?”
“If you had one-tenth of Journey’s sincerity, I would be willing to die right now!”
Katie stubbornly said, “What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong? You risked being wiped out to save his mother back then.”
“He hasn’t come once in so many years, and when he finally comes, he doesn’t bring anything. That’s what’s excessive!”
The old lady shook her head in anger, unable to discipline Katie any further, and could only apologize to Flynn, saying, “I’m old and can’t handle it anymore! I’m sorry for embarrassing you.”
“It’s okay.” Flynn smiled and waved his hand.
Just as he was about to ask about his mother, Katie’s phone rang, and her face changed dramatically. She quickly went to the side to answer the call.
Flynn noticed her panic and believed that something big must have happened.
“Crow, please give me a little more time. I will gather the money and pay you back. Please don’t come to my house….”
Flynn had amazing hearing and heard everything clearly.
So Katie had borrowed money from a loan shark!
That explained her extravagant spending.
Katie hung up the phone and rushed back in a hurry.
“Grandma, didn’t Journey give you 20, 000 dollars a few days ago?”
“Give me the card! It’s urgent!”
She reached out her hand.
The old lady became wary and said, “What do you want to do? This is the money your cousin gave me for medical treatment. It can’t be touched!”
Katie rolled her eyes and said displeased, “Why are you so stingy? Of course, I have uses for it!”
“Now package yourself up and wait until one day you get involved with a wealthy second generation. You’ll be able to take out not just 20, 000, but even 2 million!”
“Just hold on a little longer with your illness, you’ll be fine!”
