Chapter 294 Returning to River City

I couldn't comfort Alexander in any way. After all, the people buried a hundred meters below were not my parents. Even if I felt sorry, I couldn't truly empathize. So, looking at him, I asked, "What are you planning to do next?"

If he was determined to find his parents' remains, all I could do was help him.

He paused slightly and said, "Let them continue to lie there. Even if they are found now, I'm afraid it's impossible to distinguish who is who. It's enough that I know where they are."

Yes, it's been ten years already. So many people died there back then. Even if they were found now, with so many people, how could we distinguish who is who?

About this, I no longer spoke.

After the conversation, Marjorie and Alexander left first. I looked at my mother and said, "Mom, will you accompany me to the operating room?"

My mother realized that I was going to see Daniel and hesitated, saying, "You just woke up, the doctor hasn't said whether you can move or not!"

I smiled faintly, got out of bed, and said, "I'm fine now. Didn't the -doctor just come to check on me? He said I'm fine."

Knowing she couldn't persuade me, she could only sigh slightly and accompany me to the operating room. However, as soon as we arrived, we noticed that the lights in the operating room were off, clearly

indicating that no one was inside.

Upon seeing this, I asked the duty nurse and found out that Daniel had just been transferred. He had an old injury in his leg, and after

dragging me around in the mountains for two days and a night, and carrying me for such a long distance, his condition had worsened. Dracview, after all, is a county-level city and couldn't treat his injury, so he was directly transferred to River City.

After hearing the nurse's words, I became increasingly worried. I hurried back to the ward with my mother, packed up our things, and prepared to rush back to River City.

My mother looked at me, wanting to say something but hesitated. I knew she was worried about me just waking up, afraid that my body couldn't handle it. Looking at her, I said, "Mom, I'm really okay now. Let's go back to River City. If anything happens, it can be properly handled in River City. Besides, we can take care of each other there. Call Alexander and tell him we're going back to River City."

Left with no choice, Mother had to agree and then left the ward to handle the discharge procedures.

There wasn't much to begin with, I changed my clothes, habitually made the sickbed, and while folding the quilt, the door to the ward was pushed open. I thought it was my mother who had finished and came back, I didn't look back, just said, "Mom, have you called Alexander? Oh right, I don't have a phone, give me yours, I'll book-the train tickets later. I'll book the nearest train, we should be able to catch up with Mr. Monroe, and we can go straight to the hospital."

Speaking of this, I suddenly thought of Sebastian, slightly paused my actions, turned around and said, "By the way, you asked the local police for help..."

Seeing the tall figure standing at the door, I stopped mid-sentence,

hesitated for a few seconds, and looked at the man at the door with a not-so-good complexion, asking, "Do you...need something?"

These words, I said with some guilt. After all, he was the one who helped bring me back. From the moment I woke up until now, I hadn't even said a thank you to him. Now that I was about to leave, I hadn't planned to inform him. Now that someone came to see me, I still asked them like this. If I put myself in his shoes, my actions were too hurtful.

Thinking of this, I looked at Walter, feeling somewhat apologetic in my heart, and said, "My mom said it was you who brought me back, and it was also you who went into the mountains to bring them back. Thank you."

I really didn't have any merits as a person, even saying thank you seemed so stiff and impolite. Thinking so, I became more and more upset. But those words like "feel free to ask me for help in the future", I could never say them. It's not that I was afraid he would really ask me for help in the future, but I knew better than anyone that Walter would never need anything from me. Moreover, saying such words would clearly turn his so-called help into a transaction of favors. I knew he was genuinely worried about me, but if I said those hurtful words at this time, it would hurt him to some extent.

At that time, I couldn't bring myself to say those words to hurt him. I held a grudge against him, but I wasn't the type to seize every opportunity to stab him in the heart. I wasn't that malicious.

Walter's dark eyes swept around the ward, landing on me. His expression was cold as he asked, "Leaving?"
