Chapter 1246: Chapter 1240: Extra Saving People 1_1 Chapter 1246: Chapter 1240: Extra Saving People 1_1 “Is that you, Jade?” As Finn Lewis followed Grace Harvey into the yard, a weak and feeble voice ca from inside the house.
“Mom, it’s , I’ve brought you so food.” Grace spoke happily, still holding the food Finn had purchased from the restaurant in her hands.
Standing at the doorway, Finn saw two broken door panels, guessing that the door of the room couldn’t close anymore.
He didn’t follow Grace inside, as there was only one woman in there, and won of this era seed quite conservative.
Should their reputation be tarnished, they were prone to commit suicide at the drop of a hat.
Finn did not want to be responsible for a loss of life because of his actions.
“Where did you get all this food from?!
...
Who gave it to you?!
Speak up!” The weak voice inside suddenly beca harsh.
“Mom, it’s…
it’s from an uncle, an uncle gave it to us, please don’t be angry, don’t be angry,” Grace said sowhat frightfully.
“Uncle?
Which uncle?”
“He’s right outside.”
“What?!” The feeble voice was clearly startled, followed by a thud.
Then ca Grace’s alard cry, “Mom, mom, are you all right?!”
Hearing Grace’s cry, Finn was shocked and imdiately strode into the room.
As soon as he entered, he was greeted by a strong, sour stench, as if sothing had been rotting for a long ti.
Using the light coming through the window, in the dim room, Finn saw a woman collapse from a dilapidated wooden bed.
The blankets appeared to be almost moldy.
Grace was trying hard to help the woman up from the ground.
Finn quickly walked over and helped the woman, who was wearing only a close-fitting undergarnt, and asked anxiously, “Are you okay?”
“You…
ɴοѵǤᴑ.сο
who are you…
get out…
get out now.” The woman paused, then instinctively tugged at her undergarnt.
Finn noticed that her garnt must have been worn for a very long ti, the white fabric patched many tis over, full of holes and tears.
The rotten, foul sll wafted from the woman.
Finn frowned but did not let go, instead saying directly, “You’re so sick, if I leave, how could Jade lift you?”
While speaking, Finn helped her back onto the bed, then said without waiting for the woman to respond, “I’ll step out.” It was not that Finn was being overly sensitive, but the sll in the room was just too unbearable.
If he stayed any longer, he feared he would vomit on the spot.
It was his body’s reaction, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Once outside, he took a deep breath.
Finn heard the woman asking Grace who he was.
Grace, though sensible, was still a five or six-year-old girl, and children of this ti were uneducated and knew little.
She managed to explain Finn’s origins approximately, but the long series of events that happened in between was beyond her ability to recount, simply skipping over the part where Finn scared away the bad guys.
However, this was for the best, sparing Finn the need to explain.
He took a few steps away and softly asked, “Zero, can you scan her body’s condition?
I’ll pay with points.”
“50 points have been deducted.
The condition is severe anemia caused by long-term malnutrition, in addition to pneumonia and cold exposure.
Based on the current situation, her lifespan will not exceed two months,” Zero’s voice was as crisp as always, but it brought so relief to Finn.
Thankfully, it wasn’t a fatal disease, and there was still ti for treatnt.
Having already dealt with Zoe, Finn did not want to go through it again; that feeling was too horrible.
