Chapter 122: Reborn_1
After all, it was Greg Jensen's enemy. Even if Greg Jensen hadn't shown him this favor, he wouldn't have had much to say.
"Alright, let's leave it at that for now, and we'll have a drink together after I get discharged."
"Of course, big bro."
Greg Jensen smiled, got out of bed to wash up, and after getting ready, he went to the dining room.
Lois Abbott's cooking skills were just average, at best rudimentary, not bad but nothing special.
Nevertheless, Greg Jensen still found it delicious.
"Eat slower."
Lois Abbott leaned on her arm, watching him with a smiling gaze full of love.
The first time the two of them were together, she hadn't thought much of Greg Jensen, considering him just a simple country bumpkin.
But over time, she found that Greg Jensen was becoming more and more outstanding, not only a keen businessman but also capable of treating illnesses, and his martial arts skills were quite formidable.
Being with him, he could give Lois Abbott an unmatched sense of security.
The only downside was that his needs in that department were too strong, which made her feel a bit insecure.
She understood that she alone couldn't tie Greg Jensen down. Rather than letting others benefit, she preferred to keep him for her sister.
After all, it seemed like her sister, Snow, also liked him quite a bit.
As Lois Abbott thought this, she turned to look at Snow next to her, but saw that although the young girl was earnestly eating her food, her gaze kept drifting toward Greg Jensen from time to time.
Her pretty little face was flushed, and it was uncertain what she was thinking about.
"Snow, you should eat more too, you're growing."
"Thank you, Sister."
Snow thanked her obediently, then felt something was off, looked up and discovered her sister was looking at her with a teasing smile.
Following her sister's glance, Snow looked down, and her face fell. Pouting, she protested indignantly, "Sis, you're so mean!"
Lois Abbott feigned surprise, "Ha ha, how am I mean?"
Greg Jensen also looked up, puzzled, not understanding what the sisters were talking about.
"It's nothing!"
Snow glanced at Greg Jensen, then at her sister, and with a face full of grievance, muttered something, then lowered her head to continue eating.
"Ha ha ha..."
Lois Abbott couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Although he didn't understand what they were saying, seeing Snow's adorable expression, a smile spread across Greg Jensen's face as well.
Snow became even angrier at the sight, seeming to take the steamed bun in her hand for her sister Lois Abbott. She kneaded it fiercely while muttering, "Stinky sister, and that stinky brother-in-law, meanie!"
"Ha ha..."
Her endearingly clumsy behavior once again caused the two of them to burst out laughing.
"My Wrangler has been taken to the repair shop, so I'll be driving the Crown today to take your brother-in-law back. If you go out, just take a taxi."
"Alright."
Snow reluctantly looked at Greg Jensen and asked, "Brother-in-law, when will you come back?"
"Maybe in a few days. I need to check on the medicinal fields and vegetable fields in the village."
"Alright then." Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Snow pouted unhappily, "You have to miss me, okay?"
"Uh, sure."
Greg Jensen blushed and was the first to leave the room.
Lois Abbott chuckled and winked at her sister before following him out.
"Brother, you have to miss me."
Snow called out from the hallway, her face breaking into a happy smile at the thought of Greg Jensen's flustered reaction.
"Brother must like me too."
...
Greg Jensen had made up his mind. This time when he returned, he would use the pretext of a medical consultation to tell Lindsey Wolfe that his illness was already cured.
He was just feeling a bit apprehensive in his heart, afraid that Lindsey Wolfe would see through him, so after getting in the car he fell silent.
Lois Abbott glanced at him and asked, "Are you really going to come clean to Freya York?"
"Yep."
Greg Jensen nodded. If he didn't come clean, there would be many things he wouldn't be able to let go of and handle properly. If something happened in the future, he would deeply regret it.
Knowing he was feeling uneasy, Lois Abbott didn't say anything more.
Greg Jensen drove to the edge of town and then brought the car to a stop before pushing the door open and getting out.
Lois Abbott also got out, ready to take the driver's seat.
Just as she was about to get in the car, she suddenly thought of something and asked with a mischievous smile, "Hey, Greg Jensen, if I call your auntie 'sister,' what should you call me?"
Greg Jensen's face immediately darkened.
I'm seriously annoyed, and you're bringing this up?
Without a second thought, he slapped her on the back.
"Ouch, that hurts!"
Lois Abbott rubbed her back a couple times, gave Greg Jensen a resentful look, then got into the driver's seat and yelled at him:
"You jerk, you're so heartless, I'm cutting ties with you."
Greg Jensen teased, "You mean disowning each other as father and daughter?"
Lois Abbott was so angry that she was about to get out of the car and fight him, but Greg Jensen had already walked away laughing, leaving her to only shout at his retreating figure:
"If you dare, don't run away!"
Without turning back, Greg Jensen waved and continued to walk into town.
After Lois Abbott's distraction, his mood improved quite a bit, and his steps became much lighter.
...
The arrest of Kenny Walker was still fermenting, and what seemed like just one person being caught set off a storm in Riverhaven County.
His businesses were sealed or losing money, but in others' eyes, they were still juicy targets.
The wealthy of Riverhaven County began to stir, all contemplating how to take over Kenny Walker's industries.
As for whether Kenny Walker could come out of it, they weren't worried at all.
In the abandoned warehouse, he had been crippled by Greg Jensen; how could he pose a threat even if he did come out?
A cripple, still wanting to throw his weight around in Riverhaven County?
It was a joke.
Compared to Riverhaven County, Duo Phoenix Town, which was relatively isolated from news, was calm and peaceful.
For some reason, ever since Big Boss Liu was injured, the townsfolk seemed to feel closer to him.
Walking down the street, everyone greeted him with a cheerful hello.
When fruit vendors saw him, they would offer their fruits for him to taste.
Big Boss Liu suddenly realized that although people had given him fruit to eat before, it felt completely different now.
The former was out of fear, while the latter was more a feeling of fellowship.
The sensation of being respected made Big Boss Liu feel a wholehearted delight, as if he had been reborn and refreshed from the inside out.
"Looks like I've turned misfortune into a blessing!"
Standing at the entrance of Peach Blossom Vegetable Shop, Big Boss Liu sincerely exclaimed, and when he looked up, he saw a familiar figure stepping down from a car.
Seeing this person, he became excited because the figure stepping down from the car was Greg Jensen.
Living in Duo Phoenix Town, he had much more access to information than the average townsperson; he had heard about what happened to Kenny Walker.
When he heard that the person who had dealt with Kenny Walker was called Mr. Greg, the first person he thought of was Greg Jensen.
Initially, his submission to Greg Jensen had been out of necessity. Back then, Greg Jensen was just a famously foolish boy in the area, cunning at most.
But now, he was utterly convinced.
If even a street boss like Kenny Walker had been handled by Greg Jensen, what objections could he have, being just a loafer in town?
What's more, following Greg Jensen meant there was food to eat.
Let's not talk about anything else, just the vast fields of medicinal herbs alone could make him a fortune.
Then, remembering that his injuries had been caused by Kenny Walker's men, he suddenly had a bold idea.
