It was late at evening. Ought to she simply fall asleep and ask for assist in the morning? However then she remembered the groceries contained in the fridge.

The following morning, the very first particular person Yuri noticed when she got here round within the hospital was Roy, who was purported to be in Philadelphia on a long-term enterprise journey.

“How are you feeling?”

However as a comfort, somebody who claimed to signify the proprietor of the residence had come to go to her, who was grieving over her misfortune. Seems, he got here to inform her that she wouldn’t have to fret about her medical bills as they might all be borne by the proprietor.

Actually, Yuri was grateful for the unbidden provide, however on the one hand, she couldn’t assist however really feel bewildered for the event. She puzzled what had gotten into the proprietor abruptly as he had by no means even bothered to restore the decrepit services of the residence for his monetary causes.
