Arthur stood there, baffled. 'Mr. Marshall really does seem like someone who helps without expecting anything in return. What a remarkable guy,' he muttered to himself.
Feeling grateful, Arthur hurried toward Block 6. Wesley and Claire were already waiting at the entrance, and they rushed forward as soon as they saw him.
Wiping away tears, Claire clutched Arthur's arm, anxiously checking him over for injuries. Meanwhile, Wesley patted Arthur on the shoulder and asked how everything had turned out.
As the family reunited, a shadowy figure lay flat in the shadows of a derelict building across from Block 6. Through a grimy window, he quietly aimed his long-focus camera at them, capturing their every move without making a sound.
After Wesley and his family went upstairs, the man quietly made his way to the top floor of the abandoned building. He slipped into a shabby room that overlooked the Donovan family's apartment. Despite the grime, mold, and bugs crawling around, he kept his camera trained on their home, waiting for the right moment.
The Donovan family was gathered around the dinner table, and their conversation was lively as they talked about Athena's progress.
Arthur's face lit up as he listened to the updates about Athena. "We should rent Mr. Wells' place next door. After some renovations, Athena, Maria, and Josie could move in there. It'd be way better for them."
Their current apartment had only two bedrooms, which meant cramming everyone into bunk beds and making do with separate sleeping arrangements for different genders.
Sometimes, two people had to share a bed, and any extra guests ended up on the sofa or a folding bed. They couldn't let Athena keep living in such cramped conditions.
Wesley mulled over Arthur's suggestion, then nodded. "Alright. Talk to Leon tomorrow about renting his place and fixing it up."
Most of the community's residents had moved away, leaving many buildings abandoned.
Only seven or eight were still fit to live in. The house across from theirs, where Leon Wells and his family had once lived, had been empty for years and was a bit rundown.
Maria's eyes sparkled at the thought of having her own room. For a girl her age, it was like a dream come true.
Josie's face lit up with excitement. She grinned and said, "Yay! I want a new room too!"
Claire smiled and patted Josie's head. "Of course, my sweet Josie will have a new room."
The family's conversation was warm and happy, reflecting the simple joys of their everyday life.
Meanwhile, Athena had finished reviewing Lucy's medical records in the VIP ward. As her stomach growled, she put the records back in her bag, grabbed a food container from the sofa, and popped it into the microwave.
But when she opened the last box, her eyes went wide with surprise. Inside was a stack of cash, easily over two thousand dollars.
'Did Mom and Dad secretly slip this in?' Athena wondered, a wave of warmth washing over her.
While this amount might have been pocket change for her in the past, it was a significant sum for the Donovans.
Athena accepted their thoughtful gesture, carefully tucking the money into her bag. Just then, she noticed a message on her phone. It was from Ryan, containing the info he had gathered on Bard Property.
'Perfect timing,' Athena thought, a satisfied smile spreading across her face.
