Not long after Luis escaped from the hospital, he got a call from the town, saying that Xenia and Sheila just left with a few people carrying some package-sized stuff.
Luis had just said it himself.
Since Steven isn't 18 years old yet, a bone marrow transplant requires a parent to sign for it.
So, Luis immediately figured out that Xenia had come to H City with that sneaky couple.
Luis hid in a filthy alley
and immediately called Xenia.
Xenia was worried about her son Steven's condition and was startled when she saw Luis's call coming in.
She glanced up and saw Sheila Harvey checking in and those who were escorting them to H City.
Luis, that jerk!
He's always been cunning and unscrupulous, with no bottom line.
Steven went to H City with Luis...
Even though Steven had repeatedly said that he was safe and nothing had happened,
Xenia still answered the call.
"Hey, I thought I'd have to call you like 10 or 20 times before you'd pick up!" Luis said, surprised.
"Luis, stop messing with my son and daughter!" Xenia gritted her teeth, "You heartless bastard, even selling your own flesh and blood to pay off gambling debts!"
By rights,
Luis should be cursing up a storm right now.
But he didn't.
He even chuckled on the other end of the phone.
"Why would I resort to gambling if it weren't for you?" Luis's voice trembled with emotion. "You were so ill, spending money recklessly. I wanted to win more, to use it for your treatment. I wanted to ensure that Steven, a bright and talented student, wouldn't end up like you, unable to attend college. It's such a waste!"
