Claimed by My First Love’s Brother Novel

Chapter 22 Extra Burden Just as I was puzzled , I faintly heard a female's voice coming from the other end of the phone , which sounded like a nurse . I frowned slightly , asking , " Quin , what's wrong ? Where are you ? " Quentin laughed and said casually , " Well , where do you think I am ? Company , of course . I'm working . " " No. Are you in the hospital ? " I guessed so because I heard something like " dressing change " . " No. I'm fine . Why do you think I'm in a hospital ?

Well , anyway , I gotta go . Bye . " With that , Quentin hung up the phone in a hurry . Obviously , he was lying . But he refused to tell me what was going on no matter how I asked him . Worried and anxious , I asked a lot of people and then finally learned that in order to get money , Quentin went to work as a stunt double in a martial arts drama . Last night , he even performed an extremely dangerous scene for an actor .

But because something went wrong with that wire , he fell from the air and injured his legs . When I rushed to the hospital , Quentin was leaning against the head of the bed , calling someone to borrow money . He appeared so humble right now , which was totally different from his previous carefree look . Page 22 Extra Banten I stood at the door , feeling like crying . 11 His legs were still covered in thick plaster , making it impossible for him . to even get out of bed .

He claimed that he could help pay off Dad's gambling debts , but that was just him comforting himself . Quentin was always like this , handling everything all by himself and never making me worried . In the past , a lot of people said that he always goofed off all day . But in my heart , he was the best brother in the world . " Quin … " I called out in a sobbing tone and walked in with tears .

When Quentin saw me , a trace of panic flashed across his face , and he quickly covered his injured legs with the blanket . With a bit of surprise , he chuckled and asked me , " Ralda , how did you find I was here ? " Seeing him being like this , I felt even sadder in my heart . He used to be a carefree and proud young man , always the center of everyone's attention . But now , he had ended up in such destitution . I sobbed , " You don't have to risk your life to get money .

" But Quentin took my hand and grinned , " I'm fine , all right ? " " Fine ? You broke your legs ! " I looked at him with both anger and worry . " This time , you hurt your legs . What about next … No ! There is no next time ! " Brupter 22 Latta Burden I quickly changed my words , feeling very anxious and afraid that my unlucky words would come true . I advised Quentin anxiously , " Don't be a stunt double anymore . I'll think of a way to pay off the remaining gambling debts .

" But Quentin asked me with a hint of sadness in his tone , " What way could you think of ? Go to Reynaldo for money ? " I didn't say anything . Quentin touched my long hair and sighed in a low voice , " I didn't ask too much about the current situation between you and Reynaldo . But I know he's not good to you . " If you ask him for money , you'll definitely be humiliated , and I don't want that to happen . " I immediately retorted , " But you even risked your life to get money .

Why can't I go to him for help ? It's really nothing to me ! " Looking at Quentin's haggard appearance , I felt so worried and sad . Compared to the sacrifices he had made , the humiliation I might suffer was really nothing . However , Quentin hurriedly grabbed my hand and said , " Ralda , don't feel too burdened . I'll find a way to gather money . Just leave it to me . " " But this is the second day . After tomorrow , the people from the casino will come to collect the debt .

Where else can you go to get money ? You know , we're in dire straits now , and no one will be willing to lend us money . " " Ralda … " " Don't worry , Quin . Just leave it to me . You should take a good rest and more money and let all of us live a good life ! What did I do wrong ? " " But have you ever won ? Even once ? " I cried out of anger . " And stop using those lame excuses ! You just wanna gamble ! You just wanna feed your addiction to gambling ! " ' Alright , enough !

I didn't wanna lose , but I lost . You should go and ask Reynaldo for money . 3 million dollars at least . " " No ! " I growled to refuse . Dad got anxious and snapped , " Why not ? They'll come to collect debt in two days . You want them to cut off my hands and legs ? Go today , and ask Reynaldo for money ! " " I said no ! " I roared . " Reynaldo doesn't owe us anything ! Why do you think he will give us money ? " " Because he's my son - in- " I interrupted , growling , " Stop it !

He's not your son - in - law anymore ! He owes us nothing ! I lost the money in gambling , so you will take care of your debt ! That's it ! " With that , I angrily hung up the phone . Then , I sat on the flower bed beside me , so angry that I cried . Originally , Quentin had already gathered 510 thousand dollars .

But how could I gather over 1.3 million dollars in a day ? I opened the dialogue box with Reynaldo .

If being humiliated in front of Reynaldo could help my family , I would do it . After taking a deep breath , I sent Reynaldo a text . " Hello ? Will you come back tonight ? " I waited for a while , but he didn't reply . Maybe he was busy and didn't see my message . Or maybe he saw it , but he just didn't wanna reply to me . Sure enough , as I wanted to borrow money from him , I should go to him and ask for help face - to - face . That would be more sincere .

But he was so pissed off last night . And from his appearance this morning , I could tell that he was still a bit angry . Maybe he wouldn't come back in the next few days . However , I only had one day . So , I put away my phone and decided to go to Reynaldo's company to look for him . I do so awes But as soon as I stood up , a wave of dizziness struck me .
