Chapter 187

Felix’s collar buttons were loosened a few times, and he looked a little casual. He flicked the cigarette ash with his slender fingers, and put the money on the table into his pocket with a smile.

“I just got lucky,” he said.

“Luck’s got nothing to do with it, you’re a good–looking fella. If you’d chased after some rich chick earlier, you wouldn’t be here gambling for medicine money,” came a voice.”

“This should cover today’s expenses. I gotta go now, the hospital’s breathing down my neck for payment.”

“Felix, you’ve got yourself a rich girl, you’re still strapped for cash? Don’t rush off to the hospital, we’re in a bit of a pinch ourselves. The money you just won is peanuts compared to what you owe.”

“Bro, use this cash to buy yourself some smokes Put in a good word for me with the big guy, I’ll make good on my debts.”
