Reborn to my engagement night by Baxter Walters

Chapter 94 Deeply Indebted

Seeing the thugs flee in a panic, Fiona and Jillian finally breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Madelyn, thank you so much. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have known what to do,” Fiona said, tears of gratitude in her eyes.

Madelyn shook her head nonchalantly. “As long as you’re both okay. That’s all that matters.”

At that moment, Jillian turned to her mother. “Mom, hurry and get the first–aid kit. Madelyn got hurt just now. I need to treat her wound.”

Fiona nodded and quickly went to fetch the first–aid kit.

Seeing Madelyn’s arm already swollen and red, Jillian felt guilty.

“I’m so sorry, Madelyn. You shouldn’t have gotten involved, and now you’re hurt because of us.”

Madelyn shook her head and smiled. “Jillian, don’t worry about it. I’m fine.”

Fiona returned with the first–aid kit, and Jillian took out some ointment.

“Madelyn, this might sting a bit when I apply it. Please bear with it,” she said.

Madelyn nodded and let her apply the ointment.

Meanwhile, she took the opportunity to look around Jillian’s home.

The house had only a few cabinets and a dining table with chairs–nothing else.

The conditions were so sparse that it was barely a home.

Madelyn couldn’t help but ask, “How often do those thugs come around?”

Jillian sighed, a hint of helplessness in her voice. “At first, they came once a month. Now they show up twice

Still, they hesitated.
