Chapter 3061
Anne froze upon hearing John's idea.
A second later, she sighed and nodded.
"Alright. I'll be off now." John sighed as he took the empty cup from her. "I know that neither of us would even blink
an eye for ten thousand dollars in the past, but..."
Things have changed.
10000 dollars was more than enough to cover their household expenses for three months and temporarily relieve
their financial burden. He wanted to do everything he could to get his hands on the money.
The look Anne cast at him was full of helplessness and remorse.

she was trying to tell him that she would support him no matter what.
Although Anne could no longer speak, they were soulmates and could understand each other with just one glance.
Therefore, John understood exactly what she was trying to convey to him.
He nodded before finally walking out of the room and closing the door gently behind him. Then, he tiptoed to the
kitchen to put down Anne's cup before leaving the house.
He lit a cigarette as he strode down the stairwell and texted the real estate agent. [How much for a pair of keys to
the apartment across?]
He knew that there was no such thing as free lunch; the real estate agent would never give out such benefits free
of charge.
To his surprise, the real estate agent replied with a smiling emoji. [You're Robyn's brother, aren't you?]
John paused momentarily, then replied, (Yes, I am.]
[Alright then. It's okay, it's free for you! Come to the first- floor lobby to get the keys. I'm close with Robyn, and I
know the troubles you guys are facing. Just think of this as my way of helping you guys.]
John's heart tingled with relief. He sprinted down to the first floor, where the real estate agent was waiting.
"Here. This is the key to unit number 501, block 12. From what I heard, those men haven't gone there yet."
John nodded and thanked the real estate agent, then walked out of the building.
He wrapped his coat around himself and followed the rest of the tenants who were trying to sneak into the building
across.
As they trudged along the path, one of the neighbors shot John a disdainful look. "You're wearing a suit, for God's

John smiled and glanced back at the man who said this." I'm willing to do anything for my family."
With that, he handed the man a cigarette and asked sharply, "Aren't you doing the same?"
The man was rendered speechless by John's reply. A split second later, he took the cigarette from John and gave
him a thumbs-up in admiration. "You're a brave man. I salute you. n
John smiled before turning and leaping over the fence that separated the two buildings. "I appreciate your
compliment, but all I'm trying to do is care for my family."
His only wish was to see Anne, Sammie, and Robyn live healthy and happy lives.
"And I'm certain you will achieve that!" the man grinned.
John did not reply and instead headed straight to block 12.
When he finally found unit 501 and opened the door with his key, however, he realized this was not a vacant unit as
the real estate agent promised.
As soon as he entered the door, he felt the cold barrel of a gun against his forehead. "Who the hell are you?"
