Chapter 931 The Past Of Slough


    The downstairs of the hospital was frantically doing the best they could to deal with those that continued to come to the city. Not only were they healing the injured, but they were also trying to take care of those that needed a little more.


    Supplies for food and water, the basics for those that might have lost their homes for the time being. Members of Ben’s local team were going around taking surveys trying to get a gauge on a number of things.


    In the middle of their struggle though, several vehicles started to arrive. As they opened up, medical teams, as well as more supplies, were seen on the inside.


    Help from Notsburg and from AJ Entertainment had arrived as well as various other places. Places that hadn’t been so affected by the Phoenix Gang''s attacks. They were unable to get to Slough before due to their own little problems, and fear of an attack as well as the blockades that had been set up in and out of Slough.


    As for in the hospital itself, at the very top floor where VIP members would receive the top treatment in the largest of rooms, Gary had been led to one room in particular, and as the door opened his eyes had met a person he had been longing to look eye to eye with for a while now.


    “Mom...” Gary called out.


    Slowly, he placed one foot in front of the other. Before he knew it, his vision was getting blurry. He lifted his hand out, trying to reach his mother, until he finally stood by her bedside and stroked her face as she sat up right.


    “It’s real... this is real... it’s not a dream.”


    “Of course, it’s not a dream,” Maya replied. “It’s real... I’m sorry Gary, I’m sorry I left the family to you. You really did take everything upon yourself. I can’t believe my stupid boy who dyed his hair green, grew up to build all of this and protect the entire city.”


    Gary didn’t know what to say, he just held his mother''s hand, and for a moment, he placed his head into her chest.


    “The person, that did all of this, Xin and Austin was fighting against him, he seems to be a member of the Phoenix gang, and he is in the hospital room... next to us. Your friend Austin is keeping an eye on him. I asked them to take him in, because I... wanted to talk to him, to find out why he did what he did.” Maya asked.


    Gary could feel his heart beating in his chest, it was humbling loud and adrenaline was running through his body. The person was right next door, that had caused so much trouble. He could easily break the wall between them and snap the person''s neck immediately.


    However, just like Maya, Gary was also curious.


    “Can I speak to him first, and then when I know everything is okay, and if things are safe, you can speak to him?” Gary asked.


    Maya nodded.


    “You deserve it, you have been dealing with everything else so far, so you can continue to deal with things now.”


    Gary stood up from his seat to head next door with Kai, but before he left he had one more thing to say.


    “It isn’t just me mom, it’s because I had great people around me to help.” Gary said with a smile.


    After leaving the room, Gary’s smile disappeared and he wasted no time sliding the door next to him. He could immediately see Austin but his eyes then lingered to the man that was strapped down, and immediately Gary’s mouth was left wide open.


    “Gil...”
