Ethan Smith struggled to show a faint smile and said, "Thank...you...for your compliments..."
"Ken Middleton asked me to convey his gratitude to you on his behalf." Forrest Middleton paused for a moment, then continued, "You saved his life; I owe you one."
Ethan waved his hand. He wanted to say something, but the intense pain had left him almost incapacitated.
Cold sweat soaked Ethan's body, his face pale, and he looked extremely weak.
Ethan was about to speak, but then his vision went dark, and he fell straight down.
When Ethan woke up again, it was already three days later.
That intense pain hadn't disappeared with his fainting; it seemed, as Forrest had said, that it was going to be with him for a long time.
There were people all around the bedside who had learned about Ethan's physical condition.
Seeing Ethan in such a difficult state, everyone felt a mix of emotions.
The first thing Ethan did when he woke up was to get up again.
