Chapter 484 You help me with my bath!
At the entrance of the bar.
A group of burly men dressed in black stood around, their eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings!
It seemed that any disturbance would prompt them to rush in and resolve it immediately!
Occasionally, passersby couldn't help but glance inside!
They were curious if something had happened inside?
After a while, a large group of people came out in a grand manner!
Leading the group was Ryder, with Adam by his side!
Ryder spoke to Adam seriously, "Your mom's health can't wait. Get her to the Cleveland Clinic in Houston ASAP. They've got top-notch docs who can handle her kidney transplant. Don't sweat the bills—I've got it covered!"
Adam, feeling embarrassed, said, "Ryder, you've already done so much for me. I'm kinda feeling like a mooch."
Ryder clapped him on the shoulder, "Come on, man, that's what friends are for. Quit being so stiff, or we're gonna have a problem."
Adam felt his eyes well up with tears, his heart full of gratitude!
These days, in society, so-called classmates are often just for mutual benefit. They only think of you when they need something, and otherwise, they don't want to be disturbed. It's all too common!
Especially when Aria needed money for surgery, he had asked many classmates for a loan!
But they all turned him down with various excuses!
That's why he was so moved by Ryder's actions!
Of course, he also believed that even if Ryder hadn't made so much money, he would still try his best to help in times of trouble!
Adam suddenly thought of something and asked, "Ryder, do you remember Tim? Our class president from middle school!"
Ryder nodded. "Yeah, what about him?"
No way he'd forget Tim—they'd crossed paths a bunch back in Houston.
Plus, Tim still owed him close to a mil from that poker game at Mark's underground spot. Dude hadn't coughed up a dime yet.
He had been too busy dealing with the Johnson family and Tyler to pay attention to him!
It seemed Tim had recently disappeared!
Adam replied, "A week back, he rolled into Jakarda, saying he was in a bind and needed to borrow some cash."
"No kidding? What'd you do?"
"With my mom's surgery on the line, I was tapped out. When I told him I couldn't swing it, he just asked me to front him a bus ticket to New York. He bounced that same night."
"I see!" Ryder squinted slightly, thinking it was quite a coincidence.
In a few days, he would be heading to New York City for business, and he might run into Tim again!
Adam sighed, "I heard he was killing it right out of college. What the hell happened?"
Ryder just smirked, "Forget that for now. Let's grab a drink and chill."
"You're on!" Adam grinned, "I'm taking you down tonight, no mercy!"
Ryder then let Adam lead the way, and along with Lily, George, and Rex, the five of them went to the most famous barbecue restaurant in Jakarda City!
This scene was witnessed by many business tycoons in Jakarda City, including Hubert!
They were very envious of Adam!
After all, having a meal with Ryder was a rare opportunity!
Unfortunately, they didn't even have the chance to say a few more words to him!
But they did learn one crucial piece of information!
Adam was Ryder's classmate and good friend!
In the future, Adam would become the new general manager of this bar, and those also developing in Jakarda City would naturally try their best to curry favor with him!
Mia was personally sent by George to the most luxurious hotel in Jakarda City to rest, and she would return to Houston with Lily the next day.
As for Lily's other relatives? They were ghosted from the jump.
Left stranded on the street outside the bar, they got nothing but icy stares and cold shoulders, stewing in their own regret.
The next day!
Around noon!
Ryder groggily opened his eyes, feeling a bit of a headache!
He picked up a glass of cold water from the bedside table and gulped it down!
He finally felt a bit more awake!
"It's been a long time since I drank so much!"
Ryder exhaled and couldn't help but smile wryly!
Last night, he had a great time eating barbecue with Adam and the others, drinking a lot of alcohol until past three in the morning!
Later, in a daze, he was sent back to the Platan Height villa in Houston!
He glanced at the time!
It was already noon!
At this time, Sarah should already be at work!
He stretched lazily.
Ryder looked at the pajamas he was wearing, feeling a bit puzzled. Who had changed his clothes after he came back in a daze last night?
Could it have been Sarah?
Thinking of this, he felt a bit excited!
He was about to take off his pajamas and take a shower!
The master bathroom was right there in the bedroom, but Sarah usually hogged it. Ryder was stuck using the one down the hall.
But since Sarah was already at work, he figured, why not? They were married, after all. They shared a bed—sharing a bathroom wasn't a big deal.
Hell, if things kept going the way they were, he'd probably be sharing that shower with her soon enough!
Just thinking about it excited him!
But just as Ryder dropped his pajamas, bam—the bedroom door swung open!
Someone charged in!
"What the hell?!" Ryder nearly jumped out of his skin, thinking it was some random intruder.
Turns out, it was just Sarah!
Sarah, dressed in her uniform, was stunned for a few seconds when she saw Ryder completely naked!
Then she immediately covered her eyes, turned her head, and said angrily, "Ryder! It's broad daylight, and you're not wearing any clothes."
Ryder sighed, scooping up his PJs off the floor. "It's the bedroom, Sarah. People get undressed to shower. Besides, who knew you'd barge in like that?"
Sarah's face turned red, "But that's not okay. I told you before, in our bedroom, you can't be naked. You must wear clothes!"
Ryder shamelessly asked with a smile, "Then who changed me into pajamas last night?"
Sarah was stunned by the question.
Her cheeks started to turn red, and even her ears followed suit!
Ryder had been brought back in the middle of the night!
At first, Sarah was very angry that he came home so late, but seeing him so pitifully unconscious, her anger dissipated!
Initially, Rex was going to change Ryder's clothes!
But Sarah didn't know what she was thinking at the time and told Rex to rest, saying she would take care of Ryder!
After that, not only did she change his clothes, but she also wiped him down with a hot towel!
To be honest, she felt both shy and nervous while doing all this!
She was very anxious!
She was afraid Ryder would suddenly wake up!
Fortunately, he slept very soundly!
Just as Sarah was feeling embarrassed, she suddenly felt a tightness in her back!
She was hugged from behind by Ryder!
Ryder softly asked, "Honey, how about you help me with my bath later?"
