Upon hearing that, Evelyn immediately said, “Don’t worry, honey. I’ll start contacting people and get this stock sold. I got it at 160 a box… I–I’ll sell it at 180!”

Only then did Nathan nod.

That was the only way they might still make a small profit.

But what Nathan didn’t know was that Eliza had already completely cut off their escape route.

Eliza had used the network she’d built over the past month to drive the price of the medicine down to 160.

No other seller could beat that price, so all the customers flocked to her.

On Eliza’s end, she was counting money until her hands went numb. After roughly estimating, between Evelyn’s eight million transfer and her ongoing orders, she had more than enough to repay Nolan–and still have plenty left over.

Not to mention, throughout the past month, Eliza had been reinvesting her earnings to generate even

more returns.

That night-

Eliza transferred the remaining money directly into Nolan’s bank account.

When the alert popped up on his phone, Nolan’s gaze deepened.

Eliza said, “Made a little money off the meds and masks. Consider this a thank–you gift.”

It wasn’t just for Nolan–she included Henry too.

Back when Henry had cleared out his own stock at low prices, he’d given her a good chunk of medicine and masks.

Eliza had calculated what she owed and was preparing to pay him back as well.

“Why aren’t you saying anything? Not feeling well?”

Eliza glanced toward Nolan’s room.

He must’ve sensed her standing at the door because he said evenly, “Didn’t I say you should invest the money for me?”

“And you actually had the guts to give it all back?”

Eliza replied, “If you gave it to me, I wouldn’t dare keep it.”

Eighty million wasn’t a small sum.

Nolan had trusted her that much and handed it over without hesitation.

Even to the wealthy, eighty million wasn’t pocket change.

Eliza said, “I also added in the interest I promised. If you ever run into trouble, you can come to me too.”

As she spoke, she began tidying up the apartment.

Wearing a mask, she carefully disinfected Nolan’s doorframe.

She even wiped down anything she had touched, afraid she might carry the virus inside.

Nolan stared at her for a moment.

He hadn’t really expected Eliza to return the money.

He gave it to her because he wanted to.

Suddenly, Nolan asked, “Are you going to pay Henry back too?”

“Of course.”

Eliza said, “If it weren’t for Henry selling me those meds and masks at a discount, I wouldn’t have made nearly this much. You’ve got to know how to show gratitude.”

Hearing that, a flicker passed through Nolan’s eyes.

So Henry didn’t hold any special place in her heart.

“In that case… how are you planning to thank him?”

“I’m returning the money.”

Eliza replied, “There’s nothing more real than money in this world.”

At that, the corners of Nolan’s lips curved ever so slightly.

So he was no different from Henry in Eliza’s eyes.

Good.

Cough, cough-!

Suddenly, a violent coughing fit erupted from inside the room.

The moment Eliza heard it, she set the disinfectant down and rushed to Nolan’s door–but he stopped her before she could enter.

“Don’t come in. You’ll get infected.”

Eliza paused.

She knew exactly what infection would entail.

But she didn’t listen. Instead, she walked straight into the room.

“The door’s been open this whole time. If there were airborne particles, I’d already be exposed. I’m wearing a mask and took precautions. The rooms are well–ventilated too. I’ll be fine.”

Eliza reached out and touched Nolan’s forehead.

Sure enough, he was burning up again.

This kind of flu was known to be recurring–and those infected early on suffered the most, with fevers climbing to over 104°F.
