Chapter 169 - 166: Buying Medicine
Su Mo now did not know whether to call this woman foolish or desperately seeking death. She did not offer a reminder, merely saying, "The debt will be paid in full within six months; from today onward, we will have nothing to do with each other, how about that?"

Su Mo, whose hearing was extraordinarily sharp, had already overheard the couple’s conversation. She pursed her lips, only hoping that these two would not come to regret their actions in the future.
