Jalen, who had been secretly mocking Martha, collapsed and lost consciousness in an instant because he could not stand this sudden blow.
Kyler hurriedly helped Jalen who had fallen to the ground up. He massaged him as he said helplessly, “Uncle, weren’t you very open-minded when you were persuading Aunt Martha earlier? Why don’t you have the same mentality when it comes to yourself?”
When Martha saw that Jalen was unconscious, even though she was in despair, her mood seemed to ease a little.
It was as if another acquaintance had suddenly jumped in with her when she was feeling desperate after falling into an abyss.
This somehow comforted her a little.
So, she spoke up and said to Kyler, “What’s the use of squeezing him so hard? He will not wake up even if you knock his front teeth off. Hurry up and pour some water on him to wake him up!”
Kyler looked at Heather, who was next to him, and blurted out, “Go and get some water from the car. Why are you still standing here in a daze?!”
Heather, who was aside, was also flustered. She hurriedly went back to the car to get a bottle of water before handing it over to Kyler.
Kyler then poured a bottle of water on Jalen’s head and face, which woke Jalen up from his coma.
As soon as Jalen opened his eyes, he cried out miserably, “God is unfair! Are you trying to kill me?!”
Martha glanced at him and said coldly, “I won’t talk nonsense to you now. The most important thing right now is for us to make money first. We can put everything else aside.”
Having said that, Martha did not wait for Jalen’s response and then said to Kyler, “You should drive. Let him rest in the back.”
Kyler nodded hastily and helped Jalen up as he said, “Uncle, let me help you get into the car.”
Jalen got into the car in despair. Kyler then got into the driver’s seat and continued driving the car toward the border of the United States and Mexico.
