After browsing the market for a while, Peter received a call from Reuben.
"Peter, where are you? We've arrived."
"You're here too?" Peter was quite surprised.
"Quickly, tell me where you are. We're in the market right now."
Peter then told them his location.
Soon enough, Peter met up with Reuben and Bennett.
"Peter, why did you leave so suddenly? We wanted to thank you, but couldn't find you!"
Bennett looked at Peter with gratitude. No one understood better than Bennett how important Peter's help was to the Thompson family. If his father had died, the entire Thompson family would have been finished, and he would have lost his standing as one of the powerful heirs of the provincial city. Hence, he was truly grateful to Peter from the bottom of his heart.
With a faint smile, Peter asked, "How's your dad?"
"He's already recovered. He asked me to thank you on his behalf no matter what, and even said that he'll make a trip to your village to personally express his gratitude."
