After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 339

Althea looked around the room. There were about five others in Winona’s team according to the attending nurses. And, unlike Winona, they were receiving the most urgent care due to their horrible states.

Among them, there was an old woman with white hair hyperventilating. She was wrinkled and a bit unsightly, but one could tell from her features that she was very beautiful in her youth.

Althea knew that it must be Winona’s grandmother.

Other than their first residents, this was the first time she had met an old person. Winona really protected her well, despite all the badmouthing the girl did behind her back.

The others were bloodied and someone even lost an arm. Lily, Sheila, and Betty were working extra hard to save them.

Fortunately, the group stabilized and, except for the one who died on arrival, the other five should survive.

"They’re fine," Betty said, obviously overdrawn from using too much ability.

Althea kindly gave her her exclusive top-quality Sprite to help her spirit.

Betty blinked as she held on to the well-made porcelain bottle. This was only accessible to Althea’s friends, no one else.

Betty was extremely touched. "Thank you," She said. Even at her level, the lord’s potion had a very good effect. This was just as she needed.

She did not dare mention to pay, however, because value couldn’t be attached.

Instead…, Betty just swore to continue to work hard for the lord.

…

The siblings sat in the waiting room for a while, chatting as they waited for Winona to finally regain consciousness.

Soon, the figure on the bed shifted and she slowly opened her eyes.

Althea’s worried face morphed into a relieved smile. "Hey," she said, sitting on the mattress. "How are you feeling?"

Winona gaped, startled, and smiled weakly when she realized it was Althea. "Could’ve felt better."

Winona was just about to start acting like a baby when her peripheral view caught sight of Ansel, who had been watching their interactions with crossed arms.

Winona stiffened a little and she inexplicably blushed in shame.

Althea flinched at her expression and she couldn’t help but feel worried, "What’s wrong? Is it painful?"

Winona looked at Althea pitifully, and the latter immediately scooted near her and gently patted her head. "Your grandma and most of your teammates are okay. They’re recovering."

The blonde blinked and looked at her, making Althea smile. "I arranged your home for you, you can move in as soon as you’re discharged."

"Thank you," Winona said, wrapping her arms around the woman, and resting her chin on the other’s stomach.

From her position, she could see the redhead behind, frowning, and Winona couldn’t help but send an arrogant smirk in Ansel’s direction.

But then she also caught sight of her companions in adjacent beds and she suddenly remembered she had a mission.

She parted from Althea, face uncharacteristically somber. "But… there’s something else I need to talk to you about."

Althea’s eyebrows rose in curiosity, but she patted the other girl, telling her to relax. Stress was not good for recovery.

Winona shook her head, knowing that the issue was too urgent. "Vismont is asking for help from Altera. Matthew said they’re willing to be a subsidiary to Altera if they were rescued."
