Chapter 3

I knew he was worried about the money.

With kidney failure in his current state, he needed dialysis two or three times a week.

Each session, including medication, cost over a thousand bucks.

He was sick now, couldn't earn money, and knew I was struggling.

But this illness was brutal, and more dialysis sessions, however painful, could ease his suffering a little.

I hugged his arm tightly, saying seriously,

“You just follow the doctor’s orders, okay?

“I’m about to close a major deal. Once that contract’s signed, I’ll be promoted to lead manager.

“A thousand bucks? That’s barely enough for a decent dinner for me these days!”

Truth be told, even as a lead manager, I’d barely make ten thousand a month.

But at least, I wouldn’t have to borrow money for my dad’s medical bills anymore.

Liam walked up to us, smiling as he helped my dad with his other arm.

His voice was gentle: “Mr. David, just focus on your treatment.

“Chloe is a powerhouse at her company; you don’t need to worry about money.”

My dad loved me dearly, but a flicker of pride still shone in his eyes when he heard that.

“My girl has always been capable.”

After completing the procedures, my dad lay in the ward, undergoing dialysis.

It was almost 1 PM, and I went downstairs to the cafeteria to buy him food.

Stepping out of the elevator on the first floor, I found my path blocked by Julian.
