He came in and suddenly said something that caught Romy off guard. "What did you say?"
"I said, let's accept Mr. Harper's proposal." Henry was afraid his mother didn't understand what he meant, so he explained, "He said that he would pay for my sister's treatment."
A few days ago, Romy asked Henry about his opinion on this matter. After all, they were family, and he was the only one she could discuss it with. However, at that time, Henry didn't express his stance, so Romy thought he was unwilling.
Seeing that he had changed his mind so much, she was a little surprised. "But..."
"There's no but. We need money." After a night, Henry had already figured it out. "Nothing is more important than my sister's life. If we want my sister to wake up, we can only accept the help of Mr. Harper."
Romy sighed silently. She understood these words all too well. However, when she thought about the money needed for the treatment when thought about the astronomical figure, she hesitated. It wasn't that she didn't want her daughter to get better. If possible, she would rather be the one suffering. But she was afraid that if Alivia really woke up, she would be burdened with another heavy debt. How could she bear it?
"Henry, I know you and your sister have always had a good relationship since you were young. Do you think I don't love your sister? She is the one I care about the most. But the cost of treatment is not a small amount. It's in the millions of dollars. Even if we spend it now, we'll have to pay it back in the future. If your sister wakes up, how will she face all this..."
"She doesn't have to face it," Henry said without hesitation. His expression and behavior were very calm. Compared with the crazy collapse a few days ago, he was like a completely different person. "I will bear all these. Mom, trust me. I will definitely make enough money to pay off this debt in the future."
As Romy listened to these words, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she covered her face, crying softly, "It's my fault for being useless. It's all my fault..."
Henry walked over and embraced his mother, looking at Alivia on the bed, wearing a breathing mask. At that moment, the eighteen-year-old young man matured in an instant. It was a kind of awakening, a realization that came after experiencing life and death and distinguishing right from wrong. "Mom, everything will be fine. All of it will pass. We had my sister before, and now we have me. Our family will get through this."
