“You don’t have to go through all that trouble.” Melanie rejected his suggestion after thinking
about it.
Stephen was rarely so stubborn. “It’s already so late. It’s unsafe for a woman to drive alone.
After Melanie drove back to her place, Stephen called someone to drive him home. He handed the clay figurine she left in the car to her. “Throw a coin on it whenever you’re unhappy.”
Melanie did not understand what he meant.
He explained, “My grandfather taught me this. It works. It’s just like a wish fountain.”
Melanie took the figurine and headed upstairs. She placed the two figurines on her study table. She pondered for a while before throwing a coin onto them.
It was Wednesday morning, Melanie applied for a day off from work as her grandfather had to go for a check–up that day.
When she went to pick up her grandfather from the nursing home, the dean happened to be there. Beating about the bush, he reminded Melanie to pay for the next term.
The nursing home was pretty good in all aspects, and the fees were costly. Recalling her schedule, Melanie decided to pay the fees on Friday.
Her grandfather looked at her and shook his head. “I told you not to put me in such an expensive nursing home, yet you refused to listen. Look at how much you’ve spent all these years.”

After Melanie’s parents divorced, her mother married another man. However, her grandfather did not agree to it, so her mother cut off ties with her grandfather.
Two years ago, her mother appeared out of nowhere and said that her younger daughter was ill, so she needed a huge amount of money.
