"It means that your little brother was really here, and he could even afford to pay for his mother's medical costs. It shows that he's probably doing fine. There's nothing for you to worry about!"Nathan tried to make Molly feel better after seeing how she sat on the floor without speaking.Molly nodded, still looking a little disoriented.Indeed, she felt a lot better after knowing that Caden was not in any danger.However, that was not enough at all!'Where is Caden?'What could he be doing if he didn't go to school?'How did he get the money to pay for Linda's medical bill?'Those were the questions circling in Moly's head.Not to mention her foster father, Samson Grant!Linda got stomach cancer, and her husband, of all people, should be the one taking care of her.However, he was nowhere to be found. He was even so irresponsible that he made his son bear Linda's medical expenses alone.Molly furrowed her brows as she felt bad for Caden. 'He's just so young, yet he has t
Molly's phone suddenly rang. Someone sent her a text message.It was from Sean: [Are you asleep?]Molly brought her brows together and replied after briefly hesitating. [Not yet.][Open the door.] Sean texted again.Molly saw Sean sitting in his wheelchair elegantly after opening the door, and he was holding a white food container."You didn't eat much just now, so I came to give you some food."He said with concern before handing the food over to Molly.Molly was shocked to see how considerate and thought Sean was, but she shook her head. "It's okay. I'm not hungry."A growling sound was heard.Molly's stomach sounded at the wrong time after she said that.She was embarrassed. A cheerful smile appeared on Sean's handsome face too, as he looked at Molly cheekily."Are you sure you're not hungry?"Molly shrugged her shoulders and opened the door. "Come inside."She locked the door after Sean went in. Then, she turned around and sat on the sofa before opening the food contai
Caden's effort would be nowhere near enough to pay for Linda's medical bills.He would even ruin his own future if he kept skipping school.Molly felt even more worried after she thought about those things. Then, she shook her head and said, "No. We've got to find where Caden is as soon as possible. He can't miss school anymore, or his studies will be affected."Sean nodded without hesitating. "Okay. Let's do that together, then."Molly paused, and her gaze became gentler and grateful as she looked at Sean. "Thank you!" she said."You're welcome." Sean smiled faintly.Molly stayed awake for almost the whole night that day.She would think of Caden whenever she closed her eyes, and she just could not calm herself down.Sean got somebody to send her a glass of warm milk as if he knew what would happen.Molly finished the milk in one go, and she felt the warmth fill up her stomach. She felt so much better after that.Then, she could finally fall asleep.However, Molly only slep
"Okay, teacher. I'll try my best to convince him." Molly nodded.A light of hope sparkled in Molly's eyes after she hung up the phone.She turned around and looked at Sean. Her dazzling gaze shined brighter than a star."Caden's teacher just told me that a student saw him at a construction site in the west end, but the student couldn't be sure. Let's go over there and have a look!"Sean felt a lot better after seeing how much Molly's mood had lightened up, and he nodded. "Sure."After that, he accompanied Molly and went to the construction site.They arrived at their destination at midday.Molly blocked the blinding sunlight with her hand and glanced over to the construction site. Then, she saw a familiar figure.It was Caden!He really was working there.Caden did not notice that Molly was approaching him. His work clothes were filthy, and there was dust all over his hair and body, looking extremely scruffy.He took a deep breath and put a bag of cement on his skinny should
Molly could not help but raise her hand gently, wipe away the ashes from Caden's cheeks for him, and say, "Forget it. You're already working in a construction site. It's useless for me to say anything further. Come home with me and stop working here."After Molly said that, she grabbed Caden's wrist and walked forward."Molly..." said Caden. He only moved a few steps and hesitantly refused to leave.Molly naturally understood Caden's concerns. It was nothing more than Caden worrying that if he had left, he would not be able to save enough money for Linda's medical bills.Molly immediately patted Caden's hand and said, "Don't worry. I already know what happened, and I also know about your mother's illness. Why didn't you come to me when something like this happened? How much money could you earn by yourself?""I..." Caden muttered.After being nagged by Molly, Caden felt remorse. He lowered his gaze and softly said, "I just don't want to trouble you, Molly. You have your own life,
"I didn't want to drop out of school, but I had to earn the money to treat my mother's illness. I can work at the construction site during the day for two hundred dollars a day and wait in a restaurant in the evening for sixty dollars. I can be a cleaner at midnight and earn another forty dollars."Caden was calculating with his fingers when he said that. He smiled and continued, "Molly, I can make three hundred dollars daily and nearly ten thousand dollars monthly. That way, I can make a lot of money!"Even though there is still a long way to go before I could have hundreds of thousands to pay for the medical bills, but I can work hard."'This means that Caden has to work three jobs simultaneously, and each job is very tiring!'Caden is just a teenager. How could he handle the pressure of life with his thin body?' Molly pondered, and she began to feel distressed for Caden.Molly could not help but hug Caden tightly. She raised her hand to touch his head and comforted him. She sai
Seeing that Caden had agreed, Nathan glanced at his watch and suggested, "It's lunchtime. Why don't we take Caden with us? I think you and Mr. Anderson haven't eaten yet.""Sure," said Molly. She had no objection.Molly and the rest came to a stylish Norlonian restaurant and booked a luxurious room.Soon, a variety of dishes were served on the wide table.Molly had been in a bad mood for the past two days, and she did not eat much.Now that Caden was willing to return to school, Molly felt relieved and suddenly had the appetite to eat."Here, eat up. I see you've lost some weight," said Molly.Molly kept adding food to Caden's bowl, and she wanted to nourish him back to a healthy state.On the other hand, Sean kept scooping food into Molly's bowl and gently said, "You too. Stop losing weight."Molly was stunned for a moment. She responded with a nod and did not say anything else.Although Molly was not enthusiastic about Sean, she no longer resisted him for being kind to her.
That night, Molly stayed at the hotel with Caden and had dinner with him.After dinner, Molly went to Caden's room and explained some follow-up matters to him."I have already contacted someone to help transfer your mother to another hospital. After she goes to the new hospital, I will ask the best doctor to treat her and hire someone to take care of her. That way, you don't have to run back and forth all the time."Caden cast a grateful look at Molly after hearing that. He said, "Thanks, Molly. Without you, I don't even know what to do."Caden felt like a drowning man, struggling to swim upstream, when suddenly someone threw a rope at him.Molly was the life-saving rope, and Caden went ashore along the rope and stayed alive.Caden thought from the bottom of his heart, 'In this life, I must become stronger!'I can't always rely on Molly.'I hope that one day, I will be capable and excel enough to be on my own.'When Molly needs me, I will come forward and be her most solid shi
