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
The next day, Molly accompanied Caden to school to resume his studies.Molly and Caden went to the teacher's office. Molly explained Caden's situation at home to his teacher and thanked the teacher."Sorry for making you worry about Caden, teacher! I appreciate the school for being tolerant of my brother's actions and didn't agree to let him drop out of school. Otherwise, it would be troublesome."The teacher smiled very friendly and modestly said, "It's okay. We understand how hard it is for Caden. We can overlook it if Caden is willing to return to school."However, you can't be irresponsible anymore, Caden. Even if there is an incident at home, you should discuss it with your sister before making a decision. Otherwise, it will cost you your future! If you miss out on a few lessons from school, you will fall behind the other students by a large margin. This will definitely affect your future, so you must be careful!""Yes, teacher. I'm sorry. I will work harder on my studies in
After settling Caden, Molly returned to meet with Sean and the others.'Molly looks like she's in a good mood. She was smiling the whole time,' Sean thought and looked at Molly intently.Seeing that Molly had finally let go of her worries and relaxed her tightly frowned eyebrows, Sean could not help but feel much more at ease.After the preparations were made, the few began to return to Northfolk.On the way back, Nathan volunteered and said, "About your adoptive mother's transfer to Northfolk, you can leave it to me if you want to handle her."Molly was stunned for a moment. She did not expect that Nathan would lend a helping hand.However, Nathan was right about one thing.Molly did not want to have direct contact with her adoptive mother.After all, there was nothing good to say every time they met."Alright," said Molly.Molly hesitated for a short while, then she nodded in agreement.However, Molly would not let Nathan bear the burden alone, so she added, "I will troubl
