| answered the call and heard the wailing of a woman. "Mrs. Grant, | know you've helped us a lot and | shouldn't
be asking for anything else, but I really have no other choice. Only you can help us now. We're still short of

"Mm."

He sat down besideand pulledinto his arms, asking in a tender voice," Amelia's mother called you to
borrow money from you?"

asked her to use it for Amelia's son's treatment. Are you going to be mad at me?"
