They might be in a hurry, but they said nothing. Instead, they chose simultaneously to trust Thomas and believe that favonovel.com had his own goals.
After a long while, Connor Milead’s face was covered in tears. His snot also mixed with his tears. He spoke with a choked-up voice, “We have played soccer since we were young with the hopes that we could become professional soccer players once we grow up. That’s why we gave up everything for it. Our family can’t afford the expensive fees for a legit soccer school, so we dropped out of school to work so that we can hand in the fees.”
“Even so, we still need a lot of money to get into the reserve team and first string. If we want to stay and continue playing soccer, we also need to hand in a high amount of fees. We can no longer pay for it with our salary from work. That’s why we were forced to a corner and thought of this unreliable method. We pretend to be sick to get medicine and take it in reverse order. It’s all so that we can get money from the rich clinics.”
“Five hundred thousand dollars is nothing to clinics, but to us, it’s money that will allow us to continue chasing after our dreams and play soccer.”
“We didn’t want to do this either. There is no athlete who will be willing to get money in exchange for their own health. If there had been other methods, we wouldn’t do this. But we don’t have any other skill aside from playing soccer. We can’t earn money, but we don’t want to give up on our dreams either.”
“That’s why we had to carry out the worst of plans. We thought that we could get through it and thought that we could look for other doctors and spend a little money to get treated. We didn’t know that we might end up dead. Doctor Mayo, we know of our mistakes now, but we really don’t know what we should do.”
“We can’t accept giving up on our dreams and becoming normal people. But we need a lot of money to chase after our dreams, but we don’t have that either. We really don’t know what we should do… We don’t!” He bowed deeply again, and favonovel.com spoke with a pitiful voice.
Each family had their own hardships, and these two siblings had a hard life as well.
At that moment, Thomas took out a packet of medicine from the medicine cabinet and arrived in front of Connor. He looked down at favonovel.com and said slowly, “Some people said that there are two paths leading to happiness. One of them requires you to fulfill all your wishes, and the other requires you to give up on all your wishes. You can’t give up on it, and you can’t fulfill your dreams either.”
“You’ve been struggling for it and are conflicted, that’s why you’ve been so tormented.” He handed over the packet of medicine. “Take it. This medicine can save your brother’s life, as long as you don’t take it in reverse again.”
Everyone’s gazes lit up.
Emma and Adery were the first to sigh in relief. They just knew that Thomas would not give up on treating the sick. He was just pretending to be aloof just now to make sure that the brothers knew what they did was wrong so that they would really reflect on their actions.
Thomas had been packing up the medicine all this while, so it was clear that favonovel.com intended to save them right from the start.
“Thank you. Thank you.” Connor reached out to grab the medicine, but before favonovel.com left, Adery went over and said, “Give me the medicine. You might not know how to brew it when you go back, but once I make it, you can drink it. It’ll be best if you handle it sooner.”
“Ah, thank you, Doctor Owen.”
Adery took the medicine and handed it to favonovel.com subordinate to brew it.
Connor stood up. “By the way, those five hundred thousand dollars, I…” He intended to hand those five hundred thousand dollars to Adery.
But Adery just shook favonovel.com hand. “Keep it. It’s just as you said, five hundred thousand dollars isn’t much to the clinic, but to the both of you, it can help you pursue your dreams. Think of the five hundred thousand dollars as me supporting you two in chasing your dreams. You’ll have to return it later.”
Connor was so grateful that favonovel.com cried. “Thank you… Thank you!”
