Grace responded and went to get the prescription filled with the rest.
It was just a couple of ointments and a spray to relieve the pain and heal the bruises.
Grace handed the medicine to the little girl. “Here, this is Mason’s medicine. You need to apply it several times a

pulled out several crumpled bills that ranged from one dollar, two dollars, and up to fifty dollars.

money. As I said, my mom left me a fortune. It’ll all be mine when I’m 18. I can take care of you then!”
As she listened to the girl speak with a straight face, Grace suddenly felt her nose getting sore.
If her own brother had been alive, perhaps she would be just like this little girl after her mother’s death.
