NovelEnglishAmelia's parents walked up toand thankedsolemnly. "We're so grateful, Mrs. Grant."
| smiled and shook my head. "You don't have to thank me. Sky is an adorable child. I like him, so it's only natural
that I'd help him. Don't worry about the upcoming medical expenses. If the child needs a bone marrow
transplant urgently, I'll talk to my husband and see if there's anything he can do to help."
| saw their lips quiver as if they wanted to smile, but they could not.
"Mrs. Grant, after talking it through, we've decided not to proceed with Sky's
treatment. This child is suffering. We've decided to let him spend his remaining days by bringing him on a trip.
We'll let him see parts of the world he's never seen and do the things he's never done. We want him to leave
without regrets. This is our family's fate," Amelia's mother said.
| was stunned. "Why? I've spoken to the doctor. He said that if we continue with the treatments and find a
suitable bone marrow, he'll get better. If you're worried about the medical expenses, I'll take care of it. He's still

Amelia's mother burst into tears as she said with a helpless expression, "He won't have a bright future. Even if
he's successfully treated, we'll just be a burden to him. Moreover, he has a leech of an uncle who made Amelia
kill herself. He'll kill Sky too. We should let him enjoy his remaining days on Earth and let the good times end
here. He'll do better in the afterlife."
| did not know what to say at that moment. She was right. Even if this child was cured, he would have no one to
rely on in the future. His scumbag of an uncle alone was enough to torture him for the rest of his life. Anthony
would make his life a living hell, just like he did with Sky's mother. By then, Sky's parents would barely be able to
move anymore. Sky would still have to look after them.
Even so, they could not just give up on the child's life so easily.
The child did not want much. He just wanted to keep on living.
When Amelia's mother saw that | had more to say, she quickly stopped me."Mrs. Grant, | know you're kind-
hearted, and you'll help us however you can. But we're not related, and we can't keep relying on your help
forever. We're beyond grateful for all you've done for us thus far. If you ever need our help, we'll repay you. It's
getting late. You should head back and get srest."
| still wanted to say something, but when | saw the determined look in her eyes, | felt my words get stuck in my
throat.
This was never any of my business.
Moreover, | could not be responsible for this child's future. | did not have the right to decide what to do with his
life either.
This powerless feeling madevery uncomfortable. | left the hospital in a daze.
The phone in my bag kept ringing. | took it out and glanced at the caller ID. It was Shannon.
| picked up the call, and she was as boisterous as usual. "Have you returned to Whaldorf, Wanda? Have you seen
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJordan? He hasn't calledin a few days. The resort project was suddenly shut down for sreason. What the
hell happened? Are you still planning on coming back?"
| sat on the lounge chair near the hospital's entrance and watched as people walked in and out of the hospital.
Sof them were holding their newborn babies, their faces were full of joy; swere full of despair, caught
in the throes of life.
The joys and sorrows of life were presented here in vivid detail.
| still could not recover from what had happened with Sky and responded to her half-heartedly, "I don't think |
can go back at the moment. Take care of yourself.
Something must have happened with the Fredericks. Perhaps he's just been busy. Once he has something to talk
about, he'll contact you. Don't worry too much." Shannon sighed and said in an exasperated tone, "I'm still
waiting for you to get back so we can check out that new bar together. I'm so bored right now. The scariest part
is my grandfather has recently started arranging forto meet potential suitors. | don't know why but he's
forbiddenfrom contacting Jordan. He says that we're incompatible. That's not what he said the last time. He «
