“Fine “Conrad averted his eyes. The woman’s expression and tears made him feel agitated. He even felt somewhat upset. He didn’t want to look at her anymore.
“I’ll pay you back twice the market price.”
Echo tried to hold back her coughing as she asked, “That project is worth 150 million dollars right now. Are you sure you want to do that?”
“I’m a man of my word.”

Jason frowned and said. “Thea Lawson is your grandmother?”
“Yes She suddenly fainted at home” With that, Fia’s tears began to well up again.
She had been crying a lot these past few days.
Jason patted her arms and said, “Control your emotions. You still have the ba…”

“We managed to save her, but she’s not doing that well.” Jason then turned to look at Echo, who was sitting in a wheelchair

Cough. “How’s my mother?” Echo asked as she coughed. She pressed her hand on her chest. Only with that could she lessen the duration of her coughs.

“Thank you. Where is she, then?”
