“Our boss is out of town for the next couple of days and won’t be back until Wednesday afternoon,” the interviewer explained, noticing Rebecca’s hesitation. “If you’re free, we can schedule your final interview for Wednesday at 3 PM.”

“Sure, I’m available,” Rebecca replied.

She thought, ‘Mom’s surgery is this afternoon. Even if something goes wrong, I should have time to deal with it by Tuesday. I still don’t know how much it will all cost, but I need to keep this job. Hope Jeffrey won’t mess this up.

After the interview, Rebecca went straight to the hospital. The surgery was still hours away, but her anxiety wouldn’t let

go.

She arrived a little after eleven. Timothy greeted her with his usual calm, his tone unchanged. “You know about your mom’s surgery, right?”

“Yes,” Rebecca replied, sitting across from him. Despite her soft eyes, she couldn’t hide the anxiety weighing her down. “How confident are you?”

“About fifty percent,” Timothy answered honestly.

Rebecca’s heart tightened. For years, her mom had been in a coma, unresponsive to words but with occasional reflexes that showed she was still alive.

But if the surgery failed, her mom would end up on a ventilator for the rest of her life. Rebecca couldn’t even bring herself

to think about it.

“We’ll do everything we can for your mother,” Timothy said gently, his voice warm. He had seen Rebecca’s devotion year after year. “Good people are always blessed by God.”

“If you need anything during the surgery, just use it. Don’t worry about the cost. I’ll pay it all back later,” Rebecca said, forcing a smile. Deep down, she knew the talk about “being blessed by God” was just meant to comfort her.

Timothy opened his mouth to say something more, but in the end, he just said one word. “Alright.”

Before confirming the surgery with Rebecca, Timothy gave Jeffrey a full update.

After hearing the details, Jeffrey had 3 million wired directly into the hospital’s account and told Timothy to do whatever it took for Rebecca’s mom, Amelia.

But the condition was that Rebecca must never find out. She needed to believe the money was all coming from her own pocket.
