As she spoke, Mrs. Blanchard could not help but sigh.

"It would be great if your brother was here! It would be more convenient if we had another man in the house! Ally, when you have kids in the future, you're going to need to sacrifice a couple of years to take care of your kid. Once you miss a significant time in your child's life, you cannot turn back time. I didn't dare to mention this to your father just now, but his wish is for you to succeed in life! You have to take whatever help you can get even if it's from a stranger. Even if you are blood related, you would still be distant after spending a long time apart!"

She didn't want her to make the same mistake again! She stroked Alicia's hair, and Mrs. Blanchard smiled again.

"So, I've discussed with your father that we would buy or rent a house near where you would live once you get married. As long as we are nearby, you'd have someone to help you, won't you? It's just that we can't help you now. Instead, we've become a burden to you!" "Mom, what are you talking about? You took care of me when I was young, now it's my turn to take care of you. Isn't it my duty as a daughter to take care of my parents? Mom, let's find a new place for you to move in. Once you've settled down, we'll bring Dad home from the hospital. I'll let Frederick know. That way, we would have an extra hand!" They left the room once they were was done confiding in each other. Later, the three of them headed over to the hotel. They even did a prayer before they had lunch.

In the afternoon, Frederick made arrangements to help Mrs Blanchard relocate. At the same time, Alicia had also called Marshall to get Frederick to arrange for someone to bring her father home from the hospital.

During the entire process, Frederick was a little shocked and confused.

Initially, he thought that Alicia's mother had found a boyfriend. It was only after he came back that he found out that Alicia's father was still alive and had just woken up not too long ago. He had been living in a nursing home for three years.

Suddenly, he thought back to the time when she worked hard to make money. She had lost her temper a few times with him because of money. Suddenly, Frederick realized something.

Why was she so hellbent on making so much money? He had never seen her buy any luxury goods! So, why did she work so hard to make money when she never spent it?

It turned out that she was not a money grubber nor did she want to have a sense of security. It was because... she needed to pay for her father's medical expenses!

Three years!

She had to take care of her mother and her family with the money that she earned. She also had to pay for her father's medical expenses. When he thought about it, Frederick could just see the life that she'd lived.

Her monthly salary was only about thirty thousand dollars!

Even though she had only stayed at the hospital for less than a month, her bills came up to 500,000 dollars because she was admitted to the VIP ward. The daily medical expenses and examination fees were at least 10,000 dollars!

well as her mother's meager salary and the amount of commitments she had, it was no wonder she had to earn extra income by dancing at the nightclub. This was
