“I’m not proud, but grateful. I appreciate whatever I have now and I am grateful to those who make sure I always have enough.”

Melanie laughed bitterly. “Let’s see how long you can be grateful. Would you still be grateful when you couldn’t feel luxury anymore? Let’s just wait.”

“Thank you for visiting my simple room. If you have nothing else to do, may I rest?”
