Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1198

Emma only needed three days to pack up and leave the village behind.

Their home never had much to begin with. They sold the land for a bit over ten thousand dollars. With that sum, plus a few clothes on their backs, she and her mom headed to town, no clear plan in sight. Peyton had backed off from pressuring Emma to end her pregnancy, especially after Emma threatened to cut ties. These past few days, Peyton had been walking on eggshells, terrified of upsetting her daughter further. Thankfully, Emma was feeling better, both physically and mentally, without the constant anxiety that had been plaguing her.

With the remaining money, they found a modest apartment renting for three hundred a month. It was small, about fifty square meters, but it had a kitchen and a bathroom-enough for both of them to start anew. Emma spent half of their money on Peyton's medication for the year.

Upon hearing this, Peyton was heartbroken. "Why'd you spend so much on meds? You've got a baby on the way and refuse to consider other options. We need every penny we can get, especially for proper nutrition. You need to have at least a chicken stew every week; where else will the nutrients come from?"

Emma simply stored the medication in the cabinet. It filled three cabinets, with excess spilling onto the floor.

"Mom, we'll make it work. I've already had a job interview at the hospital. It looks promising, and the job pays two thousand eight hundred a month. Our rent is only three hundred, and we still have some savings. We'll figure out the rest as we go." Peyton sighed, then fell silent.

"Maybe I should look for a job as a nanny."

"You should rest instead."

"I've rested enough; it's been tough on you as well."

Hearing this, Emma's eyes welled up with tears.
