Mommy，We Got a Husband by Doris

Chapter 54 If It’s Not Orion, Who Do You Want to Marry? Galatea?

Harry didn't see it coming. He slammed the phone down and lunged to snatch the black card from Elisa's grip, but she sidestepped with the agility of a cat. "Harry, I'm your flesh and blood," Elisa challenged him, "Hiding your wealth like this-it's downright sleazy!"

Harry felt cornered. 'How was this mess his fault?'

"Listen, Elisa, this card isn't mine and we can't use this money." Harry tried to reason while reaching for the black card again, but Elisa hugged it securely.

"Harry Storm, you'd invent any excuse to keep me from your cash," Elisa accused. "Didn't you brag about raking in a fat bonus? Weren't you the one who said what's yours is mine? Now here I am, unable to touch it, and you're backpedaling, saying that the card's not even yours. Don't you think you're overdoing it?"

Realizing he was in a dilemma and unable to vindicate himself, Harry surrendered and said, "All right, you win. The card's yours. Consider it a gift from your big bro."

There was a bitter edge to Harry's voice. The sister he'd shared his life with now seemed to have a greater fondness for Caspian than for him, and it stung.

"For real, you're giving it to me?" Elisa's face lit up with excitement. "Is there a passcode? What's the passcode?"

"Figure it out yourself." How would he know the PIN? Harry retreated to his bedroom and shut the door.

Once back in his room, Harry found himself unable to sleep, feeling a poignant sense of helplessness. If he were an adult, he could be at the hospital caring for his mom, not having to rely on that jerk. "Mom, how are you feeling today? Better?" Harry sent a text to Galatea, expecting a long wait before she replied, but surprisingly, her response came quickly.

"Don't worry, Harry, I'm feeling much better today."
