Alessa scoffed and immediately declared, “Mr. Read, this is your family matter, and I won’t interfere. But… since this elderly woman is in Eragos, our association will not stand idly by!”

Weston’s face lit up with joy, “Thank you, Mrs. Alessa! I knew you were a kind–hearted person. Thank you for helping my great–aunt!”

“Mrs. Alessa, this isn’t appropriate!”

“Oh? Mr. Read, you won’t take care of her, and you’re not letting me lend a helping hand to an old friend either?” Alessa’s voice was firm.

She turned to Weston. “Young man, leave me the address and phone number. I’ll have someone personally check on the elderly woman’s condition. If money is needed for treatment, I will cover it.”

Bennett and Sophie were horrified.

Weston’s family had always been poor and lived in the countryside. Whenever they tried borrowing money from him, Bennett never agreed. If Weston were allowed to get close to Mrs. Alessa, who knew what kind of gossip he would spread behind their backs?

What if he said something he shouldn’t have?

Cold sweat trickled down Bennett’s back.

I swear in front of everyone here today that as long as I can still earn money, I will take care of my mother. No matter how much it costs, I’ll buy the most expensive -medication for her. I won’t hesitate. If I break this promise …

Bennett’s face stiffened.
