Chapter 436

Sarah's voice was firm yet gentle. "That won't happen. Your mother will only care about you more. And this isn't your fault. Medicine has advanced so much now... you-"

Tina wiped her tears. "Miss Sanders, do I really still have hope?"

"Of course. Of course, you do," Sarah reassured her patiently. "Studies show that HIV is no longer the death sentence it once was. With medication, the virus can be controlled."

Tina let out a bitter laugh. "But what if I can't afford the medication?"

Sarah shook her head. "You don't have to worry about that either. Infectious disease clinics in hospitals provide free HIV medication. You can apply for it—it won't cost you anything."

Tina's tense expression eased slightly, but fear still lingered in her eyes. "But... if my mom finds out, she'll kill me."

Her voice trembled, on the verge of breaking down again. She was still trapped in the despair that made death seem like her only option.

Sarah slowly walked over and gently reached for Tina's hand, trying to offer comfort.

But Tina yanked it away abruptly. “No! It's contagious.”

Sarah met her gaze calmly. "Don't be afraid, Tina. Just try doing the things on your list, okay?"

She knew Tina had lost all interest in life. What she needed now was a reason to want to live again.
