Chapter 578 A Promise of Promotion

The rain had stopped by morning.

Sunlight, warm and golden, filtered through the glass doors of the bank's self-service area.

Joanna slowly woke, blinking against the light.

She saw her mother's gentle smile and felt the haze of sleep lift from her mind.

A rich, tempting scent of bread filled the air. Her stomach, empty from the night before, growled in protest.

Joanna hadn't eaten since the previous day.

The hunger was sharp, reminding her how long it had been since her last meal.

Marge stood before her, a bag of bread and milk in her hands.

"Mom, how did you get the money for this?"

Marge grinned. "I had a little bit saved. When I saw you sleeping, I went across to buy breakfast. Hurry, eat before it gets cold."

Joanna tore the bread in half. "We'll share it."

Marge shook her head. I've already had some."

"Come on, Mom, we'll split it Otherwise, I won't eat

Marge sighed but took the other half, and they ate together, sharing a small moment of joy.

The sunlight touched their faces, making their smiles shine even brighter.

Joanna finished the last sip of milk and noticed something on the floor near Marge.
