Maeve froze there. Her hands hung in the air. She looked stunned. "Do you think that I couldn't stand Horace and deliberately let him in?"

Did they think that everything Horace had done was fake?

But you and Horace are still young. You shouldn't suffer with us." Scott explained in a few words the reason why he had been indifferent to Macve for the past few years.

She was silent for a moment. "How much more do you owe now?

"Your mother and I have already returned a portion. We only have 200 thousand dollars left." Scott rubbed his hands. 200 thousand dollars in debt, plus the cost of Valda's treatments, would cost at least 400 thousand dollars.
