Seeing Emily looking upset, Charlie thought it was still about her mom's illness and comforted her, "Your dad came today and told me about your mom's situation, don't worry, I gave him the money, and your mom will get better soon!"
Emily was stunned for a moment and asked blankly, "Who did you say came?"
Charlie replied, "Your dad! He said his name was Shawn."
Emily's face changed instantly, and she asked hoarsely, "He asked you for money? How much did you give him?"
"A hundred thousand. Doesn't your mom's surgery cost that much?"
Emily felt as if she had been punched in the chest, the pain spreading throughout her body. Her mind buzzed, and the cardboard box in her hands dropped to the ground with a "bang," the things inside spilling out.
Her whole body trembled with the rush of emotions from the shocking news, not giving her any chance to catch her breath. Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Charlie angrily, "Why did you give him the money?"
Charlie was taken aback.
All the sorrow in Emily turned to anger as she sobbed and questioned, "Who told you to give him the money? A hundred thousand? Why didn't you ask me first? Do you really think you're our savior?"
She was full of hatred in her heart, rubbing her face to wipe away the tears before running to her room, slamming the door shut.
Unable to hold back the tears any longer, Emily slid down the door to sit on the floor, covering her face as she cried.
Still in shock, Charlie wondered what Emily was talking about. Had he done something wrong by lending her family money for the surgery?
Seeing the scattered possessions on the floor, he sighed and bent down to carefully pick them up.
There were a few photo albums, a Totoro plush toy, and a Lego castle that had been broken into pieces...
