Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 327

"Not bad, how's your family doing?" Xavier asked.

"They're all doing pretty good," the boy replied with a naive smile. "My younger sister is already in her second year of college."

Xavier asked, "Why are you here?"

The boy responded, "My dad broke his leg while hiking in the mountains, and he's in the hospital here. I came to take care of him."

"Oh," Xavier nodded, reaching into his clothes for some cash. "I only have this much money on me. You take it first, and give me your bank account number, and I'll transfer some more to you later."

The boy was startled. "What are you doing?"

Xavier explained, "Your parents worked hard to send you and your sister to school, and now the hospital bills are expensive. Since I'm good friends with your brother, just think of this money as coming from him."

The boy pushed away the cash while saying, "Thank you, but it's not necessary. We have money, I mean it, we have money!"

"You just graduated and haven't started working yet. Where would you have gotten any money?" Xavier was skeptical.

"Really!" The boy grinned naively. "My brother has been sending money home these past few years, always giving my parents a fixed sum every month. The money for my sister and me to go to college came from my brother."

Xavier was stunned. "Your brother?"

"Yeah!" The boy nodded.

Something clicked in Xavier's mind, and his hoarse voice became even lower. "How much does he send you guys every month?"

"Twenty thousand!" the boy said proudly, but with some regret. "He transfers twenty thousand dollars to my dad every month, but he never comes home. We don't even know what he's doing out there."
