Jeo raised his hand and took a few steps around. "Look at me, I'm totally fine now."
Hannah replied, "That's good to hear. After I get discharged, I might not be able to work for a while. I'll hang out with you guys in the Capital then."
Jeo responded, "Sounds good. I've always wanted to visit the Capital, but your mom is always too stingy to spend the money."
Hannah said, "The money I send you each month is meant for you to spend freely, you don't need to save it."
At this, Jeo got really excited. “Your mom hasn’t spent a cent of the money you send. She’s saved it all. She says it’s tough for a girl like you out there and you’ll definitely need money sometimes. So she saved your money to give you a safety net...”
Hannah had no idea about this. She said, “Dad, I’m richer than you think, so use the money if you need it. Don't worry about saving for me. I'll plan for my future, and you don't need to worry."d2
Jeo replied, "There's no parent who doesn't worry for their child. Your mom also said..."
"Jeo, have you lost your mind? I told you not to say anything and you blurted out everything!" Pandora rushed in, scolding Jeo.
Jeo meekly responded, "If I don't say it, how would Hannah know we've been saving for her? How could she feel secure if she doesn't know?"
Pandora said, "I told you not to tell her."
Jeo said, "You're really aggressive."
Pandora asked, "What did you say? Say that again, I dare you."
Jeo fell silent.
