“I feel like God heard my prayers,” Tina murmured, her voice soft and wistful. “Four years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Dwight has grown up. I know my time is running out. How much longer did the doctor say I have?”

Halsey’s beautiful almond–shaped eyes misted over with unshed tears. “He said you have about two months left.”

Tina whispered, almost to herself, “Two months… That’s not a lot of time.”

Halsey immediately gripped Tina’s hand tighter. “Don’t worry, Mrs. Garner. I’ve arranged for Dr. Willis to give you the best treatment. We’ll fight for more time.”

Tina turned toward Halsey. “Halsey, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t even be here. We owe you a debt of gratitude. Our family may be poor, but we don’t like owing anyone anything. I’ll leave the hospital today, and you won’t have to trouble yourself with me anymore.”

“Mrs. Garner_” Halsey began, but she knew there was no convincing Tina. Just like Dwight, Tina had her pride.

Tina’s gentle smile tugged at the corners of her lips.

“By the way, where’s Dwight?” Halsey asked.

“He went to take a shower. He should be out soon.”

Dwight had rushed back from the construction site, covered in dirt and dust. Even while waiting in the hospital earlier, he had attracted attention with his rugged appearance.

Every time he came home, he made sure to clean up, not wanting his family to see him looking so grimy.

This VIP hospital room had its own bathroom, so Dwight had gone in to freshen up.

Halsey remembered the heavy cement bags he had been carrying earlier. His shoulders must be in pain. She immediately went to Anthony and got a medicinal ointment that worked wonders for muscle aches.

Holding the ointment in her hand, Halsey stood by the bathroom door, about to knock
