There’s enough for both of us, Mama. Just finish yours first. You’ve been taking care of me for months. You’re beginning to forget about yourself. I could never forget myself because taking care of you is part of who I am. You should be building your own future, not spending every day worrying about mine.
You spent your whole life building mine. Now it’s my turn to take care of you. You’ve already done enough. No, Mama. Not until you’re healthy again. You’ve been fighting this battle alone for too long, and I can see how tired you are. What did he say this time? He gave us one more week.
After that, he wants us out of the house. How much do we still owe him? 3 months’ rent. I thought you paid 1 month’s rent already. I used the money for your hospital tests. The doctor said they couldn’t wait. You should have told me. And you would have refused because that’s the kind of mother you are.
