I grabbed my mother who wanted to follow him, and seeing her worried look, I almost couldn't help but tell her the truth.

"Dora, can you borrow some money to help David?"
I pretended to think for a while, then said to her, "I think I can borrow some money, but you have to go with me."
I planned to first take her away from David's house to ensure her safety.
"Mom, I'll talk to David later. We'll leave tomorrow.
