I smiled. It was because of this very statement from Marely that I quit my job in my past life to care for Darien wholeheartedly. But seven years later, she flatly denied it, claiming I quit my job because I was seeing other men.
No matter what, I wouldn't make the same mistake again.
"Marely, I don't mean to be harsh, but over these years, my salary has been over twenty thousand dollars, while Darien's is only about four thousand dollars, not even enough for his expenses. As for the savings at home, I've been the one earning. So basically, I've been spending my own money. What's more, maybe Darien will receive compensation for the accident. Why don't we use that to hire a nurse to take care of him? What do you think?"
At the mention of compensation, Marely and the others' eyes lit up.
Because of Darien's car accident, the driver who caused it paid a considerable amount of compensation, but all of it went into Marely's pocket.
I didn't press her for it, understanding that it wasn't easy for an elderly person.
