Anthony’s words had reached Madeline’s ears, and she hadn’t known about this until now. She was completely overwhelmed by
the news.
Halsey stepped forward, trying to calm her down. “Maddy, don’t panic. Actually, your mom’s health has been a concern for some time now.”
There had been a time when Tina had asked Halsey not to tell Dwight or Madeline, especially since Madeline was about to take her final exams. It was a critical time for her.‘
Madeline’s tears came crashing down. This was a devastating blow to her. She sobbed, choking on her words. “Why is this happening? She’s been fine for so long. I don’t believe it! I can’t accept it! How can she not make it through two more days?”
Halsey wrapped her arms around Made frail frame, holding her tightly. “Don’t cry. Don’t be sad. Your mom didn’t want to
tell you because she didn’t want to see you in pain.”
“Dwight and I lost our dad a long time ago. All these years, Mom raised us. Even though she’s blind, she took such good care of us. My classmates used to say I came from a single–parent family, that I had no dad. But I never felt like I was missing anything, because I had my loving brother and my caring mom. But now… Now, my mom is going to leave me…”
Madeline broke down completely.
In the face of such heartbreak, there was nothing Halsey could say to console Madeline. All Halsey could do was hold her tightly and pat her back gently, offering her company and comfort.
Anthony said softly, “Ms. Halsey, we’ve used the best medicine available for the patient. Just try to spend more time with her for these next couple of days.”
With that, Anthony left the room.
Madeline managed to stop crying. She didn’t want to let Tina hear her tears. She told herself she had to be strong.
“Thank you, Halsey. Every time something happens at home, you’re always there for us.”
Halsey squeezed Madeline’s small hand. She knew that the Garner siblings were strong at their core, and that hardship would only help them grow faster.
“Hasn’t Dwight come yet?”
Madeline shook her head. “I’ve been trying to call him, but I can’t get through. He’s been so busy lately, barely coming home at all.”
Madeline didn’t know what Dwight was up to.
Halsey, of course, wouldn’t tell her. “Let’s go inside and see your mom.”
They walked into the hospital room, and there lay Tina on the bed. Her body was clean and neat, but her face was pale.
“Mom, Halsey’s here.”
Halsey stepped forward and took Tina’s hand. “Mrs. Garner, I’m here to see you.”
Tina gave a faint, weak smile. “Halsey. I knew I heard your voice outside. Thanks for coming.”
Halsey’s eyes, already red from tears, welled up again as she nodded. “Of course, Mrs. Garner. Don’t worry about anything. Just focus on getting better. I’ve taken care of things at the hospital, and I’m going to bring Maddy to stay at my place. She has her exams in a few days.”
Madeline spoke up. “It’s in five days.”
Halsey nodded, reassuring her. “Yes, Maddy has her exams in five days. I’ll make sure everything goes smoothly for her. The best school, Oakwood High, is right near my house. Maddy will stay with me, and I’ll take care of her like she’s my own little

sister.”
Tina was deeply touched, her heart full of gratitude. There was no Halsey already understood them.
Halsey made sure that Tina had nothing to worry about.
Tina squeezed Halsey’s hand tightly. “Thank you. Meeting you has
