Sophia Kensington: tears streaming down her face I-I had to do it, I couldn't l-let them die...
I understand, Soph. It's a good thing you did.
sniffs, wipes away tears Th-thank you, Stranger. It's just... I never thought that my saving them would come with such a price.
he holds Sophia's hand gently What exactly happened after they were saved?
takes a deep breath W-well, after they were stable, the doctors informed me that they needed to be transferred to a specialized facility...
leans in closer What kind of facility?
pauses, looking down It's... it's a private facility, Stranger. It provides specialized care for patients with complex medical conditions.
takes a deep breath And... the cost of keeping them there... it's exorbitant, Stranger.
looks down, hands trembling It's... it's one million dollars per month, Stranger.
eyes widen One million dollars?!
bites her lip, voice shaking Y-yes, Stranger. One million dollars...
sniffles, looks up at Stranger B-but Stranger, that's so much money... I don't want to burden you with this responsibility.
I smile you could never burden me, sophia
takes a deep breath, mustering her courage Thank you, Stranger. Your support means everything to me.
I hold her hand do you feel like I'm practically your brother?
blushes, stutters W-well, Stranger, you know how much I cherish you, right? I mean, you're like a b-brother to me... in h-heart.
I chuckle softly Of course, Sophia. You've always been like a sister to me. And don't worry about the costs - I'll help you out however I can. We're family, remember?
Sophia and Stranger gather enough money to cover the expenses for her parents' specialized care, and they both breathe a sigh of relief knowing their loved ones are getting the best treatment possible.
