Letting go of her neck, Zayn took two hundred dollars out of his wallet before throwing it on her face.

Biting down hard on her lips, she could only throw away her dignity.
“Zayn, two hundred dollars is too little” she begged.
A sinister laughter echoed from his mouth. A desolate chill filled their surroundings.

She couldn’t feel the pain even when the sharp edges of the dollars cut her face. Even if two thousand dollars weren’t enough for Aaron’s surgery, it was

“All I need is you, Mon. You’re the best mom in the world” His body stiffened after his words fell.
