Both he and Caroline were stricken with HIV.
He approached me, his face a mess of regret and desperation. "Grace. I messed up. I don't deserve forgiveness, but we can't just write off" Carson. I've talked to the doctors. If his condition spirals, he might rea "I was a jerk when I made you leave with nothing. I'll give you 16. thousand dollars. Just lethave Mollie back! "If anything goes wrong on the operating table, I'll own it!" "What can you own? Mollie has been fragile since birth. She can't handle giving up a kidney!" I couldn't believe Antohad the audacity to ask Mollie to donate a kidney to Carson at this point instead of trying to find out why Carson got sick! Chapte des Actually, there was no need to look into it. It was obvious that Caroline was behind this.
But Antocould neither face the music nor admit his own mistakes.
The man who once stood tall, was now too scared to meet my gaze. "If you think the money is not enough, I can cup with more! Kidney transplants are a piece of cake with today's medical tech. What's the I had to give it to Antonio. His brazenness was something else.
If it was a piece of cake, why was he so dead set on Mollie being the one to give up her kidney? Was it because it'd be a freebie from his own daughter? Or was this his way of getting back at Mollie for not sticking around him back then? Seeing I wasn't taking the bait, Antothought I was all about the cash and started the money transfer.
I gave him a look of disdain. "Mollie is my flesh and blood, not a toy you can just take! If she doesn't want to go with you, don't even think about forcing her. And don't you even think about hurting her, even if you're her dad!" Antopaused, his fingers hovering over the transfer button. "Looks like you're not satisfied with the amount! I'll add another 16 thousand dollars, but that's my final offer!" 'I locked eyes with him, the anger insidebubbling over again.
While I was calming down, he nonchalantly tacked on three more times that amount. "Grace, don't get too grasping. 48 thousand dollars should be enough to keep you comfortable for the rest of your life in that damn place. Your brother has the money, but if ur life in to spend." like it's yours Mollie, sensing my rising anger, let Antohave it. "Who cares about your lousy money? Uncle Duncan has real estate and land all over the place and Uncle Tristan is a famous doctor. Uncle Nathan is in charge. of satellite launches out in the desert. Do you really think my mom can't cup with 48 thousand dollars? Her spending cash in a month. is..." I put a lid on Mollie before she could spill the beans.
She caught on fast and zipped it.
At the mention of her uncles, her face lit up with a grin.

Perhaps it was from being bossed around by Antowhen she was little, with him using his dad status as an excuse, but now she was giving him a smug look. When I whisked Mollie away, she was seven years old.
She might have been fragile, but she was no fool.
Her childhood with Antonio? Not so much fun. And withworking my tail off to make ends meet, she was stuck in a pretty bleak place for a good six months, which messed her up pretty bad. But she was a bright kid, and even though she should've been living it up with her folks, she kept her chin up and madeproud.
Life turned a corner, and I got to reunite with my three brothers We all chipped in and slowly, but surely, we helped Mollie bounce back. Recalling how my brothers pampered us, I couldn't suppress a smile.
But Antofigured we were playing hardball to jack up the price, and he couldn't keep the disgust out of his eyes He kept trying to charm Mollie, "Mollie, don't let your mom fool you.
If she had the money, she wouldn't have left you in that damn place. Cwith me, and I swear you'll get the sas Carson Whatever he's got, it's yours for the taking..."
