Due to Dashiell's physical condition, even with artificial insemination, the resulting child would likely have some prenatal deficiencies.

I had people frequently tell Dashiell's child after birth about how much money could be earned abroad.

They emphasized how highly valued advanced degrees were overseas.

Melody saw that after the child was born, her life didn't become more stable, but rather more difficult.

She couldn't bear it and ran away with her ex-boyfriend's child.

Dashiell felt pressure from his family.

His current job couldn't cover the expenses at all.

So he thought about going abroad to make money.

After borrowing money to go abroad, he discovered that making money overseas wasn't as easy as he thought.

To pay off his debts and afford his child's medical treatment, he worked tirelessly without a moment's rest.

Eventually, he was fortunate enough to find work in a remote coal mine.

What he didn't know was that the coal mine was owned by my friend.
