Aurora pressed her lips together, her composure finally beginning to crack. "I just… I don't want you to suffer because of me."
Mary pulled her into a fierce embrace. "You are our daughter. There is nothing in this world we wouldn't do for you."
Aurora trembled slightly before allowing herself to rest against her mother's shoulder.
Adam exchanged a look with Mary, silent but filled with determination.
They would fight this.
No matter the cost.
No matter what it took.
What they missed was a determined look in Aurora's eyes.
Aurora gritted her teeth and muttered in her heart,
"No worries, I have the rebate system. I won't let parents bear all the burden..."
A hint of sadness appeared in Aurora's eyes before she quickly masked it.
Once the thoughts of financial burdens faded, Aurora's feet and hands turned cold.
The thought of getting her kidney removed made her listless.
