I thought for a second before finally responding to the situation.
“Alright, so… How much would you need?” I asked curiously.
“I’m not sure how much we even get regularly; the money was usually either from the government or charities set up around here.” Amber replied quizzically.
“Hmm… Do you think 100 thousand will do?” I said, to which Amber replied with a most astonished look on her face.
“Mr. Soel, I-I d-don’t think we ca-”
“Did I ever tell you how much the name Mr. Soel sounds really old to me? Just call me Marshall.” I replied warmly.
“Marshall… I…”
“Listen; don’t even worry about the money. What you should worry about is making Lea comfortable for the rest of the time being that she’s here.” I consoled, with a hand to Amber’s shoulder.
“Thank you.” Was all that she said, before wrapping me in a surprise hug.
