Bilang kapalit, bibigyan kita ng financial compensation.” Napamaang si Nathalie. Compensation? Hindi niya naituloy ang pagtanggi. Naalala niya ang kapatid niyang naghihintay ng pambayad para sa gamutan. Isa pa, kaya naman talaga siya pumunta sa Zamora ay para humiram ng pera. Nakita ni Cedric ang pag-aalinlangan niya.

But even with his help, our company can't escape ruin. My father, unable to bear the blow, suffers a heart attack and dies. At the funeral, overwhelmed by grief, I faint. In my haze, I overhear a conversation between my childhood friend and his friend. "You've already crushed Talitha’s family. When are you going to take her uterus for Nellie?"
