The Debt of Blood
No being late, no leaving early for an entire month, and I would get 50 bucks.
However, 50 dollars was not even one-tenth of the hospital bill.
"Dad…" I struggled to sit up.
He frowned and pressed me back down. "Don't move. If you break any equipment, that's more money."
Just then, a gentle voice came from the bed next to mine.
"Careful, it's still hot. Don't burn yourself. No one's taking it from you."
I turned my head. A boy about my age, wearing the same school uniform, was leaning against his bed. His dad stood beside him, holding a thermos. Spoonful by spoonful, he blew on the chicken soup to cool it before bringing it to his son's lips.
