Jasmin POV s
I didn't tell anything about Dexter's condition to Amy and let her sleep for tonight with her own little concern. I went to Pa's room after and saw him in tears. I felt bad knowing he heard our argument and fervently hugged him.
"Claryita…" he tried to speak despite the struggle of muscle paralysis.
"Someday everything will be alright…"
I waited until he too fell asleep and met Nadine on my out. "Hey."
She looked at me irritably and sighed deeply as if the burden of the world was in her shoulders, "Don't talk to me. What a damn unlucky night. Not even a single customer for today!"
I gulped. How could I ever tell her? Pressing back my anxiety, I spoke in spite of her warning, "Brother was taken to the hospital."
"Did he do something stupid again?"
"He was lethally stabbed. A-and…we need money for his surgery."
