Michael had said to use the money prudently so it would last Zen through the birth of her child. Wendy felt like rolling her eyes at him. Two hundred thousand was enough to last a regular family at least ten years! Michael had been born into a wealthy family and obviously had no concept of money.
However, she gave credit where it was due and firmly patted Michael on his shoulder. "Well done, you thought of everything," she commended him with a smile.
Wendy closed the case and passed it to Zen. Two hundred thousand in notes was quite heavy after all. Putting the case next to Zen, she said, "Take this with you."
"I cannot take..." Zen wanted to reject the money. She was too embarrassed to accept money from Michael and Wendy.
"Do you have any money on you?" Wendy asked.
"Yes, don't worry," replied Zen.
"Take it out and show me," Wendy persisted.
