"I'll be out of town for work for a while," she thought for a moment and said first.
"Mmm," he nodded, seemingly feeling like he saw a glimmer of hope.
"Also, Tommy's illness... right now, Tommy's illness is the most important thing. I don't want to think about anything else."
He understood her meaning.
Her meaning was that if she came back from her business trip and had cured Tommy's illness...
Did that mean he might have a chance then?
At that thought, he immediately nodded, "No problem! You can go on your business trip for this month, and I will take good care of Tommy! After you come back and have cured Tommy's illness, I will help you too."

Had he perhaps misunderstood her and thought she was implying he could go ahead after that?
But when she saw the look of surprise and excitement in his eyes, she couldn't bear to dispute him and let him down.
