Lucas picked up his phone again, glaring at the image that had irritated him earlier. A cold, disdainful glint flashed in his dark eyes.

Later that afternoon, Sidney received a frantic call from the caregiver.

"Sidney, what do we do? Your mother's been kicked out of the hospital! They said the medical bills have gone unpaid for too long, and they won't take her back."

Sidney shot up from his seat. "Where are you now?"

"We're at the hospital entrance. Your mother's passed out, but no one's coming to help her. Sidney, what should we do?"
