Mom let out a deep sigh and continued her blabbering.

Meanwhile, I stayed on the line, unaffected by her rambling. Whenever she went on and on over the phone, I wished that I could just hang up.

 

“Anna, I quite like this boyfriend of yours. He knew that Dad’s undergoing medical treatment, and it’s a delightful surprise that he gave us a hundred thousand.”

My eyes almost popped out of my sockets. Did Mom just say that Yuval gave them a hundred thousand?

I’d never mentioned anything about my family to him, let alone Dad’s health condition. Thus, I couldn’t wrap my head around this.

 

“Mom, what’s going on? There’s no way he’s giving us money.”

Although I had a feeling that Yuval fancied me, to pay for my Dad’s medical fees was simply beyond the bounds of possibility.

“Well, he just did. He paid for your Dad’s operation before, didn’t he? Aren’t you a lucky girl to have such a wealthy boyfriend like him?”

 

Her words shocked me to the core. Wait… wasn’t it Michael who paid for the operation? Since when did it become Yuval? What the heck is happening?

Right at that moment, I was spiraling down the rabbit hole. Someone had given my parents a hundred thousand for nothing? Could it possibly be Michael? Nah, it can’t be him. Why would he do that? Moreover, he wouldn’t have let my family know about our unspeakable relationship.
