Their family could finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
“Thank you. Honestly, thank you so much…” Annabeth Cates’ cousin stammered as she cried.
In the next second, she hugged Sharon Lindt and started bawling her eyes out.
She knew that, from this moment on, the dark moments she had suffered for decades would soon come to an end.
It was truly incredible!
Everything was finally coming to an end.
She knew that she could lead a normal life again.
She began to swear an oath in her heart.
She swore that she would remember Annabeth and the Batton family’s kind deed for the rest of her life.
She’d be willing to die for them if that was necessary.
Annabeth gently hugged her cousin from behind. “Alright, stop crying. Good days are ahead of you. Shouldn’t you be smiling?”
Annabeth’s cousin repeatedly nodded, but she was still crying profusely…
Only god knew how long she had been waiting for this moment.
Initially, she thought that she would never be able to escape from that evil jerk.
“Thank you… Thank you…” Bobby also continuously thanked them.
Wilson Batton was also tearing up. “Alright… Stop being so courteous. We’re all family. We should also stop crying. This is something worth celebrating…”
Annabeth and Bobby nodded simultaneously.
“Slightly over ten thousand… But even so, we barely survive because that jerk would take away eight to nine thousand dollars from us each month. Sometimes, he’d even take all ten thousand dollars…” Annabeth’s cousin replied.
She hated the man even more, when she brought these things up.
“That sounds really tough. Have you thought about moving to Atlantis?” Sharon asked.
Annabeth’s cousin shook her head. “No, I haven’t. My son goes to school here. How could I move to Atlantis?”
“What if somebody makes arrangements for your son to study in a good school in Atlantis?” Sharon asked.
“That won’t do either… Good schools cost a lot of money. We can’t afford it,” Annabeth’s cousin said.
“What if somebody plans for your son to study in a good school, for you to live in a good area, and for you to work in a respectable job?” Sharon asked.
“That job will pay you much more than what you’re earning now…” Sharon added.
