Chapter 507 Be a Lamb
"What's wrong?" Ava asked in confusion, "Do you have a bad relationship with your family?"
Seeing Eason's silent expression, Ava seemed to understand something. "I'm sorry. I didn't know. If you have a bad relationship with your family, then I won't contact them."
Everyone's family situation was different, and not all family members were worth contacting. She wouldn't demand Eason to be like a saint. Many times, not getting along with family was not the child's fault.
Eason smiled helplessly, "Sister, I don't have a family."
"What did you say?" Ava was shocked. "You don't have a family?"
Eason nodded. "Yes, when I was very young, my parents passed away. I had to live with my uncle and aunt, but they thought I was a burden," He smiled bitterly, "Anyway, now that I'm an adult, I live alone."
"So, that's how it is." In this situation, Eason must have had a hard time. She always thought he was a cheerful boy with talent, and his family must be very proud of him.
"Sister, I'm sorry I didn't tell you at the beginning."
"It's okay," Ava said gently, "It's normal for you not to tell me. Since that's the case, then you can rest assured in the hospital. I will find someone to take care of you."
"Don't bother, sister. I will take care of myself. I don't have much money to pay for a caregiver's salary."
"It's okay. I will pay for it. Take it easy and have a good rest."
Upon hearing what Ava said, Eason was surprised. "No, sister. How can I let you spend money? It will definitely cost a lot."
"Eason, it's alright. This money means little to me, but it could assist you. You need to be taken care of currently, and if it weren't for William's recovery, I would have personally looked after you for a few days. However, my duty lies with him now, so I must arrange for a caregiver. Please accept my goodwill in this matter."
"Sister, how much money did you spend? I will pay you back. I don't want to take advantage of you."
Ava knew that Eason probably didn't have much money at the moment. She said gently, "I haven't calculated it yet. I will tell you when I do. And you don't need to worry now because I have confidence in you. I know you are a genius, and you will definitely earn a lot of money in the future. I see it as an investment. If you succeed in the future, don't forget to thank me."
Ava deliberately said that, hoping to make Eason feel better.
However, Eason also saw through her intentions. "Sister, I know you're saying this to make me feel better. Thank you anyway. I will definitely pay you back, and I will work hard to earn money."
"Do not worry." Ava gently pulled up the covers on him. "Let's not rush anything. Once you are financially stable, then we can talk. Could you be a good boy and listen to me, as if I were your elder sister?"
Eason obediently nodded. "Okay."
Eason bit his lip, looking a bit sad, and turned his head away.
"What's wrong?" Ava asked worriedly, "Are you feeling unwell again? I'll call a doctor to check on you."
Eason shook his head. "No, sister, I just..."
"Just what?" Ava asked.
"Sister, I don't have any family. Will you cast me aside, deeming me an orphan neglected since childhood? Will you regret having me as your brother?"
