"It was a request from an acquaintance. It seems he needed money to support his mother and younger sister, who were ill. But with that timid personality of his, he could not find any suitable work no matter what he tried. In the end, he was apparently pushed to the point where he thought selling his own body was the only option."
It must have been an extremely harsh life.
"What about his father?"
"It was awful. He ran off with another woman. He was a drunkard and apparently the worst kind of man. It was better that he left, but then the mother's health collapsed instead. Even after finally finding work, all the money went to medicine. They struggled even to eat, and he still could not keep a job. An acquaintance could not bear to watch anymore and came asking if there was any way to take him in."
"I see. As expected of Grandma."
She could have refused, but instead she chose to employ him.
Smiling softly, Qiong Xing spoke, but Katarina only gave a wry smile in response.
