the cocoon of lies

A word of advice.

Grace, I will like to tell you something before I go back. please Draw closer to me. I know you have already informed me about your pending fees but I want you to bear with us this term. Your mother's health will have to come first for now. The money for her treatment will consume most of what I have. You won't be able to sit for your exams at this time. But I promise if I came with money before then I won't hesitate to pay up. Father, I am willing to wait as much as my mother gets better. Thank you for understanding us. Okay, let me go and see things at home. I will be back in the evening time. When her father left, she began to think about what her father had said to her. She felt bad but she did her best to conceal what her father had told her. She felt her world crumbling before her. All the effort she had put into preparing for the exams will all now be a waste. She felt like crying and yelling but for the sake of her mother she held back everything within. I will stay calm until my mother gets back from the hospital. She was in thoughts, she didn't know when her mother opened her eyes and was watching all her facial expressions.
