Carlos froze.
“What do you mean?”
Laura looked him straight in the eyes.
“That I’ll pay for the treatment.”
Carlos opened his mouth, but no words came out.
“But… ma’am… that’s too much…”
Laura hit her head.
“No.”
She looked seriously at the girl.
“It’s too much that a father has to choose between working… or saving his daughter.”
Carlos’s eyes began to fill with tears.
“I don’t know how to thank you.”
Laura replied calmly.
“Take good care of your family.”
She paused.
“And go back to work when you can.”
Carlos lowered his head.
“I’ll never forget this.”
