Chapter 1000:
But Allison insisted that Amya stay in the hospital for a few days of observation.
âYouâve been through a lot. A few days under observation wonât hurt,â she said, her tone leaving no room for debate.
âIâve also arranged counseling sessions. Trauma isnât always visible.â
Later, Allison approached Amyaâs bedside, placing a bank card in her hand.
âThis has four hundred thousand on it. Consider it a bonus for the work you did in Fleeingland.â
Amya was taken aback, staring at the slim card in disbelief.
âI canât accept this. You already pay me a salary. This is too much.â
But Allison was firm, gently closing Amyaâs hand over the card.
âTake it. Itâs well-earned. With this, you wonât have to worry about expenses for a long time.â
For Allison, the gesture was more than financial; it was a step toward offering Amya peace of mind.
Having faced hardships herself, Allison understood clearly what it felt like to be caught in a web of uncertainty.
After the Fleeingland Lab incident, Allison had come to see Amya as family.
Amya might be timid, but she was meticulous.
She also possessed an unparalleled skill with computers, making her an invaluable ally.
For Allison, spending hundreds of thousands to ensure Amyaâs loyalty was a small price to pay.
âBy the way, if you can, try not to contact your parents anymore.â
She paused, her expression briefly betraying her inner conflict. Bringing this up had weighed on her, but some truths couldnât remain buried.
For Amya to truly move forward, cutting ties with her toxic family was a necessary step.
âTheyâve never treated you the way you deserve. If youâre worried about your future, stay with me. As long as I have a home, youâll always have a place in it.â
Amya froze, her throat tightening as unexpected emotion welled up. Her nose stung, and she blinked rapidly to keep the tears at bay.
âDo you know everything?â she whispered, her voice raw with vulnerability.
Allison nodded solemnly. âIâve met them, Amya. They donât deserve to be called your parents. Theyâre just hopeless gamblers. Youâre nothing like them. You deserve better, a fresh start, and Iâm offering you one. Youâll always have a home here.â
Allison didnât push for an immediate answer.
She understood this was a decision Amya had to make on her own terms.
With a soft smile, she said, âTake a few days to rest. Iâll check in on you again soon.â
