"Hello chéri!"
"Hi."
". . . Are you okay?"
"Yeah."
"Come on, do not lie to me."
". . . You were right."
"What do you mean I was right?"
"As in you were right."
"I need a little more context than that."
". . . My mother told the doctors to lie to me."
". . . Oh my goodness. Why?"
"To you know, "protect me". She never cared about protecting me before. But now all of a sudden, she wants me to be "happy" and "safe"."
"What happened?"
"When they called me in a few days ago-when our calling was cut short-they brought me into my mother's room and left. She was sitting there and staring at me with a nervous look. She then proceeded to tell me that she lied. That she has had sepsis for a year now. That she had to make the doctors lie, so I wouldn't find out."
"That is messed up."
"I know! Then she proceeds to say that she did it to keep me "safe" and "happy" and "secure". I don't know what to believe anymore."
". . . Why would the doctors agree to lie?"
"She paid them. A lot."
"Oh."
"But what's more annoying is that we're not rich. We're not poor, but we aren't extremely rich either. The amount of money she paid them is just-crazy. Which makes me think about what her job really is, or how she really got that money."
"I wish I knew what to say . . ."
"You don't have to say anything biscotto. You being here for me is enough."
"I am glad, I am here for you."
"I'm extremely glad."
