Prometheus sat silent.
Ethan stood beside it.
“Lily.”
“Yes?”
“I promised your mother one hundred million.”
Mom shook her head.
“We don't need it.”
Ethan smiled.
“You do.”
He explained.
The money wasn't payment.
It was restitution.
For everything my family had suffered because of CrossTech.
Mom refused.

“Take it.”
She looked at me.
“Why?”

Dad smiled.
“Money is just a tool.”
I nodded.
“Then use it to help people.”
Mom finally accepted.
Ethan signed the papers.

I chose medical research.

Children whose families couldn't afford medicine.
Mom cried.
Ethan hugged her.
Then the laboratory doors opened.
The board members entered.
They were smiling.
