He didn't stop sobbing.

"someone help me. My sister is in the hospital."
He repeated.

But no one even looked at him.
Why would they? He was just a little kid sitting on a pavement asking for money.
Society.

Fuck this society.

He didn't stop crying, and definitely didn't stop begging.
"Can someone please help me..?"

He muttered, sobbing.

3 Hours Later :

Noah started to feel cold, and tried to warm himself up as he looked through the hat to count how much money he was able to collect, and he was shocked.

1 dollar and 50 cents.
It will never be enough for his sister's surgery, or for a nice bed in the hospital.
Desperation filled him, mixed with heartbreak and sadness, as he realized that there was no hope to save his sister.

But he changed his mind as a woman in nice prestigious clothes walked up to him, and kneeled to his level.
"Hey, kid."

She said calmly, touching his shoulder.
"H-Hi.."
He managed to stutter out as she smiled sympathetically at him.
He wiped his tears away.
"I'm Liza. What's your name ?"
"Noah."

He replied.
"Since when you've been our here on your own ?"
She asked, sympathy filled her tone.
"a..few hours.."
He drifted off, thinking of Della again, his eyes started to fill up with tears again.

"C-Can you help my sister..please ?"
She looked up to him.
"Listen, Noah. I'm here to help only you, I can't find the time to two kids. So just..come with me. I want to take care of you."

He teared up more as he knew he had no choice. He can't just stay out there in the streets as it's going to get more dark and unsafe. Especially with no one to take care of him after Della.

"W-Will you protect me from my parents ?"
Her heart melted, and she nodded.

She stood up, and helped him, holding his hand.
Then they walked away.

In Another Place :

Noah entered the very nice, cozy and rather wide house with his mother, Lina.
"Wow.."
He said, smiling, looking around the house.
She smiled.

"I'm glad you like it."
She paused for a moment, and spoke softly, eyeing Noah.
"come on, I'll show you around."

His smile got wider, as they started walking around the house.

In Another Place :
The Hospital :

Della struggled to breath under the air mask, as the doctors gave her syringes to keep her alive.
The main doctor, Dr Lee, was talking to someone outside Della's room, and seemed to be satisfied, as he shook the man's hand.

The doctors gave each other confused looks and continued to do their work anyway, trying their best not to let her die due to Dr Lee's greed.

After a few moments that didn't seem to end, Dr Lee entered, smiling.
"Doctors. Do the surgery. We've got the money."

He smirked as the rest of them eyed him in confusion, waiting for an explanation..

To Be Continued..
