I had been sending 1.5 million pesos each month to my mother to take care of my wife after childbirth.

—Hue.

She looked up.

“I’m sorry.

“Why?”

“Because it took me so long to see it.

Hue shook his head.

“It wasn’t your fault.

I looked at her.

“From now on… No one will starve you again.

She smiled faintly.

“Not even you,” I added.

Hue let out a small laugh.

The baby eventually fell asleep.

For a few minutes, the three of us remained silent.

Then Hue said something I’ll never forget.

“Today… for the first time since our son was born…

He paused.

“I feel like we’re really home.

I hugged her gently.

And at that moment I understood something important.

Money can buy many things.

But true care…

It always comes from the heart.
