"Your mother is always busy but you've never made an excuse not to go see her," she said matter-of-factually. But then the turn of events was surprising. She sat there looking at him, stunned and hurt he would pull something like that. Oh her. Maybe on someone else, but her? Her expression was quite dangerous but she continued to keep her calm, "Don't you ever pull that on me again. I have never, nor will I ever, forget the things you've done to help me. But you need to be reminded of all the times I've helped you, apparently. I will do what I can and in your condition it'll probably take some time, but if I can't help you you'd better go to your mother." She stood up then and took their cups to the sink.
