Yehua continued, “Dr. Legare understands this as well. He has siblings, so he’d rather give them financial support and let them take good care of his parents.”
“That way, his parents won’t constantly come to the city to see him and disrupt his work. His siblings also understand—he’s the highest earner in the family. If his parents come frequently and interfere with his schedule, it would affect his income, which wouldn’t benefit anyone.”
After a moment of silence, Yehua said quietly, “My own parents are similar. I understand these dynamics, and I know how to handle them. Thank you for the reminder, Dr. Pollock.”
They were both adults. They had made their choices and were prepared to take responsibility for them—regret or not.
Aitana nodded. “It’s good that you’ve thought it through.”
They weren’t especially close—just acquaintances. Aitana’s words came from genuine concern, offered from a woman’s perspective.
Whether Yehua accepted the advice or not, Aitana wouldn’t say anything more.
