Chapter 5

Seeing Mrs. Donald kneeling and thanking them makes the couple feel bad and Mrs. Kovacs rushes forward and helps her to her feet before saying. 

"Mrs. Donald it's okay, you don't have to kneel and thank us besides we are good friends and how do you want us to feel if we were to sit back and watch you run around trying to raise money for your husband's treatment and at the same time care for Jason's needs".

Hearing his wife's words Mr. Kovacs nodded with approval before asking.

 "About the bill that has been requested for his treatment, have you been able to raise the money for his treatment"?

"I told the doctor to continue with his treatment while I run around and his coworker is also helping out but we are still far from getting enough money requested for the treatment tomorrow I will hand over the money at hand before looking for a way to raise more money needed to complete the treatment fee" replied Mrs. Donald while wiping tears from her eyes.

"So how much was needed for the treatment"? asked Mr. Kovacs.

"Six thousand dollars was needed for the treatment but so far, we have been able to raise two thousand and five hundred dollars" replied Mrs. Donald.

"Okay before going to the hospital come by, I will be leaving some money with my wife to give you for the treatment" said Mr. Kovacs.

After hearing what Mr. Kovacs just said, Mrs. Donald once again started thanking them before sitting down on the sofa and started watching tv series while having a conversation with the couple about the series. While they were busy watching the series , Jason and Max were also busy studying.

 After asking each other questions about the subject they were focused on studying and had already understood the question, they switched to another subject which they focus on studying until they find some questions which were difficult for them to understand, and they will jot it down on a note in hope of asking the teacher that is in charge of the subject when they meet her in school the next day to explain the question.

They study for some time and at the same time they also write down questions that are difficult to understand. After a long time of studying, they decided to call it a day and kept their book back in their bag before Max finally asked Jason.

 "hey Jason, let's play some game for a while before going downstairs" which Jason agreed on since his mother is not yet back unknown to him, His mother was already back from the hospital and is even waiting for him to round up with study so that they could head home together since it's already getting really dark outside which will not be a good time for a woman and her child to walk all the way home in the street.

Back in Max's room, the desktop was turned on by Max who was waiting for the desktop to complete booting before loading the game (plant vs zombie) after booting, he load the game and got up from the chair for Jason to sit down and play since he will be leaving soon. While they were playing Mrs. Kovacs came in to inform Jason that his mother is waiting for him downstairs, hearing that his mother was here to pick him up, surprised him but still, he stood up from the chair and followed Mrs. Kovacs to the living room with Max tagging along.

When they got to the living room, Jason could see his mother watching a movie and discussing with Mr. Kovacs before walking towards her and greeted before sitting close to her. Seeing that Jason is done with studying, Mrs. Donald stood up from the sofa and picked up Jason's school bag before saying. 

"Mr. Kovacs, we'll be leaving now since it's getting late".

"Okay, take care of yourself, and don't forget to come tomorrow for what I promise you" replies Mr. Kovacs as he waves them off.

"How can I forget such an important matter?" replied Mrs. Donald with a chuckle.

Seeing that Jason is about to leave with his mother, Max quickly calls him to remind him about the questions they have prepared for their teacher before bidding them goodnight and heading to his room to continue with his game.

After leaving Mr. and Mrs. Kovacs's apartment, Jason and his mother begin to head home and since they live close to the Kovacs, they did not bother to stop for a cab to take them home.

" How was study today" asked Mrs. Donald after some moment of silence between the two.

"It was okay, I learned a lot today and even went in search of our math teacher with Max concerning an equation that we could not solve" replied Jason while happily recounting the event that took place at school.

"So my little prince gained a lot at school today"? Asked Mrs. Donald with a warm smile on her face.

"Mmm, so how is father doing?" Jason replied with a smile before asking about his father.

Hearing Jason asking about his father, Mrs. Donald smiled before answering him.

 "your father's condition is getting better. Besides, he can actually talk now without having any issue"

Jason became very happy upon hearing that his father can now talk to him and quickly asked his mother when she was going to take him to go and see his father.

"Well aunty will be coming to town to check on your father, so when she gets here you can follow her to the hospital to see your father if it's okay with you" reply Mrs. Donald.

"Aunty Mira is coming, when is she coming to see father"? asked Jason who was happy to hear his aunt whom he has not seen for 3 years is coming to check on them.

"I was waiting to tell you this when we get home but since you insisted on seeing your father, I decided to let you know that your Aunt will be coming this weekend" replied Mrs. Donald upon seeing the happy expression he had on his face.

They walked for some time before finally getting home. After unlocking the door Mrs. Donald turned on the light in the living room and kitchen and instructed Jason to go and take his bath before she went to the kitchen to prepare what they are going to eat for the night and at the same time, she also called Mr. Marcus to know if he is already at home and let him know that a friend is also helping them out with some money for the treatment.
