When I woke up in the hospital, Amanda and my mother were talking at the door. They were speaking softly, but I still heard them.
"Mom, I don't mean to sound harsh. But this had happen to Grace, her reputation will deteriorate. I have asked that guy and he doesn't mind it. He is nice and has a stable job. Look, Grace is not young anymore."
"Let's talk about it after Grace wakes up. I have to ask for her thoughts."
"She has been an old maid. Are you going to live with her and support her for the rest of your life? Come on, David and I are planning to have a child this year. We need a lot of money, you know?" Amanda's voice became sharp. "He said he doesn't mind Grace, and he even offered 200,000 dollars! If we refuse him, do you think anyone else will give 200,000 dollars?"
"Let me think about it." My mother's voice suddenly became much older and weaker.
Amanda stomped her foot furiously. "To be honest, she has been like this. Who would marry her? What else is there to think about?"
