CHAPTER 6 — Lucy's Dream

Months passed.

Matthew and Lucy became inseparable friends.

Lucy helped him with conversations.

Matthew helped Lucy with math and science.

One afternoon, Alexander discovered Lucy studying engineering textbooks borrowed from the public library.

"You like engineering?"

Lucy nodded.

"I want to design technology that helps deaf children communicate more easily."

Alexander asked softly,

"Why?"

She smiled.

"Because someone should."

Those simple words reminded him how many years he had wasted.

The next morning...

Alexander announced a full scholarship in Lucy's name.

Not as charity.

As an investment.

"You've already changed one life," he told her.

"I believe you'll change thousands."

Lucy cried.

May you like

Her mother cried.

Even the house staff quietly applauded.
