Chapter 3: The Boy's Hidden Past
After the police left, the billionaire knelt beside the exhausted child.
"What is your name?"
"Ethan."
"Where are your parents?"
The boy hesitated.
"My dad died."
"My mom got sick last winter."
"I've been sleeping near the docks ever since."
The billionaire looked toward the old harbor workers.
Several quietly nodded.
"It's true."
"The kid survives by helping fishermen."
"He never steals."
"He earns every meal."
The billionaire felt ashamed.
Only an hour earlier...
His own security team had chased this child away like a criminal.
Now that same child had saved his life.
"What do you want in return?"
Ethan shook his head.
"I just didn't want anyone else to die."
The billionaire's eyes filled with emotion.
