Through Hardship

Xavier Got up early to prepare breakfast and medecine for his grand father and when Xavier put the medecine he notice that the medecine kit for his grandfather is almost empty so he check the balance in his bank account..

"It's not enough to buy grandpa's medecine""

And then got up and look around his room as if he is looking for something and then he saw a beautiful watch on top of the table and it is from her mom who gave it to him as a birthday present... Xavier took it of and then left the house...

" Grandpa... I'll be off real quick... Make sure you eat your breakfast and drink your medecine after!!!....

Xavier close the door and walk to the nearest shop...

" ahm...S--sir how much is it when i sell this watch? ""

" i think about 500 Peso ( Peso/Pesos Philippine currency)

" ahh... Ahmm... Are you sure??... I mean it cost 2000 Pesos when my mom buys it for me?...

" well it's old model and it looks pretty cheap so what can we do?... If you don't want to sell it then don't!!!

"" aaa... N--no i will sell it.. I will sell it.. "

Xavier took off the money and go to the nearest pharmacy....

" it should be enough for grandpa's one week medecine for now... Besides i will receive my salary this coming weekend""

When Xavier got in front of the door he saw his granpa laying on the ground and run towards him

"" Granpa what happen!!!... ""

When he sees his grandfather's out of breath

And in pain he cry out loud and shout...

"help!! please.... help us""!!

Thankfully the neighbours heard the scream and called the ambulance when they heard Xavier screaming non stop

"" thank you auntie for calling the ambulance if it weren't for you my grandpa will be in danger...

"don't worry... If you need anything just call us anytime... We'll be there...."

"" Th--thank you again"

When the doctor walk towards him
