For real, so that he would want to live, so that he would want to fight.
Ivan Petrovich, of course, wasn’t sure of anything, but he decided to try. And it seemed to him that Tanya was the perfect candidate for this.
— Tatyana, you will live wonderfully, you will have everything, your daughter will undergo all the necessary examinations. I am offering you a job for a year. After a year, you leave no matter what, whether Stas gets better or not. I will pay you very well.
Tatyana couldn’t even find words out of indignation, but Ivan Petrovich apparently understood everything:
— Tanya, I’m asking you, please help, agree. This is a mutually beneficial offer. I’m not even sure that my son will touch you, but it will make you feel better knowing you’re not “all that indecent.” Besides, you will be officially married. Just imagine that you simply married for reasons other than love. I only ask for one thing: whatever decision you make, let this conversation remain between us.
— Wait, Ivan Petrovich, I’m just curious: does your Stas agree to all this?
The man smiled sadly:
— He said he doesn’t care. I’ll lie that I have problems with my business, or my health, or something else. I just need him to be married, for real. Stas has always believed me, so this deception will be for the greater good.
Ivan Petrovich left, and Tanya sat for a long time. In her soul, she was indignant at such a proposal, but his direct words seemed to smooth the edges a bit. If you think about it, what is she capable of for Sonechka? A lot. And he… He is also a father, and he also loves his son.
Before her shift was even over, Tanya got a call:
— Tanyusha, quick, Sonechka is having an attack, and a very strong one! I’m running, I’ll call an ambulance.
Tanya and the ambulance arrived at the gate at the same time.
— Where have you been, mother? — the doctor looked at her sternly.
— I was at work…
