Damn, that sad backstory was unexpected especially the argument scene is so well crafted. It seems like the author is good at putting onions on his dishes.
Mark closed his eyes, as if to picture the scene clearly. "She lay in bed, frail… so small compared to the vibrant woman I remembered. Her once-strong hands, which used to lift me as a kid, were now thin and trembling, resting on a blanket that seemed too heavy for her fragile frame.

His younger brother will carry this with him, especially after being betrayed like this.
In the corner, his mother cried, clutching his younger brother, who looked up at Mark with wide, betrayed eyes. The silent accusation in his gaze pierced through Mark like a dagger.

I think it’s pretty reasonable for his dad to ask him to help his brother, especially since he can afford it.
