Do you say this?

Could you tell me wheter the sentence below is correct or not?

Because his father is busy to work, Bill has come to depend on his brother than he has ever done.

My correction is:
Because his father was busy with his job, Bill came to depend on his brother than ever before. (If I need to use "than")

or

Bill came to depend on his brother more and more because his father was busy with work.

Original answer is:
Bill came to depend on his brother all the more because his father was busy with his job.

Thank you in ahead.

Dear Mister Micawber,

Thank you so much for your correction!
I really appreciate your help.
It's difficult for me as a non-native to correct other one's English.
Even myself still make a lot of mistakes, as you see.

Thanks again,
M
