“We’re here,” Nina said hurriedly.

The nurse came over while wheeling Anna’s gurney. “We’ve completed all the tests on the patients, and we’ll move her back to the emergency ward for now. The results will be ready in half an hour, and the doctor will discuss the treatment plan with you after that.”

“Alright.” Nina walked over to the gurney and helped the nurse wheel Anna into the emergency ward.

Luca walked next to Nina and held her handbag. Jean, on the other hand, followed behind them. His gaze turned perverse and sinister as he ogled Luca’s body.

He could tell that Luca was in a different league than Nina.

Nina relied on Percy for money. Luca seemed independent. Otherwise, she would not have dressed so modestly.

If he could get her to become his girlfriend, he would not have to worry about money for the rest of his life.

Luca’s fists slowly clenched up as she sensed the gaze behind her. However, she had to remain composed when she was with Nina.

She was not the meek little girl from before. Jean had always found ways to hurt her, but he would not be able to do so now.

If he dared to do anything, Luca would not hesitate to take away his masculinity!

Nina went into the emergency ward with Anna. While they waited for the test results, Anna woke up. She looked at Nina and said nothing, then she looked around the ward for Jean.

When she saw Jean, she asked, “Where’s my handbag?”

Jean knew that she was concerned about the money inside. He pointed at the handbag and said, “Your handbag is with me, Mom. Don’t worry. No one touched the contents inside.”

Anna was relieved to hear that.

Nina was both angry and humiliated when she heard their conversation. To them, was money more important than a person’s life?

“You can’t use that money,” Anna nodded and said weakly.

She stopped speaking after that. Then, she closed her eyes and fell asleep. She was relieved as long as no one touched her money.

Nina turned her head away and sniffled.

She had always wanted to solve her family’s problems, but she was helpless against situations like these.

Luca knew that she was feeling down. She handed the handbag to Nina and smiled empathically.

Nina was comforted by Luca’s warm smile. Sometimes, an empathic smile was better than a thousand words. Luca had seen the situation in Nina’s family, yet she did not pass judgment or try to comfort her with empty platitudes.

Nina was familiar with that feeling. It was as though Bianca was standing next to her.

Half an hour later, the doctor came to the ward with Anna’s test reports.

Nina’s expression gradually dropped as she listened to the doctor.

Anna’s condition was deteriorating. The liver transplant three years ago had been a success, but it was starting to give her problems again.

In the worst-case scenario, she would require a second transplant.

When Luca heard that, she asked, “Is a transplant the only solution? Aren’t there any less intrusive methods?”

“We’ll treat the patient with non-intrusive methods for now. If her condition doesn’t improve, we might have to consider another transplant,” the doctor said.

Nina remained worried even though the doctor said that a transplant might not be necessary. Belongs to - All rights reserved.

After everything that had happened to her in the past three years, her optimism was nowhere to be seen. What was left was endless pessimism.

“That’s good to hear, Doctor,” Luca said.

“I’ll prescribe her some medication for now. If the medication works, she’ll be taking that for the long term. If her condition continues to decline, we can still arrange for a transplant. I’ll leave the decision up to you,” the doctor said.

Luca sneaked a glance at Nina. Her expression remained wooden, as though she could not accept the fact.

Anna had relentlessly bullied Nina over the years, and the only reason why Nina cared for Anna was their blood ties. Now, Anna needed her help again.

“We’ll follow what you say,” Nina said.

“Alright. You can go and apply the inpatient procedure with the patient’s documents. Then, hand the receipt to the nurses’ station, and someone will come and bring her to her room,” the doctor said and handed Nina the admission form.

If Anna had to be hospitalized, it meant that Nina needed to come up with more money.

Luca took the form and said, “I’ll handle it.”

“Sorry to trouble you,” Nina said and nodded. She had not a single cent on her now.

Luca went to the payment counter and settled the payment. Then, she gave the receipt to Nina. Everything after that was none of her business.

She did not want to be a nuisance to them, so she told Nina that she would be leaving.

When Jean heard that, he went to her eagerly and said, “I’ll send you back, Ms. Craw.”

“Don’t worry about it. If you have time, you should spend it on your mother,” Luca said as she glanced at Anna on the bed. She could tell that her complexion was terrible.

Any liver problems would be reflected in one’s complexion.

Luca was quite perplexed. A liver transplant patient would have to return to the hospital regularly for check-ups, and the doctor would diagnose any problems and treat them as soon as possible.

However, Anna’s condition seemed quite serious. The decline of her condition was easily seen on her face, so how could they be so careless?

Luca thought for a while and understood. If Anna only cared about money and Jean cared about bullying his younger sister, no wonder Anna’s condition was allowed to decline.

Nina rarely went home because she did not want to face her mother or brother, and there was no use relying on Jean to take care of Anna.

Jean did not give up. “Don’t be like that, Ms. Craw. You’ve helped us a great deal today. At least let me return the favor.”

The next moment, Luca’s expression turned frigid. “Save it. You’re going to send me back in a cab anyway. I might as well catch a cab on my own.”

Jean felt humiliated by Luca’s words. His gaze instantly became distant.

Luca did not care. She hoped that he would give up.

“It’s not safe to take a cab alone…” Jean remained insistent.

Nina could not bear watching the cringeworthy scene. She said, “I’ll send Dr. Craw home. You stay here and take care of Mom.”

“Why?” Jean was unwilling.

“I have to go home later to bring Mom’s toiletries. I can’t expect you to have brought them, or are you planning to buy them here? If you can give me the money to buy the toiletries, I’ll stay here and take care of Mom,” Nina said.
