Tiana sighed. "Of course we're worried! What happened? How did you end up with a stomach perforation all of a sudden?" "It's nothing, I just had a bit too much to drink," Maria explained, her voice light but tired.

"That's my fault," Herman interjected, his face filled with concern as he looked at Maria. "I should've made sure you ate something." Tiana's eyes widened as she turned to her brother. "Wait, you were with her when she was drinking?"

"Yeah," Herman admitted.

Tiana immediately gave him a light punch on the arm. "Why didn't you stop her? Drinking on an empty stomach is dangerous!"

"It's my fault," Herman said quietly.

"Stop arguing, I'm fine now," Maria said, waving her hand weakly. "I'll be more careful next time."

Tiana crossed her arms. "I don't care. It's my brother's responsibility to take care of you until you're fully recovered. If not, I'll tell Mom and Dad that he's been mistreating girls!" Maria was taken aback. "That's really not necessary..."

Tiana shook her head. "It's settled."

She turned to Herman. "Don't you think that's the right thing to do?"

Herman nodded. "It's only fair."

Maria sighed in resignation.
