They said it was pancreatitis, and that the symptoms only developed because Yuri got a complication of the disease. Worry filled Penny's eyes as she stared at Yuri lying on the bed. The rest of the family was around as well; tears and fear brimmed their eyes as this had

been a shock to them.

Not so long ago, they were just living their lives normally until Yuri suddenly fell in pain while holding her stomach.

'I should've told her to get insurance and health cards. Penny sighed. But I was worried she would get me insurance and kill me.'n

"We can just start all over again," said Jessa's husband while massaging her shoulder. "For now, Yuri's

treatment is our priority."

"I know." Jessa held his hand on her shoulder. "Penny is invited to study in this school of the elites, but I'm still worried."
