Tears streamed down Kari's face as she looked up at her brother. "Ronald, what do we do?"

Ronald wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into a comforting hug. "Don't be scared, I'm here." He had made up his mind; he was going to get Willa the treatment she needed.

That very day, Willa started her first round of treatments.

Ronald withdrew $50,000, handing it all over to the hospital to cover the initial medical expenses.

Kari had never seen so much money in her life. The thought that it was Ronald's savings made her heart ache even more. "Ronald, I'm so sorry."

This money was Ronald's scholarship funds.

He was always frugal, hardly ever spending on himself.

"Willa has looked after me all these years, just like my own mother would have. She deserves this," Ronald reassured Kari, pulling her close. "Willa's going to get better. You just focus on your studies, got it?"

Kari couldn't shake a bad feeling. "But Ronald, after spending all this money, how will you afford school?"

Ronald took a deep breath. "I've found a job out of town, it pays well."

"I'll earn enough for my tuition."

The situation drained Kari too. "Ronald, I promise, I'll study hard and make money for you."
