Jean could only relent.

He did not want to spend his own money, but Nina did not have any money with her either.

Seeing that Jean had nothing else to say, she took Luca’s hand and led her out of the ward.

The two women went to the basement parking lot without saying a word. After they got into Nina’s car, Nina broke the silence. “I’m sorry that you had to see that.”

“It’s fine,” Luca said as she fastened her seatbelt. “Every family has its own problems. I can understand that.”

Nina sighed as she stepped on the gas pedal. She said, “That brother of mine isn’t anyone decent. I think he has his eye on you, so you ought to be careful. Let me know if he starts harassing you. I’ll give him an earful.”

“He can’t harass me,” Luca said. She was not going to hold back.

She thought that Nina had nothing to apologize for. After all, her brother was irredeemable…

If she had not appeared at the hospital today, Jean would not have set his sights on her.

“In any case, you’ll have to be careful. He’s been a different person ever since he got out of prison. Even I have to be wary of him,” Nina said. If she did not, Jean might have looted the mansion clean.

Luca smiled. “Maybe he needs a job.”

“I’ve recommended him to a few places, but he’s greedy and lazy. He can’t do anything well, so I eventually gave up,” Nina said with a sigh.
