Jean rubbed his hands and wanted to take a step forward. "Ms. Luca, how sweet of you. Let me help you carry those."

Nina blocked his way and gave him a stern look. “There's no need to. How shameless of you!”

Jean was embarrassed. Nina was not helping him even though he was his sister. She even wanted to stop him.

If he won Luca's heart, would he still need to depend on her?

Nina turned around and handed the things back to her. "Luca, I can't accept these.”

"I've already brought them here. Take them. These are good for Aunt Anna." Luca looked at Anna and decided to lend Nina a hand. "Aunt Anna, I remember you've been staying in the hospital for quite some time. Why aren't you having the surgery?"

Anna looked at Luca. She was plotting something in her heart. She wanted Luca to help her and matchmake Luca with her son.

"Sigh, I won't recover even if I go for the surgery. I'd still have to take medications. I can't afford to pay the medical expenses. I don't think I'll go for the surgery. I'd rather die." She cried while trying to take advantage of Luca's sympathy.

Nina inwardly accused her of being conscienceless after listening to what she said.

"How's that possible? Don't you have your son and daughter with you? Each of them can pay half of your medical expenses. That won't be too stressful for them," Luca replied. She could see Anna was trying to gain her sympathy.

If Anna wanted her to convince Nina, then Anna could not blame her for dragging Jean into this.

Was he going to be responsible for half of the medical expenses? It was not what they had planned in the first place!

He was even planning to ask for more living expenses from Nina. However, he did not expect that he now had to pay for half of the medical expenses. He wanted to say that he did not have any money on him, but he was too embarrassed to say that in front of Luca. He still had to take care of his image in front of her.

Jean could only bite the bullet and said, "Yes, Mom. Don't you have both of us? Trust me. Don't worry and just get the surgery."
