"Your half-brother?" Nina asked.

"Yeah." Luca did not know what to say, so she decided to use Amur as an excuse.

"To be honest, I envy you a lot. You and your brother are not related by blood but you're so close. Even those who are related by blood may not have as deep a relationship as the two of you," Nina sighed.

Luca knew that she was lamenting about her relationship with Jean. Their relationship was worse than those who were unrelated.

"What did your brother do?" Luca asked. She had been busy with a lot of things in the last couple of weeks. Since Percy had sorted out most of Nina's issues, Luca had not been checking in on her.

After her loud sigh, Luca remembered that Nina had problems with her relationship and family.

Especially with Jean.

"Jean? All he does is think of new ways to ask me for money." Nina sounded helpless as she said, "Since he couldn't get the money from me, he'd go ask Percy for it. I told Percy to not give him a single cent, so he has no choice but to ask my mother now."

"Did he succeed?" Luca knew that Anna was still in the hospital.

"Yeah, he did. If he cries in front of her a few more times, my mother will probably be willing to give her life for him. The medical expenses I set aside were all taken out by my mother and given to him. Do you know what happened next? There's no money in the account to be debited, so the hospital called me." Nina chuckled. There would never be a solution to the problems in her family unless Anna decided to be ruthless and ignored Jean.

"I assume that you've stopped depositing money into that account now, right?" Luca asked.

Nina put the cleaned bowls aside and started to tidy up the cutleries. "No, but I've gotten smarter. I don't deposit too much at a time, and I told the hospital that only I can touch the money in the account. That way, my mother will run out of money for him to squander."

"That's smart," Luca said. There would be no good ending to Anna spoiling Jean like that.
