"Now it's starting to compress the cranial nerves. You should be prepared.

"First settle the expenses for this time."

Noah held my hand tightly. "I'll go pay. You stay outside and accompany grandma."

"Noah, thank you."

Noah said nonchalantly as usual. "Don't thank me. We're family."

Sitting by grandma's bedside, I calculated all the money in my bank cards.

No matter how I calculated, I couldn't come up with enough money for the next surgery.

Noah's salary was not high either. His previous savings had been used up.

There seemed to be no way except borrowing money.

"Una."

Grandma woke up and reached out for me. Her rough fingertips relieved me.

"Grandma, are you uncomfortable?"

Grandma smiled.

"Una, you must have spent much money this time. Don't treat me anymore. Save some money for yourself."

Tears uncontrollably streamed down my face as I buried myself in grandma's arms.

"Grandma, it doesn't matter how much money I have to pay. I just hope you are well.

"Don't worry about money, I'm in the entertainment industry. I can earn a lot of money!"

Grandma smiled even more happily when she heard that.

"Una, you're beautiful and talented. You achieved good grades in school since you were a child and now you earn a lot.

"I'm so happy for you."

At this time, Noah came back.

"What happy thing are you talking about? Share with me."

Grandma called Noah over.

"Noah, you're back. Come. We family should spend time together.

"Noah, I have Una accompanying me recently. You should consider yourself more. You are already twenty-seven. You ought to date more."

Noah poured a glass of water for grandma. "I don't want to date. I just want to be with you and"

He paused for a moment and added, "Una."

I noticed his feelings for me and jokingly retorted, "I'm not a child. I don't need you to company."

Grandma looked outside and interrupted us. "It's evening now, I really crave the buns from downstairs."

Noah smiled and said, "I see, Grandma. I'll go buy them for you."

After Noah left, I massaged grandma's arm and teased, "Grandma, you make Noah run errands upon his coming. Let me do that next time."

Grandma looked at me quietly. After some time, she slowly spoke,

"Una, do you have feelings for Noah?

"Although he is your brother, you have no blood relation. Noah is a good young man. You grew up together since childhood. You're very intimate.
