"Joe! Put this box here!" Ordered an old woman.
"Yes miss! "
"Jeez, I paid you not to slack off. You heard me?!"
"Yes miss!"
"Good. No get into work! Otherwise you won't get your payment."
"I'll work right away!"

Joe went back home after work. He looked at his house. It was so small and dreary, but Joe just smile it off and thought of how lucky he was to have a house.
As soon as Joe stepped into the house a girl was in the kitchen.
"I'm home! Nana, are you cooking?"
"Welcome home! How's your work? Did you did your job this time?"
"Yeah, sort of. More importantly, Nana, you shouldn't be cooking like this! You should lie down on your bed. Your health isn't too good. Didn't I told you to?"
"Yeah, you told me. But I just want to be some use to you, you know, since you are my brother."
"But that's not a valid reason for you to get up from your bed and do something this tiring. It could danger your health."
"You worry too much brother. Don't worry, I'll be fine. More importantly, isn't it the time for your next work?"
"Oh no, I'm late! Make sure you go to bed when you done, okay?"
"Okay! Be a diligent worker, brother."
He stormed out of his front door. As soon as he's out, Nana collapsed to her knees.
"Oh I'm so tired. I tried to help my brother, but I couldn't do anything for him. I'm useless. I know he tried to support us by working since both of our parents died in the attack against demon king, but he tried too hard to cover the medical expense for my treatment. I wish I don't have this illness. If I don't, I could prevent my brother from working so hard. I could have make his life easier.
What a bad sister I am."
