"What do you mean by living far away?" Alice tried her best to maintain her composure, yet it was incredibly clear that she was shaken.
Tommy scratched his head. "Well, her sister, Laura, received a half-tuition scholarship for a famous middle school in another country. For the past two years, she's been living overseas and only occasionally comes back."
"Yes, Laura is incredibly smart like her sister. However, the tuition for the school overseas is incredibly expensive, so Kanae has to work to support her sister," Misae continued.
As someone who has been by Kanae's side for quite some time, Misae knew much more than Alice. Misae met Laura a few times in the past when Laura returned to the city. She didn't know the full story about Laura, but she knew that Kanae has been working hard mainly for that girl.
