"You'll have plenty of time to live this kind of life in the future," I said, nudging her gently with my head. Trust me."

"Maddie, Bran can be really stubborn and not great with words. Please don't get upset with him," Ellie suddenly said with a hint of emotion.

I thought she was worried about the surgery, and I was just about to comfort her when she continued, "I know you've been purposely punishing him th Her words made me a bit embarrassed, so I poked her playfully. "Kid, where do you get all these ideas?

Don't overthink it."

"Maddie, don't be fooled by my age. I've read a ton of romance novels. I get it. I understand everything," she said with a confident smile.

I didn't deny it anymore. "Yeah, he was being too stubborn, so I let him deal with the consequences.

Besides, he has been a bachelor for over 30 years. What's a few days? You don't need to feel sorry for him.

"He's my brother. He'd give his life for me. How can I not feel sorry for him?" Ellie said while taking a lick

of her ice cream. "He's the best brother in the world, and he's also the best man."

Her words hit me right in the heart, and I almost teared up. "I'll take good care of him."

"Yes, I believe you. I knew it from the moment I first saw you." Her praise caught me off guard.

"Alright, don't overthink things then. Focus on getting better. Once you're healthy, the two of us can spoil him together and make him the happiest brot

Ellie shook her head. "Let's save that for when I'm better. After that, we can stay at the tallest hotel here, where I can reach out and touch the stars."Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Her childlike words made my eyes sting with emotion. “Alright, we'll find a place where you can lie down and watch the stars."

She insisted on going to the hospital, and neither Brandon nor I could change her mind, so we took her there.

I sent Lisa a message in advance, and when we arrived, she immediately took us to the inpatient ward while Brandon handled the paperwork.

Once everything was arranged, Ellie started shooing us away. "Bran, Maddie, you can go home now."

"I'm staying here." Brandon was unwilling to leave her alone.

"Bran, what about Maddie?" Her question made Lisa burst into laughter.

She went on, "Bran, you should go be with Maddie. Don't forget you promised me you'd have a baby, so you two need to hurry up. But really, it's most This time, I couldn't hold back my laughter either.

With both Lisa and I laughing, Brandon's ears turned red again.

He stepped forward and gently tapped on Ellie's forehead. "Shush!"

Ellie turned to me. "Maddie, Bran's being mean to me.'

I was just about to step in and pull Brandon away when the door to the room opened, and Keith walked in Dressed in white, he entered with an almost dazzling presence, and¶ admit that I was momentarily stunned.

Lisa was also surprised. "Keith, what brings you here so late?"

“I'm here to check on the patient,” Keith said as he walked to the bedside, where Ellie's bright, watery eyes were fixed intently on him.
