Chapter 12 - Daydreaming (2/2)

”I will ask in the kitchen to arrange your breakfast, Mr. Collins.” By the end butler Oliver could finish, the young man had disappeared.

Linus passed through a few rooms before he pushed the master bedroom door without knocking on it. ”Bro…” His voice trailed looking at the people in the room.

He was stupefied. He needed time to accept his brother aka cousin, let so many people enter his bedroom. He got scolded many times for entering without permission and deadly glares for asking permission.

Nevertheless, as soon as his eyes settled on the lady on his brother's king-sized bed, his jaw dropped and his eyes widened, almost popping them out of the socket.

'I must be dreaming. A lady in my brother's room on my brother's bed. I am daydreaming.'

He glanced at the stoic face of his brother and then at the lady. He still couldn't believe his eyes. He rubbed his eyes repeatedly and narrowed his eyes to identify that she was the single mom they dealt with on the previous evening.

Suddenly recalling Bernard mentioning that the single mom was kidnapped, his shocked voice raised, ”Bro, are you the one who…” He slapped his lips when Alvin's eyes dangerously narrowed at him.

'Linus, you better escape.' He thought while forcing an awkward smile forgetting he was covering his lips.

He pointed to the room door behind him and ran out. He didn't forget to close the door. He looked very confused. He should be thrilled thinking his brother broke his stupid norms for somebody but he wasn't.

'Am I envious?' Linus shuddered at his thought.

He walked in the corridor trying to fathom the situation. His handsome face was graced with shock, amusement, disbelief, and whatnot.

'Did I see the worry on Brother Alvin's face? Woah...' Linus found it hilarious.

He quickly fished his mobile out and dialed his father, Bernard Collins. He didn't report immediately, ”Dad…” He waited for his father to speak.

[Speak…]

”Bro brought the lady. She is sleeping right now.” He didn't mention 'kidnap' or 'unconsciousness' if Bernard's call was tapped. ”You should relax, Dad. Later, we will talk the rest.” He hurriedly said and hung up the call without waiting for a response.

He eagerly waited for the housekeeper, the doctor and the nurse to leave the room. So that he could barge inside and get all the details.
