Half a year passed, and I continued to be the twins’ private tutor My university club senior who introducedMy senior and the twins’ fa time family friends, and they had known each other since they were little He said that the tere very difficult to get along with and were very treacherous people; however, I siot that impression Zhao Yi Bo’s attitude was always friendly, and even though Zhao Yi Xuan never took the initiative to talk, he neverclass As for the honed every session, the twins always completed it on time

After knowing the, I started to see theh and wonder why my own little brother couldn’t even be half as well-behaved as they were, which was pretty bad of me to think of as his older sister

From my senior’s words, I also ca the Zhao family

I listened to my senior explain that the heads of the Zhao family were married due to business interests, and they simply didn’t love each other Each of them respectively had their own livelihoods and lovers, and they now lived outside of the country For the twins, this was like saying that their parents had practically abandoned them in Taiwan In the Zhao family mansion, the only residents were the two brothers and the icy butler that took care of them

After I heard my senior say this, I felt really bad for the twins Even though their parents were still alive and they had a ridiculous amount of money at home, they weren’t all that different from orphans

My family didn’t have very much money, and before I came to Taipei, my entire faht, everyone would crowd into the living rooue about watching the shows that we each liked On days off work, e so I also frequently fought with ave up

However, the twins never experienced this kind of commonplace happiness

The weekend before Christ lesson as scheduled After pressing the doorbell and waiting for quite a long tiate I felt this was strange, since normally the old butler would immediately open the door as soon as I placed my hand on the doorbell After soate finally swung open slowly The person who answered the door was unexpectedly Zhao Yi Xuan

“Where’s the butler? Did he go out?”

“Dead” After Zhao Yi Xuan opened the gate, he turned around on his own to head back inside, not caring whether I followed or not

“Huh?” I was frozen on the spot, but I quickly caed to chase after Zhao Yi Xuan and grabbed his sleeves

“How could you say such a thing about an elderly person? It’s just too rude” I was slightly angry Even though the old butler was always cold, never said a word to er in a sense, my moral values to respect e

“On Monday Got in a car accident Died” Zhao Yi Xuan looked back and emotionlessly explained with a very flat tone It was then that I realized that his cos under his bloodshot eyes, his lips were cracked, his hair was a complete mess, and his clothes were disorderly

“Please don’t be so upset…” At a coo of his sleeves and followed hi

I didn’t see Zhao Yi Bo inside the living rooht he was going to go to the study, but he didn’t Rather, he turned around and entered Zhao Yi Bo’s room

I stopped at the door Even though I frequently visited the Zhao fa room, the study on the third floor, and the bathroom, I never entered any other rooo inside

After hesitating for a moment, I still followed him inside Zhao Yi Xuan’s appearance made me rather cautious, and the fact that I hadn’t seen a trace of Zhao Yi Bo also made me uneasy

Inside the roo on the bed with his eyes tightly closed I felt a jolt in my heart, and I hurriedly rushed over

On the bed, Zhao Yi Bo’s entire face was flushed red, and there was a cold towel on his forehead; he was breathing fast The nearby bedside cabinet had several opened packets of medicine I reached out my head to feel his neck My God, so hot!

“He has a high fever”

“Mm”

“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and bring him to the hospital” As I ordered Zhao Yi Xuan, I cliet Zhao Yi Bo up

Zhao Yi Xuan pulled away my hand

“The doctor just left, and he already gave him an IV drip” [1]

Startled, I remembered that the Zhao family always had a fixed family doctor

“How long has he had this fever?”

“Three days He’s been on an IV the entire time” Zhao Yi Xuan sat back down beside the bed and quietly resu over Zhao Yi Bo

Even after three days on an IV, his body was still so hot It must be because there’s nobody to take care of them

Even though they looked like adults, they were only children eren’t even sixteen years old yet

“You haven’t gone to school these past few days, have you? What have you two even been eating?” I felton the inside

“Takeout” Zhao Yi Xuan’s eyes were solely fixed on Zhao Yi Bo as lying on the bed Was he afraid? Afraid that his only brother was going to leave him behind, just like his parents and his butler did?

I cliently pet his head, I felt his body momentarily stiffen, but very quickly it relaxed

What a poor child

“When are your parents co?”

“They’re not going to come Yesterday they called to tell us that our custody is tee” His muffled and exhausted voice came out from my chest
