Chapter 769 - Strangely Acting Brother (1/2)
Coming back to the present...
Seeing Xiu's lost expression, Darren asked, ”What's wrong? What are you thinking about now?” He only asked this because this was the only time he saw her quiet today. Since the morning, she had been talking and now it was already nighttime. He didn't believe that she was tired of talking and that's why she stopped.
Xiu took another bite of the food before and smiled, ”It feels weird.”
”What?” he questioned with an arched brow.
”This bland food seems extra delicious today,” she replied. ”Or maybe my taste buds are damaged now.”
”No, it must taste delicious,” agreed Darren. ”It's made by a father for his daughter. How can it not be delicious?”
Xiu nodded her head, ”Right. It has to be because of that.” She grinned at Darren and added, ”This is my first in both of my lives.” She looked back at the food before her saying, ”I should savor it some more.”
She was gobbling down the food when Jackie ran inside the room and waved at both of them, ”Hi, patients! How are we doing today?”
Xiu gaped at him, ”Little brother, are you making fun of us?”
Jackie shook his head, ”Nah! I just wanted to do it once.”
”Where were you all day?” asked Darren. ”I didn't think you'd take this long to show up.”
”Brother-in-law, if I could I would camp in this room,” replied Jackie. ”But I have a mother who didn't allow me to skip school. It's a tragedy that even I have to suffer through places like schools.”
Darren couldn't laugh out because it'd make his own head dizzy, so he bit his bottom lip to hold back his laughter. ”It's really a tragedy. Our smart Jackie is also a victim of schools.”
Xiu frowned at Jackie, ”Since when did you start disliking schools?”
”Since the time school is stopping me from staying beside my sister,” replied Jackie without any hesitation.
Xiu smiled drily and said, ”Bro, stop spending time with Nora. Her head is filled with Dora cakes. Don't let her rub off on you.” She took a pause and added, ”Where is Clara mom?”
”Mom is being savage today,” he retorted.
”Savage?” repeated Xiu. ”She was already pretty savage though.” Sighing out, she asked, ”Have you eaten something?”
”I have,” replied Jackie. ”I ate before coming here.”
”Good.”
Then Jackie moved over to Darren's side when the nurse cleared his table. He jumped on his bed and sat beside him with his legs dangling down. ”Brother-in-law, does it hurt a lot?”
Darren was surprised when he heard that. ”It doesn't hurt.”
Jackie placed his small hand lightly on top of his forehead that was wrapped in gauze. ”I think it hurts. But you're just not telling me. You don't want my sister to worry, right?”
Darren licked his lips and said, ”No, I'm telling you the truth. It doesn't hurt at all.” He took a brief pause and added on purpose to convince him, ”It's a small wound. It's nothing to worry about.”
Jackie made a displeased look before pulling out his phone and showed the screen to Darren, ”I looked it up. And my research shows that no matter how small of a brain surgery it is, it's never too small.”Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/imperfect-desires_14488421705519105/strangely-acting-brother_50858674125591726 for visiting.
Darren gaped at the little boy in disbelief, ”Why would you even look it up?”
”So that I know what I can do to help you,” he replied. ”You need to get better fast.”
