A Slight Change In Brian’s Behavior The four of them had made 70 dumplings in total, taking them nearly an hour before they finished making it. Silas was worried that Camila’s dumplings might burst and cause the fillings to leak out, so he steamed some of it while boiling the rest. Another half an hour had passed by the time they were able to eat the dumplings. Camila emotionally said, “It’s not easy to make dumplings indeed.” However, South thought, We are the ones who had it difficult! If we didn’t have to teach her, we can at least bring forward an hour.
However, she hadn’t finished with her sentence. “But, with my help, I’m sure it’ll be quicker the next time.” Meanwhile, he was complaining in his heart, it would be worse if you help out the next time.
Throughout the entire process, Silas was smiling lovingly. “Give them a try. Is there any difference between the dumplings that you make and the ones in restaurants?”
She agreed, but she didn’t forget about Brian as well. “Have a taste, Brian. Try them too!” Brian ate one of the dumplings and acknowledged, “Yeah, it’s delicious. It’s been so long since I last had any dumplings.” He felt especially warm and happy tonight, as if he had returned to his childhood where they were making dumplings together as a family. “Me too.” With that, Camila sent another dumpling into her mouth and praised it while sampling it. “Oh… Homemade dumplings are still the best, even though they may look slightly ugly.” Upon hearing that, everyone laughed. During that meal, the four of them finished 70 dumplings and left none to waste. After dinner, South returned to his room to finish his homework while Silas made arrangements for Brian to have a body check.
Brian stubbornly refused. “I’m fine.”
However, Silas emphasized, “Camila is an amazing doctor. Why don’t you let her give you a checkup?” Brian said, “That’s fine. Thanks for the dumplings tonight, but I’ll take my leave now.” With that, he stood
up to leave. “Wait!” Camila called him. “Why are you rejecting Silas’s offer? Is it because you don’t trust my medical skills or you don’t want to owe him a favor?”
Brian stopped walking. “There’s no need to waste any time here.” She nodded understandingly. “Seems like you still don’t trust me enough.” “It’s not that,” he replied anxiously. While looking at him, Camila demanded, “Then, what’s the topic? Why do you avoid the topic whenever your condition is mentioned? What is it that you are afraid of?” Brian stayed silent while Silas answered on his behalf. “He’s afraid of disappointment. Over the years, there were at least ten doctors who have treated him, if not hundreds After each consultation, they will prescribe him with lots of medicine and he has been consuming them over the years.” Brian looked at him in surprise, as if he was asking, How did you know? Silas’s lips slightly twitched into a faint smile. “I found half of the doctors, so how could I not know?” Brian’s pupils slightly narrowed. He knew that Silas was silently helping him, but never expected that the latter had found half of the doctors who treated him. In that moment, Brian was at a loss for words. All the while, he had been hard on himself. Silas was his elder brother-a person whom he admired since young. However, since that incident, he completely stopped idolizing Silas and hated him instead. He hated Silas’s callousness where he and his mother were abandoned. However, as the years passed, there were many occasions when Silas appeared at the exact moment when Brian needed help-just like what had happened last night. Silas would immediately leave after helping him out without saying anything. Brian had been convincing himself that Silas was trying to make it up for his sins. Yet I will not forgive him. Him helping me is something that he should do. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
After that, he became acquaintanced with Camila and frequently interacted with her. It was because of her that he slightly became friends rather than enemies with Silas. His heart began to side with Silas, wondering whether the latter was forced into doing what he did back then.
Each time Brain caught himself thinking about it, he would remind himself, Don’t allow him to have pleasure. Otherwise, all the times that I have suffered will be in vain and my mom would have died for nothing.
