    Chapter 1079 We’re Enemies


    Zephyr straightened up and curled his lips before looking softly at Narissa. "I told you I have a younger


    sister. I didn''t lie to you."


    Narissa was rooted to the spot. So, he didn''t lie to me when we were beside the cliff at that time. He


    really has a younger sister he has to take care of.


    While she was still in her thoughts, Zephyr suddenly approached her and hugged her. "Thanks for


    bringing her back."


    Narissa subconsciously stiffened, for she was surprised by the man''s hug. While feeling uneasy, she


    wasn''t sure where she should ce her hands.


    When Jamie saw the scene whileing downstairs, his heart was riddled withplicated feelings.


    Zephyr knew his boundaries, so he soon stepped away from the woman. Then, he looked at the others


    and announced, "Let me introduce her to you. She''s my twin sister, Maisie. I was born only an hour


    before her."


    "I''m sorry for troubling all of you. Thanks for saving me." Maisie nodded and expressed her gratitude.


    Due to her temperament, she sounded dispassionate. However, all of them didn''t mind it. Instead, they


    felt sorry for her because of her illness.


    "We''re friends, so there''s no need to be overly polite." Danny waved his hand to motion for her to be at


    ease. Then, he exined, "Since you''ve returned safely, we''re supposed to hold a wee party for


    you. However, it''s a special period, so we have to keep a low profile. We''ll throw the party for you when


    all the problems are settled."


    "I''m happy that I''m back by my brother''s side, so I don''t want to keep troubling you anymore. You don''t


    have to hold a party for me." Maisie frowned and appeared slightly reluctant.


    "It''s not troublesome at all. Everyone will be happy to attend the party," Danny replied.


    "Forget it. Since Maisie is ill, she can''t be in a noisy ce." Zephyr stepped forward and helped her out


    of trouble.


    He understood his sister very well. Having been ill for years, she had lost all enthusiasm and expectation


    for life. A morous ce was no different from torture to her, so it was only natural that she was


    reluctant to attend such a party.


    Maisie gave him a grateful look. They understood each other without a word.


    "It''s my fault for forgetting about it." Danny smacked his forehead with frustration. "We''ll talk about it


    when Miss Maisie recovers. Zephyr, you have to be as good to her as possible!"


    Hearing that, Zephyr hung his head low. A shadow formed under his long eyshes as he appeared


    dejected.


    Meanwhile, Maisie looked uneasy as well.


    Realizing that something was off, Danny asked bashfully, "Have I said something wrong again?"


    "It''s not your fault." Maisie forced a smile. "It''s a congenital disease, and it''s not curable for now. I have to


    sustain my life with medicine."


    At that moment, everyone turned solemn. They knew that Zephyr''s sister was ill, but they hadn''t


    expected her illness to be so severe.


    "There''s no illness in the world I can''t cure." Zephyr sounded furious at himself.


    Despite that, everyone knew that Zephyr was already one of the best doctors in the world. Since he still


    hadn''t managed to cure his sister by now, it was unlikely that she would recover.


    "That''s right. There are many miracles in the world, so I''m sure you''ll recover." Narissa ced her hand


    on Maisie''s shoulder and whispered, "Although I think your brother is unreliable, that''s fine. Elise is a


    genius, and her son is a prodigy. There''s nothing in the world they can''t achieve, so you don''t have to


    worry about your illness. A fairy like you is supposed to go out there and show the world your beauty.


    You''ll definitely live over a hundred years old."

    Her optimism and enthusiastic expression infected Maisie, who put on a sincere smile.


    Zephyr was gratified when he saw that. "Other than your remark about me, I usually agree with what you


    say. Since you''ve saved my sister, I''ll let it slide this time."


    Although he was still teasing the woman, his attitude was much gentler.


    "Stop distorting the facts. It''s me deciding not to settle the score with you for little fairy''s sake." Narissa


    examined him and said contemptuously, "Are you two really twins? She''s as marvelous as the stars in


    the sky while you… I guess I probably shouldn''t say it out loud."


    Zephyr didn''t get mad at her as he said with a faint smile, "You just said you wouldn''t settle the score with


    me."


    Narissa was rendered speechless. A momentter, she refuted arrogantly, "I can do whatever I want. It''s


    none of your business!"


    "It seems that both of you are on good terms." Maisie smiled brightly. It was her first time seeing Zephyr


    treating a woman zealously.


    "That''s not true. We''re enemies!" Narissa realized that things were getting out of hand, so she yawned


    and said, "I''m exhausted, so I''ll hit the sack now. See you tomorrow, Maisie."


    "I remember dispensing a week''s worth of medicine for him. Why has it run out so soon?" Zephyr asked


    doubtfully.


    "I wanted him to recover sooner, so I gave him more pills every time. That''s why there''s none left,"


    Raymond exined with a smile.


    "You can''t give him more pills than he should take. There are strict rules when ites to the amount of


    medicine and the time of consumption. Once the dosage is wrong, it might cause some counter-effects. I


    can dispense the medicine to you again, but you must follow the dosage strictly this time." Zephyr


    understood that Raymond knew little about medicine, so he believed his exnation.


    "Don''t worry. I won''t do it again," Raymond replied politely.


    Zephyr nodded. "Come with me."


    "Miss Maisie, I''ll start pushing you forward. If you want me to go slower, just tell me right away. Don''t be


    shy," Raymond whispered.


    "Thanks." Maisie gently expressed her gratitude, after which they left Griffith Manor.


    After sending her back to her home, Raymond took the medicine and left.


    Zephyr brought Maisie to her room and ced her on the bed before covering her with a quilt. It seemed


    that he was used to doing it. Maisie looked dazedly at him. Out of the blue, she asked, "Are you in love


    with someone?"


    Zephyr didn''t deny it, but he wasn''t willing to dwell on this topic. "You look tired. I guess you didn''t get


    enough rest when you were in captivity. I''ll prepare a soothing tea for you so that you''ll have a good


    night''s sleep. Since you''re home, you can put your guard down. Don''t worry. I won''t let anyone take you


    away again."


    Maisie''s gaze dimmed. "You were only born an hour before me, so you don''t have to exert yourself to


    take care of me."


    "At any rate, I''m your older brother, so I''m supposed to look after you. Don''t say things like this again. I''ll


    prepare the tea for you now."
