    How did such a fatal mishap befall Leo? Zach’s heart ached, and he couldn’t bear to imagine what his


    younger brother must’ve looked like at that moment.


    “After the injury, he had given up hope,” Zach recalled, “but when he heard that the international


    medical prodigy, LIN, had a good chance to cure him…”


    Collins hadn’t finished his sentence when Zach interrupted upon hearing the name LIN, “Wait, did you


    say LIN?”


    Collins nodded, his voice tinged withplexity. “We only recently found out that LIN is actually Nick.”


    Zach’s lips curved into a half–smile as he exined, “Leo has always been busy, and with Nick settling


    abroad, they didn’t keep in touch much, so it’s normal he didn’t know. Frankly, I only learned he goes


    by LIN after he won an international award.”


    At that, Collins couldn’t help but think back to when he first met Leo, “In those early days when Leo


    joined the scene, he never mentioned his family. I almost mistook him for an orphan with


    no parents.”


    Zach chuckled, “That’s why he’s considered the most aloof in our family.”


    Leo had fought his way up all on his own.


    “But to his fans, he’s a warm–hearted big guy.” Collins sighed. “It’s just fate ying cruel


    games…”


    Zach straightened up. “Did you just mention Nick could treat Leo’s condition?”


    “We thought so, but…after the examination, LIN said that he probably won’t be able to undergo intense


    training in the future,” Collins said with a wry smile.


    Zach frowned, “So, has he given up on himself?”


    Collins hummed softly, acknowledging that Zach truly understood Leo’s temperament. “I told him, if you


    can’t dance, don’t dance and just sing. But he insists that singing without dance is like a soulless


    existence. After getting LIN’s verdict, he shut down again and even refused surgery.”


    “I couldn’t convince him, and I feared his spinal injury would worsen, so I had no choice but to tell you,


    hoping you could persuade him,” Collins said.


    Zach gazed out the car window, his voice deepening, “I understand. Leo is my brother, and I don’t want


    him to give up on himself.”


    Hearing Zach’s resolve, Collins felt a weight lift off his chest. Now, Zach might be all they could hope


    for.


    After about half an hour, the car entered an estate with a sophisticated security system.


    Chapter 158


    Several checks were required before one could truly enter the estate. This estate was none other than


    Nick’s private residence. It was Zach’s first visit, and he was fascinated by the advanced equipment


    and the smart home robots. It was like stepping into a high–tech. wondend.


    “Zach, sorry I was tied up and couldn’t pick you up from the airport myself.” Nick had just returned from


    theb and just saw the message from Collins, learning that Zach had arrived in the States. There was


    a tinge of regret in his eyes as he looked at Zach. His handsome face was unusually pale, the kind of


    pallor from ack of sunlight.


    It had been years since Zach had seen his brother. He walked over and put his arm around him. his


    voice tinged with emotion, “It’s been a long time, Nick.”
