Chapter 159


    Nick always had a thing about personal space. Even though Zach was his own flesh and blood. their


    embracested barely a second before Zach hastily stepped back, maintaining a respectful distance.


    Zach sighed inwardly, understanding his brother’s temperament all too well. However, no sign of


    displeasure crossed his features. His gaze swept the high–tech hall, and he said with a lightness in his


    voice. “Seeing you live the good life makes me happy, Nick.”


    Nick’s lips twitched, as if he struggled to muster a smile, but his stoic disposition left his features stiff


    and rigid. He turned and poured two sses of water–one for himself and one for Collins. “Make


    yourself at home,” he said, handing over the ss.


    Zach took the ss and cut straight to the chase, “Leo’s injury really can’t be healed.pletely?”


    “He’ll recover but can’t do any more strenuous activities, especially performing on stage,” Nick replied,


    his voice detached.


    Zach fell silent, knowing that if his brother, an internationally acimed medical prodigy, said so, there


    was no other way around it.


    After a moment, Nick nced up towards the second floor, his tone growing even colder, “If he doesn’t


    want treatment, just persuade him to go back home. I’ve got a couple of doctors who are quite skilled.


    I’ll refer him to them.”


    With that, Nick settled onto the couch. The chandelier above cast a brilliant light on his pale, almost


    translucent face, entuating his cool, emotionless demeanor.


    Collins, who had been listening, became visibly anxious. After several days of interaction, he hade


    to recognize Nick’s peculiar temperament, which matched the rumors to a T. If it weren’t for the fact that


    Leo was Nick’s brothers, he doubted Nick would have lifted a finger to


    help.


    “Nick…” Collins began to speak but stopped as his gaze caught sight of Leo standing at the top of the


    staircase. He instantly fell silent.


    Zach also noticed Leo and, with a sigh, said, “I’ll go talk to him.”

    Nick didn’t respond, simply picking up a magazine to read.


    Zach turned and made his way upstairs.


    Time flew, and soon, it was the eve of the BrainSpark Nationals city finals.


    Summer intended to review her study materials onest time, but they were nowhere to be found in her


    room despite a thorough search. The documents she’d brought from the Education Association had

    Her expression grew stormy. She’d been tied up with training sessions at thepany every afternoon


    after school and hade home too exhausted to do anything but sleep. There had been no time for


    revision.


    She was certain she had left the papers under her pillow. Where could they have gone?


    Rubbing her temples, a thought struck her, and she quickly left her room.


    The room next door was Aiden’s. Without knocking, Summer barged in, “Alden, did you take my study


    materials?”


    Aiden, who was in the middle of a gaming session with his friends, had headphones on and didn’t quite


    catch what Summer said. He nced up briefly when she entered, then refocused


    on his game.


    Summer snatched his phone and yanked off his headphones, her voice filled with usation, “Give me


    back my study materials.”


    Aiden’s brow furrowed in annoyance at the interruption, “What’s your problem? Give me back. my


    phone right now.”
