Chapter 416 My Brother Is Lucky
''Fallen in love? Seriously? You just met Niles, '' Debbie thought, massaging her aching temples. She
murmured to Irene, "Don''t fall for someone so easily. Let me tell you this—in a rtionship, whoever
falls in love first, suffers more."
Irene hadn''t dated anyone yet, so she didn''t have much experience in love. But she said confidently,
"Debbie, you know me. I always get what I want."
Debbie shook her head helplessly and patted Irene''s hand. "Focus on your career now, okay? You
haven''t held a proper concert yet. I know that you are not worried about money, but at least do it to feed
your passion."
"Debbie, when will my brother wake up?" Irene quickly changed the topic.
"Hopefully by tonight..." Debbie said with a sigh.
And just as she had predicted, Ivan woke up around seven that night. Irene was ying on her phone
and Debbie was sitting in a chair, texting Decker. "Decker Lu, what the hell have you been doing these
days? Are you alive or not?" she wrote.
"Debbie..." Ivan called out weakly.
Debbie swiftly looked up to find Ivan awake. She smiled and walked over to his bed. "Ivan, you''re finally
awake."
Irene put her phone away in a hurry and walked to his bedside too. "Ivan, how are you feeling now? I''ll
call the doctor."
She pressed the nurse-call button and told the doctor that her brother had woken up. Soon, a doctor
and a nurse came in to give Ivan a full check-up. "He''s okay now. Just need some good rest to
recover."
"Thank you," Debbie said, relieved.
After seeing the doctor and nurse off, she grabbed a cotton bud, dipped it in a ss of water and
rubbed it on Ivan''s lips to moisten them, just as the doctor had advised.
Seeing how carefully Debbie was looking after her brother, Irene couldn''t help but marvel at them,
"Deb, you''re so good at this. My brother is really lucky to have you as his wife!"
The fake couple exchanged nces with each other, and then burst into a fit ofughter.
Of course, they weren''t happilyughing because they were d to have each other in their life. They
just found Irene cute and pure. The girl had no idea that their marriage was a lie.
Misunderstanding theirughter, Irene giggled innocently. She was still thinking how lucky Ivan was.
She even pictured how wonderful it would be if Debbie gave birth to a baby as cute as Piggy.
The next day, when Mason and Mia found out that Ivan had woken up from hisa, they took Kasie
along with them to visit him.
When they arrived at the hospital, Debbie grabbed the chance to go back to Champs Bay Apartments.
She wanted to take a shower and change into new clothes.
The Zheng family was with Ivan in the ward. "Mr. Wen, thank you so much for saving my daughter. You
took a bullet for her. We''re forever indebted to you," Mason said as he gripped Ivan''s hand tightly in his,
tears threatening toe out of his eyes. Kasie was their only child. She had just managed to
ovee her grief over Emmett''s death.
Laughter had finally returned to their family. If it weren''t for Ivan, they might have lost their daughter
Ivan curled his pale lips into a thin smile. "Mr. Zheng, you don''t have to thank me. I should be

apologizing to you. Kasie was kidnapped because of me."
"The kidnappers have been locked up in jail now. And you shouldn''t have to apologize for their criminal
activities. You shielded my daughter with your body. That is something we will never forget in our lives."
Mason turned to Kasie and pulled her closer to the bed. "Kasie, thank Mr. Wen."
Kasie nced at Ivan. She tugged at the hem of her clothes nervously. "Mr. Wen, thank you for saving
me..."
Ivan was amused by her nervous tone. ''Do I look scary or something? Why is she so nervous around
me?'' he wondered. He shook his head. "No. Please don''t be so courteous. I''m responsible for the
kidnapping. If I were any better now, I would have visited your house and apologized."
Mia was impressed by how modest and polite Ivan was. She smiled and stole a nce at her daughter.
Kasie was an extrovert, but she was acting shy in front of him. That was unusual. "Mr. Wen, I cooked
this soup for you early this morning. Kasie,e here. Pour some soup for him. It''s good for his
health," she deliberately ordered her daughter.
Kasie didn''t put much thought into it and nodded, "Okay." She opened the thermos container.
Ivan epted their kind offer without hesitating. "Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Zheng. Sorry for the trouble,
Kasie."
Kasie smiled without replying. She clumsily poured the soup into a bowl.
As the only daughter of the Zheng family, Kasie had led an affluent life and had never done much
housework. Even filling a bowl of soup was difficult work for her. Finally, she managed to fill the bowl
without spilling any of the soup.
Mason hadid the table for Ivan. Kasie cautiously walked towards the table with the hot bowl in her
hands. At that moment, Ivan tried to move his body to find a morefortable position to sit in, and his
shoulder identally hit Kasie''s.
"Aargh!" The hot soup spilled onto her hand and in response to the burn, she reflexively dropped the
bowl onto the table. The soup poured out and began flowing onto the quilt and the floor. It was a mess.
Mason was talking something to Mia on the other side of the bed, so they didn''t see what had actually
happened. They thought Kasie had been too clumsy and careless. So Mason scolded her, "Kasie, how
could you be so careless?" He turned to Mia and said in a hurry, "Get a tissue!"
"Yes! Kasie, move. I''ll clean it." Mia hastily pulled out a few tissues from the stand, and tried to stop
more soup from dripping onto the bedding.
Ivan lifted the bowl from the table and Mia began cleaning it. Meanwhile, he looked at Mason who was
frowning at his daughter. Ivan exined immediately, "It''s not Kasie''s fault, Mr. Zheng. My arm hit hers
as she was bringing the soup. I''m sorry, Kasie. Did you hurt your hand?"
Kasie touched her scalded right hand, tears welling up in her eyes. The soup was very hot since it was
kept in a thermos container. Her hand was swollen red already.
When he noticed that Kasie had scalded herself, Mason gasped. He grabbed her hand to check it. "Are
you okay? Are you hurt, Kasie?"
Kasie nodded, biting her lower lip to suppress her cry. Then she walked to the bathroom and ced
her hand under the cold water to relieve her pain. After that, Mason took her to the nurse station to
apply some ointment on it.
By the time they came back, a cleaner had already changed the quilt for Ivan. He was eating the soup
which Mia had poured for him. Seeing Kasie and Mason at the door, he asked with concern, "Kasie,
how''s your hand now?"
"Nothing serious. Thank you." Kasie forced an embarrassing smile and sat down on the sofa.
As he drank the soup, Ivan talked to Mason about business. Mia would chip in asionally and say
something about the Zheng family. Kasie was sitting on the sofa, silently texting Debbie. "When will you
But Debbie didn''t reply.
Ivan finished the soup, but Debbie still hadn''t shown up. Mason checked the time on his watch and
looked at his daughter. "Kasie, stop ying with your phone. Your mom and I need to head home now.
Since Debbie isn''t here yet, you stay and take care of Mr. Wen until shees."
"Okay," she nodded.
After the old couple left, Kasie and Ivan were left alone in the ward. Awkward silence filled the air.
Kasie smoothed her hair and tried to diffuse the tension. "Mr. Wen, do you need to get some sleep?"
