Chapter 546 Goodbye, Sister-inw


    ir got out of the hospital bed and dragged her weak body to the bathroom to freshen up.


    When she was brushing her teeth, she noticed that her arm wasn''t as red and swollen as it was the day


    before. A newyer of ointment had been applied to the wound, nourishing her skin. It had a slight


    fragrance to it.


    She wondered who had applied the ointment to her wound. Was it Wesley, or a doctor?


    When she came out of the bathroom, Wesley had already left. She settled herself back on the bed, and


    wheeled the cart over that held the bowl of wontons and noodles. She then began eating. She was


    already half-done by the time Wesley came back with a few pieces of paper and some boxes of


    medicine in his hands.


    She looked at him, asking, "You eaten yet?"


    He shifted his gaze to her and nodded, "Mmm hmm."


    He quietly waited for her to finish before letting her know how to use the medicine. Staring at his


    serious profile, ir said sincerely, "Thank you, Wesley." It was good to be his neighbor. She felt


    protected, safe with him.


    And what if she were his girlfriend? She knew that feeling of security would be even more intense.


    Betraying no emotion, Wesley threw her a quick nce. "You''re wee." He handed the medicine to


    her and turned on his heels without a word.


    Breaking out of her reverie, ir found he was gone. She left the bed again, and jogged out of the


    ward. It wasn''t long before she caught up to him. He was waiting for her in front of the elevator.


    The doors opened. When they were about to step inside, they heard a panting voice call out, "Brother,


    Sister-inw..."


    ir was pretty sure that wasn''t for her, so she continued walking into the elevator. Wesley suddenly


    grabbed hold of her wrist and pulled her out. The elevator doors closed again. She turned to look at


    him, confused.


    He coldly pointed to a young man gasping for air behind them. He was dressed in a blue shirt and a


    white gown, and obviously was out of breath, rushing to catch them before they boarded the elevator.


    The young doctor looked a little bit like Wesley, but hisplexion was much lighter.


    ir felt like she had seen him somewhere before.


    But that wasn''t important now. He just called Wesley "Brother" and referred to her as "Sister-inw!"


    ir looked around. This was a military hospital with heavy security, and almost no one was on this


    floor. At the moment, only the three of them stood in front of the elevator. ''Who is this guy? And why did


    he call me that?'' ir wondered, shocked.


    She then heard Wesley tell the young man off. "Dude! You okay? How are your eyes? How about your


    brain? Need a doctor?"


    Confused by his words, Niles looked at the unhappy man and rubbed his eyes. "No. What are you


    talking about?"


    "She''s not your sister-inw. So clearly you need an optometrist—or a psychiatrist." As he was done


    speaking, he pressed the down button again, ready to go downstairs.


    Ignoring the bad-tempered man, Niles turned to look at the dazed girl, and greeted her with a big smile,


    "Hi ir. I''m Niles Li, Wesley''s younger brother. Actually, we met once at my university. You were the


    excellent English interpreter at the seminar..."


    With his reminder, ir finally remembered who he was. Surprise written all over her face, and she


    said excitedly, "Oh, it was you! I remember you made a speech as the student representative!"


    It turned out that he was Wesley''s brother. If she''d known that earlier, she would''ve been friendlier.


    The two greeted each other enthusiastically, as if they were old friends who hadn''t been together for a


    long time.


    Nodding vigorously, Niles said, "Yeah, that was me. Hey, your face still looks pale. You should maybe


    stay another couple days? I guess you''ve already been discharged." The elevator arrived on their floor


    again. Niles naturally followed them in.


    As ir walked inside, she replied, "Thanks, but I''m good. What I need now is rest, and I can do that at


    home."

    Wesley had been listening to the two without a word. But his face had darkened considerably as they


    talked.


    They didn''t spend long in the elevator. As soon as they walked out of the inpatient department, a rush


    of hot air blew over their faces. The sun was hung high in the blue sky.


    Wesley continued walking forward. ir was about to follow him but Niles stopped her. "I think my


    brother''s bringing the car around. Just wait here. It''s too hot to walk."


    Niles was being so considerate. ir was moved. Too bad Wesley couldn''t be like that.


    Hearing him, Wesley turned around to look at his brother. He changed his mind and threw his car keys


    to the young doctor. "You can get the car."


    Niles reflexively cupped his hands to catch the car keys. Shocked, he asked, "Why me?"


    "Because I''m older. Just do it."


    Niles was speechless. He refused in a low voice, "No way."


    Wesley cast him a sharp look, and it was enough to make the young doctor cower in fear. "Okay, okay.


    Got it. We can''t be rted..."


    Nilesined as he began to walk away. Wesley and ir silently stood there waiting for him.


    Shortly, the car pulled up to the entrance of the inpatient department. Wesley opened the passenger


    door. Without thinking much, ir headed to the back door. Wesley stopped her and said, "You take


    shotgun."


    She caught a glimpse of the vacant passenger seat, and obediently, she climbed in.


    And she literally climbed, bracing one foot on the running board and holding on to the handle on the


    side. The vehicle was pretty high up.


    Meanwhile, Niles jumped out of the driver''s seat and headed inside the building, where the air-


    conditioner was blowing cool air. He waved goodbye to them from the entrance. "Goodbye, Brother and


    Sister-inw!"


    That was the second time he called her "Sister-inw." She shook her head. "Hey, I''m not..." However,


    Niles had already hurried inside. He didn''t want to be around them in case Wesley tried to punch him.


    Embarrassed, she looked at the sullen man.


    Sulking silently, he sat in the driver''s seat and started the car. "Don''t mind him. He''s an idiot, and has


    been since we were kids. I''ll teach him a lesson next time."


    ''What? An idiot? An idiot made a speech on behalf of his school?''


    ir was confused. Was he trying to say there was nothing between them?


    He skillfully turned the wheel and drove the car away. "Don''t worry about it," she said. "I know he was


    just joking. He''s only a kid."


    Wesley gave her a sidelong nce. "A kid? You guys aren''t that far apart in age. You may be just a few


    months older."


    "A few months or a few years, he''s still younger. He''s lively and carefree, like a child."


    Wesley said nothing, lost in his own thoughts.


    When they rounded a corner, his phone suddenly rang. As soon as he tapped on the screen of the in-


    car phone, a man''s voice echoed through the car. "Wesley, we have a priority alert. Need you ASAP."


    "Understood!" Wesley''s face turned serious. He made a U-turn and was about to head to his toon.
