Wesley turned to look at him with his eyebrows raised sharply and questioned, “You know her?”
“Yes. Just answer the question, will you?” Niles was anxious to know the status of their relationship at that moment.
Wesley exhaled a mouthful of smoke.
“No.”
Niles grinned and stared at the aloof man with so much enthusiasm in his eyes.

“So, how do you know her? What do you think about her? She’s a nice girl, right?”
Wesley wasn’t happy with the expectant expression on Niles’ face. His younger brother was speaking in a way as if he were asking his family’s opinion about his own girlfriend.
“Not very impressed,” Wesley said flatly, put out the cigarette and threw it into the trash can.
“Why not? She’s an outstanding person. Although she hasn’t graduated yet, she has already mastered four languages, especially English! She speaks English like a native. I once heard her speech. It was amazing!”
Niles tried to highlight Blair’s achievements to Wesley.
Wesley cast him a sidelong glance and said nonchalantly, “I know six languages. Do you hearbrag about it?”
With that, he turned and walked away without another word, leaving
Niles in a fix.
It dawned on Niles that his elder brother was remarkably outstanding too. ‘I was too excited about Blair to remember that, ‘ he sighed inwardly. But he wasn’t going to give up. He hastily caught up to
Wesley, who was about to open the door to Blair’s ward.
“Wesley, is it that difficult for you to acknowledge how amazing she is?” Niles asked persistently.

Niles.
“I never said that she’s not.”
Niles chuckled.
“Be straightforward, Brother. So, do you think it’s okay forto pursue her?”
“Pursue her?’ A complicated Look flashed in Wesley’s eyes. He spat icily, “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
He then pushed the door open and walked in. Niles tried to follow him in, but the door was already locked. Confused, he peeked through the window and saw that Wesley had bolted the door from inside.
Niles couldn’t believe his eyes. Without giving him a second glance,
Wesley walked straight to the hospital bed, sat in the chair and continued to watch the infusion bottle.
