Roger fell into a long silence. At last, he said, âSis, have you thought of the consequences of coming here alone?â
After saying that, he glanced at the girl beside him in displeasure. âI said donât follow me and donât meddle in my business!â
Stella could not stand watching Rogerâs rude attitude towards the girl. She cut him off directly, âYou better come out with me now. Right now! Otherwise, donât bother calling me your sister anymore.â
Roger shut up at once and followed her dejectedly.
Just as the group was about to leave, Rory suddenly stood up unsteadily. He spat out a mouthful of blood and stopped them.
âWait!â
âAre you going to leave after beating me?â he said as he spat more blood. âIt wonât be this easy!â
Rory watched Rogerâs back viciously. âHey, Iâm talking about you! I saw you vomiting in the toilet earlier. Why? Is it because of these two women?â
He wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth and cursed.â Dimn it! You hit me so hard!â
He had watched Roger before and saw him drinking heavily in the bar. After that, a beautiful woman came and stayed with him, but he simply ignored her.
Rory was already upset to see this. Not long after, Stella came looking for him.
Rory was jealous to see Roger surrounded by two gorgeous ladies. âYouâre helping her out, huh?
Saving the day, huh?
He pushed Roger hard. âDo you know who this territory belongs to?!â
Roger staggered back a few steps, nearly falling. With widened eyes, Stella stepped forward to help him. âAre you okay?â
The girl with them panicked too and hurriedly rushed to him.â Robb, are you okay? Feeling unwell?â
Rogerâs face was as white as a sheet, and bullets of sweat rolled down his forehead.
Seeing this, Stella became distressed and angry. âWeâre going to the hospital now!â
Roger had been weak of late and was unable to withstand such torture.
âYou finally got out of the hospital after so long. Must you ruin your body like this?â
Stella had paid so much for this surgery and recovery. However, it appeared he didnât cherish his health at all. She was incredibly disappointed in him. âIâm not restricting you from coming to the car, but have you ever thought about your health? Youâre unfit to come to places like this!â
Her tone made Roger a little uncomfortable. âlâ⦠I just felt a little stressed, so I came to get some air...â
âIf youâre facing trouble, you can talk to me directly...â
âEnough! Enough!â Rory interrupted them. âStop acting like some loving brother and sister here! I hear you. Youâre his sister, right?â
He walked to them and smiled a little frivolously. âNot bad. I like girls like your sister ... The one beside you isnât bad too... How about you choose one and let me have the other?â he said while putting his hand on Rogerâs shoulder.
Roger was about to push him away, but people had swarmed up and surrounded them.
Unable to move, Roger glared at Rory angrily.
Roryâs eyes instantly became cold. He rushed to Roger and slapped him. âDonât be so arrogant!â
Stellaâs eyes reddened. She pushed him away, hissing, âStop! Donât you dare touch him!â
Roger was her only family. When she saw him getting hurt, only one thought coursed through her mindâshe couldnât let Roger get hurt. She did not want to be alone anymore.
