However, as time passed and after facing numerous experiences
together, his mindset gradually changed.
It was unclear how much time had passed when Amelia suddenly
woke up. She sat up straight, her eyes staring blankly ahead. She
wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth with her hand.
âWhy are you awake? Just sleep a little longer,â Drew said, glancing at
her. He found her absent-mindedness to be cute and endearing. She reminded him so much of Bella
when they were young.
âI-Iâm sorry, Drew!â Amelia panicked suddenly, noticing her drool on
Drewâs shoulder. She blushed with embarrassment and said, âI-I
stained your clothes⦠Iâll go wash them for you! Iâm sorry!â
Seeing her flustered, Drew couldnât help but feel sorry for his
youngest sister. Their family dynamic always revolved around Bella.
They almost instinctively regarded Bella as the youngest si
did they realize that Amelia was the one who truly needed
care and attention within the Thompson family, yet she was o
overlooked.
Little
âDonât worry, itâs nothing,â Drew said with a gentle smile, patting h
thigh. âCome here. Lie down and get some rest.â
Ameliaâs face blushed even more. âI canâtâ¦â
âBella used to rest her head on my thighs when she slept.â.
Amelia pressed her lips together tightly. She kneaded her hands
nervously until they turned red.
Drew understood her hesitation, knowing she couldnât bring herself to
accept such intimacy. After all, she was just his half-sister. To Amelia, Drewâs acknowledgment of her
as his sister was enough.
With a soft sigh, Drew removed his windbreaker and draped it over Ameliaâs shoulders, wrapping her
petite figure in it.
âDrew, Iâm not cold. You should wear it.â Amelia began to protest, attempting to take it off.
âBe good and keep it on.â Drew insisted. His gaze softened as he gently pressed her shoulder. âThat is,
if you truly consider me your
brother.â
Upon hearing these words, Amelia no longer hesitated. Her heart
surged with warmth, accompanied by a hint of tears in her eyes.
Thanks to Bella, she now has a brother to look after her.
Just then, there was a commotion not too far away.
âAmelia, wait here. Iâll go check it out,â Drew said as heed up and
walked out.
As he caught sight of Justin and Ryan, Drew felt his express darken. His brows furrowed with menace,
and he exuded an
âDamn, itâs him!â
Ryan recognized Drew at a glance, recalling the incident of Drew
mercilessly beating Justin, sending shivers down his spine.
âYou have the nerve to show up here?â Drewâs muscles tensed, his
gaze fierce as he approached Justin directly. âGet out now, before I lose my temper and throw you out!â
Justin lifted his pale, sorrowful face, his throat tightening. âI want to
see Bella. I have something important to tell her.â
Drew glared fiercely. âShe doesnât have anything to say to you, so get
lost!â
âNo.â Justin took a deep breath, his eyes bloodshot. âIf I canât see her,
I wonât leave!â
With that, he attempted to push his way past Drew, seemingly out of
his mind.
Drew had intended to stop him, but to his surprise, Ryan was prepared and pulled out a stun gun,
jabbing it directly into Drewâs lower back.
âAh!â
