Entangled With The CEO Brothers

I called Patrick and he came quickly, it just so happened that he also has type A blood.

Sunny was out of danger and transferred to the general ward. She was lying on her side on the cot sleeping extraordinarily sweetly, with thick gauze wrapped around her forehead, which made my heart flutter and hurt when I looked at it.

What surprised me more was Cameron, when I didn’t let him have a blood transfusion, he walked out angrily, I thought he wouldn’t come back, but I didn’t expect him to come back after a while, with Sunny’s usual favorite toy in his hand.

He stayed at the hospital and kept Sunny awake all night. when Sunny woke up, he teased her to eat and made her happy. when Sunny cried out from the pain of her head wound, he held her in his arms and comforted her softly, and changed her favorite toys as if he was doing a magic trick, and she forgot about the pain at that moment, and was happy to giggle straight away.

Cameron stayed with her for three days, almost undressed.

I had mixed feelings, but I couldn’t tell him the truth. With him around, it was as if I had an extra tree to protect me from the wind and the rain.

I fell asleep in the recliner and woke up with the nurse tucking me in, “Sorry to wake you up?”

“It’s okay.” I rubbed my eyes and smelled a familiar odor, “This coat …”

“This jacket is what your husband wanted me to put on you, shoot you’ll catch a cold if you sleep like this.” The nurse smiled, “Ma’am, you’re lucky to have such a cold and gentle and considerate husband.”

I lowered my head and forced a smile, the nurse continued, “Really, not many men can make it this far now. He’s been taking care of the baby these past few days, right? Looks like a good father after all!”

“Yes, he’s very good to his daughter.” I felt both sour and comforted.

“Or why don’t you go replace him for a bit?” The nurse pointed to the hospital room, “He’s not in the best of spirits.”

I walked in and saw Cameron with one hand propped up on his head, his elbow resting against the edge of the bed snoring slightly. He suddenly opened his eyes very alertly as I approached.

He was very tired looking, but his eyes were still shining. My heart moved, and I said softly, “You rest for a while … three days, have not closed your eyes much.”

He ignored me.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

I added, “How can you take care of Sunny if you wear yourself out? It’s better for me to do it instead, you go and rest.”

Still silent, he tucked Sunny in and looked up at the IV above him again.

“Hey!” I pushed him harder, “I’m talking to you, will you respond a little?”

Cameron turned his face to look at me coldly, and after a long moment, he glanced back at Sunny, stood up and whispered, “Come out with me.”

We stood in the hallway.

He didn’t say anything, but I was already apprehensive. I knew what he wanted to ask, and I very anxiously needed to find a suitable excuse, but ultimately failed.

I could no longer hide the fact that he and Sunny were father and daughter.

“I’m going to ask you one last time,” his voice was low and husky, “Whose daughter is Sunny anyway?”

“She …”

“She’s not Carter’s daughter, much less born to a random man like you said!” He glared at me, “Answer me honestly whose daughter she really is!”

I closed my eyes.

What’s meant to be will be, paper can never hold fire. It couldn’t have been more obvious today when the doctor said that there could be complications with the parents’ blood transfusion, and I was so vehement about stopping Cameron from getting a blood transfusion.

“It’s yours.” I whispered.

I laid it all out in a nutshell, “Sunny is your daughter, I had her before you went to jail for Daniel. Then I carried her to see you, only to have you mistake her for Carter’s baby …”

Cameron’s face froze in place as he stared at me in disbelief, disbelief still showing in his eyes.

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” He said, “I gave you so many chances, why didn’t you tell me that Sunny was my child? Laura, if this didn’t happen today, how long are you going to keep this secret? What are your intentions in hiding this fact!”

“Cameron …”

I had a deep sense of powerlessness. I didn’t know how to explain to him, I was so helpless at that moment that I couldn’t open my mouth to say anything but his name.

“Why are you such a vicious woman!” He yelled, pinching my shoulders and shaking, “She is obviously my daughter, but you prevented us from recognizing each other, what do you want to do!”

“I don’t want to do anything!” I pushed him away, “I just want to be left alone with my child Anne. I don’t want to get involved in all this boring strife, I don’t want to get involved in your feud with The Lynch Family, and I don’t want Sunny to get involved either!”

“Sunny is not yours alone! I’m her father, I have the right to be her guardian, and I have the obligation to raise her! With one ‘don’t want to’, you’ve deprived me of all these things! Who gave you that right?”

Cameron got more and more agitated as he spoke, and my entire body poked out the window as he pushed me. His big hands were over my neck and he kept shaking me like he was grabbing a bunny.

“Cameron, calm down …”

“Laura,” he glared at me with scarlet eyes and a fuming glare, “I hate you!”

I tried with all my strength to break away from him when I heard a shout from the other end of the hallway, “You let her go!”

Cameron’s grip loosened and I was able to straighten up, leaning against the wall and coughing, Mellisa patted me on the back and ran her fingers over the bloody marks on my neck where he’d strangled me, and tears welled up in her eyes.

“Cameron!” she glared at him in exasperation, “What are you doing?”

“Heh,” Cameron sneered, “I’m doing myself justice, of course! I’m afraid auntie doesn’t know how vicious this woman’s heart is.”

“Splat–” Mellisa slapped her across the face, “‘This woman’ is Laura, the Laura you once loved, the mother of your daughter! The one you used to love, the one who is your daughter’s mom! What did you just do? Do you want to kill someone in broad daylight?”

“It wouldn’t matter if I killed her, she’d die a million deaths!”

“You …”

“Aunt,” Cameron gazed wryly, “don’t you think you care too much for her Laura … deserves you to speak so much for her?”

My heart tightened, then I watched as he turned his gaze to me, “Is there something else you’re hiding from me when you’ve gone out of your way to keep Sunny’s existence from me?”

I lowered my eyes, knowing that with Cameron’s mind, it wouldn’t be a difficult task to try and make sense of the logic of it all. He’s getting suspicious now.

Mellisa stepped in front of me and pivoted me with her arm so that I hid behind her, still in that old mother hen protecting her chicks position.

“Laura,” Cameron steps closer to me, “Say, what else are you hiding from me? If you don’t tell me I’m going to find out for myself, and the day I do, you really won’t be any better off!”

I clenched my lips. “Say it!” He let out a roar and I jerked a shudder.

“Don’t you push her.” Mellisa word for word, “Cameron, you want to know the answer to this, I’ll tell you … In fact, there’s no hiding this kind of thing, you’re going to find out sooner or later.”

“Don’t …” I panicked, grabbing Mellisa’s sleeve at once.

She shrugged me off and looked straight at Cameron, “Laura is my daughter … which means she’s your sister!”

I forget how I got home that day, how I shared a room with Cameron only to be silent with each other.

Everything sounds so unbelievable, even I, until now, don’t want to admit the fact that Cameron and I are brother and sister.

Yasmin stayed at the hospital to take care of Sunny, and I went home with Cameron. As soon as we got home, he locked himself in his room. I sat quietly in the living room and didn’t bother to disturb him. I knew his temper, and it was useless to say anything to him at a time like this.

My eyes fell on the wall of photos next to the window. Cameron designed it. When he first moved in, he thought it would be too ugly to leave the place empty, and putting a famous painting or something would not fit in with the overall style, so he washed out my photos, put them into small lace frames, and posted them on the wall one by one.

I don’t even know where he got so many pictures of me. The ones of me in my school uniform, the ones out on field trips, the ones of me graduating from college, and even the ones of me in Alcostan … I didn’t even look at the camera in every one of them, all of them were taken by him when I wasn’t looking.

I heart a burst of sour, suddenly realized that his heart for me, far more than I imagined to be much longer.

I gently pushed open the door to his room, and he was sitting in front of his desk, staring at a few knick-knacks laid out on the table. A chill ran down my spine as I took a closer look; these were all Anne’s things from before.

There were pens she used, head flowers she wore, and a bear, her favorite toy.

He sensed that I was standing behind him and slightly tilted his head sideways, his angular side still cold.

“I didn’t expect …,” he said as if muttering to himself, “less Anne, surprisingly there is another you.”

“Anne’s death, I have unshirkable responsibility.” I crouched down beside him, “Do you know how happy I was when I learned that Jacob wasn’t my real father? I thought I finally didn’t have to carry that cross of the heart anymore, I felt like I could stand in front of you with dignity … but I never thought that the person who kept calling her aunt was my real mother.”

“You already knew it was my mom who instructed someone to kidnap and kill Anne, right?” I asked him.

He didn’t look at me, his body was filled with the coldness of rejection. I smiled bitterly and told him, “Now you should understand why I didn’t let you identify with Sunny. I don t know what she should call you, call you uncle or father. Cameron, I am also very painful … now I don t know how to face it. I’d rather I was Jacob’s daughter, I’d rather be scolded by him for the rest of my life, I don’t want to become your sister!”

Cameron didn’t say a word, but his clenched fists and scarlet eyes already told me plainly what he was thinking.

There was no way he was going to accept this, so he retaliated with more drastic means. He alienated all of Carter’s close associates, and in those days, when shareholders were leaving The Lynch Group, Carter didn’t even have an assistant anymore, and he had to do everything himself, even small things like serving tea and water.

Cameron also blocked all the companies that had business dealings with The Lynch Group, completely isolating The Lynch Family in the mall.

My mom called me to come home to discuss the situation.

What was there to discuss? My head was in the clouds at the time. I couldn’t control Cameron, and I couldn’t control my own heart, and I was beginning to resent the fact that if they hadn’t done the ridiculous things they did in the previous generation, how could the plague come back to haunt us?

But my mother still begged over and over again, “Laura, you come back to a trip … Your father has been proud all his life, and now it is late and miserable, he can not stand this blow has been hospitalized. And Carter … he is pouring out his sorrows with alcohol every day, I don’t even have someone to talk to now.”

“Laura, do something, let Cameron stop! Does he really want to put us all out of business?”

I hung up the phone.

I honestly didn’t want to go back, I subconsciously wanted to clear all ties with The Lynch Family. But as I sink into the couch and close my eyes, my mind inexplicably starts to go back to how good Mellisa was to me …

She was my mom.

She was supposed to be the closest person in the world to me.

But she is now begging me so lowly.

She should be in a very difficult situation right now, her husband is sick, her son is not doing well, and her only daughter is hostile to her like an enemy.

I got up, freshened up briefly and headed for The Lynch Family. I thought, although I could not let go of her, I should give her some comfort.

The Lynch Family was very empty, and there was only one maid watering the flowers in the yard. She nodded slightly when she saw me and told me Mellisa was in the study.

I stood in the doorway of the study, adjusting my breathing in preparation for knocking, when I suddenly heard a heated argument, “How could you think such a thing? … told you, said nothing I will agree!”

“Then I’ll tell you too,” the voice was low and cold, “I’ll do whatever it takes to take Sunny!”

“If you take Sunny, how will you let Laura live? That child is Laura’s life, what will Laura do if you take her away!”

“I don’t want to care about her, I only care about my daughter. Sunny is my own flesh and blood, of course she should follow me, as for Laura … if she wants to follow, I won’t stop her!”

“You’re crazy, Cameron!” screamed Mellisa, “You’re brother and sister! You have a child with you, and wherever you go, as soon as someone finds out who you are, you’re going to be shamed by everyone, and even Sunny will live in the shadows for the rest of her life!”

My heart leaps out of my chest and I put my fingers in my mouth and bite down hard so I can keep myself from making a sound.

Cameron, he’s going to take Sunny, what about me?

I panicked.

I heard Cameron say again, “I don’t care about worldly eyes, I only care about my child.”

“Then please think about your child! What will she think when she grows up in the future and realizes who she is and that her parents are actually brother and sister? If you don’t care about the world, does she not care either? When the world comes at her, does she have the strength to fight back?”

“Cameron,” she continued, “I know I’ve done a lot of things wrong to you and your mom, and it’s fine if you want to blame me, but this Sunny thing, you can’t be impulsive! The best thing to do at the moment is for Laura to take Sunny and live her life in hiding. Keep their identities a secret and live out this life peacefully.”

“That’s just what you think, I don’t think there’s anything to keep secret.” Cameron sneered, “What business is it of anyone else’s if I raise my daughters? Keeping their identities a secret is nothing more than keeping The Lynch Family from being the laughing stock of others! Can you still hide this selfishness from me? Hehe, Auntie, whether you are doing it for the good of The Lynch Family or for the two of them, you know in your own heart!”

“Cameron, you …”

Mellisa couldn’t say anything for a while.

I crouched outside as if I had just been in a gunfight. My ears buzzing, full of only one voice: Cameron he wants to take Sunny, what to do?
