Acacia’s POV
In the evening, Austin went to the bar with his friends to drink. He’s so upset because I’m avoiding him.
“You have nothing to worry about. If you make her yours, you don’t have to worry about her running away with another man.”
Austin pondered his friend’s words.
“Well, shall I send her to your room tonight?”
Austin was furious upon hearing his friend and scolded him. He loves Acacia so much that he would never use such despicable methods.
On the third day, As I am eating breakfast before going to work. Brother Jack is looking at me strangely now, which is something new.
While I’m at work, Austin came so early and dragged me into his office. I broke free from his hand and asked, “What are you doing?”
He said in an unassailable tone: “Move out from your old place now.”
I couldn’t comprehend him so I asked “Why?”
“Are you entirely out of your mind? How can I accept that my woman lives with a strange man?” Austin said in a wronged tone as if he is the victim in this
“What do you mean strange man? Jack is my brother.”
“As a man, I know very well that his eyes are full of lust towards you.”
“I don’t have time to worry about anyone as miserable as you, I won’t leave. Besides, I didn’t promise to be your girlfriend. Why do you care so much about me, anyway?”
“Upon hearing those words, I no longer mind turning you into my woman.”
I recognized the meaning in his words: “What do you mean by that?” Then, I quickly fled fearing that he would do something. After work in the evening, Austin insisted on taking me home, and I had to agree with him because of his insistence
I got out of the car, went upstairs, and found Jack standing on the balcony. He saw Austin sending me home just now.
“Brother Jack, how long have you been standing here?”
Jack did not hear my question but instead asked with his own”Austin sent you home just now, right?”
Now that he knows, I can’t hide it anymore, so I agreed. “Yeah.”
“Do you like him, Acacia?”
I don’t know how to answer Brother Jack, because even I myself don’t know what the answer is.
Jack touched my head and said with great kindness: “If you surely like Austin, stay with him. Your brother doesn’t want to see you so confused. As long as you can be happy, your brother can die alone.”
“Brother Jack, don’t say those words. You will undoubtedly meet the right woman for you. In my case, I’m uncertain about my feelings for Austin yet.”
“Acacia, it doesn’t matter. Take your time, I’ll support you no matter what you decide.”
“Thank you Brother !” His unconditional support touched me deeply in my heart.
[Frank’s POV]
At the wide airport, I got off the plane. This time I came here to perform a task. I haven’t been here for so long that everyone has forgotten about me. I’m Frank.
As soon as I got off the plane, I had a phone call with my friend and former schoolmate, which is Austin. Austin was going to hold a welcome party for me, so he went to Acacia and asked her to join him. Acacia has a little impression of me because we met at her school before.
Austin brought Acacia, and she looked a little familiar to me, like the girl who rescued me from that dungeon many years ago. After I ran out that time, I went back to look for her again, but there was no route there, so I had to give up.
Now seeing her again, I am very excited: “Are you the girl who saved my life from that dungeon?”
Acacia recalled it and nodded silently: “It’s just a little thing.”
Acacia is worried Jack would be anxious if he couldn’t find her, so she was eager to go home. Austin had to lie by telling some made up stories about her about her biological parents. After listening, she did not leave.
But I was not calm when I heard their conversation. Acacia is looking for her biological parents. She looked so much like my mother. Could she be my biological sister?
So I asked, “Are you looking for your biological parents?”
Acacia replied”Yes, I am.”
I was so surprised: “I have been looking for my sister who has been missing for many years now. I wonder if we are brothers and sisters.”
“What?” As Austin listened to my words, he appeared dazed and asked: “Is that true?”
We will only know when we do some DNA testin. However, we look so similar, so maybe there is an 80% possibility.”
Acacia was in a trance, immersed in the joy that she might have found her family, and hesitated at the same time. Knowing that Jack always worries that she would leave him when she found her biological parents. Even though she promises him all the time that she would stay.
Unexpectedly, Jack came running into the party in anger. He’s angry at Austin for taking Acacia away.
“No, brother Jack, it was Mr. Frank who came here today asking me to join him.”
Jack looked up and gave me a look, and there was a brief panic in his eyes, but it soon disappeared.
Jack then said “Acacia, let’s go. Don’t stay with these people.”
I quickly stopped him: “Pardon me, please! Acacia might be the sister I’ve been searching for all this time. I want to take her for a DNA test.” Looking at Acacia’s pleading request, Jack finally agreed.
We did the test, and it will take another two days to get the result. I am looking forward to the result and sending the information that I have found my sister to my parents who are traveling.
Two days passed quickly, but it felt like a long time for me. I called Acacia. She was on her way and insisted on not getting picked up at her house. However, an accident occurred involving Acacia. A sports car hit her.
She was lying on the ground bleeding. I am not aware of what occurred at the time, so after waiting for a long time without seeing her. I went to get the results by myself. The results show that there is no connection to her and myself and I was hugely disappointed by it. Jack found Acacia when he passed by and quickly took her to the hospital. She was seriously injured, and Jack was going crazy.
Austin got the news and rushed over. Acacia’s operation is unsuccessful. The doctor said that she had gone into a vegetative state, and her chances of waking up were slim.
Seeing his beloved girl in such a state, Austin investigated the matter, and the result infuriated him. Everything was a fruit of Chloe’s vicious scheme.
Austin went to question Chloe, but she was still pretending to be innocent, which is infuriating. Austin didn’t care to think about the face between their parents and sued her.
When I reached the hospital, I knew Chloe’s targets were Austin and Acacia, so I went to a brawl with Austin, but Acacia was still dying in the hospital bed. So what’s the use of arguing about this now?
