My brother turned out to be my husband
Chapter 31: The Birthmark of Evans.

Three months later.

As Doctor James had predicted some time ago, Elena's healing process took place in her body three times faster than that of an ordinary human body. Evidently, in just three months the girl has fully recovered and can reactivate like before.

In fact, a commoner who did not know of Elena's condition before, would definitely not have expected her to have experienced such a heartbreaking tragedy some time ago.

Now Elena is busy with her college activities as a new student at the same campus with Albern, the lover.

In the past, that moment was the moment he had been waiting for. Elena no longer feels the same. Though he had also tried to revive all his memories and feelings for Albern. He spent more time with the man almost every day. But the result is still nil.

Instead of loving Albern more and more, he put more and more feelings on his own brother.

Elena tried her hardest to deny her feelings. The girl even got angry and cried for days. He rebuked Iris and asked the woman to leave without needing to help him.

Elena did not care at all, that she could live because a part of Iris's soul was inside her body.

But now, Elena tried to accept reality and make peace with the situation. All he can do now is stay as far away from Evans as possible.

Fortunately, for one month Evans chose to move to an apartment that was close to the office. The man also refused all the facilities provided by Simon, such as cars and private drivers. He said he wanted to start living independently as he did abroad. Though without anyone knowing, Evans applies so that Elena can live comfortably at home. Because, she was well aware of Elena's discomfort every time she got close to him.

Elena also looks more mature, independent and no longer spoiled like before. One example is, when the girl never again relied on Lily in doing anything. He never told Lily to take anything again. Elena had even started learning to cook and was willing to help her mother in the kitchen.

For a girl like Elena, the change was enough to leave her family astonished. But they don't dispute it. Instead they feel happy, because later when Elena is more mature, she can live independently.

...***...

"Yes, Brother Jem?" greet Elena shortly after picking up her phone. The girl was driving to the office after college.

"Mr Evans couldn't be reached and I couldn't leave the office. Can you go to her apartment, El?" ask Jemima from behind the phone.

"Did he leave for the office today?" Elena asked back.

"He was comforting himself, but one of the important clients suddenly came to the office without any prior notice. It doesn't feel good if I have to drive that guy home."

"Okay, all right, I'll be there now" Elena replied.

"Thank you, El, I'm counting on you" Jemima said before hanging up.

Elena immediately turned her car back to the Golden Crown Apartment, where her brother lived.

As a secretary, the girl still upholds professionalism. At least, they will only meet during office hours only.

It didn't take long for Elena to arrive at Evans' apartment. The girl took the elevator to the 10th floor and walked to the 1010 unit.

Arriving there, Elena immediately pressed several numbers on the smart lock installed in the unit.

Evans did tell Jemima and her family about the apartment code.

"Sister!" As she stepped in, Elena called out to her sister without saying any greetings first.

The girl peeked into Evans' room where the door was open.

"Where is he?" muttered Elena.

"El!" Evans's voice coming from behind made Elena turn around.

His eyes widened to find the brother had just come out of the bathroom wearing only trousers with no top at all.

Elena was fixated for a moment.

Evans sauntered past the sister to her room. Without even bothering to close the door first, he searched for a shirt inside his wardrobe.

"What's wrong? Jemima called and sent you here?"

Evans' question just made Elena's daydreams fall away instantly.

"Yes, there's a client who's been waiting for you" Elena replied. Initially, the girl was about to turn away from her sister towards the kitchen, but a cross-section wound on Evans' chest distracted her.

Carrying a set of shirts draped in a hanger, Evans walked out of the room and stopped right in front of Elena.

"Today I did not intend to go to the office. You shouldn't have come here, because I just read a message from Jemima" Evans said.

Elena did not respond to the words of her sister. The girl instead focused on looking at Evans' field chest.

Evans, who was about to button up his shirt, gasped when Elena touched the wound on his body.

Evans stared at Elena's sad face. For some reason, that gentle touch made Evans' heart ripple.

"Where did you get this wound?" ask Elena lirih.

"Said Mama and Papa, this wound has been there since I was born. You could say, this is the birthmark I have," Evans replied honestly. He did get the same answer from Madame Maria, the owner of the orphanage where he lived.

Hearing such an answer, Elena became increasingly convinced that the wound was a wound that belonged to Leon who was carried to the figure of Evans.

Regardless of Evans' astonishment, the girl placed her entire palm over Evans' wound.

"It must have hurt a lot" Elena said.

Evans frowned. "It doesn't hurt at all, because it's not a wound."

As if not hearing, Elena continued to mutter the sentence several times.

The longing completely filled the chest cavity of the girl. As much as she tried to refrain from crashing and hugging the figure of the husband in the past, who is now transformed into her biological brother.

Evans clasped Elena's hand in her chest. "El," call the man then.

Elena suddenly flinched. The girl was wide-eyed to find her hand held tightly by Evans. He swiftly pulled back his hand. "Ma—maf, I'm not polite. The wound makes me curious."

"It's okay. Anyone who sees this birthmark must be curious, because it does not look like a birthmark in general. " Ensans buttoned up his whole shirt. "Jemima even accused me of being a gangster because of this birthmark" the man continued, smiling.

"Sir Jemima ever seen this wound?" asked Elena who was surprised.

"Every once. I'm not used to having other people take care of me personally." Evans replied casually. He was completely unaware of the cynical look Elena gave off.

Elena remembered Jemima's words about a private secretary who not only helped take care of the boss's job, but also their personal needs.

Elena shook her head. He won't let Jemima do that again.

Just as Evans was about to take his tie off the hanger, Elena had already snatched it first. As secretary, Elena professionally put it around Evans' neck. Deftly he made a tie knot and tidied it up. After she finished wearing the tie, the girl also helped her sister wear her shirt.

"From now on, if anyone should help take care of your needs, let me. Because after all, I am your own secretary and family. It doesn't feel right if there's another woman who does," Elena said later.

Evans could again only frown. Elena's attitude was completely unpredictable.

Not wanting to worry about it, Evans chose to agree with the words of his sister.

Finished with all his clothes, Evans then put on socks and shoes. Only then did the two of them immediately leave the apartment. Elena carried Evans' briefcase and followed him from behind.

...***...

Evans volunteered to drive Elena's car. The man couldn't have let his sister drive, while he sat sweetly in the back. Although Elena is her secretary in the office, still not all roles must be done Elena.

His regret about the calamity that befell the younger brother made the man completely changed.

...***...

Albern got out of his car with a disheveled face. Furious, Albern removed the lipstick on the corner of his lips.

A moment later, a beautiful woman with a sexy look came out of the car Albern. The woman chases and pulls Albern's hand back into the car.

"Take me off, Chyntia!" exclaimed Albern while removing the hand of the woman.

"You can't treat me like this, Al! You're the one who comes to me and offers me an outlet, every time you get into trouble with Elena. However, when I have received an offer from you, and we've been living it for the past few weeks, why do you suddenly want to let go of everything just like that? Don't tell me you're just using the feelings of my tribe, Albern?"

Albern. The guilt filled his mind. Ever since Elena came back from the dead, the relationship between the two has never been so good. He was well aware of the change in attitude the lover showed.

Not only the attitude, Elena never even wanted to be kissed again by him. The girl was always reluctant to make physical contact with him, even if it was just holding hands.

Every time they meet, all they do is keep quiet with each other while chatting pleasantries.

It sparked a conflict within Albern. To allay his worries, the man chose to have fun with other women.

His choice fell on Chyntia, his college friend who had long harbored feelings for Albern.

Albern softened his attitude and asked Chyntia to leave herself alone.

After the woman's departure, she reached into her phone and looked at Elena's face, which was displayed on the screen.
