My brother turned out to be my husband

My brother turned out to be my husband
Chapter 48: A Piece of Memory.


The following days the Wileen family lived as usual. The health condition of Simon, the head of the family, has also begun to improve after heart bypass surgery was performed. Simon was forced to perform the operation after it was discovered that there was more than one heart blood vessel that had a blockage, so the left heart chamber in charge of pumping blood throughout the body did not function normally.


The 60-year-old man has now been moved to the treatment room after a two-day stay in the ICU. Cardiac rehabilitation has also been done since the first day of moving to the treatment room. If the condition continues to improve, Simon will be discharged seven to ten days after the surgery is performed.


However, he still can not do normal activities, because the recovery time needed is about six weeks to three months.


Meanwhile, Evans and Elena continued to carry out activities as usual. Every day they would go to the office and go home from there together.


Elena also spent time with Evans outside office hours. They would eat together at one of Elena's favorite restaurants, or the man would cook dinner for his sister in the apartment.


Although Evans treatment looks very sweet, but the girl realizes that something has changed from her brother.


When viewed from the outside, their relationship does look closer. However, for some reason, not for Elena. The man was trying to keep his distance from her.


Evans was no longer as open as before and rarely spoke pleasantries. But he no longer spoke cruel.


Elena asked about her strange change of attitude several times, and Evans would always answer that she was fine.


Both are now in Evans' apartment. Elena had purposely asked for dinner there instead of outside, so that no one would interfere because she was about to ask the man something.


This time it was Evans who volunteered to cook their dinner. Meanwhile Elena took a shower and changed clothes. Often the intensity of the girl coming to the house makes Elena keep some sets of clothes in the apartment of the brother.


Tonight Elena plans to stay there, because the house feels lonely without her parents.


The food was ready at the dinner table when Elena came out of the bathroom. He rushed to sit at the dining table and waited for the brother who now alternated using the bathroom.


...***...


"Is there anything you want to ask me?" evans asked suddenly, as they were busy with their own food.


Hearing the question Evans asked made Elena almost choke on her food. In a hurry he pressed his glass of water.


"Not exactly know!" yells.


"Nearly ten seconds you always glance at me. Don't think I didn't realize it." Evans turned his head towards the younger brother and looked at him flatly.


Realizing that she could not give up anymore, Elena decided to finish her dinner and asked.


"I knew my brother was hiding something from me. May I know, what is it?" ask Elena.


"Where can you conclude such a thing?" evans asked without taking his eyes off the plate.


"The sea of your face is clearly visible," Elena replied.


"It's your turn to know!" chirped Evans.


Several times Elena was seen breathing in order to endure the patience of the older sister.


"It's like I could never have a normal conversation with him!" grumbled the girl in heart.


"Don't like to draw arbitrary conclusions, I'm just too tired to think about Papa's work and condition" Evans said, standing up from his dining chair. The man cleaned their dinner plates and washed them.


As usual, the conversation just broke off. Elena never tried to force Evans to give an answer. At least, he knew that the younger brother was aware of his different attitude.


After dinner, Elena decided to watch television. Evans continues his pending work. Every now and then, the man asked Elena to join him in his work.


"Learn all this, and bring the file as material at the meeting the day after," Evans told Elena.


No word from the sister made Evans turn his eyes to the girl.


His head shook for a moment, when he found Elena had fallen asleep right next to him.


The man closed the laptop and turned his body to face Elena. With a careful movement, he carried the girl's body towards the guest room.


Slowly, Evans placed Elena on the bed and covered her body with a blanket. Not to forget, he also regulates the temperature of the air conditioner so that it is not too cold.


"Leon!"


Evans gasps. Just as she was about to move from there, Elena's call left her unable to move.


"Leon!"


Evans sat down next to Elena. The man noticed the younger brother, who was delirious in calling his name with his eyes closed.


Initially, Evans was about to wake Elena up, but Elena's next words, made Evans' heart rumble.


"I will keep my promise."


Evans was silent for a moment there. He stared fixedly at Elena's face which now turned into Iris's face.


"Please promise Iris that we'll be together."


"While the earth is split in two and the universe is lost in its clash, I will always love you, Leon."


A handful of their conversations in the past suddenly filled his head.


As if hypnotized, Evans involuntarily brought himself closer to the girl's face, and kissed her gently.
