When Nolan Chen peeked into his sister's room he was so ecstatic that he dropped all the morning's quizzes he needed to grade in a panic. "You're up and not stuck to a bed. I love seeing you look healthy for once." He threw his messenger bag into the nightstand and spontaneouy hugged her. Ellie made a keening sound of pain and he lessened the pressure to an agrressive hamdshake which hurt too, but Ellie knew better than to complain. Her brother had never held her hands this tight. The emotions rolling off of him felt very strange to Ellie. He perked up, "So now I'll finally have a big sister again now that you're all better?"

Ellie forced a laugh to relieve the tension of the moment. "I guess. Sure. I mean Wu was conplaining a bit about how she has to make up reasons now to see me. Medically she was saying there is not much more to do. She did remind me how important it is to take care of my health and make sure I'm not lacking in food or exercise. You know, the easy things. But basically yes, all thanks to you I'm almost all brand new. I'm like a car that has never been driven off the lot. That is all of this is thanks to you. Wu called it the Chen persistence is why I got all better. You decided I wasn't going to lose the race when all the bets were otherwise. You made me the underdog who finished."

Nolan smiled sheepishly. "Our family now is just the two of us. I just couldn't imagine that anyone would take care of me as good as you do. You are my big sister true. But if roles were switched you would do the same so you can say in a manner of speaking that I was just following your example."

Ellie smacked him softly. "There are plenty of beautiful women that I've seen you bring back to your apartment. What are you saying? You even hit on the company models when I was racing and you dated one for six months. Even if you were alone, you wouldn't be alone for long." Ellie gestured for Nolan to sit as she pulled out the cookies that the kitchen had made earlier. Nolan took one with a look of shame so Ellie stuck one in his mouth. "But, now that this is all over. I am ok again. I can move my feet again. What are you going to do with all the money that Mr Wong has so generously given you. You don't have to finish your degree if you invest it well. Do you want to travel? Am I getting a sister-in-law soon?"

Nolan chewed the cookie with thought. Ellie realized that he had never considered marriage before. She could see it in his eyes that maybe he was now that she was married. Nolan shook his head, "That money ceased to be mine the moment your prognosis chamged. Its just too good to be true. I'm sure Lord Wong will change his mind when he realized you're not as perfect as he hoped. I'm sure you will disagree on something silly at some point. I just don't trust his word. You're not the dead woman he wanted."

"Nolan!"

"What? It's true. The sooner you see that the better."

"I talked to Henry about it earlier today and he said that he wouldn't. His rationale is this marriage furfils the terms of his father's will. Thereby the contract we signed is not void. He gets to keep his company and I get to live my life. I mean me being his wife is not what we thought would happen. But me living was not something that we ever considered."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
