Furthermore, he was on vacation now, but regardless if he was not, he would still push away some responsibilities to keep her company.

His sister was stunned for a while before smiling. “Aren’t you tired?”

“Not at all!” The man shook his head and then spoke with a serious look on his face. “I’ll never feel tired as long as I’m with you!”

“Xiao Jie…”

Gong Jie stared deep into his sister’s eyes, then told her passionately, “Do you know how much I wish for us to return to the past? That way, we’d always be together and never apart. I want to be the person who’s always next to you.”

His sister’s eyes flickered for a second before she chuckled. “You’ll have your family in the future, just like me. You’ll have a loving wife and adorable children. It isn’t possible to return to the way we were in the past.”

“I’ll stay with you before that eventual day,” he whispered, his eyes turning soft. “l was next to you before we were even born, remember?”

Yes, that was right.

They were fraternal twins.

They had had each other ever since the beginning.

Their mother had once mentioned how they were born, too.

They were holding hands when they arrived into this world. Even when they were sent to the incubator, they did not let go of each other’s hands.

As they grew up, they were inseparable. Both shared telepathy, knowing what the other was thinking without saying a word.

The girl would rejoice when the boy was happy.

The boy’s mood would sink for no reason when the girl was feeling depressed. He would keep her company without complaints or even a word exchanged.

They had identical mannerism, be it laughing or crying.

Their mother had once said that the two of them would mirror each other in whatever they did, even in a simple task like brushing their teeth. They seemed to have a tacit understanding and were the splitting image of each other, especially when they stood together.

‘I was next to you even before we were born.’

Her heart melted at his words as she hugged him in return. “Xiao Jie, I really feel safe with you by my side!”

Her brother had finally grown up. He was no longer the dumb troublemaker she knew from their younger days. The boy had grown up to become someone who was dependable.

He gave her an indulgent smile, ruffled her hair gently, and coaxed, “Get moving! Let me rest for a short while here. You must inform me quickly if something crops up.”

“Alright.”

As she stepped out of the hotel suite, she saw a young man standing outside the door.

He was in a smart suit with his back leaning against the wall. The bespectacled chap looked genteel, but the earpiece he was wearing betrayed his identity as a personal bodyguard.

He drew close when he saw her emerging from the room.

She put up her guard immediately. Just as he was within earshot of her, the man explained, “Miss Yun, don’t be afraid; Mr. Gong specifically assigned me to be your bodyguard.”

So it’s a false alarm!

“I’m going to the hospital now.”

“Sure; let me accompany you.”

She nodded. “Thank you!”

“No worries; I’m merely following the boss’s order.”

When she reached the hospital, her husband happened to be back as well.

He bumped into her as he took his leave from the doctor’s office. Cocking a brow, he asked, “Did you get enough sleep?”

“Yes, what about you? Did you sleep at all last night?”

“I took a short rest inside the car.”

“I saw you coming out from the doctor’s office. What did the doctor say? How’s the condition of my father? When will he wake up?”
