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?"
AdvertisementEllie 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 .
