Kerry Ye knew what was going on and hurriedly said, “Tell me when you get better.”
“No, brother. I’d better make it clear now.” Kevin Ye was very determined.
Kerry had no choice but to sit down.
Kevin was leaning against the headboard, whose face was still a little pale, “Where should I start? I’m
afraid that I’ve made a lot of mess.”
Kevin sighed and laughed bitterly, “I’ve been by myself all these years and always wanted to come
back, but I didn’t know how to face you, so I hesitated again and again. Only this year did I make up my
mind, but when I came back, I found out that you were married. I felt very uncomfortable, because I felt
that it wasn’t fair that I was working so hard out while you were here enjoying everything!”
Kerry listened to him without interrupting.
“So, I also wanted to make you feel bad. That’s why I did a lot of bad things. Do you remember the time
when Venus Mu and I had a car accident?”
Kerry nodded, “Yes. That time you all went into the hospital. Luckily, you were both fine.”
“Actually that time, it was Xinyou Qiao who deliberately pushed Venus into the middle of the road. She
had pre-arranged a car to run her over and I happened to be nearby, so I saved her.”
Kerry looked at him in surprise, “But didn’t you say…”
“It was me who covered Xinyou up.” Kevin said frankly, “Because if you knew the truth, you would
definitely kick her out of Ye family, and that would be too happy for everyone. I said that I didn’t want to
you to be happy.”
“Kevin...” Kerry looked at his brother with a lonely expression, but there was no anger inside him, only
regret.
“There were many more things like this. Then you wanted to kick Xinyou out of the house, but I also
made her stay. Also, I deliberately let you misunderstand me and Venus…” Kevin paused, sadness in
his eyes, “Although I liked her a lot, she never knew, and after I confessed my feelings, she rejected
me. The reason that I acted like I cared about her was all to piss you off. Brother, I’m sorry.”
Kerry didn’t blame him at all and he seemed to remember their childhood when he lowered his head
down to admit his mistake.
Walking over to the bed and holding his right hand, he asked, “How about this hand now?”
Kevin didn’t understand what he meant and nodded in a daze.
“What does it feel like?”
“Warm. It’s like the feeling of holding dad’s hand when I was a kid.” Kevin said softly.
Kerry smiled gently, “That’s right. With mom and dad’ s leaving, there were only us in the world. You
are my only brother and you don’t need to say sorry to me. Besides, it’s because of me that your hand
was hurt, so no matter what you do, I will forgive you and support you.”
“Brother, don’t feel guilty. I’m getting better now, aren’t I? In a little while, I’ll recover.” Kevin comforted
him.
Kerry held his hand tightly and said after a moment of silence, “Kevin, if you like…”
“Brother,” Kevin interrupted him because by looking at his face, he had already anticipated what he was
going to say, “I want to study abroad in Europe when I get better.”
Kerry was stunned, not realizing what he meant, “Study abroad?”
Kevin nodded solemnly, “Yes, I’ve been abroad for all these years and every time I saw those students
in school, I was envious of them. I thought that one day I can also learn something that I like. Now I
think it’s the time.”
“But.. aren’t you…” Kerry was still a bit unable to accept it, for he had decided to let Venus go.
“Brother, I have to say that I still like her, but she doesn’t like me.” Kevin lamented, “Life is short, so I
want to find someone I like her and she likes me. Brother, don’t you think so?”
Kerry finally relieved, “Of course, you will definitely find the girl that belongs to you.”
“Geez, after saying this to you, I felt much relaxed.” Kevin was in a good mood.
“From now on, if you have anything, just tell me, okay?” Kerry looked seriously, “And, don’t get drunk.”
“I see.”
Kerry let go of his hand, stood up and said, “Have a rest. I’m going to take a shower.”
“OK.”
Kerry was almost to the door when Kevin stopped him, “Brother, there’s one more thing…”
“Say it.” Kerry leaned wearily against the wall, with his arms around his chest.
With a mischievous gleam in his eyes, Kevin said sincerely, “She is a good girl. Since she married you,
I hope you can treat her well instead of the way you did to her before. And don’t you think you’ve
actually fallen for her?”
Kerry knew he was right.
“Is it really just because of your possessiveness that you forbid other men to get close to her and be
nice to her? If you don’t like her, why did you risk saving her when she was pushed off a cliff by
Xinyou? If you don’t like her, why were you so worried when she fell into the river? And why are you so
nervous when she’s with me? There is only one reason, you are afraid she will leave you…”
“Brother, she has paid a lot for her brother and you really don’t need to always hurt her for that. I’m
afraid that when the day Tianye Mu appears, she really will leave you without any hesitation…”
Kerry didn’t know how he left his brother’s room, or how he walked into Venus’s bedroom, but those
words kept remaining in his mind…
“You are afraid that she will leave you.”
The hot water rushed down from the top and he began to face the true feelings inside him…
“Venus, am I already falling for you? But will you forgive me for all the horrible things I’ve done to you?
Venus, what should I do with you?”
…
The whole day, Kerry was dizzy. Except for accompanying Kevin, he had been in the study, but nothing
could make him cheer up, until Venus stepped into the villa after work. Kerry suddenly realized that he
was waiting for her coming back.
In the living room, Kerry kept looking for her and when he saw her, he was satisfied.
“John, how is Kevin today?” Venus was about to go upstairs when she ran into John, asking.
He smiled and answered, “He woke up early in the morning and was able to eat. Dr. Han said that he
was recovering well.”
Venus was relieved, “That’s good. I’ll go to see him.”
