Chapter 37

“I-I know that I’m the last person…that you would want to see in the entire world but you are my sister, Anna and for a long time, I had hated you. I thought I did. You were stubborn and carefree. You…broke all the damn rules and you didn’t care about any of them. Even when you were asked to work in the Rossi Foundation, you declined it just because you wanted to be free. I used to see that as running away from your responsibilities. I saw that as cowardly. I don’t know if I’m making any sense but even if I was the worst brother to you, it hurt me that you never told me about…your tumor. But then I realized that I was never there for you in the first place so I am sorry, Anna . I am sorry for being never there for you. I am sorry for abandoning my only sister and you don’t want to know how scared I was of losing you, Anna. I’ll rather have you hurl names at me and ignore me than for me to never see you again but I want you to know today that I love you. I’ll always be here for you, regardless of our differences.”
Nathan paused, trying to gather his emotions but quiet sobs racked his body and he bent his head as he cried, rubbing his teary eyes with the back of his hand.
“Y-You love me? Are you sure you’re not drinking?”
