Chapter 226: We’re family
Gwen cried so much she looked like a pufferfish, and Kellen wasn’t such a bad big brother that he’d let her go out in front of her friends like that.
So, he messaged Taylor to ask if she could send some cream or something up for Gwen. Also explaining that he was pretty sure that they had made up. Gwen knew nothing of it, so when someone knocked on the door to the guiding room, she nearly jumped out of her skin.
"D-Did we take someone else’s slot?" She asked, nervous, and Kellen chuckled. She was wrapped around him like a monkey, refusing to let go. It was quite cute, since she hadn’t been like this in years.
"No, I booked off the time. It must be the help that I asked for." She gave him a strange look as Kellen chuckled. "You can come in." Kellen called, and the door opened tentatively. In came one of the medical team Healers, and Kellen widened his eyes in surprise.
"Esper Green sent me instead. I hope that’s okay." They said, and Kellen nodded, smiling. Gwen looked at him suspiciously.
"What did you ask of Taylor?" She demanded, and Kellen laughed.
"Oh, just something to help with your eyes." Kellen responded, and Gwen’s mouth firmed into a thin line.
"Are you fucking kidding me? You told Taylor that?" Gwen was pissed, but she wouldn’t release the hold she had on Kellen either. It was very cute, and Kellen chuckled.
"Awe, come on now. I just thought she was going to send a cream or something. I am very thankful that she sent someone with healing powers instead, aren’t you? Now, are you going to thank them for taking time out of their busy, no doubt full schedule to heal you?" Kellen told her, and Gwen made a face.
The healer was having a hard time trying to approach the two siblings. It felt like they had stepped somewhere they shouldn’t have, especially when they saw the Woods siblings clearly in the middle of a moment. The only reason they had dared knock was because Captain Thatcher was outside the door, and had encouraged them to do so.
Gwen let out a heavy sigh, causing the Healer to jump, while Kellen smirked knowingly. Kellen knew that his sister would never ignore if someone had come to help them, even if she hated it with every fiber of her being.
