Chapter 111: AUBREY WAS IN THE HOSPITAL
Before things escalated further, Lucian opened the door, and Valerie almost fell since her back was pressed against the door to prevent her brother from entering her apartment.
Valerie lost her balance, but thankfully, Lucian was right behind her to steady her again.
"What is it? Is there something wrong here?" Lucian trained his eyes on Marcus.
The argumentation stopped. Marcus sized Lucian up and down, but Lucian’s eyes fell on Marcus’s hand, which gripped Valerie’s tightly.
"Do you have a problem here?" Lucian didn’t believe that easily.
"It’s okay; everything is fine here. He is my brother." Valerie half-heartedly introduced Marcus to Lucian.
She dismissed the tension quickly because she didn’t want this to escalate further. It will only cause more trouble.
Lucian looked at Marcus, who smiled at him smoothly, but thankfully the latter behaved this time.
"Yeah, I am here to visit my sister," Marcus said. "Can I come inside?" Valerie looked at Marcus. She was scared out of her mind if Marcus entered the room, but Lucian came to her rescue.
"Do you want him to get inside?" Lucian asked Valerie. He could sense how uncomfortable she was.
But for the sake of peace, she let him in, or else her brother might cause a ruckus. "Yes, it’s okay."
