Her Life Starts to Spin out of Control

Chapter 78 Sibling Reunion

Aaron quickly put on his shoes and ran to Sophia.

They hugged each other happily. "Sister! I'm so glad to see you again!"

"Me too! Why are you still so thin, Aaron?" Sophia smiled, looking at her brother with teary eyes. Aaron

was now a head taller than her. Although he looked healthier than he did two weeks ago, he still looked

like a bamboo stick.

And his dark skin had started to turn pale, the evidence of his suffering slowly fading away.

She knew Colin had hidden Aaron somewhere, but she never expected him to be in the hospital. Her

brother was taking care of their father in her stead.

"I've put on a lot of weight, the hospital food is good!" Everyday, he ate two or three meals in the

hospital.

Sophia nodded. "Aaron, have been you taking care of father all this time?"

"Kind of. Brother-in-law offered me a job, so I've been working as a security guard in the SL Group. The Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

salary is good. He also said that when father's condition improves, he would send me back to school."

Aaron's performance in school was good. But he had to give up studying because of what happened to

their family.

Brother-in-law... Sophia savored the word. And Colin had given Aaron a job. He had also promised to

send Aaron back to school as soon as their father had recovered.

Mixed feelings filled her heart.

She walked up to Jay's hospital bed, where he was sleeping soundly. Aaron quietly briefed her. "Father

is receiving psychotherapy from Dr. Charlie. He seems better with the proper medicine, but he still has

his psychotic moments. But he recognized me today, which is a big improvement!

Sister, have you figured out who the culprit is?" Aaron's cheerful mood disappeared. His eyes were red

with anger as he clenched his fists.

Sophia gently shook her head. "I don't know. The murderer hasn't been found yet."

"Don't worry, sister, brother-in-law is also working on it! I'm sure he'll soon find the person behind this.

When that happens, I'll avenge our parents!" Aaron's eyes were burning with unparalleled anger and

determination.

But Sophia wanted to keep him from the ugly mess. She quickly said, "Aaron, you're still young. You

shouldn't get involved in this. I will talk to... I'll talk to your brother-in-law!"

Sophia stuttered awkwardly as she said "brother-in-law."

"No, sister. I'm an adult now. I want to take responsibility. I'm not a kid anymore!"

Sophia felt bad and tried to smile. "Okay, Aaron. If there's any information, I'll tell you."

"Thank you, sister. Where's my brother?" Aaron took a deep breath to calm himself down and asked

Sophia curiously.

"Today is the birthday of Colin's grandfather. He was busy taking care of the guests when I came here."

"Ah, I see! Sister, you shouldn't have come tonight, it's already so late! You should stay with brother

and come back tomorrow." Aaron brought over a chair, so Sophia could sit down beside the bed.

He started to tell Sophia what happened to him after they were separated.

When the Lo Clan was attacked, Aaron was abducted by several men and sold to human traffickers.

He was caught when he tried to escape. Because of his failed attempt, he was tortured and kept under

strict surveillance.

After being taken to several different countries, he was bought by a coal mine owner in Green Cold

Country. Since then, he fed on dry bread and moldy pickles while being forced to do hard labor.

Back there, no one treated him like a human being.

A year had passed when one day, he happened to see Patrick Lien while delivering coal.

Because of his sister, Aaron had met Patrick several times. Patrick also recognized Aaron after

studying him for a while.

Aaron asked him for help, Patrick walked away without turning back.

After that, Aaron completely lost hope. But weeks later, someone bought him from the coal mine. Later,

he found out that the buyer was Dorothy Lien, who had stolen Sophia's ex-boyfriend from her.

After getting a hold of him, Dorothy kept him locked up. She also whipped him from time to time, as if

she wanted to take out her anger on him.

Aaron didn't tell Sophia about Dorothy's torture. When an opportunity comes, he would pay her back for

everything she did to him.

At 2 o'clock in the morning

In the bedroom, Colin anxiously paced back and forth. Why hadn't Sophia told him that she was going

to visit her father? Why hadn't she come back yet?

That damn woman! Couldn't she stop being so childish? Why did she always have to be difficult with

him!

At half past two

Colin decided to go out for her. Quickly dressing himself up, he fetched the key and rushed out of the Li

House.

Sophia and Aaron were lying down on the hospital bed, when the ward door opened.

Sophia was sleepy, but Aaron sat up and greeted the man who entered. "Brother."

Sophia was instantly awake. She sprang from the bed, and saw Colin approaching them.

"Good evening. I've come for your sister." Colin nodded to Aaron.

Aaron jumped off the bed and urged Sophia, "Sister, quick! Where are your shoes? Brother has come

to pick you up. You should go home with him."

Aaron's happiness was written all over his face. He was completely convinced that Colin was the right

guy for Sophia.

Besides, the Li Clan had done a lot for their family, and he would always be grateful.

Sophia was speechless. "Did I say I would go with him? I've told you earlier, I want to stay here tonight.

Whose side are you taking, Aaron?"

Lying back down in the bed, Sophia turned her back to Colin.

Aaron was shocked. He looked back and forth between his angry sister and Colin. Did they quarrel

earlier?

Colin gave him a reassuring look. Then he approached Sophia and picked her up from the bed.

"Put her shoes on." he told Aaron.

"Yes, sir! Oh, I mean brother!" Despite Sophia's struggles, Aaron easily put her shoes on.

Colin nodded to Aaron. "I'll take her home now. I'll pay Jay another visit as soon as I have time."

"Alright. Take care, brother and sister! Rest assured that I will take good care of father!"

Sophia shot him an angry glare. "Aaron Lo! Even Judas didn't betray his sister!"

"Sister, I'm not betraying you! The bed here is too small. I'm afraid you won't get a good night's sleep if

you stay here. See you!" Aaron showed them out. Fearing that Sophia would jump off Colin's arms and

sprint back, he closed the door behind them as soon as they left.

As they walked away, Aaron quietly listened to the sound of Colin's footsteps. When the sound

disappeared at the corner of the corridor, he opened the door again. He stared in the direction with a

serious look on his face.

'Sister, you mustn't give up on a wealthy and powerful man. Most importantly, he loves you very much.'

he thought to himself.

Aaron believed Colin was the right man for Sophia, he would protect his sister.

He had noticed the changes with Sophia. She was no longer the gloomy and chubby girl he

remembered.

Right now, his sister looked beautiful and confident. He knew it was because of Colin.

And he also hoped his sister wouldn't have to live in hatred like him. It was enough that he bear the

burden himself.

He wished for Sophie to live happily with Colin.

When they catch the murderer who caused tragedy to befall the Lo Clan, he would do everything he

could to repay the Li Clan's kindness.

Above all, he wished for his sister's welfare.

With that thought, Aaron prayed to his dead mother. 'Please help father recover soon, so I can avenge

you and dad.'

In the car

Sophia didn't want to talk to Colin. She leaned against her seat, eyes closed.
