Falling For My Ex’s Brother-In-Law Chapter 170: The Bracelet
Anna’s POVThe silence in the car felt heavier than the siren that was on. I sat in the backseat, hands clasped tight on my lap, staring blankly out the window as the city lights blurred past.Why me?Why did Nurse Irene insist on speaking to me alone?She could’ve told the police everything. She could’ve said the name of the person who sent her. But she didn’t. She refused to talk to anyone else. She wanted me. Only me.The thought gnawed at me until my stomach felt hollow. I bit the inside of my cheek, not even realizing it until I tasted the faint tang of blood. My mind wouldn’t stop spinning. Maybe she was scared. Maybe she knew something that would destroy the Quinn family completely. Or maybe… maybe it was worse than that.The officer driving glanced at me through the rear-view mirror once. His eyes were calm but curious, like he wanted to ask what was running through my head. I looked away before he could.I just wanted to get there. To hear what Irene had to say. To finally un
Falling For My Ex’s Brother-In-Law Chapter 169: His Last Chance
Anna’s POVKristoff’s expression changed so fast I almost missed it.For a split second, there was anger… it was raw and sharp, flashing in his eyes like a blade catching light. But then, just as quickly, it was gone… replaced by that familiar smile.That fake, perfectly practiced smile I’d seen too many times before.It wasn’t kind.It never was.That smile always came when he wanted something… or when he already knew something I didn’t. And in that moment, with the faint hum of the hospital machines behind us, I had this creeping feeling that I was missing a piece of the puzzle… I was so sure.He leaned casually against the wall, pretending to listen as Rissa turned to me, her voice bright with relief.“Anna, how’s my brother?” she asked eagerly. “They said he’s awake… is it true?”I nodded, forcing a small smile. “Yes. Alex woke up, your mum came to see him too” her face changed at the mention of her mother.. I caught it and decided to continue. “The doctors said he’s recovering w
Falling For My Ex’s Brother-In-Law Chapter 167: The Devil in Silk
Anna’s POV“Anna?”The sound of my name made me freeze mid-step. I turned around slowly, my fingers still curled around the door handle. Mrs. Quinn stood just outside Alex’s hospital room, the same door I had closed seconds ago.She wasn’t far down the corridor… she was right there, framed by the doorway like some ghost I couldn’t seem to escape. Her expression was unreadable, though there was a strange stiffness in her posture, a careful control that only made me more uneasy.For a heartbeat, I thought about pretending not to hear her. About walking away and saving myself the headache. But something in the form of curiosity, defiance or maybe both… glued my feet to the ground.She took a few steps forward, her heels clicking softly on the tiled floor until she was only a few feet away. Her tone was calm, almost too calm. “Can we talk?”I let out a small, humorless chuckle, my lips barely moving. “Do I have a choice?”I didn’t wait for an answer. I crossed my arms, standing still, try
Falling For My Ex’s Brother-In-Law Chapter 167: A Vow of silence
Anna’s POVI stood in front of the door, my hand hovering over the knob. The scent of medicine drifted through the air, sharp enough to sting my nose. I could hear the soft beeps of the monitor.For a long moment, I couldn’t bring myself to move.“Calm down, Anna. Breathe.” I willed myself as I inhaled and exhaled simultaneously.“He doesn’t know anything about the last 24 hours… and he doesn’t have to know..” i told myself..“…at least not yet.”He is still recovering. He doesn’t need to be bothered with everyone’s safety and health. The image of Nanny Flora’s pale face and the faint beep of her heart monitor flashed through my face. He’d never be fine seeing her in that condition, but I forced the image away. I needed to keep it together… for him.I smoothed down my hospital gown wishing fot a slit moment that I had changed into something more presentable first, i ran my fingers through my hair, and drew in a slow breath before finally twisting the knob and pushing the door open.Al
Falling For My Ex’s Brother-In-Law Chapter 166: He’s Awake
Anna’s POVThe door creaked open softly causing me to look up, and when I did, Rissa stood there… her lips curved into a small smile. It wasn’t her usual bright one, though. This one was faint, tired, forced.Still, I smiled back. “Hey, You’re back!” I said, relief in my voice.She nodded and stepped into the room. But my eyes quickly darted behind her. No one followed. My heart tightened. “Where’s Nanny Flora?” I asked.The question stopped her in her tracks. The smile on her face fell apart instantly. She hesitated for a moment, then walked over and sank into the chair beside my bed. Her silence said everything.“Rissa? Did you hear me?” I whispered, the unease rising in my throat. “Where’s Nanny Flora?”She still didn’t answer.That silence… it was worse than words. It made the room feel colder. I adjusted myself on the bed, my hands gripping the blanket. “Did she go home? Would she be returning soon?…”But the door burst open before I could continue.Two nurses entered, pushing a
Falling For My Ex’s Brother-In-Law Chapter 165: The Truth Revealed
Rissa’s POV The door slammed shut behind them. For a moment, I couldn’t move. My mother’s hand had been gripping Nanny Flora’s wrist so tightly, dragging her out of the room as though afraid her words might poison the air if she stayed a second longer. If she was this afraid, that means she was as guilty as can ever be. The silence that followed was heavy, stifling. I looked at Anna for a moment, she sat upright on her bed, her eyes wide, face pale. The faint hum of the hospital machines filled the void between us. I swallowed hard, my voice shaky. “You heard that, right? Anna…tell me you just heard Nanny Flora calling my mum Little Sister.” Anna’s lips parted, but no sound came out. She just nodded weakly, her expression still clouded with disbelief. “Oh.. This has to be a joke…” I whispered, pacing a step, my fingers tangling in my hair. “It just has to be.” I laughed but it came out as a short, humorless sound. “I mean… Nanny Flora has always been our nanny. Sure, Mum gave
