Brother Luck(not) のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 131 - チャプター 140

"Ms. Xandersis." A familiar voice from behind stopped me from pressing the door knob. I turned my head and was slightly incredulous to see Mr. O'Connor standing not far from my position. But what I didn't understand was, why was he here? Does he know about our problem?"Is Xelle with you?"I was too shocked to realize Mr. O'Connor was finally right in front of me. Oh, he came here to find Axe, maybe he had something important to talk about that he took time out of his busy schedule to see Axe.I blinked for a moment to neutralize my facial expression, then nodded in response. Axe had been in the room, but he was indirectly with me. I'm the one who's always by his side these days, so there's no mistaking why Mr. O'Connor is looking for Axe through me first."Can you get him for me?""Yes, sir, sure," I said simply. After which I quickly resumed my pending action. God! My breath hitched roughly as soon as I opened the door to find Axe still comfortably sleeping on his stomach. He's re

"Lie down, Axe," I said, patting my thigh lightly. I sighed resignedly as Axe continued to walk back and forth in place while occasionally looking at Edward who was still faithfully closing his eyes. Even though the doctor had told him that Edward would most likely wake up later in the afternoon, there were still a few more hours for him to be patient. But Axe didn't seem to care what the doctor said, even he ignored my persuasion.He was still so focused on Edward, although every now and then I heard him exhale harshly. I wanted to persuade Axe again, but seeing him in a frenzy, I abandoned my intention and got up from the sofa I was sitting on.My hand moves to pat Axe's shoulder lightly and I smile as he gives me his attention. At this moment I wanted to excuse myself to go to the cafeteria, my throat felt dry especially when I heard Axe's explanation about Mr. Hero during the trip to Edward's hospital room."I'm going to get a drink. Can I get you anything?"My question succeeded

"Are you f*cking kidding me? What the hell is this?" Axe asked, staring in disbelief at what was written on the paper in his hand.I also can't lie that the fact that we just received hit the reality that we had always believed. Was it true that Axe and Mr. O'Connor's names and the bolded 'positive' result were part of our new journey?Yes, the test results revealed a DNA match between Axe and Mr. O'Connor. However, what I don't understand is why Mr. O'Connor would suddenly do such a thing without informing the person involved, Axe. I mean, since when did he plan this covert activity? Was the sample of Axe's blood that he asked Doctor Arnold for back then, as I recall, the most appropriate conclusion I could draw right now?"I don't want to beat around the bush. What you've seen on the paper is true, you're my son. The son I thought was gone when I was first born."Mr. O'Connor paused his sentence for a moment to watch the reaction of Axe, who I'm sure was trying to hold back from an

I sighed heavily waiting for Axe not to speak since the end of our meeting with Mr. O'Connor in front of the lab. My father-in-law, now that I could call him that, had a sudden emergency call, though I was sure he still wasn't willing to leave Axe after making the man look like a lifeless statue."Speak up Axe. I won't understand your needs, if you keep quiet like this."I slowly ran my hand through his brown hair that was beginning to grow long and prickly. We were currently sitting in front of Edward's waiting room. Axe didn't move once he found a comfortable chair, even though I repeatedly invited him to enter Edward's hospital room. Perhaps Axe didn't want to add to the burden on Edward's mind, who had regained consciousness yesterday afternoon, although he was required to rest."Don't keep this up, Axe. Aren't you happy to know I'm not your sister?"I said that on purpose, even though it wasn't what made Axe's mind wander. But it was clear that my words had

"Sure," I replied as quietly as possible for fear of waking Axe."We need space. I need a one-on-one talk with you," he continued to which I only responded with a hesitant shake.Axe had just fallen asleep and I didn't want to wake him up at all. The poor guy was exhausted, I was afraid the slightest movement would wake him up."Just here, Dad." Yesterday in Axe's presence, Mr. O'Connor had asked me to call him by that title, there was no way I could refuse-he was also my father now."Axe could wake up if I move," I continued carefully. Incidentally, Mr. O'Connor had also told me to stop being so formal with him by not speaking too reluctantly."This is important. Xelle must not know what I'm going to say." Mr. O'Connor gave his son a worried look before finally turning to me with an unreadable look."Axe is already fast asleep. I'm sure he won't be able to hear our conversation."My sentence ends with a long sigh from Mr. O'Connor, who then walks over to
