บททั้งหมดของ TRADING MY EX FOR HIS STEP BROTHER : บทที่ 131 - บทที่ 140

CHAPTER 131: LANDING AT THE HOSPITAL DAMIEN :Kim and I didn't stop chatting. And the rescue guy was impressed. He looked at us and grinned. “You two are something else. Most people don’t make it this long after a crash like that.”I looked at him seriously. “What about the pilot and the hostess? Is there no way their bodies can be brought back home for proper burial? They have families who might want them properly buried.”His face fell a little. “We saw them. I’m sorry. But there's no way we can carry their decomposing bodies here. We'll have to come for them another time. And be well prepared.”I nodded, my jaw tight. “Yeah… I figured.”Kim reached for my hand and squeezed it gently. “You tried, Damien. You did everything you could.”I didn’t say anything. I just held her hand tighter and looked back out the window.Below us, the forest stretched out like an endless sea of green. The wrecked plane was just a tiny silver scar in the middle of it all.For a second, I thought about h

CHAPTER 133: THE MORNING AFTERKIMBERLY:The doctor left as soon as he informed us that someone was here to see us. Damien and I stared at each other. Then he turned to the nurse and asked, “Who is here to see us?”The nurse smiled. “She said she's your grandmother.”My heart lifted. “Grandma’s here?”“Yes, ma’am. Should I let her in?”“Please,” I said quickly.The nurse nodded and stepped aside. A few seconds later, the door opened again, and there she was—Grandma Evelyn. Her silver hair was tied up neatly, but her face looked tired. She walked in holding Kelvin’s arm for balance.The moment she saw us, she stopped, covered her mouth, and burst into tears.“Oh, my God… my babies,” she whispered, her voice shaking.Damien stood up right away, wincing a little as he moved. “Grandma,” he said softly, walking over to her.She threw her arms around him before he could say another word. “Oh, Damien,” she cried against his chest. “You have no idea how scared I was. I thought I’d lost you bo

CHAPTER 135: THE NEW BEGINNINGKIMBERLY:When the doctor finally signed our discharge papers, I swear I almost cried. I was tired of hospital food, tired of white walls, and tired of those annoying beeping machines that never stopped. It was just very boring.Damien handled all the paperwork while I packed up the few things we had.As we walked out of the hospital, the sun hit my face, and I just stopped there for a second, breathing it in. I enjoyed the fresh air. And real sunlight. No wires, no needles. Just peace.Damien’s new driver, a tall man in a black suit and shades, stood beside a sleek black Bentley. “Welcome, Mr. and Mrs. Carter,” he said, opening the door for us.Damien nodded stiffly while I offered him a warm smile.The drive to Manhattan was quiet but peaceful. I leaned my head on Damien’s shoulder, watching the city lights grow brighter the closer we got. The whole time, I was wondering what our new home looked like. I had seen a picture of it yet I wanted so badly to

CHAPTER 137: The Truth Closing InDAMIEN:The following morning, I sat in the living room, one hand holding my phone, the other rubbing my temple. Sunlight poured in through the wide glass windows, bouncing off the marble floor. The place was quiet, exactly what I needed now as I tried to gather my thoughts. Kim was still asleep upstairs, and I didn’t wanna wake her, especially after the panic attack she had last night. She’d been through enough already.I was halfway through sipping my coffee when my phone started ringing. I looked at the screen — Grandma Evelyn.I sighed. Here we go.“Hey, Grandma,” I answered, trying to sound calm.Her voice exploded through the speaker before I even got a chance to say another word. “Damien Carter! You better start explaining yourself right now! I went to the hospital this morning, and they told me you and Kim have been discharged! Where are you? Why didn’t you come home?”I pulled the phone away from my ear for a second. “Grandma, please—”“Don’

CHAPTER 139: PAYING GRANDMA A VISIT KIMBERLY:When I walked into the living room and saw Damien having a discussion with Roy, I knew whatever they were talking about was serious because the look on Damien's face was furious. But since he said it wasn't something I should worry about, I decided not to push further.Instead, my focus shifted to Grandma Evelyn. She has been more than a grandma to Damien and I. She was the one who bought us new phones while we were still at the hospital.“So,” I said, turning to Damien. “Are we visiting grandma this morning?”“Yeah,” he said, setting his phone aside. “I was thinking we should go see Grandma after breakfast.”I smiled. “Finally. I miss her already.”He nodded, running a hand through his hair. “Me too. And if we don't go to her now, she’ll start calling nonstop. She’s mad we didn’t go back to the estate after leaving the hospital. I had to lie that we stayed in a hotel.”I laughed softly. “You and your games. You could’ve just told her we
