C109 The Sixth Brother Wants to Love You, but He Wants to Protect You, Lydia.

With all his might, Loran pulled the drowning Reece to the shore.

Seeing the defeated man, Loran did not care about anything else and started to perform CPR on him.

"Sixth Brother!"

"..." The man did not respond.

Loran was so anxious that his eyes turned red. He hastened his actions and called out, "Sixth Brother!"

Under Loran's emergency measures, Reece suddenly spat out a mouthful of water, and he finally reacted.

Seeing this, Loran heaved a sigh of relief.

After resting for a while, he looked at Reece with dissatisfaction. "Sixth Brother, are you tired of living for a broken necklace?"

"..."

Reece did not respond to this question. He only looked at the lake beside him.

After a few seconds, he got up and walked towards the car. "Let's go."

The man did not respond, so Loran did not ask.

Since Sixth Brother did not want to say anything, it was pointless to ask.

It was already autumn, so Loran was afraid that he would catch a cold if he wore wet clothes, so he opened a room nearby and asked his secretary to bring them some clothes.

After they arrived at the hotel, Reece did not say a word.

He just stood by the window, his black eyes looking through the glass window into the distant gray sky. Then, he took a deep breath from the cigarette in his hand.

One, two...

The red light turned dark and bright, and in the blink of an eye, it was the sixth cigarette.

When Loran came out after showering, the room was already filled with smoke.

Loran looked at Reece, who was frowning, and shrugged helplessly.

After following Reece for so many years, this was the first time he saw his brother frowning so deeply.

'Alas!'

'It seems that heroes are always troubled by love.'

That day, Reece was distracted for a long time before he recovered and went to take a shower.

After changing his clothes, he asked Loran to drive him back to the Tillyman family.

Along the way, he didn't know whether it was because of the window or something else, but he felt a little cold. He couldn't help but shiver.

He was in a bad mood, so he didn't care about it at all. He just closed the window and closed his eyes to rest.

He thought that it would be fine to rest, but the more he slept, the colder he felt.

When he arrived at the Tillman family, his entire body was sore and he didn't have any strength left. His head felt like it was about to explode.

He forced himself to relax and walked into the mansion.

"Loran." When the man held the metal door handle, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Loran, who was following him.

Loran stopped as well. He looked confused. "What happened, brother?"

"Tell her not to mention anything about what happened today."

Reece didn't want her to feel burdened by it, so he changed his attitude against her will.

He would use his own way to save her heart and make her heart beat for him again.

"…" Loran frowned. He felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"Did you hear that?" Seeing that Loran didn't say anything, Reece asked again impatiently.

"... Yes."

Seeing that Loran had agreed, Reece pushed the door open and walked in.

...

"Mr. Tillman, Mr. Loran, you guys are back. The food has just been served. I'll add two more bowls and chopsticks to your table."

Hearing Mrs. Lopez's voice, the hand that was holding the bowl and chopsticks froze for a second.

Although the two of them had not quarreled in the afternoon, she still felt a little uncomfortable when they met again.

In order to sit on the same table, she put down her bowl and chopsticks and purposely moved away from them.

How could Reece, who was so smart, not see through her intention?

He glanced at the rice in her bowl that had not moved much. Then, she stood up and said, "Just add one pair of bowls and chopsticks to Loran. I'm not hungry and I'm a little sleepy. I'll go back to my room first."

Loran, who could see through everything, looked at his sixth brother's back with a heartache. He clenched his fists. "..."

When she saw Reece returning to the second floor, she was stunned for a moment before she felt relieved.

She thought that she had already made it clear today. He should have given up on her and made up for it.

Well, this was the best.

She sighed in relief and picked up the bowls and chopsticks again. She lowered her head and continued to eat.

Her indifferent reaction made Loran extremely dissatisfied, especially for Reece.

He sat down across from Lydia and glanced at her. He then said sarcastically, "Miss Ellis, your appetite is really good today!"

Lydia ignored him.

She raised her hand and continued to eat. However, in the next second, Loran pulled the plate to the side.

Seeing this, Lydia stretched out her hand to grab the other dish. Loran, on the other hand, was immediately enraged. "Because of you, Sixth Brother almost drowned to death! How could you still eat it?"

However, Loran immediately regretted his words.

He had promised Sixth Bro that he would not say anything, but he had said it out of anger.

At this moment, he really wanted to slap his own mouth.

"What... What do you mean by he almost drowned to death?" Lydia looked at Loran in confusion.

"..."

Facing her question, Loran's mouth opened and he wanted to say something, but he thought about what Sixth Bro had told him and closed his mouth.

He only glared at Lydia fiercely, turned his head and left with a dark face.

However, after taking two steps, she was stopped by Lydia.

"Explain clearly what you just said! What did you mean by that? What happened after I left today?"

"I have nothing to say to you." Loran looked at Lydia with disgust and left.

Seeing that Loran was unwilling to say anything, Lydia smiled and said, "Alright, if you don't want to say anything, then I'll personally go and find Reece and ask him about it!"

In any case, he had to get to the bottom of this matter.

Her face darkened as she walked straight up to the second floor.

"Lydia!" Loran quickly turned around to stop her.

"What? Do you have something to say to me?" Lydia stopped in her tracks and looked up at Loran.

Her sixth brother was Loran's Achilles heel.

If his sixth brother found out that he was disobedient, he would probably lose his life.

But what did he have to say?

After a moment of hesitation, Loran clenched his teeth and decided to tell the truth to Lydia. He then said, "Because of that necklace, Sixth Brother jumped into the lake to search for it and almost drowned!"

Lydia was stunned. Her eyes were filled with disbelief.

Did he really value the necklace that much?

Did he not forget about the kindness he had shown her?

She looked up at the second floor and her eyes were filled with complicated emotions. "Reece, you... Why are you doing this?"

"I don't understand either. Why does my sixth brother have such a deep love for you?"

"Deep love?" Lydia smiled helplessly and refuted in disagreement, "He loves Maria, not me. He only wants to apologize and make up for his mistake."

Why would he love her?

No, it really wasn't like that.

"He's good to Maria because she colluded with the Woodward family and bribed a nurse to pretend to be you. She said that the woman who was guarding my sixth brother was her!" Loran frowned and poked the two of them in the face. "My sixth brother has always loved and protected the girl who was guarding him!"

Hearing the truth, Lydia's mind went blank.
