Chapter 1079 We’re Enemies

Zephyr straightened up and curled his lips before looking softly at Narissa. "I told you I have a younger sister. I didn't lie to you."

Narissa was rooted to the spot. So, he didn't lie to me when we were beside the cliff at that time. He really has a younger sister he has to take care of.

While she was still in her thoughts, Zephyr suddenly approached her and hugged her. "Thanks for bringing her back."

Narissa subconsciously stiffened, for she was surprised by the man's hug. While feeling uneasy, she wasn't sure where she should place her hands.

When Jamie saw the scene while coming downstairs, his heart was riddled with complicated feelings.

Zephyr knew his boundaries, so he soon stepped away from the woman. Then, he looked at the others and announced, "Let me introduce her to you. She's my twin sister, Maisie. I was born only an hour before her."

"I'm sorry for troubling all of you. Thanks for saving me." Maisie nodded and expressed her gratitude.

Due to her temperament, she sounded dispassionate. However, all of them didn't mind it. Instead, they felt sorry for her because of her illness.

"We're friends, so there's no need to be overly polite." Danny waved his hand to motion for her to be at ease. Then, he explained, "Since you've returned safely, we're supposed to hold a welcome party for you. However, it's a special period, so we have to keep a low profile. We'll throw the party for you when all the problems are settled."

"I'm happy that I'm back by my brother's side, so I don't want to keep troubling you anymore. You don't have to hold a party for me." Maisie frowned and appeared slightly reluctant.

"It's not troublesome at all. Everyone will be happy to attend the party," Danny replied.

"Forget it. Since Maisie is ill, she can't be in a noisy place." Zephyr stepped forward and helped her out of trouble.

He understood his sister very well. Having been ill for years, she had lost all enthusiasm and expectation for life. A clamorous place was no different from torture to her, so it was only natural that she was reluctant to attend such a party.

Maisie gave him a grateful look. They understood each other without a word.

"It's my fault for forgetting about it." Danny smacked his forehead with frustration. "We'll talk about it when Miss Maisie recovers. Zephyr, you have to be as good to her as possible!"

Hearing that, Zephyr hung his head low. A shadow formed under his long eyelashes as he appeared dejected.

Meanwhile, Maisie looked uneasy as well.

Realizing that something was off, Danny asked bashfully, "Have I said something wrong again?"

"It's not your fault." Maisie forced a smile. "It's a congenital disease, and it's not curable for now. I have to sustain my life with medicine."

At that moment, everyone turned solemn. They knew that Zephyr's sister was ill, but they hadn't expected her illness to be so severe.

"There's no illness in the world I can't cure." Zephyr sounded furious at himself.

Despite that, everyone knew that Zephyr was already one of the best doctors in the world. Since he still hadn't managed to cure his sister by now, it was unlikely that she would recover.

"That's right. There are many miracles in the world, so I'm sure you'll recover." Narissa placed her hand on Maisie's shoulder and whispered, "Although I think your brother is unreliable, that's fine. Elise is a genius, and her son is a prodigy. There's nothing in the world they can't achieve, so you don't have to worry about your illness. A fairy like you is supposed to go out there and show the world your beauty. You'll definitely live over a hundred years old."

Her optimism and enthusiastic expression infected Maisie, who put on a sincere smile.

Zephyr was gratified when he saw that. "Other than your remark about me, I usually agree with what you say. Since you've saved my sister, I'll let it slide this time."

Although he was still teasing the woman, his attitude was much gentler.

"Stop distorting the facts. It's me deciding not to settle the score with you for little fairy's sake." Narissa examined him and said contemptuously, "Are you two really twins? She's as marvelous as the stars in the sky while you… I guess I probably shouldn't say it out loud."

Zephyr didn't get mad at her as he said with a faint smile, "You just said you wouldn't settle the score with me."

Narissa was rendered speechless. A moment later, she refuted arrogantly, "I can do whatever I want. It's none of your business!"

"It seems that both of you are on good terms." Maisie smiled brightly. It was her first time seeing Zephyr treating a woman zealously.

"That's not true. We're enemies!" Narissa realized that things were getting out of hand, so she yawned and said, "I'm exhausted, so I'll hit the sack now. See you tomorrow, Maisie."

"I remember dispensing a week's worth of medicine for him. Why has it run out so soon?" Zephyr asked doubtfully.

"I wanted him to recover sooner, so I gave him more pills every time. That's why there's none left," Raymond explained with a smile.

"You can't give him more pills than he should take. There are strict rules when it comes to the amount of medicine and the time of consumption. Once the dosage is wrong, it might cause some counter-effects. I can dispense the medicine to you again, but you must follow the dosage strictly this time." Zephyr understood that Raymond knew little about medicine, so he believed his explanation.

"Don't worry. I won't do it again," Raymond replied politely.

Zephyr nodded. "Come with me."

"Miss Maisie, I'll start pushing you forward. If you want me to go slower, just tell me right away. Don't be shy," Raymond whispered.

"Thanks." Maisie gently expressed her gratitude, after which they left Griffith Manor.

After sending her back to her home, Raymond took the medicine and left.

Zephyr brought Maisie to her room and placed her on the bed before covering her with a quilt. It seemed that he was used to doing it. Maisie looked dazedly at him. Out of the blue, she asked, "Are you in love with someone?"

Zephyr didn't deny it, but he wasn't willing to dwell on this topic. "You look tired. I guess you didn't get enough rest when you were in captivity. I'll prepare a soothing tea for you so that you'll have a good night's sleep. Since you're home, you can put your guard down. Don't worry. I won't let anyone take you away again."

Maisie's gaze dimmed. "You were only born an hour before me, so you don't have to exert yourself to take care of me."

"At any rate, I'm your older brother, so I'm supposed to look after you. Don't say things like this again. I'll prepare the tea for you now."
