Chapter 271

“That makes sense,” Garrett said, nodding. Then his expression changed and he shot Connor a look. “But seriously, isn’t it a little much for Connor to be making a move on my sister right in front of our house?”
That was pure big brother energy. He hadn’t even had a chance to really meet his own sister yet, and Connor was already trying to get close to her.
When the car headlights swept over them, Connor quickly let go of Lydia and stepped in front of her, almost like he was trying to shield her. He glanced up and recognized the car right away. It was the one her parents always drove. Suddenly he felt a little awkward, almost guilty.
Garrett got out of the car first, giving Connor a look that was definitely not friendly. “Mr. Jefferson, what exactly are you doing here?”
Connor was a few years older than Garrett and used to treat him like a kid. But now, facing Garrett ‘s suspicion, he couldn’t even come up with a comeback. The thought flashed through his mind that if things went well, Garrett might be his brother-in-law someday.
Before Connor could say anything, Lydia peeked out from behind him.
For a second, both Garrett and Lydia just stared at each other.
“What?”
“What?”
Garrett was the first to react, his eyes wide with shock. “Wait… you’re my sister?”
Lydia blinked and then broke into a smile. What were the odds? The person she’d just been in surgery with, the one everyone called a genius, turned out to be her brother. No wonder Dr. Donley had looked so shocked when he saw Garrett’s credentials. He must have put it all together.
“Garrett,” Lydia said with a bright grin as she stepped out from behind Connor.
Cameron and Kylie got out of the car, both of them looking completely confused. “Garrett? Lydia? What’s going on?”
Garrett was practically bouncing with excitement as he took Lydia’s hand and brought her over to their parents Bad Mom remember the surgery 1 did today? I wasn’t alone. I did it with Lydia. She’s incredible. Honestly, I think her skills are even better than mine!”
He still couldn’t believe it. The amazing genius doctor he’d been so impressed by
today was actually his own little sister. It almost felt unreal. Thɪs chapter is updated by
Lydia smiled shyly. “Garrett is amazing too. I learned a lot from him.”
Cameron and Kylie were just as stunned.
“Really? That’s unbelievable,” Cameron said.
“It’s true,” Garrett replied, getting more and more excited as he talked. “The girl who was hurt today was really in bad shape, but Lydia and got her to the hospital and did surgery together. Isn’t that just the craziest coincidence?”
Kylie’s eyes sparkled. “It really is. Garrett, now that you’ve finally met your sister, shouldn’t you give her the gift you brought?”
Reminded, Garrett grinned and grabbed Lydia’s hand, leading her over to the back of the car.
Lydia was surprised. He really got her a gift?
Garrett popped open the trunk, and Lydia’s face lit up. The whole trunk was filled with balloons, music lights, adorable stuffed animals, and gift boxes stacked everywhere.
Garrett reached out and gently ruffled her hair, his voice soft and full of warmth. “Lydia, welcome home. I hope you like all these gifts. If you ever want anything, just fell me and it make sure you getit. And remember, out of all your brothers, I promise I’ll spoil you the most.”
