Chapter 149 The inpatient department had three floors, with only a few rooms faintly lit The nurse was about to lead Wren into one of the lit rooms when he spoke up immediately. "Nurse, please finda private room with better conditions." The nurse glanced at him and reminded, "That will cost extra" "Money is not an issue," Wren replied without hesitation If there were other people in the room, Cara wouldn't be able to rest well or sleep at all.
Seeing his firm attitude, the nurse nodded without further objection and led him upstairs to the second floor.

You even jumped into the water to save her, didn't you? It's such a cold night, but you still risked it "The bond between you two siblings is truly enviable." Wren remained silent, wanting to correct her, but he couldn't find the right words to explain his relationship with Clara.
To others, she was his "sister", yet he knew deep down that what he wanted had never been a sibling bond Long before Chara realized her feelings for him, he had already tallen deeply in love with her For years, he had watched her grow, his heart consumed by possessiveness and love that threatened to swallow him whole. Every moment she was near, he struggled to suppress the overwhelming urge to make her his and his alone.
When he discovered that clara secretly harbored feelings for him, his heart nearly leaped out of his chest with excitement. The adoration in her eyes only pulled him deeper into his infatuation He waited for her to grow up and cof age, so he could finally tell her that he didn't want to be her "brother” But before he could, he uncovered a secret. A secret so shocking that it overturned his entire life. anymore. He wanted to be her lover.
To uncover the truth and to protect her, he had no choice but to reign indifference, distancing himself and forcing his overwhelming love into silence. He even had to endure the charade of being affectionate with Ivy, that hypocritical woman, No one knew how many times he scrubbed his skin raw after touching Ivy, washing away the revulsion until he nearly retched. There was no one he could confide in and no one he could share his pain with Yet, despite all his efforts, things spiraled out of control, culminating in this irreversible situation. He feared that the possibility of being more than a "brother" to Clara was lost forever No matter how much he wanted to tell everyone that she was not his sister but his beloved, he couldn't. He didn't dare upset her, didn't dare take that risk.
Even with his heart weighed down by frustration and unwillingness, Wren was powerless.
The nurse, unaware of his inner turmoil, paid no attention to his silence. She opened the door to a private room, turned on the light, and then walked over to adjust the air conditioning.

The medical facilities in this small town were naturally limited. Even the best rooms in the hospital couldn't compare to the standard of an average hospital room in a big city Still, it was a private room with air conditioning, which was better than nothing The nurse brought over a blanket, while Wren removed the one wrapped around Clara. He placed her gently onto the bed and carefully covered her with the new blanker the nurse had provided.
Every movement was gentle and deliberate, as if he were handling the most fragile treasure.
The nurse couldn't help but admire Wren's tenderness. Despite his disheveled and soaked his noblelanda ke appearance, Naloot demeanor still shone through. His face, sharp and handsome, was striking even in his current state.
Clara was equally beautiful and delicate, so the nurse had no reason to doubt their claim of being siblings, im of being even though their sumames didn't match After all, in this day and age, it wasn't uncommon for siblings to have different surnames, one talking the father's and the other the mother's.
