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.
