After Sandy's words, Anthony didn't say much. He simply nodded at Sandy and said, "Alright, contact me whenever you need anything. I'll be in Viteto during this time."
Sandy acknowledged with a sound and casually tucked the medicine into her pocket. "Then I'll go pick up my sister."
Anthony nodded. "Okay."
Once Sandy finished speaking with Anthony, she turned to Maya and Kason. She whispered softly, "Kason, Maya, you can head back now."
Maya responded with an acknowledging sound and then looked at Brandon. "Take care of Sandy."
Though this advice sounded simple, it was actually an opportunity for Brandon to have a good conversation with Sandy at this moment.
Brandon nodded. "I will."
Sandy didn't look at Brandon and took the first step towards the exit. Brandon watched her back and followed half a step behind.
After Sandy and Brandon left, Anthony intended to leave as well.
"Mr. Austi."
Just as Anthony was turning around, Kason, who was standing by, called out in a low voice.
Anthony halted his steps and turned to face Kason. "What's up?"
Kason took a step towards Anthony with a gentle tone. "Can we have a chat?"
Anthony narrowed his eyes at Kason and replied calmly, "If you want to talk about Sandy, then I don't think we have much to discuss. Despite Sandy and Brandon still being together, it doesn't prevent me from liking her. As long as she's not married, I have a chance."
Pausing briefly, Anthony continued, "Also, whatever happens between Sandy and me, we'll handle it ourselves. I won't engage in any conversations about her with anyone other than her."
Anthony's refusal was quite clear.
Kason looked at Anthony for a few seconds, then nodded. "I won't bother you then."
Anthony didn't linger and turned to leave.
After Anthony departed, Doctor Dobbin, who had been standing by, approached Kason. "Kason."
After exchanging greetings, Doctor Dobbin turned to Maya, who was behind Kason, and spoke in a low voice, "Maya."
Maya nodded at Doctor Dobbin and said, "You guys talked for quite a while. What was the conversation about?"
"Just some casual chat. We have to thank him for today. Otherwise, even if we rushed over, it might not have been in time."
Maya whispered, "Did you thank him?"
"I did." Kason looked at Maya. "I thanked him twice."
His relationship with Brandon at the time was just that of roommates, and he didn't know about Brandon's connection to Kason. So, he complained to Brandon.
He questioned why love couldn't come first before timing.
Brandon had looked at him and said, word by word, "My older brother is way more handsome than you. Forget about it."
Doctor Dobbin had been shocked by Brandon's response. How had he not realized that Kason and Brandon were blood brothers?
Kason was two years ahead of them.
At that time, Doctor Dobbin had harbored thoughts that, in a little over a year, Kason would be gone from the campus, leaving him a chance.
But by the time they graduated, Kason and Maya's relationship had only grown stronger.
Doctor Dobbin frequently saw Kason visiting Maya.
He even caught Kason shamelessly pressing Maya against a wall for a kiss.
Young and full of pride, Doctor Dobbin had taken out his frustration on Brandon.
That's how his relationship with Brandon improved.
