Chapter 519 This Involves Me Too

Ethan’s breath caught. He stepped closer and gently pulled her head onto his chest. “It’s okay. I’m here. You don’t have to be afraid.”

Dawn pressed against him, struggling to catch her breath.

She suddenly grabbed Ethan’s shirt with all her strength.

After a long moment, a low, choked sound escaped her.

“I’m sorry.”

Her voice was hoarse, like a dry well in her throat. She whispered, “How

is he?”

He.

She meant Micah.

According to the police, Dawn had tried to hit Andy with her car, but Micah had intervened.

Ethan lowered his eyes, resting them on the top of her head. “The police said he’s still in surgery. I don’t know the full situation yet, but I already called Tony. He’ll follow up on this.”

Dawn froze, not sure if what she felt was guilt–or something else entirely.

After a long pause, she buried her face against his chest.

Tears quickly soaked through his shirt as her voice trembled. “I’m sorry… I’m really sorry. I didn’t mean to, I really didn’t.”

“I know.” Ethan’s hands moved gently, stroking her hair. “No one will blame you. You can tell me exactly what happened. I’m here, okay?”

The woman in his arms didn’t move or speak.

Finally, after a long while, she lifted her head. Her face, pale from holding her breath so long, had a faint return of color. Her red–rimmed eyes were filled with emotions that felt ready to swallow her whole.

“I got a text from Micah last night. He asked to meet me. When I arrived, it was just him. And then, Andy showed up.”

Her voice was low and hoarse, barely audible.

Ethan forced himself to stay calm. “And what did you talk about?”

Dawn bit her lip; the muscles in her jaw trembled.

What did we talk about?

So much.

Andy had told Micah to leave, but he refused.

“This is between her and me. You don’t get involved. Go home.” Micah’s gaze burned into Dawn; anyone unaware might have thought they were enemies.

Andy’s face looked especially stern under the streetlights. The coffee shop nearby had closed, and on the empty street, there were only the three of them.

He couldn’t just leave Micah there.

“Go home.”

Seeing the younger boy sitting still, Andy’s voice lowered. “What are you trying to say to her? Whatever you want to say, she probably already knows. Speaking now will only make things worse for both of you.”

Micah paused, his red eyes flicking toward him. “Are you really thinking about us or just scared?”

Scared?

Dawn had stayed silent, listening to the brothers bicker.

But at the word scared, her brows furrowed instinctively, and she glanced at Andy.

Three years had passed. His face had been worn down by sun and wind, more rugged now, his emotions harder to read.

At that moment, Andy also looked toward her.

Their eyes met. For a few seconds, an unspoken tension spread between the three of them.

Suddenly, Micah stood and stepped between them, blocking Andy’s view. His voice was cold, with an odd edge of irritation.

“Why are you always looking at her? I told you that this doesn’t concern you. I came back, so you can go take a hike or whatever. Stay out of our business!”

Andy’s brow furrowed, his voice low and icy.

“Micah, I’m your brother.”

“So what?”

In Dawn’s memory, Micah had always feared Andy. But today, he seemed to break every boundary as he stared straight at Andy without blinking.

Ultimately, Andy backed down.

Or maybe he just intended to teach Micah a lesson.

“What do you want to know?” Andy stepped past the younger boy, facing Dawn. His voice was deep. “I think I know more than he does. You can ask me.”

“Andy, what the hell are you doing?”

Micah tensed, reaching to grab Andy.

“Can’t you understand what I’m saying? Stay

t of it! Don’t touch her!”

Andy, trained in outdoor fitness and climbing, easily shoved him aside. His sharp gaze stayed on Dawn. She wasn’t sure if she was imagining it, but there seemed to be a trace of mockery in his eyes.

“You just want to know about your mother, right? I’ll tell you right now that your mother did die an unnatural death, and this involves me too.”

The last words hit Dawn like a shockwave. Something inside her shattered.

Ethan’s eyes were calm, the shadow from his hailing any emotion.

He stroked her hair slowly, soothing and coaxing, “And then? What else did he say?”
