Chapter 1471 Still on her knees, Carissa felt like a lifetime had passed before she heard Salvador's soft sigh, followed by a quiet chuckle.

"You little fool. Why are you throwing a tantrum?" he said.

A sense of relief washed over Carissa.

He looked at her, his gaze deep and weary. "Tell me, why argue with a man who's almost dead? Are you not afraid I'll tell Nathan you've been picking on me? Don't forget, once upon a time, you used to see me as an elder brother. And I am still your elder brother now."

Carissa turned her head, tears welling up despite herself.

Now, he called himself an elder brother.
