Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

Chapter 192

To speak without thinking my words through was a big mistake.

I realized how inappropriate those words were as soon as they escaped my lips.

Brandon responded just as I was finding a way to take them back, "Okay."

Had he just agreed to it?

Wasn't he going to hesitate? Shouldn't he reject the offer to save his pride as a man?

Even if Brandon was fine with the idea of being my man, he should have refused to borrow my money. Yet he showed no intention of doing so.

I figured that he must really need the money and desperately wanted to cure his sister. The thought made me sympathize with Brandon, who had always been tough and strong.

The pang of sympathy was unsettling. I cleared my throat lightly, "Have you taken your sister to a doctor? Give me a copy of her medical records. I can get someone to check it out." "Okay," he agreed again.

I stood up. There was nothing more to say. "Thank you for today. I'll get going."

He looked at me. "Call me if you feel unwell."
