Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 983

Three days had gone by.

Brielle seemed as healthy as ever, and Dustin had planned to take her out, but she wasn't having it.

"Bro, don't you still have issues with the Lynch family to sort out? And what about Mom? Last I heard, she was missing. What's the update on that? You told me not to worry, but I can't help it. I don't want her in danger."

Seeing his sister, still fragile from her sickness yet so worried about the family, made Dustin's throat tighten with emotion.

Truth be told, Dustin hadn't cried much over the years, except for when Brielle first went missing. Back then, he had clung to their parents, sobbing and blaming them for not watching her closely enough. But one night, he overheard his mom crying quietly and realized how unfair his accusations had been.

His mom was the last person in the world who would want any harm to come to Brielle. She had endured the pain of bringing her into the world.

Dustin, on the other hand, had only talked to his sister through the expanding curve of his mom's belly, separated by a thin layer of skin.

His sacrifices paled in comparison to what his parents had given up; he had no right to blame them.

Since then, he had been determined to find his sister.

But the world was a vast place, and there had been no news for years.

It wasn't until Dummy's true identity was revealed that he realized someone close had been misleading them all along.

Now, with the Lynch family issues still unresolved, he didn't want Brielle caught up in it. But was his overprotective instinct really what was best for her?
