Chapter 279

Henry was slightly surprised. The deep and intense look in his eyes changed quickly.

His handsome yet slightly mischievous face showed a hint of disappointment

Henry gazed Madeline's profile in silence. Gradually, a faint smile graced his lips, and his eyes began to glisten with emotion.

Madeline frowned in confusion and looked at Henry. "What's

's wrong?" she asked.

"Nothing." Henry murmured, pressing his lips together, and coughed to cover the lump in his throat. "So, after this, will we still be siblings?

"Or will we be friends? Or just strangers" asked Henry,

His face was serious, and there was an emotion in his eyes that Madeline couldn't quite understand.

Madeline chuckled and said. "I don't know. Let's find out

She pretended to be relaxed as she joked. "Maybe we won't get the chance to see each other again, so it might as well be the same as being strangers

Madeline said so as she tossed the orange peel into the trash can.

She carried herself with an easy grace, no longer cold as she used to be around Henry.

Henry didn't mind what Madeline said. As long as they weren't enemies, he felt thankful.

Henry remembered what he had dope to Madeline in the past and didn't dare to hope for her forgiveness.

He intentionally harmed Madeline. Regardless of being misinformed, he was the one who carried out the act of harm.

This time, Henry got injured because of plain bad luck. He ran into the Willaims family and got caught up in their problems.

Actually, it didn't have much to do with Madeline.

Madeline had already paid all the medical bills, which was more than Henry could ask for.

So, Madeline's words just made Henry really grateful, but he hadn't forgotten his guilt and shame.

Henry was depressed.

He said. "I probably don't look too good right now,

do

Henry tried to change the topic to something lighter. He touched his head, which had been shaved for surgery after the accident. After staying in bed for so long, some hair had grown back in the past month, but not much. With his pale face, Henry believed he looked horrible.

Madeline looked at Henry and shook her head, saying, "No, you look fine"

Henry's rugged features exuded a certain charm, reminiscent of a classic movie star, although his noticeable scars added a distiner touch to his

appearance.

Madeline wanted to reassure Henry not to worry about his looks.

However, she found herself unsure of what to say. She was so accustomed to being tough and distant that it was hard to easily comfort someone she had once hated.

Henry smiled and said, I've never asked you-how did you get into racing? And you're so good at it

"Out in the countryside, you probably didn't drive much, right?

"After you went to school, there shouldn't be much chance for you to race, yet you w "manage that'

"Uh, well." Madeline's eyes sparkled as she thought aloud, "I like watching car racing movies and playing racing games, you know, those computer games.... "Hmm.. I'm really good at playing games. Haven't yo
