Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 723: I'm taking charge

Meanwhile...

Standing outside the hospital ward, Yugi gazed through the window at Nina, who had set up a makeshift office with a small coffee table and a desk lamp, working at this hour while keeping watch over Finn.

A quiet sigh escaped Yugi as he glanced from Nina to the person lying on the bed. "No wonder Penny told me to send someone to check on this guy," he murmured, then knocked gently on the door.

Yugi carefully slid the door open, peeking inside, which caught Nina's attention. "Hey," he called softly, watching Nina smile at him and stand up.

"Yugi," she replied, hurrying to the door. But instead of going inside, Yugi stepped back, prompting Nina to join him in the hallway and close the door behind her.

As they stood face to face, Nina's smile stretched in relief. Her eyes scanned him up and down, exhaling softly; it had been a while since she'd seen him. Though Penny often spoke of him and reassured her that Yugi was fine, she missed him just as much as Jessa and Yuri did. freewebnovel.com

How could they not miss his rebellious and ridiculous comments that often made the house lively?

"I missed you, Yugi," she said, stepping forward and wrapping her arms around him. "Did you visit Aunt Jessa and Yuri? They missed you a lot, you know. There's never a day Aunt Jessa wouldn't talk about you."

"You mean not a single day she didn't curse me?" Yugi glanced down at her. "Why are you hugging me? This is... cringe. Get off."

"Hehe." Nina chuckled but didn't let go, resting her head against his chest. "Did Aunt Jessa and Yuri ask you to come?"

"Well... tch. Why don't you let go first, then we'll talk? You're suffocating me," he suggested irritably, but Nina held on stubbornly. Eventually, he stopped wiggling and let her be. "Yeah, they asked me to visit you because they're worried. They thought you'd worry more if they were worried about you, so they sent me to check in."

"Haha. Did they?"

you'd worry about them but not about me?
