The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

The two left the hospital room in silence.

Once they were in the elevator, Willa turned to Ronald, and after a long pause, she asked, "When did you start falling for Kari?" "It's been a while."

Ronald knew he couldn't hide it.

"I'm sorry," he said somberly. "I know you've always treated me like your own son, and I've tried to be a good brother, but Kari... she's different for me--" Seeing Ronald's flustered state, Willa felt a mix of frustration and sympathy: "Why are you panicking? I'm just asking. I'm not against it."

"You and Kari grew up together. I've seen how much you care for her. If you two ended up together, I'd have no regrets."

"You're not upset?"

"Why would I be?" Willa shook her head. "You two aren't blood-related."
