Chapter 64

Chapter 64: Mission Failing Chapter 64: Mission Failing But inside, he was already planning his next move.

“I should go now,” Nurse Courage said, her voice drained of all emotion.

She cast Reuben one last look before turning on her heels and heading back to her car.

Just as her fingers brushed the door handle, the front door behind her creaked open.

A sultry, feminine voice called out.

“Baby, aren’t you done here yet?” Courage froze.

Slowly, she turned back, her heart pounding in her ears.

Standing in the doorway was a young woman, barely covered by the skimpy clothes clinging to her body.

Her eyes were fixed on Reuben, oblivious to the storm she had just unleashed.

Reuben went rigid.

His hands shot up in a frantic gesture, signaling for the woman to be silent.

But it was too late.

Courage had already seen everything.

Understood everything.

Reuben’s face paled as panic gripped him.

He quickly gestured for the girl to go back inside, then, with hurried steps, hobbled toward Courage, his weight pressing on the walking stick.

“Listen to me,” he begged.

“It’s not what it looks like!

She, she’s my sister!

She came to stay with me for a while… to take care of my injuries!” His words tumbled out too fast, too forced.

Courage’s lips parted slightly as she stared at him, her mind struggling to process the sheer audacity of his lie.

His sister?

Really?

Her hands clenched into fists.

The weight of betrayal, humiliation, and heartbreak crashed down on her all at once.
