Wed to the Billionaire Brother of My Spouse by Doris

Chapter 8 Six Years Ago

"Bro..." Daniel was scared too, but at the same time, he was astonished. Ethan, who detested strangers coming close, was acting out of character today.

"Sorry, Ethan. Serena was in a car accident and needs a kidney transplant. Jasmine owes Serena big time, and I was afraid she'd pull some stunt, so I brought her here to stay for a few days," Daniel hurriedly explained.

Ethan didn't make a sound; he was never one to meddle in other people's business. Especially not Daniel's.

Daniel's face darkened even further. He couldn't believe a five-year-old could say something like this. Unless Jasmine coached him...
