NovelEnglishChapter 588: "Guess that means I'm in charge of your hair from now on." Deep down, Rachel knew that would never happen. Still, she figured Carol would be pleased to see them so in love. If Brian was willing to play along, she might as well, too.
She offered a small, bashful nod and said cheerfully, "All right." Carol beamed with satisfaction but made sure to remind Brian, "After you get married, you can't be as carefree as before. You need to be responsible and cherish Rachel. If you ever mistreat her, even after I'm gone, I won't forgive you." Brian frowned, visibly annoyed. “Grandma, don't talk like that. It's too depressing." Carol remained calm. "Life and death are inevitable, Brian. I've made peace with that, so you should, too. As for the checkups, I insisted on keeping you in the dark. Don't blanyone for it." She had already guessed what was weighing on Brian's mind.

"Your wound keeps reopening. The doctor said if it happens too often, it could get infected- and that's dangerous." His calmness only fueled her frustration. "Brian, are you deliberately trying to make things worse for yourself?" Brian held Rachel's hand firmly, his eyes hopeful as he gazed at her. “Are you concerned about me?" "Obviously I am," Rachel replied, trying to pull her hand free, but he refused to let go.
"I still need your help to get my brother out," she added casually. At that, Brian relaxed his grip.
"Looks like I misunderstood," he muttered with a hint of disappointment.
