Rachel was momentarily at a loss for words.
But she quickly recovered. "You know, the hospital has aides. With your resources, I'm sure you could easily find someone willing to assist for a fee." Brian's expression hardened.

"Fine." Moments later, he said, "All set." However, when Rachel turned back to face him, the sight caught her off guard.
"What's the issue?” Brian asked, looking confused as he noticed her intense gaze.
Rachel's anger bubbled over. "You did it on purpose, didn't you?" Rachel walked forward briskly, her frustration clear as day.
Grabbing the buttons of his shirt, she unfastened them all and carefully rebuttoned them, one by one.
The buttons Brian had just done up were a mess, completely mismatched. On anyone else, it would have looked sloppy. But on him, it somehow had an effortless charm-though she would never admit that out loud.
As she fastened the last button, she spoke, her tone steady but firm. “Brian, I can't keep looking after you forever. I don't know if you did this on purpose or if you really didn't notice the buttons were wrong. Either way, it doesn't change anything." With his status, even if she walked away, there would be no shortage of people eager to take care of him. He didn't need her at all.

Brian met her gaze without hesitation. “He may be reserved, but he has a good heart. I remember you once toldthat he wouldn't even hurt an ant." Rachel couldn't help but feel the bitter sting of irony. She had said those words when Doris framed Jeffrey, but back then, Brian hadn't believed her.
Shaking her head forcefully, Rachel couldn't suppress the storm of m emotions rising inside her. "So what? Just because my brother is kind, he's supposed to forgive Doris?" "That's not what I meant."
"Brian White," she called his nsharply, her voice trembling as tears welled in her eyes. "If I had a choice, I'd rather Jeffrey be cold and unfeeling. But he's not. He's too kind, too pure—so much so that¶feel like I don't even deserve to be his sister. He toldDoris is your sister and that you love her. If he didn't forgive her, it might put a strain on our relationship. He knows your family is powerful, your status untouchable. So he's afraid. Afraid that if he stands his ground, I won't be able to marry you. Afraid that you'll walk away from me. And worst of all, he's terrified that if something happens to him, I'll be left with no one. That's why he swallowed his pride and forgave her.”
By the tshe finished, she was sobbing uncontrollably. She crouched down, grief etched across her face But as the thought sank in deeper, she realized she had no right to be angry at Brian. Jeffrey had done. it all for her. The only person she could blwas herself.
