When You Are Mine
Chapter 189 - Brother's Love
"Lair are we still moving out?" Amy asked as she watched Lair work with his laptop.
"Yes" He replied without looking at her.
"Have you chosen a place yet?" She asked him.
"No, I'm still waiting for the agency I contacted to call me back"
"But are you sure you want to move out with me? I mean your one month leave is already over. And you're supposed to return back to work. You don't have to stress yourself out with this. I can do it myself" Amy said. She knew how much stress her brother had been going through because of her. He's completely swarmed with work despite the fact that he was supposed to be on leave, but still he was taking care of her and helping with all her problems.
"What, you don't want me here anymore?" Lair looked up at her, faking a pained expression.
"Of course not. I want you here. Why would you even say that?" She smacked him on his arm.
"Well don't worry yourself too much. I'm not leaving your side anytime soon" He told her.
"Huh, what do you mean? What about your work?" She asked in confusion.
"What about it? I'm still an adjunct lecturer"
"But you love being a surgeon,wasn't that why you left home in the first place, so you can do what you love?" Amy didn't understand what he was trying to do. Was he giving up his dreams? Because of what?
Lair turned to look at her more intently. "That was a mistake I made. I shouldn't have left you all alone. I was supposed to look after you as your big brother despite knowing how dangerous it was leaving you under the same roof with mother. You're our only princess, and as such you should be well looked after and well protected even if it's from our own mother" He said calmly. His words made Amy emotional, she stood up and wrapped her arms around him as she sobbed lightly, making Lair chuckle.
"What about your…"
"Don't worry, I know you're proud to have a handsome brother like me as a medical doctor, you just can't stop gloating to people about it"
Amy nodded her head. "How did you know" She said in between sob.
"I know my baby sis the most. But don't worry I can be a doctor anywhere. I dropped some applications at some hospitals here, and I'm pretty sure they'll start fighting to bring me in soon. You know how capable your brother is right?" He asked trying to ease her mood.
"I know he's the best" She muttered, burying her face on his shoulder as she continued to sob.
"Stop crying. You're such a big baby." He teased.
Amy smacked him on his shoulder as she lifted her head to wipe her face. "At least you have a baby to keep you busy till you find a girlfriend" She retorted as she returned back to her seat.
"Lair?"
"Hmm" He answered as he continued to type on his laptop.
"Do you think we should ask big brother for help with Michael's issue?" Amy asked. It's been days since her father threatened their mother to bring Michael back, but she was yet to say anything. And if he was really in Jail like she said, their elder brother could probably help his father to get him our, since this was his jurisdiction.
Lair looked at her, "You should let father handle this. There are still more days to go. If mother still remains stubborn then we can consider other options" Lair wasn't really hung up on the idea of talking to their elder brother. That guy has always been his own person, a social recluse even with his own family. They weren't that close to him, maybe it was because he never truly lived with them, as their mother made sure to send him to a boarding school while he was young.
Typical Mrs Walker.
"Okay" Amy agreed.
After some minutes elapsed Amy couldn't keep quiet
"That's your latest publication you're working on right?" Amy asked out of curiosity.
"Yeah"
"So what's it all about?" Amy asked, making Lair raise a brow at her.
"Why the interest? I'm sure you won't understand what's written here. No offense"
"No taken. But I can tell you I pretty well understood some of the ones I have read" She said pridefully, making Lair look up at her in surprise.
"You read my publications?" He asked doubtfully.
"Mmmm" She nodded. "The recent one was about the risk of nocosomial infections in Health institutions right?" She asked with a proud smile. Lair was surprised his sister was paying attention to his medical works.
"I must say I'm surprised"
"Surprised about what? Don't you know I'm your biggest fan?" She asked faking a frown.
"Of course, I know you are" He smiled back.
"So what's this one all about?" She asked.
"Something about the cancerous effect of Monosodium glutamate used as a food sweetners in African countries" He told her.
"Well sounds interesting"
"Yeah it is" He said glancing back at his laptop.
"Since you're really busy with this why don't I help you take a lookal at the houses from the agency" Lair stopped his hand which was typing and raised his gaze to her.
"I promise not to stress myself and I can do it with Ethan. I promisedl" She quickly added when she saw the look Lair was shooting at her.
"I should have known that you were not just showing interest in my work. You're just trying to play me" He hissed at her.
"Comeon that's not true. I was only…" Her speech slurred.
"Yes say it. You were only What?" Lair raised his chin at her.
"Okay fine. I was trying to...you what never mind. Just let me go out. I promise it would only be for few hours, maybe four" She pleaded, pulling her million dollar puppy face at him.
"Don't do that" He said looking away.
"Please" She said pulling on his sleeves.
"Amy"
"Comeon I'm an adult, I can't believe I'm begging you to go out" She pouted at him.
"An adult that can't look after herself" He retorted.
"Yeah whatever" She rolled her eyes. "So can i?" She asked again.
Lair looked at her and sighed in resignation. "Three hours, and you must eat before leaving and Ethan must be with you" Lair stated.
"Thank you bro, your the sweetest, bestest, and most generous brother" She cheered.
"Lies" Lair hissed as he stood up with his laptop. This girl was distracting him.
Amy looked at her phone that beeped when a message entered. It was a message from Ethan.
'Want to go to a party tonight?
She looked at Lairs' retreating back. "Bro can I also go for a party. It's with Ethan" She called from behind him.
Lait stopped on his tracks but he didn't look at her. He heaved a deep breath to calm himself down. This girl was going to kill him.
"No drinking and take your meds before you leave" He said. What should he do. He better agrees now or she was going to bug him to death.
"I love you big bro. You're the best" She squealed, while Lair chuckled.
'Best bro indeed'
"Yes" He replied without looking at her.
"Have you chosen a place yet?" She asked him.
"No, I'm still waiting for the agency I contacted to call me back"
"But are you sure you want to move out with me? I mean your one month leave is already over. And you're supposed to return back to work. You don't have to stress yourself out with this.
