On the way, Lena gazed out the window, lost in thought.
Chris and Elijah exchanged silent glances in the car, refraining from uttering another word. They had already
spoken their piece earlier, and Lena struggled to come to terms with the fact that she was an illegitimate Chriss
daughter.
"Your mother and my father once had a romantic relationship," Chris said cautiously. "They shared a symbol of their
love—a pocket watch that Sasha brought back."
"Lenny, you do know that you and Sasha are twins, right?" Elijah chimed in.
Lena took a deep breath, her head throbbing. She had never expected that her mother had concealed so much
from her.

In the front seat, Elijah shot him a disapproving glance. "Let go!"
"Hmm?"
Elijah pursed his lips, fixating on Chris' firm grip on Lena's hand. It was strange. He had always found Chris alright,
but now that he would become his brother-in-law...
"Lenny needs a moment of peace!" Elijah furrowed his brows. "Why do you keep holding her hand?"
Chris was taken aback, eyeing him in disbelief. "Why should you care?"
"I'm her brother. What other reason is there?!"
"Get out of here!"
"You..."
"Can you two stop arguing?" Lena interjected, turning to look at them. Her confusion only deepened, and neither
man was helping.
Chris and Elijah exchanged glances, raising their eyebrows at each other in a silent challenge.
"Is Nala still in the hospital?" Lena suddenly asked.
"Yeah, she's still there..."
"Let's go there right now!"
"What?" Elijah struggled to catch up.
Lena was emotional. "I'm your sister, and that makes me Nala's aunt! If Nala hasn't found a suitable bone marrow
match yet, I can try!"
Elijah was shocked, his eyes welling up.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhile Sasha demanded half of the Chrisses' wealth upon learning she was Nala's aunt, Lena's first instinct was to
offer her bone marrow to save Nala. They were twins, but they had different outlooks.
Elijah felt grateful to have a sister like Lena, not just Sasha.
"Okay..." His voice quivered slightly. "Let's head to the hospital right away!"
Although Chris also wanted to know if Lena could save Nala, he pretended to be displeased and chided Elijah,
"You're quite something! You're rushing Lenny to the hospital without letting her rest!"
"What's the matter with that? Lenny is a Chriss, too! Our family matters are none of your concern."
"Elijah!"
"Can you two please stop it?" Lena found it amusing.
Laughter and conversation filled the car during the journey, and Lena felt warmth in her heart.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Lena promptly underwent a bone marrow match test. As they waited for the results
over the course of a day, Chris remained by her side.
Good news arrived swiftly—Lena was a match for Nala!
