Love Is Fair by Kerri novel Chapter 309

Chapter 309 Fastidious Brothers-in-Law

Sleepless all night, Owen was sitting on a bench outside the ward. Dark circles were under his eyes. Matthew

had just finished a phone call with his old man and answered a ton of questions. He then came over. “Why are you sitting outside? I saw lunchboxes. Aren’t you going to eat with Hailey?”

Owen replied in a husky voice, “I’m not hungry.”

Matthew glanced inside the ward, figured out the situation, and snorted, “You were kicked out, weren’t you?”

“No,” Owen replied straight-faced, “my presence there will affect the atmosphere.”

“Makes sense. I guess her brothers will lose their appetite when you’re around,” Matthew scoffed and sat

down on the other end of the bench. Owen suddenly got up, and he almost tipped over

“Damn!” Matthew hastily steadied himself and glared at Owen, “That’s vindictive of you.”

With no expressions on his face, Owen sat back down. Matthew saw his sullen face and tried to smooth things

over.

“I was just kidding. You were sinful in the past, but the rescue is your credit. Their impression of you has

changed, right?”

“I’m not sure.” Owen pursed his lips. Exhausted, he closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the bench.

He was still terrified when he thought of Hailey lying prone on the steering wheel, her head covered with blood.

Her torso was stiff and cold, and her hands were shaking. He had been through a car accident once. He was

almost killed. It changed not only his character but also his lite

He didn’t want Hailey to go through the pain he had experienced. She was lying weakly in his arms when he

rushed her to the hospital. Like a dandelion, she might drift away in the wind at any second. He kept calling

out her name. He had never been so scared. He was afraid of losing her. He was distressed when she

unconsciously called out to her mom and dad. Not until that moment, he realized her soft heart underneath

her tough look. She had been hiding her vulnerable side.

Matthew bent down, peeked into the ward, and cowered at the sight of Hailey’s brothers who were

surrounding her. He curled his lips. “I’m not exaggerating things, but if you get back together with Hailey,

you’ll have to face so many fastidious brothers-in-law.”

Owen opened his eyes and glanced at the man. “You quit?

Matthew widened his eyes. “I don’t stand a chance.” In frustration, he sat back down, crossed his legs, and

said playfully, “I’ll be the fifth wheel up for the game when you’re worn out.”

Owen ignored him but admired Hailey’s brothers when he saw her reliance on them. If he had cherished her back then, she would have relied on him like this as well and would not have shut him out.
