Uninterested in the card game, Madisyn decided to retreat upstairs to be with Howard.


    She found Howard in his old bedroom, painting.


    The image he created was vibrant and seemed to dance in the streaming sunlight.


    Madisyn stood transfixed by the vibrant colors and lifelike forms on Howard’s canvas.


    “Madisyn?”


    Howard’s voice broke the silence.


    He turned, his expression shifting to surprise upon seeing her.


    “What brings you here?”


    “Howard, is this your work?” Madisyn asked, stepping closer to get a better look at the intricate artwork.


    “Yeah,” Howard responded, his voice gentle.


    “When I find some spare time, I like to draw.


    It helps me unwind.


    ”


    His talent was undeniable, each stroke on the canvas speaking of a deep, innate skill.


    Madisyn’s admiration for Howard deepened as she observed the passion and precision evident in his work.


    “You’re really good at this,” Madisyn said.


    “I think you could excel at anything you put your mind to.


    ”


    Howard offered a gentle smile, a hint of modesty in his response.


    “You’re saying that because you’re family.


    ”


    Madisyn realized she knew little about Howard’s professional background, prompting her curiosity.


    “What did you do before the ident?”


    “I was in research and development,” Howard replied, his tone reflecting a mix of pride and nostalgia.


    “I spent some time at the National Science and Technology Bureau.


    ”


    Madisyn was taken aback by his revtion.


    Her brothers were indeed exceptional; working at the National Science and Technology Bureau was a distinction reserved for the top minds in the country.


    If not for his injuries, he might have reached even greater heights by now.


    Howard, touching his face, shifted the topic to a more personal concern.


    “By the way, my skin feels quite warm after I took the medicine you gave me.


    ”novelbin


    “That’spletely normal,” Madisyn reassured him with a smile.


    “It won’t be long before your skin starts to heal.


    ”


    Howard looked surprised.


    “Really?”


    “Yes,” Madisyn affirmed confidently.


    The pills she gave Howard had only been created by her team recently.


    If Howard weren’t her brother, Madisyn wouldn’t have given them to him.
