The water streaked down the window, resembling tears at first nce…


    The world outside was engulfed in a downpour.


    Madisyn was unaware of these developments.


    That evening, she and ine watched TV together.


    After ine retired to bed, Madisyn remained on the sofa, chatting with Jared.


    Jared was thrilled about her decision to move to Ansport.


    Just then, a noise came from outside the door.


    A N G E L A ‘s L I B R A R Y


    Madisyn looked up to see Daneing in.


    She was about to greet him when she noticed something was off.


    Dane was holding his suit jacket and walked in slowly.


    His usually calm face was flushed.


    He had clearly had too much to drink.


    It was the first time Madisyn had seen her brother drink this heavily.


    She quickly got up and walked towards him.


    But before she got close, the strong scent of alcohol hit her, and she covered her nose, asking, “Dane, why did you drink so much?”


    Dane looked at Madisyn, cracked a smile, and said, “Madisyn.


    ”


    “Yes, it’s me,” Madisyn replied, her brow furrowed.


    “What’s going on, Dane?”


    Dane rarely drank to such an extent.


    Something must be wrong.novelbin


    “I’m okay.


    I…” Dane’s strength seemed to falter, and he leaned on Madisyn’s shoulder.


    Madisyn worried that something serious had happened to her brother.


    Then she felt tears on her shoulder.


    She was shocked.


    Dane was crying?!


    It was hard for Madisyn to picture her capable, aplished brother crying.


    “Susan…” Dane whispered.


    “Dane, I’m Madisyn,” she said, confused.


    “Susan…” Dane continued to murmur.


    Clearly, Dane was far too intoxicated, so Madisyn helped him to his room.
