    “It’s n so nice to finally meet you Ethan! I’m Gloria! Can I just say, well, Casey and I…we want to say thank you for sticking up for our re–bear that day.”


    <i>‘</i><i>re</i><i>–</i><i>bear</i><i>‘</i>. I’m not sure why, but that nicknamed made me smile uncontrobly, it fit her. Everyone stared me in amazement, very seldom did I smile, much less brightly. My mother gave me apassionate look that I didn’t quite understand. Turning back to Gloria, I nodded slightly.


    <i>“</i><i>It </i><i>was </i><i>my </i><i>pleasure</i><i>, </i><i>though </i><i>I </i><i>was </i><i>just </i><i>speaking </i><i>the </i><i>truth</i><i>.</i>”


    Gloria lightly smiled at me in a way I didn’t understand, Owen slightly rolled his eyes. I would deal with himter. Suddenly, I could feel my heart pace. ra finally stood up and made her way over to me. She had this mild yet regal smile on her face, her cheeks were slightly red. ‘Was she blushing?‘ I could feel my ears began to redden at the


    thought.


    <i>“</i><i>Ethan</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>


    <i>“</i><i>ra</i><i>. </i><i>Thank </i><i>you </i><i>for </i><iing</i>.”


    “<i>Thank </i><i>you </i><i>for having </i><i>me</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>


    We stared at each other for what felt like an eternity, I could feel my lips betraying me once again as they curled up into a smile. Suddenly, my dad cleared his throat braking


    my trance.


    “<i>Well</i><i>, </i><i>why </i><i>don’t </i><i>we </i><i>have </i><i>lunch </i><i>in </i><i>the </i><i>courtyard</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>


    Everyone stood to leave, ra gave me one more look, her face had an expression I couldn’t understand, as I turned to follow everyone, my sibling along with Owen gathered around me. Elizabeth speaking first.


    “So<i>, </i><i>help </i><i>me </i><i>God </i><i>Ethan </i>if you <i>don’t </i>make that girl <i>my </i><i>sister</i>–in–<iw </i>I’ll <i>never </i><i>speak </i><i>to </i><i>you </i><i>again</i><i>!</i><i>” </i>

    Owen and Corey began tough hysterically while Maria just smiled with glee.


    <i>“</i>I’m <i>with </i><i>Liz </i>on <i>this </i><i>one </i><i>Ethan</i>. <i>I </i><i>think </i><i>I </i><i>love </i><i>ra</i><i>!</i><i>” </i>


    My eyes almost popped out of my eyes! Traitor! Over the years, Maria had always sided with me, I took pride knowing I was her favorite but today, today she betrayed me joining the n of heathens also known as my siblings and friend.


    <i>“</i><i>Let’s </i><i>go</i><i>!</i><i>” </i>


    I barked as I walked past everyone stalking to the courtyard.

    As we all ate lunch, ra went over the entire n for saving Maria. My family listened on, never interrupting as they wanted the full details. I could see her friends beaming at her with pride, she truly was remarkable.


    “So, <i>that’s </i><i>why </i><i>I </i><i>would </i><i>like </i>for <i>Ethan </i><i>to </i><i>take </i><i>legal control </i><i>over </i><i>my </i><i>research</i>. <i>That </i><i>way </i><i>we </i><i>can </i><i>began </i><i>the </i><i>trials </i><i>ASAP </i><i>without </i><i>conflict</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>


    My parents stared at ra; I could see my mother’s eyes welding up. My dad also looked as if we wanted to cry. <fn7b77> Checktest chapters at find·novel</fn7b77>


    “ra, <i>we </i><i>honestly </i><i>don’t </i><i>know </i><i>what </i><i>to </i><i>say</i>. <i>The </i><i>fact </i><i>that </i><i>you’re </i><i>allowing </i><i>my </i><i>son </i><i>take </i><i>ownership </i><i>of </i><i>your </i><i>work </i><i>just </i><i>so </i><i>you </i><i>can </i><i>save </i><i>our </i><i>dau-</i>”


    My father’s words choked in his throat like a lump. My mother ced her hand over his as the tears fell down her face. Maria and Liz also had tears in their eyes. Suddenly, my older brother Corey spoke.


    “Ms. ra, <i>please </i><i>don’t </i><i>take </i><i>this </i>as <i>disrespect</i><i>, </i><i>but </i>I have to <i>ask</i>, can you really save Maria<i>? </i><i>I </i><i>know </i><i>you’re </i><i>brilliant</i>, <i>my </i><i>brother </i>has <i>shown </i>me so much <i>of </i><i>your </i>work, and I know of your <i>mother </i>as <i>well</i>. But <i>I </i><i>don’t </i><i>want </i><i>my </i>sister <i>or </i><i>family </i>to get <i>their </i>hopes up <i>if </i><i>this </i><i>is </i>all too good to <i>be </i><i>true</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>


    I could feel my ears heating up, dammit Corey! I was about to yell at my brother when I felt her hand gently touch mine. A smile ofpassion on her face, she looked directly at my brother.

    <i>“</i><i>Corey</i><i>, there’s </i><i>no </i><i>need </i><i>to </i><i>apologize</i><i>, </i><i>you </i><i>have </i><i>every right </i><i>to </i><i>have </i><i>skepticism</i><i>. </i><i>This </i>is <i>your </i><i>baby </i><i>sister </i><i>after </i><i>all</i><i>. </i><i>But </i><i>I </i><i>hope </i><i>you </i><i>can </i><i>believe </i><i>me </i><i>when </i><i>I </i><i>say</i><i>…</i><i>I </i><i>can </i><i>save </i><i>your </i><i>sister</i><i>, </i><i>I’m </i><i>sure </i><i>of </i><i>it</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
