Chapter 338 My Brother Loves You
"Your brother is my good friend. He has helped me a lot too. It's only right for me to do something for him. And, it's not that difficult for me. It's just that no one has done it before. I'm just lucky," Ava modestly said.
"Ava, stop being modest. Anyway, this time, my brother will definitely love you even more," Victoria smiled.
The smile on Ava's face instantly froze, and she stared blankly at Victoria.
After Victoria finished speaking, her expression also froze, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.
She had revealed her brother's secret.
In the corridor, William was about to turn around and walk into the ward when he suddenly stopped in his tracks, completely stunned.
He immediately retracted his foot, turned his body, and leaned against the wall.
The room door was right beside him, but he didn't dare to go in.
His breathing became rapid.
He thought, 'Damn Victoria! Why did she reveal my secret?
'Does she even know what she's saying?
'She can't keep her mouth shut.'
William closed his eyes, his thoughts in chaos. Ava seemed to be the only person who could make him feel so panicked.
Only a dozen seconds had passed, but it felt like several hours had gone by. Time stood still.
Ava could almost hear her own heartbeat thumping. She tightly grasped the bedsheet with her hand that was under the covers, and her palms gradually started sweating.
The stiff smile on her face slowly faded.
"Victoria, what, what are you saying?" Ava hoped that she had misheard or misunderstood.
In these dozen seconds, Victoria's brain was working quickly. She was trying her best to explain her previous words.
Victoria discreetly swallowed her saliva. She immediately spoke up, "I said William will love you more, as I will love you more too. We both love you. From now on, you are the best friend of both of us, the only one!"
Victoria's spirited eyes blinked lightly, like the brightest sunshine in spring.
Ava stared at her blankly for a moment.
She thought, 'So Victoria means we are just friends?'
"Are you okay? Why aren't you speaking? Don't you love me and my brother?" Victoria slightly furrowed her eyebrows, seeming a little unhappy.
Ava said, "Victoria, are you referring to the love between friends?"
"Of course," Victoria said, "Family love, friendship, and romantic love are three different types of love. Don’t we love each other like friends? Don't you love me and my brother?"
Ava breathed a sigh of relief. She thought, 'I see. She just casually mentioned it. She was referring to friendship.'
She got really scared, she thought Victoria meant something else...
Suddenly, Ava remembered the text William sent her earlier, with the words "love you" on the meme. She thought, 'That also represents friendship. I was overthinking.'
Ava found it funny. She thought, 'My imagination is too wild. I'm too presumptuous.'
William had explicitly said he liked a girl named Elinor Fairfax.
Ava decided she would never misinterpret William’s love again.
After reminding herself secretly in her heart, she gradually revealed a relaxed smile. "Of course, I love you both. You are my good friends. I believe in our friendship."
There are many types of love in one's life. People love their own families, which is called familial love. People love their own friends, which is called friendship. People love their own lovers, which is called romantic love.
Victoria felt proud. She had actually fooled Ava. She also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
She thought, 'Otherwise, my brother would be in trouble.'
