My Brother Became a Vegetable To Save Me Novel by NANCY ROWSE

“Aimee, is something wrong?”

Hearing Elio’s voice, I looked up into his eyes, and they were the same as always–no concern, no comfort, and certainly no love.

I gathered my composure and said to him, “Elio, I’m in the end stage of heart failure. I need a heart transplant to survive!”

Elio paused, then, frowning, replied, “Okay.”

Seeing him return to his usual impassive demeanor, the bitterness in my heart was unspoken. I wasn’t sure if Elio understood me, and even if he did, he was so busy he might forget.

Feeling disheartened, I decided to find a suitable heart on my own.

Elio had a stomach condition, so I fired the cook and decided to prepare meals at home. to help him manage his diet.

I prepared dinner and messaged Elio to see if he wanted to come home for a meal. After waiting for a long time without a response, I decided to save him a portion.

At that moment, a wave of dizziness swept over me. The plate slipped from my hand, crashing to the floor as I collapsed in the kitchen.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Fortunately, the butler discovered me in time.

When I woke up, my face was pale and bloodless. The doctor, seeing me awake, said, “You’re fine now. Rest well, and you’ll be able to leave the hospital soon.”

I quickly thanked the doctor, as I was starving from not eating for so long.

I dragged my weak body towards the hospital exit. As I approached a room, I thought I heard Elio’s voice and unconsciously stopped, leaning against the wall.

“Eli, I’m okay! Just a scratch, nothing serious. I can be discharged,” a woman’s playful voice came from the room.

Hesitant, I wasn’t sure if it was Elio inside the room.

“Sammy, let me see. Does it still hurt?” Elio’s concerned tone shattered my composure. I propped myself up and quietly peeked through the door, and what I saw made me lose my breath.

It was unmistakably Elio. I knew his silhouette too well; just one glance, and I could recognize it instantly. The concern, sorrow, tenderness, and affection in Elio’s eyes were things I had never witnessed before.

It seemed that someone could freely act spoiled around Elio, making him care, worry, and show concern.

I had spent so long with him that I thought he might have fallen for me, but today’s scene shattered that illusion completely.
