Chapter 3073
Could John have been telling the truth all along?
At the thought of this, Tara snuck another glance at Robyn.
Robyn was a little uneasy at being scrutinized like this. She sheepishly laughed and said, “Nice to meet you, Miss
Moore. I’m John’s sister, Robyn.”
With that, she extended her hand to Tara.
Tara frowned as she shook Robyn’s hand. “I hear you’re sick? N
Robyn’s hand stiffened. She forgot all about John’s instructions!
She smiled, trying to remain as calm as she could. “Yes. I contracted some weird disease that’s making all the organs in my body fail gradually, and I need surgery to live.”
With that, she turned to shoot John a rather accusing look.” Did you tell everyone? Didn’t I say not to reveal too much about my illness?”
John chuckled. “Well, Miss Moore is bound to find out anyway as we’ll be working together very soon.”
Tara was a little bothered by this. Joshua had sent her over to John and pry more about his personal life, so how was she supposed to do this?
Was she going to tell Joshua that John was working very hard for his and his sister’s future? Or was she going to tell him that John and Robyn’s interactions were too intimate to be considered siblings?
At the thought of this, Tara paused, then glanced first at John, then at Robyn. “You two don’t look alike.”
“Of course we don’t.” Robyn smiled. “We’re not related by blood. I was adopted by John’s parents as a child and returned to my birth parents as a teenager. John and I had lost touch for many years and only recently reconnected when he came to Sharnwick City.”
Robyn was just telling the truth, but for some reason, Tara took it the wrong way.
She could not believe that after his wife died, John would go to Sharnwick City to live with his adoptive sister. Not only that, but he was even so desperate to help Robyn that he was willing to put himself out there and even suffered an injury as a result.
Tara could not help feeling that this was not normal.
Of course, not every brother who lived with his sister was not normal, but…
John had recently lost his wife, and Robyn was single. Not to mention that they were not biologically related…
This was far more complicated than one would expect.
At the thought of this, Tara frowned and glanced again at the man before her. She could not help feeling a little distaste toward John.
His wife had just died not long ago, yet he was living with another woman at the moment. He appeared to be enjoying each other’s company very much, too.
Was there not a single ounce of guilt in him?
John sensed Tara’s judgmental look and let out an awkward cough. He turned to stare at Tara. “Why are you here to visit me, Miss Moore?”
Tara scoffed, then placed the fruit basket she had brought on the table. “You saved an old man last night, didn’t you?” Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
John paused momentarily, then nodded.
“Well, he’s a relative of mine,” Tara explained. “I’m here to visit you on behalf of him.”
