Chapter 93

ล (55)

“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 Clare–bear that day.”

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

“It was my pleasure, though I was just speaking the truth.”

Gloria lightly smiled at me in a way I didn’t understand, Owen slightly rolled his eyes. I would deal with him later. Suddenly, I could feel my heart pace. Clara 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.

“Ethan.”

“Clara. Thank you for coming.”

“Thank you for having me.”

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.

“Well, why don’t we have lunch in the courtyard.”

Everyone stood to leave, Clara 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, help me God Ethan if you don’t make that girl my sister–in–law I’ll never speak to you again!”

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

“I’m with Liz on this one Ethan. I think I love Clara!”

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 clan of heathens also known as my siblings and friend.

“Let’s go!”

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

As we all ate lunch, Clara went over the entire plan 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, that’s why I would like for Ethan to take legal control over my research. That way we can began the trials ASAP without conflict.”

My parents stared at Clara; I could see my mother’s eyes welding up. My dad also looked as if we wanted to cry.

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

My father’s words choked in his throat like a lump. My mother placed 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. Clara, please don’t take this as disrespect, but I have to ask, can you really save Maria? I know you’re brilliant, my brother has shown me so much of your work, and I know of your mother as well. But I don’t want my sister or family to get their hopes up if this is all too good to be true.”

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 of compassion on her face, she looked directly at my brother.

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