Chapter 297 How Could My Brother Be Anything But

Corinna quickly briefed Kevin on the situation, imploring him to hasten the arrival of help

Momenta after sending the message, her phone died.

Andres opened his eyes, stared at her for a few seconds, and drew her close, silently urging her to keep quiet

He was aware that his pursuers were not far off

Corinna had been fortunate not to encounter anyone since entering the village.

For him, however, escaping from these people meant they were unlikely to back down easily

At this point, their only option was to patiently await rescue

Nestled against Andres, Corinna calmed down, comforted by the warmth of his body, despite the chilling sensation of his blood seeping out..

"Andres, your injury. She finally let her tears flow, which cascaded down like pearls

He quickly placed his hand over her mouth, muffling her words.

Keegan, who had been observing them, didn't know much about this man, but he could tell from his interactions with Corinna that he was a good person

And good people don't keep bad company. He thought.

With this thought. Keegan murmured to himself, "He's my brother, so how could he be anything but?

His voice was a mere whisper, unnoticed by the others.

Seeing Corinna's unending tears stirred a mix of emotions in Keegan

He took out another lollipop and handed it to her.

Corinna instinctively turned to him and drew him closer.

She resolved to explain the boy's story to Andres once they were out of danger,

Despite his grave injuries, Andres squinted at Keegan.

The dim light in the room made it difficult for him to see Keegan's face clearly.

He was puzzled by Connne bringing a child to such a place

He meatit to inquire, but a surge of pain overtook him, and sweat began to bead on his forehead.

‘Corrina…”

He called out faintly, his hold on her hand weakening

Corinna immediately reacted.

"Andres? Andres, please, wake up!"

But waking was not so simple.

Given his severe wounds and the lack of immediate medical care, it was miraculous he had held on for as long as he had

As Corinna's armnety mounted, a sudden flurry of footsteps echoed from outside the house

Corinna's eyebrows knit together in worry.

Damn, they must have seen the bloodstains!"

Almost immediately, a man's voice rang out, "Search inside! He's injured and can't have gone far. He must be in there

"Look, there's blood here!

Remember, we need him alive. Even if we have to turn the village upside down, we must capture Andrest

Yes, sir

Corinna couldn't help but inhale sharply

From the noise, it was clear there were quite a few of them, all men.

Now, alone and outnumbered, Corinna knew confronting them was nearly impossible

For the first time, the usually unflappable Corinna felt a wave of panic wash over her

This was a new and terrifying situation for her.

As footsteps neared, she made a resolute decision.

She clutched Keegan's hand, giving him solemn instructions. Keegan, there are dangerous people outside I'm going to lure then away. Stay here with your brother'

"Don't make any noise and seize any chance to call for help!"

She was ready to sacrifice her life for the safety of the two brothers

As Corinna prepared to distract the intruders, a small hand clutched hers

Take care of him

Before stie could respond, the small figure derted out the door.
