Part 2The Ex-Boyfriend Dilemma: My Fake Brother

The lobster dropped from her chopsticks onto the table.

Mrs. Sterling stared blankly at Liam, the tremor in her voice incredibly obvious.

"Liam, how do you know your sister is allergic to seafood?"

My gaze collided violently with Liam's, then quickly darted away.

My scalp tingled.

Fortunately, my brain worked fast, and I quickly came up with an explanation.

"Mom, Liam and I both went to Ivy University, and we were in the same club before."

"During a club dinner, I mentioned my seafood allergy. Liam has a good memory, he must have remembered it from then."

Actually, no.

It was because of Liam that I found out I was allergic to seafood.

Before I met him, I had never eaten seafood.

The moment I swallowed the first bite of shrimp, my heart started racing wildly, my chest tightened, and my cheeks flushed hot.

I thought it was the thrill and excitement of being confessed to by love at first sight.

It felt like my heart was skipping a beat.

But the moment Liam finished his confession...

Before I could even say "I like you too," I was suffocated by my increasingly rapid heartbeat, my vision went black, and I passed out.

When I woke up in the hospital, I had been on an IV drip for three days.

"Is what your sister said true, Liam?"

Mrs. Sterling was half-skeptical, her hand unconsciously tightening around her chopsticks.

Liam's expression didn't show a single ripple.

"Yeah. What she said is true."
