The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 158

How did such a fatal mishap befall Leo? Zach's heart ached, and he couldn't bear to imagine what his younger brother must've looked like at that moment.

"After the injury, he had given up hope," Zach recalled, "but when he heard that the international medical prodigy, LIN, had a good chance to cure him..."

Collins hadn't finished his sentence when Zach interrupted upon hearing the name LIN, "Wait, did you say LIN?"

Collins nodded, his voice tinged with complexity. "We only recently found out that LIN is actually Nick."

Zach's lips curved into a half-smile as he explained, "Leo has always been busy, and with Nick settling abroad, they didn't keep in touch much, so it's normal he didn't know. Frankly, I only learned he goes by LIN after he won an international award."

At that, Collins couldn't help but think back to when he first met Leo, "In those early days when Leo joined the scene, he never mentioned his family. I almost mistook him for an orphan with no parents."

Zach chuckled, "That's why he's considered the most aloof in our family."

Leo had fought his way up all on his own.

"But to his fans, he's a warm-hearted big guy," Collins sighed. "It's just fate playing cruel games..."

Hearing Zach's resolve, Collins felt a weight lift off his chest. Now, Zach might be all they could hope for.

After about half an hour, the car entered an estate with a sophisticated security system. Several checks were required before one could truly enter the estate. This estate was none other than Nick's private residence. It was Zach's first visit, and he was fascinated by the advanced equipment and the smart home robots. It was like stepping into a high-tech wonderland.

"Zach, sorry I was tied up and couldn't pick you up from the airport myself." Nick had just returned from the lab and just saw the message from Collins, learning that Zach had arrived in the States. There was a tinge of regret in his eyes as he looked at Zach. His handsome face was unusually pale, the kind of pallor from a lack of sunlight.

It had been years since Zach had seen his brother. He walked over and put his arm around him, his voice tinged with emotion, "It's been a long time, Nick."
