"Tavern! Oliver is my brother. I lied!" she shouted covering her mouth from her hands from both sides so that she may sound louder.
"Pak!" Tavern, who was going to hold the punch of Oli, froze. The punch landed straight on his face breaking his nose.
But he did not feel the pain at all. He did not feel the blood coming out of his nose either as he stared at the young lad in front of him with the voice ringing in his ears.
"You are Ophelia's brother?" he repeated with shock written all over his face and he turned to look at the girl, "or are you lying to save him?" he asked with a look of bewilderment when Alex scoffed.
When Tavern's eyes stared at Alex, "what made you think that Ophelia needed to lie to save Oliver from you when you are the one bleeding and had a cut on your arm while he is standing just perfect there?"
