Chapter 196: Asking for Help

"Brother, is something wrong?" Ava asked, noticing Ethan's worried expression.

Ethan looked Ava over with concern. "Ava, are you really okay?"

Puzzled, Ava replied, "I'm fine. Why do you ask?"

Ethan frowned, remembering Ava's unusual behavior last night. He decided to probe further. "Can you tell me what happened last night?"

Ava raised an eyebrow. Did Ethan know about her meeting with Patrick? That didn't seem likely since she hadn't told anyone about it. "Nothing much, just had dinner with a friend and then visited my therapist," she said, choosing to keep Patrick out of the conversation.

"Is that all?" Ethan still seemed skeptical, which made Ava even more curious about his concern.

"Brother, if you have something to say, just say it. No need to beat around the bush."
