Chapter 363 Acknowledging Her as His Sister
After a brief moment of confusion, Jean quickly typed out a reply-
Jean: “It’s not that great. Just decent, I guess.”
A modest response.
Winston: “Come on, it was pretty good. No need to be humble.”
Her lips curled into a faint smile.
Winston actually knew how to give compliments?
That was… weirdly heartwarming.
Jean: Thanks for the compliment.
After she sent that, Winston didn’t reply right away.
Nearly half a minute passed before he messaged back.
Winston: “But I’m still kind of annoyed you lied to me back then.”
She pouted a little and forced herself to reply-
Jean: “I mean, I really don’t know what I can do to make you feel better about it… I did apologize properly…”
Winston: “…”
Jean:“?”
She followed up with a question mark. The silence on the other end was obvious.
But then Winston replied-
Winston: “Forget it. Let’s just put it behind us.”
Jean could hardly believe it.
Jean: “Just like that? You’re letting it go?”

Winston: “What, you want me to give you a proper scolding?”
Jean: “No, I didn’t mean that. I’m just surprised, that’s all.”
Jean: “Anyway, I’m glad you’re not mad anymore.”
Winston: “You’re already locked in for the official match this time. There’s no changing that no make sure you give it your all. I’m not going to go easy on you just because you’re my sister.”

Winston: “But after this tournament’s over, you should really cut back on gaming.”
Jean’s brows furrowed hard.

Chapter 363 Acknowledging Her as His Sister
Already starting the lectures?
Telling her to cut back on games…
She quickly jabbed at her screen and sent a message.
Jean: “You’ve got some nerve saying that when you play games too.”
Winston:” ?”
Jean: “It’s true! You play way more than I do. So it’s okay for you but not for me?”
She didn’t even realize how casual and cheeky her tone had become while texting him.
Winston: “Honestly… I just don’t want you to end up like me…”
Jean’s eyes softened slightly.
What the hell.
Getting all emotional now?

Jean: “You’re fine the way you are. I mean it. No matter who you are now, I know you still have a soft heart underneath it all.”
She meant every word.
The Ginger brothers might each have their issues, but none of them were truly bad people at heart.
Jean hadn’t known them long, but she had a pretty good read on them by now.
If they were truly beyond saving, she wouldn’t have bothered getting close–she wouldn’t have wasted a single second on them.
After she hit send, there was no response from the other side.
So long that Jean thought Winston had already logged off…
But a few minutes later, he finally replied-
Winston: “Forget it, you…”
What was that supposed to mean?
She couldn’t make heads or tails of it!/
“Ding.” Another message popped up.
Winston: “If you really want to play, then play with me from now on.”
Jean couldn’t help but smile as she read it.
Winston…
He rarely ever referred to himself as her brother.

Chapter 363 Acknowledging Her as His Sister
Was this his way of acknowledging her as his little sister?
Well, well…
Look at that.
Just as that thought crossed her mind, a sharp pain pulsed through her head.
Like nerves being pulled apart–throbbing, rhythmic jolts that made her frown deeply.

It was only then, as the adrenaline from the nerves and excitement began to fade, that Jean realized just how sick she really was.
Her body temperature was climbing rapidly.
Ugh–she was dying!
