Meet My Brothers

Soon, Ivan Levin, the Barretts’ family doctor, rushed over.

Timothy looked at the blisters on the back of Mia’s hand. His gaze darkened as he barked at Mia, “Why are you just standing there? Sit down!”

Mia moved toward the couch, but Sharon shoved her aside. “Stop getting in the way. Quick, Dr. Levin. Take a look at Maya’s hand. We wouldn’t want her wound to leave a scar.”

Sitting on the couch, Maya glanced smugly at Mia.

Mia stood rooted in her spot. It was as if she didn’t care at all. Timothy took a quick look at her but didn’t say anything.

Ivan set down his medical bag and started to inspect Maya’s wrist. All he found was a bit of redness. There wasn’t even a cut on her skin.

With a complicated look on his face, Ivan said, “I don’t think I need to check on her.”

“How can you say that? What if her injury worsens because it didn’t get treated on time? Are you sure you can take responsibility for that kind of mistake?” Sharon reprimanded.

Ivan adjusted his glasses before replying, “Her skin would heal in just half an hour. Ms. Mia is the one who needs immediate medical attention. If her injury is left unchecked, it’ll leave a scar.”

In an instant, the living room fell silent.

Maya was dissatisfied, but she said reluctantly, “Let the doctor check on her first, Mrs. Barrett. It’s fine. I’m not in a hurry.”

“What do you mean you’re not in a hurry?” Sharon exclaimed. “She’s just a poor orphan. How can she compare to you?

“So what if she gets a scar? It’s not like she’s dying. It’s different for you. If you get a scar, your brothers will think we abused you.”

Maya smiled and assured Sharon, “I won’t tell my brothers, Mrs. Barrett.” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Sharon immediately exhaled in relief. Then, she glared at Mia. “You heard that? Ms. Lane is kind enough not to hold this against you. Hurry up and thank her!”

Mia coolly retorted, “I didn’t push her. On the contrary, she’s the one who injured me on purpose! She’s the one who should be apologizing!” 1

“How dare you try to twist things around, Mia? Who else could’ve done it if not you?” Sharon screeched.

“A woman with a background like you would be jealous of Ms. Lane because she comes from a wealthy family. It makes perfect sense for you to try and hurt her on purpose.

“I’ve seen such tricks many times before. I demand that you apologize to Ms. Lane right this instant!”

Upon hearing Sharon’s mocking remarks, Timothy frowned. “Mom, I told you the pot must’ve fallen by accident. We haven’t even seen the security footage yet.”

Why had he never realized just how badly his mother treated Mia?

*Tim, you’re already getting a divorce, so why are you helping this woman? Plus, we’re having a family dinner today. Why did you let her come over? She’s just going to ruin our appetites.”

“Who’s getting a divorce?” Laura’s voice rang out.

The elevator doors were open, and Laura came into the living room in a wheelchair. She looked around the room before continuing. “Speak. Who’s getting a divorce?”

Timothy quickly replied, “No one, Grandma. You misheard what we said.”

“Is that so? I guess my hearing isn’t too good anymore due to my old age. Mia, come here. Let me take a look

at you. Why have you lost weight?” Laura asked.

Mia walked over to Laura and took the latter’s hand. “I haven’t lost any weight, Grandma. In fact, I’ve put on some weight..

“Nonsense. I may be losing my hearing, but my eyes are as sharp as ever. If Timothy treats you badly, you must tell me, okay? I’ll stand up for you,” Laura stated.

Then, she grabbed Mia’s hand and asked in concern, “What happened to your hand? Oh, my goodness! Let the doctor take a look at it right away! I’m sure it must be very painful for you.”

Mia’s heart twinged with a bittersweet feeling. Honestly, Laura was truly nice toward her. Apart from Patricia,

Laura was the one who treated her the best. She felt truly grateful for Laura’s kindness.
