The Remorseful Brothers
Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Inude the hospital, the doctor observed the gathering around Winslet and found herself momentarily lost for words.
Coincidently, she was the attending physician during Madelineâs previous vİSİE Back then, Madeline had suffered a deep wound on her head, which required over 20 stitches to close.
Yes, her family remained clustered together, arguing This time, it was the same family, but the injured individual had changed, and their attitude was entirely different âDoctor, you have to provide the best care for my daughter. She has hardly suffered any injuries since she was a chuld,â said Layla, her frustration: evident. âCanât you prescribe something for the pain? Sheâs been saying it hurts a lot. This hospital canât even prescribe a pain reliever? Whatâs the big deal about giving her some pain reliever?â
The doctor paused briefly and replied. âThe patient only needed four stitches, so thereâs no need for a pain reliever Lucas stated bluntly. âFour stitches! They were on the back of her head! Itâs not you whoâs injured, so naturally, you wouldnât understand the pain. Weâre not short of money for this, so just prescribe it already!â
Winsterâs eyes turned red, and she choked with sobs. âLairas, Ilie okay. I can handle it. I just feel a bit queasy and uncomfortableâ
As she spoke, she even held her chest, looking fragile.
Layla glared at the doctor. âMy daughter says sheâs feeling uncomfortable, but you keep insisting itâs fine. If something actually happens, just wait to have your medical license revoked.â
The doctor remained silent.
âThe doctor has already conducted a full body examination on her, and there donât seem to be any interject. âItâs probably just a psychological thing?
issues,â a nearby nurse couldnât help but âWhat nomense are you spouting?â Layla dismissed it, clearly not wanting to entertain such an idea. âWinnie, donât be afraid. I arrange a trander immediately. This hospital is simply terrible! Weâll go to a better one, and theyâll definitely figure out whatâs wrong with youâ
The nurseâs frustration grew as she thought. âItâs just a minor injury, and theyâre insisting on being admitted. Such a waste of a hospital bed: They wouldnât be satisfied even with a topâtier hospital. They might as well seek treatment in Japrium or better yet, go abroad?â
Winslet sniffed and wiped away her tears. âMom, donât bother. Iâm really okay. Maybe I was just seared last night. At that moment, seeing all the blood, it was really terrifying.
As Winslet spoke, two more teardrops rolled down her cheeks. âAt that moment, I thought I was going to die for real.â
Laylaâs heartstrings were tugged.
Winslet looked at her concerned brothers and Layla who had gathered around her, and a sense of satisfaction welled up inside her, making her feel that the injury was somewhat worth it.
Word had it that Madeline had received a stern scolding from their mother.
Winslet put on a pretense of concern and said, âMom, it was my own fault last night. Please donât blame Maddie for it.
Layla had initially planned to discuss the matter regarding Madeline, but due to her uncertainty about the situation between Madeline and the CEO of Vanguard Corporation, she decided not to delve into it for the time being.
âWinnie, I reprimanded her last night. I wonât let you be treated unfairly,â Layla reassured Winslet.
Winslet furrowed her brows. âMom, you really... Maddieâs relationship with the family is already strained. If you scold her too harshly, Iâm afraid. she might not come home again. I can handle it, but sheâs still a daughter of the Larson family. If she faces difticules outside, you and Daddy would be the ones worrying Layla definitely wouldnât feel sorry for Madeline.
She huffed. âAll right, you donât need to worry about it. Iâve messaged her, telling her to quickly agree to your offerâ
Winder sighed. âOkay, thenâ She suddenly remembered something and said, âGuys, letâs not blame Maddie for this incident. It wasnât her intention âYouâre still thinking about her at a time like this, while sheâs acting so maliciously!â Luras exclaimed, tacking the blanket around Winslet. âSilly gal, focusing on your own recovery should be your priority. Donât concerns yourself with her. Worrying about her doesnât guarantee her gratitude toward you. You nearly got seriously hurt due to her this time. Donât go searching for her on your own next time, itâs far too risky?â
Chapter 29 Winsley lay down obediently, her gaze shifting between her five brothers who had gathered around her bedside. In their presence, she felt much more al case, Benjamin had also arrived at that moment.
Winslet struggled to sit up. âBenjamin..â
Seeing Winslet in such a delicate state, as if a single touch might break her, Benjamin felt a pang of sympathy. âWinnie, please donât exert yourself How did things spiral out of control like this? Madeline is truly ruthless. If it werenât for the fact that you guys are family, she should be facing legal consequences by now.â
Any sympathy that Benjamin might have initially held due to misunderstanding Madeline had completely vanished by now.
Sure enough, he had always suspected that Madeline would eventually cause serious harm to Winslet.
âHow could I bear to let her go to jailâ Winsletâs face turned sad. âDonât say things like that. If you say that again.. just donât come to see me anymore.â
Benjaminâs heart softened. âWinnie, youâre truly naive to the point that youâre. His words trailed off as he released a sigh.
Benjamin made up de up his mind to break off his engagement with Madeline and then pursue Winslet once again.
He could never let go of a girl with such a kind heart.
âWinnie, Iâll start the process of ending my engagement with Madeline as soon as possible. I promise to take care of you from now on and make sure you wonât be hurt again,â Benjamin pledged with sincerity.
The nurse on the side frowned, her brow furrowing even lighter.
After stepping away with the doctor, she whispered. âSir, does she have a terminal illness or something? She only had four stitches, yet she appears as if sheâs on the brink of death. Even patients who come out of the operating room arenât this feeble.â
The doctor shook her head. âIâm not quite sure either, but letâs not speculate about the patients without good reasonâ
The nurse nodded. âI understand, but theyâre certainly unique, and those guys are quite interesting as well. If one werenât aware, one would assume that the woman was suffering from a terminal illness and on her deathbed.â
She continued with a touch of sarcasm. That woman certainly knows how to put on a show. We were going to be thoroughly scolded by her mother, and our reputation was going to take a hirt The doctor was feeling a headache, too Odd individuals were a regular occurrence each year, but it appeared that this family had an unusually high number of them Madeline received Benjaminâs message in the afternoon.
At that moment, she was sunbathing on the top floor of Republic Garden.
She received a message from Benjamin on her phone, asking her to return everything she had gotten from him during their engagement.
The Moore residence would publicly announce the matter, and she must attend the event when the time came.
The event was scheduled for three days later.
Madeline glanced at her phone. âPublicly breaking off the engagement? Thereâs no way Iâll attend that. How ridiculous.â
Madeline wasnât a fool, there was no need for her to go and make a fool of herself.
Isabelle came over. âMadeline, Iâm going out to buy some fruits for you. Do you want to come along for a walk! Mr. Wagner asked me to take you around and get familiar with the surroundings. Youâll probably be here for a while, so itâs better to get acquaintedâ:
Madeline turned her head. âOnce I find a place to stay.
âHold ic Convey that message to Mr. Wagner. My task is solely to look after you tabelle gestured with a wave of her hand.
âAnd donât even think about escaping, or 111 be in a tough spot. You wouldnât want to see me in a difficult situation, would you?
Be a good girl and cooperate, okay!â she added with a smile.
Madeline smirked. âAll right, but Iâm not familiar with Mr. Wagnerâ
babelle chuckled. From her perspective, she knew Steven wouldnât fall short when it came to pursuing someone, whether they were familiar or not.
As they descended the stairs, they coincidentally crossed paths with a woman our walking her dog 3:25 PM c c Chapter 29 âDr. Hughes, itâs you! Has Mr. Wagner returned home?â The woman playfully tousled her curly hair. âWill he be back tonight?â
Isabelle flashed an awkward smile.
This woman was a celebrity residing in Block] of Republic Garden.
The residents of the first block were either affluent or prominent figures. Therefore, the beautiful celebrity frequented this area, firmly resolving to pursue Steven.
Every time Isabelle got entangled with her, Isabelle found it quite annoying.
âOf course, heâll return.â Isabelleâs eyes sparkled with mischief as she gestured toward Madeline. âOf course, Mr. Wagner wouldnât want to miss the chance to have a meal with Ms. Larson.â
The beautyâs smile froze for a moment, and she openly examined Madeline. âOh dear, I mistook you for a cleaning staff. Why are you dressed so shabbily? Doesnât Mr. Wagner provide you with anything better?â
