Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen

Chapter 17

Moments later, Maya entered the kitchen. She walked up to Mia and said, “Mia, do you think making some soup for Mrs. Barrett Senior is enough for you to convince her to stand up for you?

“I’ll let you in on something. I’ve hired a renowned and highly acclaimed cardiovascular surgeon to perform surgery for Mrs. Barrett Senior. As long as the surgery succeeds, I’m sure she won’t object to Tim and me getting married.”

Even though Dominic and Connor hadn’t agreed to Maya’s request, she was sure she could convince Connor

to operate on Laura.

She believed that once she saved that old hag’s life, the latter would’ve no reason to stop her from marrying Timothy anymore.

Mia knew that Laura had been living with a heart condition for some time now, but they had failed to find a suitable person to perform the surgery.

Mia stood up from the stool and said, “Allow me to offer my congratulations in advance. I hope you two will have a big family with lots of kids, even if they all end up being half-siblings. Now, please get out of my way.”

Maya’s eyes darkened. How dare Mia talk back to her?

Maya reached out to shove the pot off the stove, and it began tipping over in Mia’s direction.

A man rushed into the kitchen. Mia turned around and saw Timothy, but he ran over to Maya to protect her.

At the very next second, the boiling soup splattered all over Mia’s hand, but she didn’t feel the pain coming

from it-it couldn’t compete with the pain in her heart.

Mia quickly used cold water to soothe her skin. While doing so, Maya’s coquettish voice rang in her ears. “Tim, my hand got scalded. It hurts so much. But please don’t blame Mia. I don’t think she did it on purpose.”
