Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen

Seeing Patricia's shocked expression, Mia wasn't surprised at all.

She tenderly caressed Sage and Ginger's heads and said, "Yes, I brought them to visit you."

"Good, good!" Patricia responded, discreetly wiping away a tear. As she gazed at Sage and Ginger, memories of Mia's childhood resurfaced in her mind.

With immense joy, Patricia warmly welcomed Sage and Ginger, setting out a delightful array of snacks.

Turning to Mia with a touch of reproach, she said, "You should have told me your kids were coming! I could have prepared gifts for them. It's their first visit, and I haven't made any arrangements. It just doesn't seem right."

Looping her arm through Patricia's, Mia said gently, "There's no need for that. The kids have plenty of toys. This visit is about spending time with you."

Originally, Mia had planned to wait until Sage was fully recovered before visiting Patricia.

However, Laura's unexpected awakening and subsequent health complications disrupted her plans.

"There's a difference," Patricia emphasized. "Those are toys you bought for the kids. Gifts from me would hold a different sentiment."

With her sweet, childlike voice, Ginger added, "Grand-Aunt Patricia, I'm a good girl, you know. I love you, whether there's a gift or not."
