My Repentant Brothers by Grace Edith

Chapter 167

Time passed extremely slowly. Yet, it also felt like she had merely taken a nap and woken up:

Winslet opened her eyes in a daze, and the person in front of her was none other than Thomas, whose face was dark and grim,

"Dad... Dad..." Winslet's voice was hoarse. She glanced around and saw her mother beside her.

"Mom.." she said.

Thomas looked at Winslet's face. Now, her appearance was vastly different from Madeline's. To put it bluntly, she looked like a cheap har hostess.

Thomas felt little pity. Instead, he was angry that years of careful cultivation had been ruined in an instant. "Take care of her. I'm going to the company," he said, turning and leaving the room without hesitation.

Layla sat beside Winslet, her eyes filled with concern and pain. She said, "Winnic, don't be afraid. Everything will be fine."

Winslet couldn't hold back her tears and clutched Layla's hand. She said, "Mom, give me a mirror... Give me a mirror!"

Layla sighed and said, "Don't look at it. Focus on recovering. Don't think about anything else. If you hadn't deliberately had surgery to look like Madeline, this wouldn't have happened. Now look at the mess."

Layla said helplessly, "You should have understood how terrifying her brothers were the last time they broke your arms and legs"

Layla shuddered at the memory of that morning when someone had kicked open their front door. A hulking man had thrown the bloodied Winslet at their doorstep and warned them that if they dared to provoke Madeline again, the Larson family would be wiped out It was terrifying, Layla trembled just thinking about it.
