The Remorseful Brothers

Chapter 80

Layla was still weary when the ambulance arrived.

The nurse reminded her, “Please have a family member follow us to the hospital.”

Layla, who had been muddle–headed, was about to leave in a daze.

Winslet said in a low voice, “What about me, Mom!”

Layla glanced at Winslet. It was as if she had found her anchor, and her soul finally returned to her body.

Her eyes glimmered, and she said with a forced, awkward smile, “Don’t be afraid, Winnie. I’m here. Realizing her predicament, she asked, “Which hospital are you from, doctor? I’ll ask my other son to hurry over.”

She also left them her phone number.

After the doctor had taken Harley away, Layla was on the verge of exhaustion and squatted her body stolidly in the empty hall.

She muttered, “Madeline is not dead. She has taken a new lease on life and changed into someone we are unworthy to seck connections with.

Winslet was slightly anxious and suggested, “It’s okay, Layla, If we are sure that Alina is Madeline, that’s a good thing. After all, blood is thicker than water. There is no enmity between a mother and a daughter. Have you forgotten? Maddie’s birthday is coming up soon. By then…” She bit her lips and continued, “By then, we can arrange a birthday party and celebrate it with her in person. She will definitely be touched”

Winslet had already diverted her train of thought then.

“Madeline will never let go of me. After all, I have scoffed and ridiculed her too much before. I must have offended her beyond measure. However, it is different for the Larson family. They share the same blood–the blood that is flowing through Madeline’s body. She will return to the Larson family when they strike the right chord that touches her. At that time, even if I am a blood–sucking leech, it will be enough for me to reap the benefits of Madeline. After all, Madeline has the Glorious Group.”

A calculating glint flashed through Winslet’s eyes.

“Mom, I remember that there will be a flower–presenting ceremony at the new student welcome party tonight. Why don’t you order a bouquet of flowers and send it to Madeline? If you lower your stance, she’ll surely be crestfallen and forgive you.

Layla raised her head, looked at Winslet, and asked, “You think so, Winnie? Why do I think she couldn’t be bothered to talk to me at all?” Then, she added angrily, “Besides, if she really is Madeline, how can she indulge that man to beat you up like that? And to have our family humiliated repeatedly? She is such an ungrateful person!”

Winslet said in a low voice. “Dad is supporting Larson Group alone now, Mom. I really don’t have the heart to see him working so hard. We should try our best to do what we can, okay? If Maddie can come around, even if I’m to kneel and seek her forgiveness, I will do so.”

A few tears dropped as Winslet said them, with the look of her swallowing humiliation and bearing the heavy load of the family.
