The Remorseful Brothers

Chapter 159

Jacob looked uncomfortable. He had once been seriously ill and remembered that someone had stayed with him all night while he was in a trance. When he was at his worst, it was that girl who held his hand and accompanied him through the long nights,

One night, when his body temperature suddenly rose, the girl cried and went to find a doctor, begging him to treat him. Jacob felt helpless at the time, thinking that this girl was stupid. His disease wasn’t incurable so there really was no need to make such a big fuss.

When be

he finally recovered, there was only a pen left by his bedside. Thinking of this, Jacob’s expression darkened.

His body tensed up unnaturally. “Mom, tell me again. Who gave me the pen? Who accompanied me and took care of me all those nights Was it Madeline or Winslet”

Layla felt guilty. “What? I don’t remember already. Besides, why would someone like Madeline take illness.

care of you? She probably wished you died of

Winslet clenched her hands, feeling anxious. “Jacob, I gave you this pen. Have you forgotten? You know I won’t lie to you.”

Jacob took out the pen, caressing it a few times. “Where did you buy it?”

“L. I bought it at an exhibition.” Winslet’s eyes wandered. She was thinking that since it was an expert’s pen, it must have been bought at an exhibition. “I knew you liked it so…”

Jacob nodded and left without a word.

Winslet heaved a sigh of relief, thinking she had muddled through this matter. But she didn’t know that Jacob had begun to suspect her because this pen wasn’t something that could be bought from any exhibition. It was bought from another collector.

Jacobs got into the car in a trance. He couldn’t help but think of the day he was discharged from the hospital and went home. Madeline had gotten up very late, looking haggard and tired. He thought she was hanging out with ruffians again and had made sarcastic remarks.

At that time. Madeline had said it’d have been better for him die of illness.

In fact, many things didn’t add up on second thought. When he was sick Layla and Thomas had taken Winslet out on a trip. It was only Jacob and Madeline at home, so how did Winslet send him to the hospital and take care of him for days?

Jacob gripped the steering wheel tightly, his pupils shrinking slightly. “Was Was I wrong? Why Why are Mother and Winnie teaming up to deceive me? If it was Madeline, she_*
