Meet My Brothers

Timothy strode toward Luna, his stare penetrating. "Tell me, what brings you here?"

Nervously, Luna stuttered, "I-I heard Mrs. Barrett Senior had woken up, so I came to check on her."

"Is that so? Are you sure your intention wasn't to disconnect Grandma's ventilator?" Timothy's accusation cut through the air.

"N-No, when I arrived, the ventilator had already been removed by someone else. You have to believe me."

Despite Luna's protests, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. Why was Timothy so composed and unaffected by the situation?

As Luna glanced back at the hospital bed, she was stunned to see Laura, who had appeared frail just moments ago, now standing effortlessly, devoid of any hint of frailty. Luna finally grasped the truth-this woman wasn't Laura at all.

It was all a meticulously planned ruse.

The realization hit Luna like a thunderbolt, her gaze fixed on Timothy with disbelief. "So, you knew I was coming to the hospital all along?"

"Obviously," Timothy replied nonchalantly.

"So, you're telling me you orchestrated this entire setup? It seems like you were eagerly waiting for me to take the bait, weren't you?"

Despite Luna's efforts to appear assertive, her trembling body betrayed her underlying fear.

Timothy peered at Luna with a condescending gaze. "Did you honestly believe you could escape the consequences of your actions after all this time?"

"It wasn't me, I swear. I didn't do anything. Besides, my tattoo is gone. What basis do you have for accusing me?" Luna countered, desperation creeping into her voice.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

"Well, just the fact that you were a convict who escaped illegally and attempted murder for a second time. Those charges alone are enough to ensure you spend the rest of your life behind bars," Timothy declared sternly.

Luna's body went numb with shock, and she instinctively clung to Timothy's leg. "No, I can't be arrested. Asher is still in Nord City; he can't be without his mother."

With a forceful shove, Timothy pushed Luna away. "Having a mother like you is the real tragedy," he said coldly.

"But how can I trust the Shelberts to properly care for Asher? You should bring him back to the Barrett family," Luna pleaded, desperation tainting her voice.

Timothy's demeanor grew icy as he remarked, "I see no problem with Asher staying with the Shelbert family."

At Timothy's words, Luna's body trembled with apprehension. "Timothy, you're deliberately doing this, aren't you?" she accused.

"Exactly. I'm retaliating against you on purpose. After all, Asher is nothing but a pawn to you."

Before Luna could respond, the surrounding bodyguards swiftly subdued her. However, she offered no resistance this time, recognizing that her fate was sealed.

Her expression twisted with

defiance as she argued, "Why should

I bear all the blame? Wasn't it that

old hag who prevented me from returning to the Barrett family in the first place? Asher is also a part of

the Barrett family, fored

sake. Why shouldn't he be allowed

to go back?"

Ignoring Luna, Timothy firmly commanded, "Take Luna to the police station."

"Timothy, swear, karma will catch

up to you. I've always known that it's impossible for wealthy individual's like you to truly understand the

hardships that us regular folks face.

"If only you had spared some money, Asher and I could have lived well, and none of this would have happened. It's all your fault."

As Luna was escorted away, Timothy's legs almost buckled beneath him.

Observing the scene, Heath quickly stepped forward to steady him. "Mr. Barrett, are you alright?"

"Tell me, is this my punishment?"

Noticing Timothy's pallid lips, Heath promptly reassured him, "Mr. Barrett, don't let the words of such a toxic woman get to you. She's nothing but selfish.

"If Mrs. Barrett Senior had kept Luna around back then, who knows what other cruel deeds she might have committed."

With a single step forward, Timothy's legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground unconscious.

As Mia stirred awake the next morning, a sense of unease washed over her.

Following her usual routine, she took Ginger and Sage to the hospital to visit Laura.

Upon their arrival, Heath approached Mia urgently, his expression filled with concern. "Ms. Lane, Mr. Barrett has fainted."

Concerned, Mia asked, "What happened to him?"

"Luna was apprehended last night,

but not without exchanging some harsh words. Timothy was so overwhelmed by anger that he collapsed on the spot," Heath detailed, recounting the events from the previous evening.
