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.
"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."

The readers' comments on the novel: Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen
I've never encountered a book with over 1,000 chapters. Does the author or platform not use an editor? The writing and grammatical errors are quite frustrating....
Why does it read status ongoing? If it’s ongoing chapter 1187 isn’t the end, I’m confused...
Chapter 1187 is the end? Too soon of a ending if its the ending they just ruined the sorty for me...
