Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen novel Chapter 129

Chapter 129 

Upon spotting Connor, Maya dashed toward him, her face lit up with surprise and joy. Connor, is that really you? I almost thought I was imagining things.” 

Connor furrowed his brow subtly and instinctively moved away from the infusion room, aiming to avoid being 

seen by Mia

Honestly, he now felt a twinge of regret. Why did he ever agree with Dominic to bring Maya home as

replacement sister

Now, each time he encountered his biological sister, Mia, a pang of guilt washed over him

Taking another look at Maya, Connor recognized the absence of a profound emotional bond between them

Given that Maya typically resided with Laura and seldom interacted with him and his brothers, their sibling 

connection lacked depth

Yet, from a young age, Maya consistently gravitated toward them, often displaying overt efforts to gain their 

approval

This lingering dynamic was also a reason for Connor’s lukewarm feelings toward Maya

With a strained smile, Maya questioned, Connor, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?” 

Not particularly. Anyway, why were you looking for me?” 

Connor, I’ve been trying to reach you earlier with no luck. You didn’t answer calls or respond to my WhatsApp messages. Seeing you here in Bern City, do you know how thrilled I am?” 

With Connor in Bern City, Maya felt a surge of optimism

Could his presence there mean that she was close to gaining his consent for Laura’s surgery

Maintaining his stoic expression, Connor replied, Work has been keeping me occupied.” 

Connor, I get why you kept your presence in Bern City a secret. But I genuinely care for Timothy

If you help with his grandmother’s surgery, he’ll agree to marry me. You know I’ve rarely asked you for anything. Can’t you help me just this once?” 

Maya pleaded with a puppydog eyes. Her hunched stance made her look pitiful

At the mere mention of Timothy’s name, Connor’s expression hardened. No way!” 

If Maya were to marry Timothy, wouldn’t that mean regular interactions between the Barrett and Lane families? Furthermore, what exactly was so appealing about Timothy anyway

Maya’s expression soured slightly. Connor, why not? The Barrett family’s prominence in Bern City is undeniable, and Timothy is incredibly capable. He’d be a suitable match.” 

+15 BONOS 

He’s been through a marriage.” 

But I’m okay with that.” 

I’m not.” 

With a stern tone, Connor asserted, Maya, I’ll say it once more: I won’t perform the surgery, nor will I support your union with Timothy. I’m doing this for your wellbeing.” 

Without another word, he turned and walked away, leaving Maya standing by herself, her face etched with discontent

Observing Connor’s departure, she grappled with the reasons behind his strong opposition

Yet, amid her confusion, there was a sliver of solace: Connor’s actions seemed to stem from a place of concern for her wellbeing

This suggested that there was still an opportunity to sway his decision

After all, she was the cherished young lady of the Lane family

She swiftly dialed Blake, her assistant. Blake, Connor has been at the public hospital in Bern City for some time now. Why wasn’t I informed

You’ve been searching extensively yet couldn’t determine Connor’s whereabouts?” 

I’m sorry, Ms. Lane. Dr. Lane values his privacy and has never been fond of having an assistant around. Keeping tabs on him, particularly when he chooses to be elusive, is quite the challenge.” 

This is unacceptable! Investigate why Connor is in Bern City and explore any possible history between him and Timothy. Conduct a thorough investigation.” 

With a sense of exasperation, Maya ended the call

Apart from the incident three years ago, was there another reason why Connor harbored such strong resentment toward Timothy
