As the situation took a negative turn, Dahlia hastily exclaimed, "Mrs. Barrett Senior, could you please come out and settle this?
"We heard you were discharged from the hospital, so we brought gifts to visit you. We never expected to be kicked out!"
Frowning, Mia retorted, "Hush, you'll wake Grandma."
Weren't they aware that Laura was resting?
"Okay, okay, what's all this noise about?"
At that moment, the elevator doors opened, and Laura stepped out. Catching sight of Mia, she greeted her with a warm smile, "My dear Mia, come here. Let me get a good look at you."
Just as Mia stood up, Dixie hurried toward Laura, crying out, "Mrs. Barrett Senior!"
However, Laura deftly moved aside, causing Dixie to miss her and tumble painfully to the floor.
Mia cringed at the sound, almost as if she could feel the pain herself.
Laura gently patted her chest. "My delicate body can't endure being tackled like that. Mia, come here, let me have a look at you."
Mia grinned as she approached, assisting Laura in settling onto the sofa. "Grandma, did we disturb your sleep?"
"It's alright, I've already had a long nap. It's time to wake up, or else I'll struggle to sleep tonight," Laura reassured.
Just then, Dahlia stepped forward, offering a gift box.
"Mrs. Barrett Senior, I heard you have a fondness for scarves. I specifically visited this store and picked up their latest collection. The colors in this batch are limited edition, only one of each."
"Really? Let me take a look."
Mia cast a glance at the box, noticing it bore a striking resemblance to the packaging from the store where she purchased her scarves.
Was it merely a coincidence?
As Dahlia revealed the contents of the box, Mia observed three scarves nestled inside.
"How could you suddenly have the money to afford such expensive scarves?"
Mia clicked her tongue disapprovingly before presenting the receipt. "Here's the receipt from my purchase today. Would you like to double-check?"
"This can't be!" As Dahlia examined the receipt, she found no evidence of forgery.
Feeling a pang of unease, she shifted her gaze and commented, "Humph, in this day and age, anything can be falsified."
"Exactly. Considering your background, it's clear you can't afford it. Stop pretending."
Turning to Timothy, Mia retorted, "But I went shopping with him today. He can vouch for me."
Upon hearing this, Dahlia and Dixie were left momentarily speechless, their expressions frozen in astonishment.
They hadn't expected Timothy to join Mia on her shopping excursion.
Now, caught off guard, they found themselves scrambling to come up with a plausible explanation.

The readers' comments on the novel: Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen
Enjoyed reading this but I agree that the last chapter seemed rushed. Maybe if the author had done a few more chapters to let us know if they remarried or not - could there be a second book in the running. Anyway we'll done....
Who's Claude in chapters 276/277? Have I missed a chapter or something?...
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...
It reads 7 chapters per day, yet today only 2...
Patiently waiting for her to realize they belong together...
