Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 5

Daniel and Amanda were stunned.

"Elena, what did you say? Your father can walk again?"

"Well, we can try. I can't make any guarantees."

"You know medicine?"

"A little. I learned from a mentor a while back. From now on, you can leave Dad's legs to me!"

For her parents, this was an incredible surprise.

Not only had they found their real daughter, but she also knew medicine. She was a treasure!

That evening, Amanda was ecstatic. To celebrate Elena's return, she bustled around the kitchen, preparing a special meal.

"Mom! Mom! Is it true? My real sister is back?" a boisterous man burst in, his voice booming.

Amanda emerged from the kitchen and shot him a glare. "Keep your voice down! You'll scare your sister. She just got here."

"Where is she? Where's my sister?"

The man's eyes scanned the room and landed on Elena, who was sitting on the sofa. Without a second thought, he rushed over and wrapped her in a bear hug.

"Ah! My real sister is home! I'm so happy!" he exclaimed excitedly, patting her back enthusiastically.

"Ahem..." Elena coughed lightly.

Luckily, she was in decent shape. Otherwise, a few more pats like that and her small frame might have fallen apart.

Amanda quickly pulled him away. "Watch it! Your sister is delicate, not a brute like you!"

She then turned to Elena, embarrassed. "Elena, this is your oldest brother, Ben Whelan! He's a bit of a blockhead, a real rough-around-the-edges kind of guy. Please don't mind him."

"Big brother," Elena managed to say.

He certainly was a brute. Tall and burly, a bit overweight, with a dark complexion.

She had seen her parents; they were not unattractive. Amanda, in particular, was quite beautiful, just worn down by hardship.

But this brother seemed to have perfectly avoided all their best genes, inheriting only their flaws.

"Hey, sis. Sorry, I wasn't as thoughtful as Chris, I didn't get you a gift. I just got off work, and I'm all sweaty. Hope you don't mind," Claire said.

Claire was also down-to-earth, but clearly a hard worker.

"It's okay," Elena said quietly.

It was her first day, and she still felt like a stranger to them, but they all seemed genuinely kind and simple.

"Alright, alright, wash up for dinner! Today we're welcoming our Elena home!" Amanda announced happily.

She had cooked a whole table full of dishes.

Daniel was wheeled out in his wheelchair to join them at the table, a rare occasion since his meals were usually brought to his bed.

Her oldest brother placed a shrimp in her bowl. "Here, little sis, eat up! This is my favorite!"

Her second brother added some stir-fried pork. "Sis, Mom's stir-fry is the best. You have to try it!"

Claire added a piece of fish. "Sis, this fish is super fresh. Eat up!"
