Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen ) novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18

Soon, Ivan Levin, the Barretts’ family doctor, rushed over.

Timothy looked at the blisters on the back of Mia’s hand. His gaze darkened as he barked at Mia, “Why are you just standing there? Sit down!”

Mia moved toward the couch, but Sharon shoved her aside. “Stop getting in the way. Quick, Dr. Levin. Take a look at Maya’s hand. We wouldn’t want her wound to leave a scar.”

Sitting on the couch, Maya glanced smugly at Mia.

Mia stood rooted in her spot. It was as if she didn’t care at all. Timothy took a quick look at her but didn’t say anything.

Ivan set down his medical bag and started to inspect Maya’s wrist. All he found was a bit of redness. There wasn’t even a cut on her skin.

With a complicated look on his face, Ivan said, “I don’t think I need to check on her.”

“How can you say that? What if her injury worsens because it didn’t get treated on time? Are you sure you can take responsibility for that kind of mistake?” Sharon reprimanded.

Ivan adjusted his glasses before replying, “Her skin would heal in just half an hour. Ms. Mia is the one who needs immediate medical attention. If her injury is left unchecked, it’ll leave a scar.”

In an instant, the living room fell silent.

Maya was dissatisfied, but she said reluctantly, “Let the doctor check on her first, Mrs. Barrett. It’s fine. I’m not in a hurry.”

“What do you mean you’re not in a hurry?” Sharon exclaimed. “She’s just a poor orphan. How can she compare to you?

“So what if she gets a scar? It’s not like she’s dying. It’s different for you. If you get a scar, your brothers will think we abused you.”

Maya smiled and assured Sharon, “I won’t tell my brothers, Mrs. Barrett.”

Sharon immediately exhaled in relief. Then, she glared at Mia. “You heard that? Ms. Lane is kind enough not to hold this against you. Hurry up and thank her!”

Mia coolly retorted, “I didn’t push her. On the contrary, she’s the one who injured me on purpose! She’s the one who should be apologizing!” 1
