Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen ) novel Chapter 691

Chapter 691 

Mia glanced at Luna, then quickly covered her mouth, faking a smile. “Shelly, let’s not say things like that. We wouldn’t want to upset Ms. Maynard.” 

“Luna is incredibly understanding; she won’t take offense,” Shelly insisted. 

Mia couldn’t help but notice Luna struggling to maintain her composure. 

“I understand, but for individuals like us who casually indulge in luxury items, bags and shoes are merely superficial possessions. Ms. Maynard seems to attach excessive importance to them,” Mia remarked. 

Shelly readily agreed, “Exactly. For people from more modest backgrounds, a luxury item could represent their entire year’s salary, so they tend to attach great significance to it.” 

A hint of bitterness flashed in Luna’s eyes. Despite her inner turmoil, she forced a composed expression and inquired, “Shelly, how is Grandma Laura’s condition?” 

“They’re still doing everything they can to save her. It’s difficult to predict when it will all be over,” Shelly replied. 

Glancing at the time, she realized it was already quite late. Had Laura’s condition not 

suddenly deteriorated, Shelly wouldn’t have been summoned to the hospital by Harriette to 

attend to Laura. 

After all, Harriette had made it clear that she needed to behave well in front of Timothy to continue receiving her monthly allowance. 

Were it not for financial considerations, Shelly wouldn’t have found herself at the hospital in the dead of night, pretending to be dutiful. 

Moments later, Timothy and Caleb emerged from the consultation room. 

Luna hurried over. “Tim, how’s Grandma? I heard she received the reishi mushroom. What did the doctor say?” 

Luna displayed apparent concern for Laura, yet deep down, she dreaded the prospect of Laura waking up. 

Four years had passed, and Laura’s condition had deteriorated to the brink of death. Yet, to Luna’s dismay, Timothy had somehow obtained a stalk of reishi mushroom. 

Timothy’s expression turned somber as he responded, “We still have to await the results of

the treatment.” 

Caleb explained, “Considering Mrs. Barrett Senior’s prolonged illness and weakened state, a single stalk of reishi mushroom can only offer limited relief. 

“Finding another stalk would greatly improve her chances, but ultimately, there are no guarantees of her recovery. All we can do is await the results of the treatment and hope for the best.” 

Upon hearing this, Luna discreetly exhaled a sigh of relief. It seemed the odds of Laura waking up were slim. 

Finding a second stalk of reishi mushroom in such a short time was virtually impossible, especially considering the four years it took to locate the first one. 

With this realization, Luna could finally ease her worries. 

As long as Laura remained in her comatose state, the secrets of that fateful year would 

remain buried. 

Meanwhile, Mia couldn’t help but ponder Caleb’s words. 

It appeared that Timothy needed another stalk of reishi mushroom, and coincidentally, she 

had an extra one. 

Even though Mia didn’t have any sick relatives, her memory loss persisted, and Sage’s delicate health remained a concern. 

This compelled Mia and her brothers to keep collecting rare herbs, such as reishi 

mushrooms.
