My Repentant Brothers (Madeline Larson)

Madeline pursed her lips. Would anyone believe her even if she retorted at this moment!

The answer was a straight no.

She had always been the scapegoat for everything.

They used lies to expose and destroy her in her previous life.

"Perhaps, they had never seen me as a part of the family, but as a nemesis, Madeline thought.

She couldn't help sneering sarcastically when she looked at Joel's disdainful glare.

"You all have a prejudice against me. You will think that I am in the wrong no matter what I do or what I say.

Layla's brows knitted together as she retorted, "What are you insinuating? Are you suggesting that we're all teaming up to bully you! You have a despicable nature and didn't learn any manners from your uneducated grandparents in the village. Blaming others and complaining about bias when you've done wrong, you're so narrow-minded"

Layla grew livid, and her tone became increasingly aggressive.

The look in Madeline's eyes darkened. "That's enough. I don't mind if you talk bad about me, but leave my grandparents alone. I would have already been dead without them. You have no right to discriminate against them, not on my watch. My grandparents worked hard to raise me, squeezing out money just to pay my education fees. Where were you at that time, my dear mother?"

Madeline's eyes filled with disgust as she continued, "You were so busy taking care of your lovely Winnic

Layla was surprised to realize that her daughter, who was usually obedient and docile, had become so grouchy and difficult to handle.

Just as she was about to reprimand Madeline, the doctor stepped in impatiently.

"It is quite inappropriate for you all to be accusing a young lady, don't you think! Besides, she just had her head surgery and needs a go rest. You all can talk to her after she recovers. Is that all right?" Layla snorted. "I'm lecturing my daughter. It's none of your business."

With that, she stopped making a fuss and left in a hurry.

Complicated emotions swirled in Madeline's heart. Even a doctor, who was a total stranger, cared about her.

Her family members, on the other hand, treated her poorly.

They probably wished she was dead.

Madeline rested for the whole night and didn't eat anything

She was exhausted due to her head injury, and to make matters worse, her state of mind had yet to be stabilized after her rebirth.

Sleep was the best medicine to case her fatigue at this moment.

It was already past eight o'clock in the morning when she woke up.

The doctor came to check on her and change her bandage,

Madeline sat up when an old couple entered the room. Their clothes were ragged but clean.

"Maddie, are you feeling okay?" Frank couldn't help feeling heartbroken after seeing Madeline's pallid complexion. "Oh, my dear, what happened They promised to take good care of you when they took you away. Helena feir sorry for the young lady, 100. Yeah, If only we knew this would happen, we would've let you stay in the village."

Madeline looked at her grandparents and smiled. They were already gone when she was finally competent enough to repay them in her previous

Now that she had a new chance at life, she would be able to repay them for everything they did for her.

Madeline's eyes brimmed with tears as she shook her head and said, "Grandpa, Grandma, don't worry about me. I'm fine. How about you guyo How's Grandpa's illness?"

She paused for a while and asked, "My father sends you the medical bills on time every month, right?"

Taken aback by the question, Helena appeared confused.

Frank was rather balled too.

Madeline frowned after noticing their strange reactions, knowing something was amiss..

The 100 thousand dollars of compensation in her previous life was handled by her father too.

"Did Grandpa and Grandma not receive a single penny?" she wondered.

Her expression turned grim as she questioned, "Grandpa, the Larson family didn't provide you with any financial help to cure your illness, correct?"

Frank smiled awkwardly, "Maddie, I've always taught you not to take other people's things. I don't need money from others. I'm still healthy and can make money on my own to treat my disease. Besides, Im perfectly fine. I don't need to see a doctor." Helena turned her head aside to wipe her tears away.

Naturally, they didn't have the money to treat Frank's illness. Their trip to the city cost them the remaining last bit of their savings

They only came because they simply missed Madeline too much.

However, the old man's illness had indeed become so severe that he was in need of immediate surgery.

Her resentment toward the Larson family had reached its peak.

"What's wrong. Maddie? Don't cry. I'm fine, I promise."

Layla entered the room at this moment.

She frowned in disgust as she saw the old couple as if she hated to see them.

She covered her nose and snapped, "Hey! What are you two doing here? Didn't you two promise not to disturb our life Layla grew wary as she mused, "Are they here to ask for money! It's hard to say... If these country bumpkins are really here for money, I can't let them do as they please!"

"Madeline, don't forget your identity, You are the daughter of the Larson family. You are not who you were before. If you don't know what's good for you, you should go back to that shabby village!"

Frank stood up and said humbly. "It's all our fault. We got the news that Maddie was injured. That's why we are here to visit her.

"Maddie didn't know that we would com and we hadn't been contacting her!

"Mrs. Larson, please don't misunderstand Maddie We'll be leaving now!

Layla urged impatiently. "Are yo

Madeline stopped Helena and said, "Grandpa, Grandma, I'll take you to lunch,"

Then, ignoring Layla, Madeline took the old couple with her.

The elderly couple seemed rather uneasy, worried that they might be a burden to their granddaughter.

When they brushed past each other, Madeline looked at Layla's enraged face coldly.
