A breathless nurse hurriedly opened the office’s door. She reported, “Dr. Burnett, the patient in room 715 has wok

Before she could finish her sentence, Xavier stood up with a look of surprise on his face. He exclaimed, “That’s great; Stephanic is finally awake!”
He quickly grabbed Jeffrey, who was sitting beside him. Xavier hurriedly urged, “Let’s go, Jeffrey! We need to check on Stephanie.”
As their figures hurried off, the nurse swallowed the rest of her sentence and sighed.
However, their sister doesn’t appear normal.
Pite the older brother’s elegant and refined demeanour, their sister was sinister and bitter. Her whole
radiated a sharp and ruthless aura.
Just thinking about the cold, piercing look in that woman’s eyes made the nurse shudder again.
It was terrifying! Truly terrifying! If she hadn’t stayed in the hospital, she would have thought that woman would flay ber alive, even though they had never met before.
When Milly and her brothers arrived at the hospital, Stephanie was already awake.
The door was ajar. They could see her head wrapped in bandages and her hand receiving medication through an IV. She looked pale, her gaze blankly fixed ahead, her eyes unfocused, lost in thought.
Milly had wanted to come alone. Stephanie’s commotion had terrified everyone at home. However, Jordan insisted on accompanying her.
When Jonathan and Anthony learned this, they were initially in disbelief. Despite their grudge against Stephanie’s ruthlessness, they didn’t think she deserved to die. However, upon learning that Stephanie had injured herself while trying to frame their sister, they were furious.
Were Jordan not there, they would have brought weapons to the hospital to teach Stephanie a lesson.
Worried as they were, the fact that Jeffrey had travelled from afar to perform the surgery on Stephanie convinced them to accompany Milly. They justified it under the pretext that Jeffrey was too intimidating, and they needed to protect her.
Milly couldn’t help but raise an brow at this.
Her third brother. Jeffrey.
This formidable brother didn’t have much screen time in the novel. The author mainly highlighted his skills, where Jeffrey was the youngest medical professor, the top doctoral candidate at the best medical school, and a medical genius/who could cure any disease, including cancer.
As an actress skilled at controlling her emotions, she couldn’t help but laugh at this part.

Did the author have no common sense? Even if the author wanted to portray him as incredibly skilled, claiming he could cure cancer was a bit much.
However, it was just a novel that people read for fun; therefore, she didn’t dwell on it. When she heard about this character, her mind became momentarily blank.
Forget it! it wasn’t worth thinking about. Such a low–quality novel held no real value. Even without reading. the rest, she could easily guess it would be filled with excessive drama, mostly depicting Jeffrey’s doting love for his sister Stephanie in the most melodramatic way possible.
Composing herself, Milly raised her hand and knocked on the door. Knock, knock….
The noise drew Stephanie’s attention. She turned her head towards the door. In the next instant, her eyes widened as if she had seen something unbelievable. She even seemed to recoil slightly on the hospital bed.
Milly raised an eyebrow at her reaction. Was she scared of her, or was she trying to play the victim in front of Jordan?
Hmm. The latter seemed more likely.
However, her acting skills were impressive. One fall, and her performance had improved dramatically!
“How are you feeling?” Milly asked.
Stephanie remained silent.
Milly approached the bed, scrutinising Stephanie. Apart from the bandages and her pale face, she seemed fine, indicating she was out of danger.
“Since you’re okay now, we’ll head back. Jordan has already arranged for a nurse to take care of you. She should be here by noon.”
Milly had only come to see if Stephanie was still alive and make sure she hadn’t managed to kill herself with her antics.
Now that she was aware of her true identity, a hint of disappointment filled her. If Stephanie had died, the book might have ended with a forced bad ending, allowing Milly to return to her original time.
Since Stephanie was alive, there was no need to waste more time here.
“Wait!”
Stephanie suddenly called out as Milly turned to leave.
Anthony and Jonathan immediately stepped in front of Milly. Their expressions were cautious as they glared at Stephanie. “What do you want now?”
Stephanie bit her lip as she looked at the two handsome men blocking her view,
The timing of her rebirth was too late.
If she had been reborn earlier, she wouldn’t have let things get to this point. She wouldn’t have lost the love and care of three of her brothers.
Anger and regret churned violently in her heart.

She suppressed her sorrow, causing her body to tremble slightly and her eyes to turn red. She knew Jonathan and Anthony were soft–hearted towards her. Stephanie demanded. “I just want to speak with Milly alone. Look at me; I’m too weak to do anything else. Cough, cough.”
She even hunched over and coughed pitifully.
One had to admit that her ploy was impressive. She pitifully made her request, positioning herself as the vulnerable one, a tactic likely to soften any man’s heart.
Surprisingly, Jonathan wasn’t buying it. He snorted coldly and said, “We didn’t gag you. Say whatever you need to right now. Why must it be in private?”
Anthony echoed, “Exactly. What if you pull out your IV, fall out of bed, or your wound starts bleeding again? Then you’ll blame it on Milly again. What then?”
Stephanie was stunned.
“Pffi- Milly couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Anthony’s tactic was brilliant. He was effectively blocking Stephanie’s moves!
Realising it wasn’t appropriate to laugh, Milly quickly composed herself. Her expression turned serious as she gently pushed her brothers aside. She said, “It’s fine, brothers. I’ll talk to her alone.
“Wait outside for me.”
Jonathan was worried. He said, “But…
Before he could finish, Jordan, who had been silent, spoke up. “Alright, we’ll wait outside.”
With that, he grabbed both of his brothers and led them out. Jordan even deliberately closed the door behind him.
The room instantly fell silent.
