Chapter 213


    Chapter 213 Can’t Get Over It


    Luca and Aaron came across the pictures in the group chat; that jerk, Zac, had once again. posted a


    bunch of photos. Both groups were enjoying a seafood barbecue on the yacht, but this time, it wasn’t


    just Zac.


    Even Keira and Tina joined in on the mischief, posting numerous beautiful photos, all of them featuring


    Simone.


    There were pictures of them standing on the yacht, swimming in the sea, fishing together, and


    barbecuing. Every photo exuded so much energy. Most importantly, Simone looked incredibly happy


    and even cooked several seafood dishes that made everyone’s mouths


    water.


    Luca couldn’t help butment, “That jerk, Zac Turner, eats the most. Why doesn’t he eat himself to


    death?”


    Aaron chimed in, “Yeah, he could choke on it. He’s always following Simone around like a shameless


    dog.”


    Luca nced at the te of curry prawns and couldn’t resist the temptation, sighing. “Simone’s cooking


    skills are still as good as ever.”


    Overhearing their conversation, Andrew said curiously, “Let me see.”


    Without hesitation, Aaron handed him the phone, saying, “Take a look.”


    Salma cast a look at Luca, her intentions clear, and he reacted quickly this time, handing her the


    phone.


    After they finished looking at the photos, Andrew suddenly lost his appetite, longing for Simone’s


    cooking and medicinal soups, while Salma’s focus was more on the trio’s photos posted by Tina and


    Keira, where she saw her daughter so happy-eating, drinking, and having fun at sea.


    Her eyes welled up with tears once again. “I fainted and was hospitalized, but she didn’t visit me.


    Instead, she’s having so much fun and doesn’t care about me, her mother.” Upon seeing these photos,


    she finally epted the fact that Simone didn’t care about her and was also deeply hurt because this


    was something she had never expected.


    Her words silenced the three brothers for a moment, and they didn’t know how to respond. After all, it


    was the truth, and they were uneasy about it, too. If Simone didn’t even care about Salma, she


    probably felt the same way about them.


    How did ite to this? Andrew frowned. “This is truly outrageous Cutting off ties cannot truly sever


    our blood connection”

    He had always believed that they were siblings connected by blood and that there was nothing they


    couldn’t ovee. But now, it seemed that Simone couldn’t get over it.


    These words made Salma even more heartbroken, and she threw the bowl she was holding directly at


    him, hitting his face and covering him with food.


    Jumping up, he grumbled unhappily, “Mom, what are you doing?” What’s gotten into her? She threw a


    water cup at mest night, and now she’s throwing a bowl.


    Salma stood up and quickly walked to the corner, grabbing the broom in the ward. Swinging it at


    Andrew, she said, “What do you think I’m doing? If it weren’t for you guys, Simone wouldn’t have been


    targeted because of Jodie. How much was she hurt by you guys that she doesn’t even care about me


    anymore.”


    Unable to hold back, she cried while hitting, “She doesn’t even want me as her mother!”


    Not only Andrew but also Luca and Aaron couldn’t escape this time.


    “You bunch of troublemakers, if it weren’t for you, my daughter would already be here at the hospital


    Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    with me. You’re always causing trouble. Why did I give birth to you guys? You’re not worth anything.”


    Salma vented all her grievances and difort onto her three sons.


    Luca and Aaron, who were originally just bystanders, now also became victims of the beating, and they


    brother, especially Luca, who felt that participating in the variety show this time was the biggest


    mistake. If he had the chance to do it over, he would not participate. No. wonder his heartless second


    brother had helped him to participate; he probably wanted to see him in such a miserable state.


    Andrew also felt very unjustified because he wasn’t the only one who med Simone, so why was his


    mom focusing on hitting and punishing him?


    And now, it had all turned into their fault.


    Although his mom didn’t me Simone like they did, wasn’t she biased toward Jodie, too? Then, the


    scars on his face increased, as did those on his arms.


    Andrew was angry. “Mom, why are you so biased? You act like Simone cutting ties with us has nothing


    to do with you. Didn’t you give her a hard time back then? Didn’t you me Simone for being cold


    towards Jo? Now you’re acting like it’s all our fault, as if you’re innocent. While dodging, he added, “If


    you have no problem, why wouldn’t Simonee to the hospital to


    see you?”


    This was also what Luca and Aaron wanted to say they were indeed at fault, but their mom wasn’t


    innocent either!


    Both of them couldn’t help but dodge andin. “Yeah, Mom. That’s enough As


    23


    Simone’s mother, you didn’t protect her and favored Jo more. As your sons, we’re just learning from


    you. You used to say that Simone was messing around, and now you’re doing


    the same.”


    Exposed by her sons, Salma was ashamed, and her chest throbbed with anger. This was the thing she


    least wanted to admit and ept. They are not my sons; they are three troublemakers. Her blood


    pressure soared again, her body weakened, and her face turned even paler. Dropping the broom, she


    rushed to the bed as she struggled to breathe.


    The three brothers were startled by the situation. “Mom, what’s wrong with you?”


    Aaron immediately ran to call the doctor.


    The doctor came in and treated Salma again. Afterward, with a stern face, he lectured the Gray


    Family’s three brothers, telling them not to let the patient get so agitated again. If she fainted again, it


    would be very dangerous.


    The embarrassed three brothers could do nothing but swallow theirints and listen to the lecture,


    not daring to tell the truth to their mother anymore. Otherwise, if she fainted again, their guilt would be


    even greater.


    After Salmay down, she forcibly suppressed her anger lest her condition worsen, but she couldn’t


    help the tears streaming down her face. What had she done to deserve this?


    The three brothers sat by the bed, losing their appetite. Initially, Andrew nned to finish his meal and


    visit Jodie, but he didn’t dare to slip away now. Hence, he could only lower his head. and send


    messages to her.


    After Salma had shed enough tears, she heard the continuous, incessant sounds of her fourth. son’s


    phone notifications, and then she saw him bowing his head while typing. With a hard. face, she


    addressed Luca, saying, “Hand me Andrew’s phone and let me see it.”


    To avoid incriminating himself, Luca swiftly grabbed the phone from Andrew’s hand before he could


    react.


    The phone was still unlocked and disying the chat screen with Jodie.


    Upon reading the chat history, Salma eximed angrily at Andrew, “I’m in such a state, and yet, you


    still have the time to chat with Jodie, to cajole and entertain her. You heartless jerk. do you have any


    conscience at all? Is she more important to you than me, your mother?”


    She felt that she had raised her son in vain, and it truly infuriated her.
