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 abunch of photos. Both groups were enjoying a seafood barbecue on the yacht, but this time, it wasn’tjust Zac.

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

There were pictures of them standing on the yacht, swimming in the sea, fishing together, andbarbecuing. Every photo exuded so much energy. Most importantly, Simone looked incredibly happyand even cooked several seafood dishes that made everyone’s mouths

water.

Luca couldn’t help but comment, “That jerk, Zac Turner, eats the most. Why doesn’t he eat himself todeath?”

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

Luca glanced at the plate of curry prawns and couldn’t resist the temptation, sighing. “Simone’s cookingskills 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 thephone.

After they finished looking at the photos, Andrew suddenly lost his appetite, longing for Simone’scooking and medicinal soups, while Salma’s focus was more on the trio’s photos posted by Tina andKeira, 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 accepted the fact that Simone didn’t care about her and was also deeply hurt because thiswas something she had never expected.

Her words silenced the three brothers for a moment, and they didn’t know how to respond. After all, itwas the truth, and they were uneasy about it, too. If Simone didn’t even care about Salma, sheprobably felt the same way about them.

How did it come to this? Andrew frowned. “This is truly outrageous Cutting off ties cannot truly severour blood connection”

He had always believed that they were siblings connected by blood and that there was nothing theycouldn’t overcome. 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 athim, 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 awater cup at me last 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 atAndrew, 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 meanymore.”

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 hospitalwith 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 discomfort onto her three sons.

Luca and Aaron, who were originally just bystanders, now also became victims of the beating, and theycomplained endlessly, feeling unjustified that they were in for a beating because of their youngerbrother, especially Luca, who felt that participating in the variety show this time was the biggestmistake. If he had the chance to do it over, he would not participate. No. wonder his heartless secondbrother 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 blamed Simone, so why was hismom focusing on hitting and punishing him?

And now, it had all turned into their fault.

Although his mom didn’t blame Simone like they did, wasn’t she biased toward Jodie, too? Then, thescars 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 nothingto do with you. Didn’t you give her a hard time back then? Didn’t you blame Simone for being coldtowards Jo? Now you’re acting like it’s all our fault, as if you’re innocent. While dodging, he added, “Ifyou have no problem, why wouldn’t Simone come 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’tinnocent either!

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

Simone’s mother, you didn’t protect her and favored Jo more. As your sons, we’re just learning fromyou. 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 sheleast wanted to admit and accept. They are not my sons; they are three troublemakers. Her bloodpressure soared again, her body weakened, and her face turned even paler. Dropping the broom, sherushed 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 GrayFamily’s three brothers, telling them not to let the patient get so agitated again. If she fainted again, itwould be very dangerous.

The embarrassed three brothers could do nothing but swallow their complaints and listen to the lecture,not daring to tell the truth to their mother anymore. Otherwise, if she fainted again, their guilt would beeven greater.

After Salma lay down, she forcibly suppressed her anger lest her condition worsen, but she couldn’thelp 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 planned to finish his meal andvisit Jodie, but he didn’t dare to slip away now. Hence, he could only lower his head. and sendmessages to her.

After Salma had shed enough tears, she heard the continuous, incessant sounds of her fourth. son’sphone notifications, and then she saw him bowing his head while typing. With a hard. face, sheaddressed 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 couldreact.

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

Upon reading the chat history, Salma exclaimed angrily at Andrew, “I’m in such a state, and yet, youstill have the time to chat with Jodie, to cajole and entertain her. You heartless jerk. do you have anyconscience 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.
