Six Brothers Plea for Forgiveness Novel

Chapter 7 Menu Alice bowed her head , covering her mouth as she coughed violently .

Her thin back hunched over , as if she might cough up her lungs .

Calebs tone was harsh .

Dont think you can fake illness to avoid consequences ! You were supposed to take care of Chloe , get her water and food .

But instead , you let her , a patient , get you lunch ! And not only do you show no gratitude , but you also deliberately tripped Chloe .

Have you lost your conscience ? Alice stifled the cough .

I didnt push her .

She … Are you trying to say that Chloe fell because she couldnt stand ? Do you think Im going to buy such a pathetic excuse ? Do you admit to doing it on purpose ? Alices eyes stung .

She straightened up .

I dont admit it .

With a sharp crack , a slap landed on Alices face , instantly igniting a fiery pain .

But no matter how much her face hurt , it couldnt compare to the wound in her heart .

The pain left her numb .

Caleb , what are you doing ? Noah strode in and pulled Caleb away .

Noah , she did something terrible and still wont admit it .

I dont have a sister this cruel and unrepentant ! Chloe stood in the doorway , her hand wrapped in bandages , looking pitiful .

With red rimmed eyes , she spoke up : Caleb , I said it was my fault .

It has nothing to do with Alice .

Chloe , youre too kind .

I have to teach Alice a lesson ! Just as Caleb prepared to strike again , Jack abruptly pulled out a chair .

The screech of metal on the floor cut through the tension .

Alice looked up .

Jack stood there , expressionless , leaning against the table .

His eyes were cold and sharp .

family members of the student ? Noah nodded .

Yes , were her brothers .

you She has a 102.4 degree fever , suspected infection , and needs further examination .

Plus , shes hypoglycemic and somewhat malnourished ! Caleb was taken aback .

Shes really sick ? Hed thought Alice was faking it to avoid responsibility ! Jacks voice was calm but firm .

Perhaps you should get your eyes checked .

Its quite obvious .

The girls pale face and sickly appearance were hard to miss , werent they ? Caleb sputtered , What do you mean by that ?! Jack frowned , his tone icy .

I mean it literally .

Even though shes your adopted sister , if you take her in , you have to take responsibility .

Upon hearing the word adopted sister , Alices eyes flashed with sarcasm .

Noah quickly explained , Shes my biological sister , not adopted .

Jack raised an eyebrow .

Youd need a magnifying glass to see that .

If you hadnt identified yourselves as family , Id have called the police for child abuse ! 22:13 0.0 % < Chapter 7 Menu Seeing Alices swollen face , Calebs tone turned sour : You dont understand .

I was teaching her a lesson ! Noah was speechless .

Hed assumed Alice was healthy , unlike Chloe , who got sick after falling into the pool .

Caleb looked at Jack with disdain .

You dont know her .

Alice always fakes illness to avoid responsibility .

This time , she even deliberately hurt Chloe .

Chloes father died saving her .

Sometimes I want to rip open her heart and see if its black ! Alices throat burned painfully .

She wanted to argue but ended up saying nothing .

Even if she spoke up , it wouldnt matter ; they wouldnt believe her anyway .

Chloe bit her lip .

Its my fault .

I shouldnt have gone to class while sick .

I shouldnt have tried to get Alice lunch .

It is your fault , Jack said coldly .

You shouldnt have gone to class while getting an IV drip , and shouldnt have bothered others while sick .

Stop acting like your weakness gives you a right .
