Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen

Chapter 405
Mia hadn’t expected Claude to bring up her past. She shook her head, admitting. “I don’t recall much.”
“Nothing at all? Yet you seem to remember the piano piece you learned as a child,” Claude observed.
“I believe I suffered a serious illness when I was young, and after that, my memories of the orphanage became hazy. I can only
recall fragments,” Mia explained.
She couldn’t even remember Rowan’s face, just fleeting memories of playing the piano with her and the image of her gentle,
beautiful hands.
Claude was familiar with Mia’s story. An investigation was conducted when he and his brothers first found Mia, and Patricia’s
account confirmed the same..
After being adopted and leaving the orphanage, Mia fell seriously ill due to neglect from Bob and Mary. and she nearly died from
a high fever.
After miraculously recovering. Mia forgot everything about her time at the orphanage.
“Mia, do you remember having any friends at the orphanage when you were young?” Claude asked.
“I don’t remember,” Mia replied, shaking her head.
Perplexed by Claude’s questions, she inquired, “Claude, why are you asking about this? Are you implying
that I had friends at the orphanage?”

“Never mind, it was just a random question. You seem tired today; you can stop practicing and get some rest. Claude said,
dismissing the topic.
Claude didn’t disclose the whole truth. Ever since he and his brothers found Mia and learned that she had been discovered in a
different orphanage, he had started to doubt Maya’s story.
Maya was initially found at another orphanage, and at that time, she provided vague clues about Mia’s whereabouts, which led to
Dominic being unable to find Mia.
Claude couldn’t shake the suspicion that Maya might be lying.
But with Mia having forgotten everything about the orphanage and her past, their discovery of her was a
stroke of luck. Dominic also planned to sever ties with Maya.
If Mia ever did recall her past and if it turned out to be linked to Maya, Claude would certainly not let
Maya off the hook.
In the days that followed, Mia dedicated herself to practicing the piano and designing the layout for the
hall decorations.
Despite being constantly busy, she managed to slip away to the hospital during lunchtime to visit Laura.

She had made a promise to Laura to visit often, and she couldn’t afford to break that promise. Otherwise, Laura might become
suspicious.
With a basket of fruits in hand, Mia entered the hospital room to find Laura awake. Mia smiled and approached her. “Grandma,
you look much better today.”
Laura, no longer connected to a ventilator, spoke softly, “You look tired. Have you been busy lately?”
“There’s been a lot going on at college recently, but it’ll be over soon. I know how to take care of myself,” Mia reassured her.
“Remember, you’re taking care of two people now, so be sure to prioritize your health,” Laura reminded
Mia.
Upon hearing Laura’s advice, Mia nodded obediently. After spending some time chatting with Laura and eating lunch together,
Mia left the hospital room.
However, as she reached the elevator outside, a woman emerged from the adjacent emergency exit–it was Maya.
She sneered, “Mia, you’ve only managed to establish yourself in the Barrett family by deceiving Mrs. Barrett Senior, haven’t you?
I didn’t know you were so skilled at sweet–talking her.”
Maya continued with her mockery. “Why don’t you consider working for those health supplement companies? You’d definitely be
their top salesperson.”
Mia remained composed. “Jealousy doesn’t suit you. It’s not a good look.”
“Mia, your moment of glory won’t last. After all, that old hag won’t be around much longer. Let’s see who stands by you then. You
can’t stay in the Barrett family forever,” Maya shot back.
Mia raised an eyebrow. “Even if you were to strip naked in front of Timothy, he still wouldn’t marry you. He even called off your
engagement. Don’t you think you’re being absurd?”
