Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 1387

Viola knew that Alana had misunderstood, but she wasn't in a hurry to explain. Her mind was too clouded with confusion.

She closed the door and carried the medicine over. "Mom, drink the medicine first. We'll figure out the rest slowly."

Evelyn shook her head and looked at her daughter with weary eyes. "Viola, be honest with yourself. How has your older brother treated you all these years?"

Viola furrowed her brow slightly. "Mom, we don't have the means to help him. We're still living at Skye Embroidery, and the money for your medicine is all from Ms. Spencer."

"You're wrong. That money came from Isaac. He may not acknowledge us, but he has been working tirelessly for us these past days," Evelyn replied.

"Even if the money came from him, we have no right to ask him to give it to Oliver," Viola said.

Evelyn's face tightened, and with clenched teeth, she finally spoke the truth, "That money... it isn't his. When he returned, Zoey suggested giving him some compensation. So, we transferred some estates and shops to him."

"Since we've already given it to him and he has been looking after us in secret, do we really expect him to give it back? That wouldn't be fair to him, Mom," Viola countered.

Evelyn's face grew pale. "We've already wronged him enough. He resents us, but let him resent us, then. Your older brother may have made mistakes, but is now at the end of his rope. Am I supposed to stand by and watch him die?"

Viola looked down sadly and set the medicine aside. "Mom, perhaps you should tell Zoey. She's always the one with the most ideas."

"Absolutely not," Evelyn snapped immediately. "He's already made a fool of himself with his thoughts of divorce at the Southern Frontier, breaking your sister-in-law's heart. If she finds out, she'll definitely tell Lady Carissa. Do you know what the punishment is for running away like that? It's a death sentence. Do you want your brother to die?"

Evelyn's voice trembled from fear as she continued, "He's in grave danger right now. We need to get the money together and send him away as soon as possible. He only needs 3,000 silver coins. Find a way to get it to him.

"Go to Isaac and tell him that I can't stay at Skye Embroidery anymore because my condition has worsened. We need to buy a place for me to recuperate. I know he may seem indifferent, but he still misses me, and has been dutiful in his own way."

Viola sat down, remaining silent for a long while.
