Chapter 105 Lines Drawn

When you truly care, the difference shows.

Watching Sierra walk away without hesitation, Bradley couldn’t bring himself to call her back.

+8 Pearls

Everything she had said earlier had made him realize the truth–he had been lied to. And the person who deceived him was the sister he had always cherished the most.

At first, he was furious. He believed everything traced back to Sierra’s suffering during those three years in prison.

If only Denny hadn’t taken that money for herself–if she had used it to help Sierra instead–none of this would have happened

Before he could even confront her. Denny had broken down into tears, sobbing uncontrollably. She admitted she had made a mistake, that she had acted out of fear–fear that they would abandon her. After all, Sierra was their biological daughter–the rightful Xander heiress.

She was terrified that her parents and brother would stop caring about her, and that fear drove her to do what she did. Even she felt ashamed of herself.

At first, they were angry. But when they saw their beloved sister break down in tears, their frustration faded, and their hearts softened.

At the

e core of it Denny was just afraid she didn’t truly belong. She had never felt completely at ease in the family. Could they really hold that against her?

And when she suddenly collapsed and had to be rushed in for emergency surgery, whatever lingering frustration they had disappeared completely. All that remained was concern and guilt.

This wasn’t Denny’s fault. If only they had recognized her fears earlier, reassured her, and helped her through them, none of this would have happened.

That was what Bradley had believed–until he saw Sierra just now.

Denry was innocent, but what about Sierral Wasn’t she the real victim in all of this?

When Bradley led the specialist upstairs, he noticed Eleanor’s eyes were still red from crying.

As the doctor examined Denise, Bradley hesitated before saying. “Tjust saw Sierra downstairs. I’m not sure if she’s sick.”

The room fell silent for a moment.

Then Eleanor spoke. “Check with the hospital director. She won’t tell us if something’s wrong–she doesn’t want to see us. But maybe we can find a way to help.”

“Good idea

Bradley felt a wave of relief. They did care about Sierra. They had just been unaware of how much she had suffered. But moving forward, things would be different. One day, Sierra would understand that everything they did was for her own good. It didn’t take long before Bradley got an answer.

“She said it was for her brother?” Bradley asked, stunned.

Yes told the hospital staff, she is here for her brother. As for his condition..”

Bradley’s face darkened with anger.

She cut ties with us and refused to acknowledge our family, yet she casually took in some random guy as her so–called brother? Who knows

family’s daughter–our sister. What will people think? They’ll assume he is connected to our family too. Someone from his kind of background int fit to be associated with us!

Dickson sat quietly, waiting for Sierra. He didn’t want to be around people, especially not the doctors and nurses. Their pitying looks made his skin crawl, and he couldn’t stand it.
