It was clear that Deanna was quite devoted to their mother.


    However, Brian had different thoughts in mind.


    “Deanna, moving Mom right now isn’t safe for her.


    Besides, Rosalynn is nning to start acupuncture treatment,” Brian said, his voice filled with a glimmer of hope that his mother could regain her consciousness with Rosalynn’s treatment.


    Deanna shot a look at Rosalynn, her eyes shing with agitation.


    “No, that’s not necessary.


    From now on, you have no say in Mom’s care.


    I can’t risk her staying here and losing herst breath,” she said firmly.


    Even though it wasn’t Rosalynn who had pushed their mother off the building, Deanna couldn’t shake the feeling that her presence had triggered the tragedy.


    She couldn’t get over th


    e sight of their mother lying in a vegetative state.


    Brian’s eyebrows furrowed.


    “What are you implying, Deanna? Are you ming Rosalynn? She had nothing to do with what happened.


    It was all Selina’s doing,” he defended, his tone sharp.


    “Can you stop defending her in front of me and Mom?” Deanna shot back, agitated.


    “Sure, it wasn’t directly her fault, but I’ve seen the footage.


    If you had justplied with Mom’s request back then, would she have fallen and ended up like this?”


    Brian nced at their mother, lying silent and lifeless on the bed, and sighed deeply.


    “Deanna, let me exin.


    I didn’t know Mom had been hypnotized.


    I thought she was trying to manipte me.


    I didn’t think she would actually jump, so I didn’tply with her demands,” he said, his voice heavy with regret.


    Deanna’s eyes reddened with emotion as she shouted, “There’s no need to exin anymore! To you, Mom’s life doesn’tpare to your marriage, right? Theizens are right-you’re just a cold-blooded person!”


    “Brian, you’re not the big brother I once respected.


    We might share the same mother, but you never had much affection for her.


    Stop pretending you care.


    You can leave now.


    From this moment on, whether Mom lives or dies has nothing to do with you,” she dered with finality.


    Her words were sharp and filled with disappointment.


    Brian’s lips pressed tightly together, his jaw tense.


    His Adam’s apple bobbed as if he wanted to respond, but no words came out.


    Rosalynn gently tugged on his hand.


    He turned to her, seeing the slight shake of her head, signaling him to stay silent.


    She knew that Deanna’s grudge against them made any exnation useless.


    Brian swallowed his anger, forcing a calm question.


    “When do you n on leaving?”


    After packing Noemi’s things, Deanna nced at the clock but remained silent.


    At that moment, several medical staff members entered.


    “Miss Cruz, the ne is ready.Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.

    Deanna nodded, “Alright, we can go now.


    Please be gentle when moving my mother.


    ”


    “Understood”
