Chapter 55 It Is A Family Affair

The atmosphere in the hospital was emotionally charged up and tensed. Lenny, Westley, and Gabrielle were waiting outside the operating theatre. “Sloane is now lying in the operating room. I had to come over. I have to be here with her.” Benny tried to look tough and hard. He felt he was doing the right thing by being with Sloane in the hospital.

“I don’t know what slone meant to you, neither do I understand your relationship. but when she was beaten up by three women with blood oozing from all over her body, where were you? You didn’t care about her until she was sent into the operating room. Don’t you think it’s rather too late now?” Westley said coldly.

“Sloane is my … Younger sister” Benny felt pained and humiliated by the way Westley spoke to him.

Even though many people knew how Sloane and Benny were related, Benny never really admitted it to anyone. He hardly talked about his sister

This was the first time that he had admitted to people that Sloane was his younger sister.

They were stepbrother and stepsister and

although they had lived together for more than ten years, they were not as close as siblings should be. Their relationship had always been ordinary.

“No, that can’t be true. Sloane doesn’t have an unprincipled and wicked brother like you who only likes to intimidate her. This time around, she was hurt because you refused to intervene when you were supposed to. How can you say that you are her brother wheri you can’t even protect her?” Gabrielle stood out from Westley’s back and scolded Benny in anger.

“If they were siblings, why would he be 90 mean to her all the time?’ Gabrielle thought.

She also had a brother. Although Eryce had always ignored her like she didn’t exist, at least he wasn’t so mean to her as Benny was to Sloane.

Comparing both of them, Bryce was far better than Benny Though Bryce eloped with Westley’s fiancée thereby making her the scapegoat to marry Westley.

“Gabrielle, no matter what you say, I’m still Sloane’s brother…”

“It’s your family affair Benny, and I shouldn’t have interfered with it, I know that. But since you’re her brother, you have to know that she was badly injured because of you. You

don’t deserve to be her brother at all. How can a brother make his sister suffer unjustly?” Westley was insinuating something by his statement. He wasn’t just talking to Benny about his attitude towards his sister but was also mocking Bryce for what he did to Gabrielle. .

Gabrielle was about to reprimand Benny but when she saw Westley doing so, she calmed down a bit Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

She wanted to praise her husband for Tebuking him.

“A man like Benny doesn’t deserve to be called a real man,’ she said to herself.

But when she thought about the words very well, she had a feeling that Bryce was also that kind of brother and was no different from Benny

If a brother could make his sister suffer from the mistakes of what he did, then he didn’t deserve to be called a real man either.

Bryce was also that kind of person.

He ran away with Westley’s fiancée and made his sister marry Westley as punishment for his foolish action.

‘Westley was scolding Benny but was indirectly abusing Bryce, wasn’t he?’ she

Westley. what do you mean?” she asked with a confused look on her face.

Westley ignored her and coldly looked at Benny. “Benny, since you’re arguing about being Sloane’s brother, it would be better if you didn’t show up here for some time. Deal with your woman first before coming to see her.”

“If you choose to be with that dangerous woman called Estelle, please stay away from Sloane for the rest of your life.” Gabrielle immediately said that to defend her friend..

“Gabrielle, you must stay out of this!” Benny’s face darkened as he yelled at her.

Benny didn’t want to tell anyone what had happened between him and Sloane: 1

To him, it was his family affair.

“How do you expect me to stay out of this? This time, Sloane was hurt and she is now in danger. She almost died! Do you know that? If you still care for Sloane as your sister and still have even just a little conscience, just let her go, please. You even threatened her with the address of where her mother was buried, didn’t you? Can you just be a real man and tell her the address instead of beating around the bush?”

Gabrielle was becoming quick-tempered now. She would fight Benny to protect the life of her friend

“A man like Benny doesn’t deserve to be anyone’s brother, let alone Sloane’s brother, she thought to herself as she shook her head in pity.

“Gabrielle, this issue is between Sloane and me. I’m sorry I won’t be able to accept your advice,” Benny said as he looked at her with so much unconcern.

“How can he say that he won’t be able to accept my advice? Shit!” she cursed under her breath.

Gabrielle boiled with so much anger that she wanted to scratch his face at that moment.

‘What a shameless man he is!’ she thought. angrily.

“Why can’t you just be a real man Benny? Just let go of Sloane and stop torturing her this way. She is in the operating room right now, fighting for her life! What else do you want from her?” She was visibly upset.

By chance, Alvin came around.

“Mr. Morris, I have handled the issue. Is Miss Jones all right?” Seeing the gauze on

Gabrielle’s face, Alvin felt both funny and sad at the same time without knowing why.

“Alvin, take her to the car and buy her a cup of iced coffee. She needs to calm down.” Westley immediately told Alvin to take Gabrielle away who was already getting worked up as a result of Benny’s unruly behavior.

“I won’t leave, Westley. I’m staying here with Sloane.” When she heard she was about to be driven away, she contorted her face in a frown.

“Obviously, men were the same. They were all bad. Westley was going to support Benny’s actions, wasn’t he?’ she thought to herself in annoyance

“Gabrielle, if you don’t obey me this minute, I will never let Sloane out of the operating room.” Westley looked at her cruelly, which made her afraid.

She had been arguing here for quite a long time and he had wanted to shut her several times and now was the perfect opportunity to do so.

“Westley, you…” She stared at Westley, but wasn’t able to say anything,

Because she knew very well that he would do whatever he said.

“Miss Jones, please come with me.” Alvin immediately asked Gabrielle to leave. Westley kept staring at her in annoyance when she didn’t move.

“Westley, don’t let Benny stay here with Sloane. If she sees him, she will faint in anger, – Gabrielle told Westley worriedly. i

“Gabrielle, when did it become your job to teach me what to do?” Westley began to get impatient.

“I don’t mean it that way. I’m leaving now.” Gabrielle followed Alvin downstairs in a huity and looked back at them several times.

When Gabrielle left, the corridor became much more peaceful.

Benny stared at the light in the operating room and took out his cigarette hesitantly. “Westley, do you mind if I smoke here?” Benny asked pleadingly.

“I don’t mind, but the hospital doesn’t allow smoking in their premises.” Westley didn’t like Benny and so he roughly spoke to him.

Although Westley was not fond of judging everyone’s character and habits as far as it had nothing to do with him, Gabrielle’s complaints about Benny made him have a very bad impression of him.

Particularly, men like Benny and Bryce were both similar in several ways.

Benny put the cigarette back in its place silently, trying to be calm. “I didn’t expect that Gabrielle would agree to marry you.” Benny spoke as he looked at Westley. 1
