Lock You In My Heart

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. .
