My Six Brothers Killed Me (Caroline) novel Chapter 275

Chapter 275 Maia Learns the Truth

That rib had to be poisoned. This woman must be trying to kill me.

Maia stared suspiciously at the bowl in front of her. Caroline seemed to guess what she was thinking and gently patted her hand to reassure her. “Don’t worry. All the food on this table is safe.”

To prove it, Caroline picked up a grilled rib and took a big bite herself,

Only then did Maia relax enough to start cating the one in her bowl.

Throughout the meal, Alaina kept smiling and occasionally added food to Maia’s plate.

Gradually, Maia began to look less afraid of her.

Just as they were finishing, Maia suddenly spoke up, “Don’t think being nice to me now means you’re off the hook, Alaina! You blinded me in one eye. That’s not something a few kind gestures can erase.”

Caroline was sitting right beside her, so Maia wasn’t afraid of Alaina doing anything.

Alaina’s face filled with guilt. “I’m sorry. I’ve had a string of really bad days, and I lost control.”

Maia’s eyes burned with hatred. “And what–an apology is supposed to fix that? If I killed your daughter and then apologized, would you be okay with it?”

Alaina shook her head and whispered, “No. You’re right. I did something terrible, and this is the way the heavens have chosen to punish me.”

She had lashed out and hurt a girl so badly only to find out later that the girl might be her biological daughter.

If that turned out to be true, Maia would probably never accept her.

The heavens truly knew how to punish people.

“Heaven’s punishing you?” Maia laughed bitterly. “Where’s the punishment? If there was really justice, someone as cruel as you should be dead. Not just you–your wicked daughter too!“.

There had never been fairness in her life. If there was, why had people like her–who’d suffered since birth -continued to be beaten down, while monsters like Alaina walked free?

Alaina didn’t argue. Her face was filled with sorrow and regret. “Hurting my daughter with my hands and even damaging her eye… That pain is worse than death. Isn’t that punishment enough?”

Maia frowned in confusion. “What?”
