Chapter 85 Brother's Beauty

• I've been lying in this damned hospital bed for longer than I care to think about. Sterile, white walls, the constant drone of machines—it's a never-ending nightmare. The scars, both physical and emotional, from our mother's attack still haunt me. But right now, none of that matters. All I can think about is my sister Isabella.
• Her name is a sweet, burning ache in my chest.Izzy. She's the only one who's ever made me feel, even when everything around me is falling apart. About two weeks ago, she was ripped out of my hospital room with strict orders that she’d return to Hillcrest University and finish her studies. The rest of our siblings are already there, aside from my twin, Samuel, and I can’t even think about what happened to him right now. I’ll deal with that trauma later like a typical Hillcrest man.
• Dad left the same day he forced Isabella to leave my side. He fucked off to the wilderness to that luxury cabin he’s been building for years. All the gossiping hospital staff have it in their heads that he left because he can’t handle what his wife did to his family. I like to think he left because he knew if he stayed here, he’d have to listen to me bitch about him separating Isabella and me. I grimace as I push myself to sit up.
