When The Family Reads The Fake Heiress Mind novel Chapter 319

Chapter 319 Jealousy or Something More?

Dominic personally drove Jean to the hospital.

The entire floor where Sienna was being treated had been cleared out.

Outside the ICU, Jean saw not only Easton, Carl, and Winston, but also Samuel.

Even he was here. That alone showed how serious the situation was.

As soon as she approached, she overheard Samuel talking quietly with the others.

“I heard from some colleagues at the hospital… They said she was badly injured.” Samuel’s expression was unreadable, his voice calm and distant, betraying nothing.

He had not been home in a long time. His relationship with the family had all but disintegrated. Aside from a recent encounter with Jean, he rarely made contact with the Ginger family at all.

So for him to show up here, face–to–face with his brothers, it was nearly unheard of.

But after hearing the grim rumors of a violent crash from hospital staff and receiving a personal phone call from Dominic urging him to come, he had finally decided to show up.

“Samuel!” Jean’s eyes lit up. She ran over and tugged on the sleeve of his hanging arm. “You actually came…”

Her surprise was genuine, and so was her relief.

Samuel’s pale gaze dropped to the top of her head. His lips curved faintly as he gently ruffled her hair, “It’s been a while.”

Their exchange, soft and natural, fell into the eyes of the others like a silent crack in the air. The others could not help but feel a twist in their chests.

Clearly, at that moment, Jean’s first glance was solely directed at Samuel.

And they, her other brothers, felt like they were being left behind.

The feeling was subtle, difficult to name. It stung a little.

Was it jealousy? Or was it… something else?

The realization startled them.

Jealousy… over their sister talking to someone else? Even if that ‘someone‘ was their own brother?

It was absurd. Utterly absurd.

“Right,” Jean asked suddenly, her eyes sweeping across their faces. “What did the doctors say? How’s Mom?”

“She made it through surgery,” Samuel replied evenly, his gaze drifting toward the ICU doors. “Her condition is stable for now, but she’s not out of danger yet. Still unconscious. We’ll have to wait.”

Jean exhaled softly in relief.

No immediate danger… That was enough to ease her heart for now,

“Wait, Jean’s brow furrowed sharply. “Do you guys think that this ‘accident‘ was actually Matheo’s doing?”

Easton nodded, his features dark. “The driver died on the scene, so there’s no direct testimony. But we found out where he lived and traced his recent activity. He met with one of Matheo’s assistants not long ago.”

Jean gritted her teeth. “Then it has to be him. That bastard lowlife scumbag, I swear…”

She suddenly paused mid–rant, realizing she might have gone a bit too far in front of her brothers…..

She let out a sheepish laugh, sticking out her tongue. “I’m just… really angry.”

Easton laughed aloud. “Don’t worry. Feel free to curse him even worse.”

Jean lowered her gaze, rubbing her hair in embarrassment. But at the mention of Matheo, her expression grew stormy again. “We didn’t even make a move on him yet, and he dared to strike first, trying to kill Mom…”

The air instantly grew heavy and cold. The kind of stillness that falls just before a storm.

“By the way,” Winston finally broke the silence. He had been quiet this whole time, but now he pulled out a small white bag. “A nurse gave this to me. She said it was found in Mom’s hand at the crash site…”

Jean looked down instinctively, her gaze falling on the white bag.
