All Chapters of DIVORCED, BUT SPOILED BY MY FIVE BROTHERS : Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

Chapter 172 Janet's POV It had been two days since Mom left for Switzerland with Kyle. Two days, and I still hadn't figured out how to feel about it. Everything had happened so fast. One minute I was sitting beside her hospital bed telling her the truth about my marriage, and the next Kyle was booking flights, arranging transfers, packing her medication into a labelled case like he'd done it a hundred times before. Maybe he had. He didn't let me worry about a single thing. He just handled it. And then she was gone. I missed her already. That was the strange part. I'd spent months missing her while she lay in a coma, and now that she was awake and talking and laughing at scarves, I'd sent her to another country. My chest ached every time I thought about it. But underneath the ache, there was something else. Relief. She was safe. Kyle was with her. And I didn't have to wake up in Rowan's house one more morning pretending to be a happy wife. The moment her flight left, I wanted

Chapter 174 Janet's Point of View At the hospital, I collected Elena's medication first. Then I took the lift to the third floor and gave my name at the reception desk of the obstetrics wing and sat in a plastic chair with the pharmacy bag on my lap and my heart beating too fast. The doctor was kind. She didn't lecture me about the missed appointments, though I could tell she wanted to. She just got on with it. The cold gel. The wand pressing against my skin. The screen. And then the sound. Fast. Steady. Strong. "There we go," she said softly. "Everything looks good. Growing right on schedule." I let out a breath I felt like I'd been holding for two weeks. My eyes filled before I could stop them. "You need more rest," the doctor said, wiping the gel away. "Better food. And less stress." I almost laughed at the last one. Less stress. As if stress was something, I could just decline politely at the door. "I'll try," I said. When I walked out of the examination room, my hand w

Chapter 176 Rowan's point of view I'd spent days thinking about her. Days picking up my phone and putting it down. Days replaying Dickson's voice and Jasper's face and the curtain upstairs that twitched once and went still. And now she was here. Ten feet away. I didn't move. Then she turned. Our eyes met. She didn't smile. Not even a little. Her face didn't change at all. She just looked at me like I was a stranger who'd walked into the wrong corridor. I made my legs move. "What are you doing here?" "Grandmother collapsed at my clinic." The words didn't land properly. "She—what?" "She came looking for me. She fainted on the steps before she got inside." Janet's voice was flat and cold and completely steady. "I rode with her in the ambulance. I've been here two hours." I opened my mouth. Nothing came out. "Whatever you've been busy with, Rowan—" she stopped, and something sharp flickered in her eyes, "—you need to start paying attention to her. She should never have been

Chapter 178 Rowan's point of view I felt Janet look at me. I didn't look back. But I felt it, the way you feel sunlight on the side of your face. She didn't say thank you. She didn't say anything. But something registered, and I knew it had. "You are taking her side now. Aren't you?" My mother said as her face grow more pale. Living with her for many years, my mother hardly accepted defects. Especially when it came from some whom she sees beneath her. Flora stepped forward. "Everyone's worried about Grandma," she said, in the voice she used when she wanted to sound like the only reasonable person in the room. "Emotions are high. But Janet, you did speak disrespectfully—" Janet turned to her. "I don't need another person explaining how I should react when someone tries to slap me." "I'm only trying to calm things down. Janet, no one is attacking you here, and besides, Mrs. caroline is your elder. You can't just treat your elders like that." "Are you trying to say i should hav

Chapter 180 Janet’s first pov My mouth tinted a bit as I looked down as if I'm the one grandma was scolding. For three years, I have been in Thayer's family. Caroline hasn't been talked to like this by anyone . Caroline had always walked through that house like she'd been born in it. Like the marble was her blood. And now here was Grandma telling me she'd arrived from somewhere smaller, somewhere less, and had been handed everything she was now so determined to deny me. Caroline said nothing. For once in her life, she had nothing to say. Grandma turned back to me. Her grip on my hand tightened. "As far as I'm concerned," she said, "you have as much right to stand in this hospital as she does. Nobody chases you out. Nobody tells you where you belong." She looked up at me, and her eyes were wet. "You're not family because you married Rowan. You're family because you're the daughter I never had." I couldn't breathe for a second. My whole life, I'd been losing families. My father,
