The Remorseful Brothers Novel

Chapter 45

Madeline looked at the sky.

Winslet smiled coldly. “Are you afraid that it will rain tonight? It won’t. You won’t win even if you stare at the sky. You were humiliating yourself when you bet on this with me.”

Madeline did not care about the result of the bet.

She was only messing with Winslet.

The wind was getting stronger.

Harley was a little worried. “Henry, will it rain?”

“I don’t think so. I just asked the person in charge. It will not rain tonight.” Henry rowed the oar absent–mindedly.

Benjamin and Lucas sat together.

They stared at Winslet’s inflatable boat and rowed in that direction.

“Winnie.” Lucas deliberately splashed some water.

“Lucas, what are you doing? Let’s see if you dare to bully me.” Winslet pouted and splashed Lucas until the latter was soaked.

Benjamin glanced at Winslet and fixed his eyes on Madeline.

Madeline leaned over and looked extremely aloof.

It turned out that Madeline appeared quite alienated when she was not following Benjamin around.

The two inflatable boats were almost together.

Benjamin leaned against Winslet and said, “It looks like you had a good time. Let’s go together again next time. Anyway, I’m also at Acocester University. I heard that there are many interesting places near Acocester University.”

Winslet glanced at him. “Let me ask you a question.”

Benjamin nodded.

“If I fell into the water with Maddie, who would you choose to save?”

Benjamin hardly thought about it. “Of course, I’ll save you. Even if it was instinctively, my body would choose to save you.”

When she heard that, Winslet was relieved.

“Why did you suddenly think of asking this?”

Winslet waved her hand. “Isn’t this a topic on the Internet? You’re slow. Benjamin, are you a nerd?”

Meanwhile, Lucas was indifferent to Madeline.

He slapped the water with his oars and seemed to be a little impatient.

The noise of the wind gradually became louder.

Madeline looked at the dark clouds gathered in the sky.

M.

She suddenly smiled and said, “Do you know why I know that you’re bad at playing games?”

Lucas looked unhappy. “You’d better not make me throw you into the water.”

Madeline smiled with a hint of ridicule in her eyes. “Aren’t you curious? Why did someone help you when you were laughed at for playing games eight months ago? Why would someone know your predicament by chance?”

Lucas sat up straight and looked a little, serious.

He was completely different from his usual carefree self.

He looked at Madeline silently. “Why?”

Although he asked so, he already had an answer in his heart. He was only in disbelief.

No two people in the world had similar voices that were almost identical.

Whenever Lynn was broadcasting, Madeline would happen to be out.

“Because that’s my alternate account,” said Madeline.

Lucas suddenly sneered. “Are you kidding me? Do you think I’ll believe your words? Who are you? You must be secretly watching me play games. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll expose you when you lie about that?”

Madeline tilted her head. “I don’t expect you to believe me. After all, I’m just a country bumpkin in your heart who hasn’t even used the computer.”

Then, she seemed to sigh. “Then, take it as a joke.”

Lucas was silent for a while.

He was so excited and felt a cold sweat on his back.

He could not believe it at all.

Lucas thought, “The Madeline I ignore and bully every day is actually Lynn? It’s impossible!”

Lucas looked extremely serious. “What is the most common thing she says when I play games with her?”

“You’re good at this. Stop playing the game next time,” replied Madeline.

Lucas gripped the oar tightly and tensed up. He frowned and fixed his eyes on Madeline.

His mind went blank.

His heartbeat was faster than before.

At that moment, he had forgotten to breathe and did not know why he was not suffocated.

“No way.”

Madeline suddenly smiled and rowed further into the reservoir with her oars.

Lucas‘ gaze followed her subconsciously.

Suddenly, he shouted, “It’s impossible! You’re lying to me!”

Winslet was a little confused. “What did you just say to Lucas? Why did he make such a big reaction?”

Chapter 45

“Nothing. There’s something terrible that I didn’t tell you.” Madeline looked at the sky.

Winslet suddenly felt a little uneasy. “What’s that?”

“In fact, I can swim. I can swim very well.”

Winslet was stunned and became agitated. “So you’re messing with me, aren’t you? Aren’t you the best at acting?”

Madeline took a breath above the water’s surface and appeared relaxed unprecedentedly.

“It’s about to start soon…”

Winslet commented, “I guess you don’t have the heart to act this time.” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Clap!

A scary noise sounded in the sky.

A thunderbolt lit up the sky as brightly as daylight.

It was as if a silver snake danced in the dark clouds.

The thunder echoed in the layer of clouds, making people’s eardrums tremble.

Winslet trembled. “Will it really rain?”

The humid wind swept through.

Pitter–patter!

Instantly, the weather changed.

Winslet turned gloomy. “Stop messing around. Hurry up and row to the shore. I won’t bet with you today. If the ship really capsizes in this weather, we’ll die!”

“Do you think I want to live?” asked Madeline.

The strong wind blew Winslet’s hair into a mess.

Her clothes also rustled in the wind.

Winslet noticed Madeline was not scared at all. The former’s face instantly turned pale. “So you dragged me here today to die with me? You’ve lost your mind!“

Winslet wanted to ask the Larson brothers for help.

However, it was too late.

It was already raining.

The heavy rain poured down and blocked their sight.

Winslet waved at the Larson brothers but did not get any response.

The inflatable boat soon collected a lot of rainwater.

The reservoir was already deep. At that moment, the waves surged and hit the inflatable boat.

It emphasized how small they were in the heavy rain.

Winslet tried her best to row the inflatable boat with the oars, but the waves were so turbulent that she could not get far.

Another wave hit her back to the original place, even further away from the shore.

She was desperate.

“Madeline, you’re a troublemaker. I’m going to die because of you today!”

Madeline’s expression was extremely cold and calm in the rain. “I thought you were not afraid of death. It turns out you’re actually scared.”

Winslet naturally knew what Madeline meant.

The situation was different last time.

Winslet was sure that she would not hurt herself before she rolled down the stairs.

Winslet could not swim. Even if she could swim, it was impossible for her to swim in such a critical situation.

Winslet said, “We can only wait for everyone to save us.”

Madeline shook her head. “Look, the ship over there has capsized. No one can come to save us.”

The other three inflatable boats had capsized.

Several people were struggling desperately on the water.

Only Winslet’s boat had not capsized yet.

Winslet trembled with fear. “The lifeguard… There’s a lifeguard…

Madeline raised her eyebrows. “Didn’t the lifeguard just say that he’ll come here after going to the restroom?”

Hearing that, Winslet was completely desperate.

She looked at Madeline with resentment. “So you want to swim on your own? Madeline, if I die, Dad and Mom will hate you for the rest of their life! My brothers will always remember that you killed me!”
