Wings of Broken Time by Alina Das 368
His grandfather wasn’t giving them a single cent of the Judson fortune. And it was all because they had been deceived by Honors, because they had abandoned his sister, Larissa,
And now, the architect of their downfall was standing right here, feigning concern. The hypocrisy was nauseating
Leopold tried to scream at her, but his voice came out as a hoarse, garbled mess. “Honora… you…”
Finley, who had started walking toward them, froze when he saw the look of pure loathing on his brother’s face. Why would Leopold look at Honora like that the moment he woke up? He suddenly remembered what Larissa had told him–that Leopold’s mind had been awake the whole time. And who had been by his side at the hospital? His mother… and Honora.
Had something happened while Honora was “caring” for him?
“Mom…” Leopold’s voice trembled with urgency. He looked at his mother, who was lost in her own grief. “Help… help me… up!”
Vivica snapped back to reality. “Of course!”
She carefully took his arms and helped him sit up.
The effort was immense, and Leopold slumped back against the sofa, catching his breath. “Mom… a glass of water… I’m so thirsty…”
Vivica started to get up, but Finley stepped in. “I’ll get it, Mom.”
He swallowed his questions, shot a quick glance at Larissa, and hurried to the water cooler. Honora turned and reached for the glass as he returned. “I’ll give it to him. He’s just woken up, he must still
be weak…”
“No,” Leopold cut her off sharply. “I’ll do it myself.”
Honora froze, slowly retracting her hand.
Finley looked from Honora to Leopold, then walked past her and handed the glass directly to his brother. Leopold took it and drank greedily.
“Leopold, slow down, slow down…” Vivica fretted.
After draining the glass, Leopold felt some of his strength return. He handed Vivica the empty cup.
Vivica asked, “Do you want something to eat?”
He cleared his throat, his voice finally steadier. “No, Mom. There’s something important I need to tell you all.”
Honora grew tense and took a step back.
“Something important?” Vivica set the cup down. “Is it about the car crash? Did that wretched girl Larissa try to harm you? Is that why you tampered with her brakes, to protect yourself?”
“No, Mom,” Leopold interrupted. “Just… don’t talk. Listen to me.”

Chapter 368
Vivica fell silent. “Okay, Leopold. I’m listening. It’s been so long since I’ve heard your voice.”
Leopold turned to Larissa, his eyes filled with guilt. “Sis…”
The word sent a shockwave through the room. Paxton, Vivica, and Finley all stared at him in disbelief.
“Leopold, what’s wrong with you?” Vivica couldn’t help herself. “Did the crash damage your brain? Have you forgotten we disowned that girl? Why are you calling the person who did this to you ‘sis‘?”
Honora now knew for certain: Leopold hated her.
Leopold’s gaze remained fixed on Larissa’s impassive face. He shook his head, his voice choked with regret. “No, Mom, I was wrong. We were all wrong… We were deceived by Honora.”
