"You can see how important I am to Brendan, so how could I not be aware? I should… give him some time," said Deirdre.

Mrs. Wanner's eyes lit up when she heard that. "Exactly! I suspect that Mr. Brighthall simply doesn't understand liking someone. If he really cared about Emily Collins, he would have gone to see her long ago. But I have never heard him mention her name in the past few days," she explained.

Deirdre bit her lip and walked forward. Just as she entered the villa, she collided with Brendan, who was hurrying and seemed to be searching for something.

It was only when he saw Deirdre that the tension in his face relaxed.

"Mr. Brighthall? Where are you going?" Mrs. Wanner asked in surprise.

Brendan's gaze was fixed firmly on Deirdre's face. He opened his mouth as if to speak but ultimately gave up and averted his eyes.

"Just going out for a bit," he replied.

Mrs. Wanner hoped that Brendan would say he would find Deirdre, but his response left her slightly embarrassed.

    After speaking, Brendan's face turned pale, and his brows furrowed in intense pain.Deirdre was instantly shaken to the core.Brendan might not be aware, but she knew that he had been hypnotized and influenced by the hypnotic suggestions.It was already incredibly difficult for him to sort out his own thoughts, and now he wanted to make a choice.Deirdre's eyes welled up with bitterness. She lunged toward Brendan and embraced him, sobbing and choking with tears."Brendan... Brendan..." she repeated his name while quietly apologizing in her heart.It was all her fault. She had trusted a wolf to watch over the sheep, allowing Brendan to drink the medicine without hesitation, ultimately harming his once-healthy physique.And now, he was even more deeply trapped in the torment of hypnotic suggestions, yet he still mustered all his mental strength to stand in front of her.Brendan was taken aback for a moment, then closed his eyes and embraced her. "I'm here."Deirdre, I don't know

    "Okay," Deirdre replied, her eyes filled with moved tears.Brendan looked at her with a pained expression, his brows furrowing. "Did I ever say that I don't want to see you cry? It hurts my heart. Deirdre, never cry again. I won't let you cry again."Deirdre's fingertips trembled, and her throat felt constricted, but her heart was filled with joy. "Yes, you did. How could you have never said it... You said you would never let me cry.""But I haven't kept my promise." Brendan frowned, his fingers gently wiping away the tears from Deirdre's face. "You've cried several times, and it's my fault.""No, as long as you have me in your heart, that's enough," Deirdre replied, shedding tears of happiness.The two of them spent a long time outside until Mrs. Wanner smiled and coughed as she approached them. "Mr. Brighthall, it's getting colder. With Ms. McKinnon's health, it is not good for her to stay outside any longer. It's better to go inside as soon as possible. Also, the soup I stewe

    "Okay." Brendan nodded eagerly.Deirdre packed up the food and placed it in Brendan's briefcase. Then, she saw him leave.Mrs. Wanner brought in the freshly dried clothes and witnessed the scene. "Ms. McKinnon, you're so good to Mr. Brighthall. You've been personally preparing meals for him these few days. Are you worried that the cafeteria food at his company won't suit his taste?" she asked with a smile.Deirdre smiled, but her answer wasn't that simple.The fact that someone could track her meant that the group had already planted many spies around her. She had them, and so did Brendan.In order to ensure the continuity of the hypnosis, they wouldn't let Brendan recover his health. They might even continue drugging him.She couldn't see with her eyes, nor could she constantly monitor Brendan's activities at the company. All she could do was prevent him from eating at the office.Of course, Mrs. Wanner couldn't have known about this. "The two of you have such a tumultuous rela

    In response to this, Emily could only sneer and gaze at Mrs. Wanner with a profound meaning."Ms. McKinnon, you have quite the ability to make so many servants remain loyal to you. And it reminds me of the previous one. I think she was called Mrs. Engel. Her fate... Tsk, tsk. And now, this Mrs. Wanner, I wonder what fate awaits her?" commented Emily.Deirdre's face suddenly turned pale, and a surge of hatred welled up within her. But she restrained herself, unwilling to give Emily the opportunity to play the victim before Brendan."I don't know what fate awaits others, but I'm certain that someone as malicious as you will face retribution sooner or later," said Deirdre.Emily laughed audaciously. "Then I'll take your words as a good omen."Deirdre clenched her fists tightly while Emily tilted her head and called out, "Mr. Brighthall? Mr. Brighthall, are you here?"Deirdre couldn't bear to watch any longer. "Are you done acting? I don't believe you don't know that Brendan has alre

    "Brendan's emotions are so unpredictable. I'm afraid that if I tell him about this, he will suspect you and... even kill you!" said Deirdre.Emily suddenly stepped back, her face pale and her mind filled with shock. Did Deirdre know? Did she know about their plan? Did that mean...Emily's thoughts were in turmoil as she desperately denied, "Deirdre McKinnon, stop talking nonsense. You just can't accept that Mr. Brighthall likes me, so you came up with this absurd story... How naive..."Deirdre remained silent, her piercing gaze fixed on Emily, intensifying the pressure in the air."Deirdre, I warn you, stop talking nonsense. This matter is not over between us!" Emily hurriedly uttered these words, almost stumbling in her high heels as she quickly left.Mrs. Wanner observed Emily's anxious figure, feeling puzzled and unable to comprehend what had transpired. Hypnosis was still a fantastical and intangible concept for her."Ms. McKinnon, why did Ms. Collins leave in such a hurry, a

    Ryker pulled up his pants, and an image of a person flashed through his mind."There is indeed one," he said."Who!?" Emily asked anxiously."Sterling. He was in the same research institute as me. Although he joined after I left, he managed to win the favor of that old man. It wouldn't be surprising that the old man told him about my ability to hypnotize…" Ryker replied as he squinted."But isn't Sterling imprisoned because of your connections? How could he have time to contact Deirdre?" Emily said as her face turned pale.Ryker flicked away the cigarette butt. "I reckon they had discussions back in Eastgene.""What do we do now?" Emily was anxious. "Now that Deirdre knows about the hypnosis, Brendan might soon come out of the hypnotic state, right!?"Ryker sneered. "What do you think hypnosis is? Cabbage left on the street? Is hypnosis that easy to be deciphered?"He then added with confidence, "My hypnosis program is complex, and unraveling it is extremely difficult. If we at

    Deirdre nodded with a pained expression. "Okay, we'll leave tomorrow." She made a call to Tobey to make arrangements while Brendan took care of his work. In the evening, he embraced Deirdre as they drifted off to sleep."Can you sleep without the incense?" asked Deirdre."I'm trying. It has consumed too much of me. I don't know why I got entangled with something as poisonous as that. I want to quit," Brendan replied as he closed his eyes.Naturally, memories associated with the incense were also tampered with. Deirdre didn't tell Brendan that it was all Emily's idea because it would shatter his inner world. "You don't have to quit and don't worry about finding a way to quit. I'll find a solution for you later, so you can fall asleep without relying on the incense," she said.A sense of melancholy clouded Deirdre's eyes. She didn't even know if Sterling was doing well in Germia. She felt guilty for dragging him into this mess and could only hope that Declan would find him and

    "I believe Brendan has experienced quite a lot of stimulation regarding his memories, hasn't he? Have his headaches been getting worse, to the point where he's almost unable to stay conscious? Do you think this is a good sign?"Deirdre's face turned pale because the man had accurately described everything. She trembled and struggled simultaneously to maintain her voice as she asked, "What are you trying to say?""I am kindly reminding you that a hypnotized person cannot handle such stimulation. You can only hope that one day he will voluntarily regain his memories. If he recovers certain fragments under external stimulation, all his memories will clash."After the clash, the resulting consequences are not something an ordinary person can endure. He might turn into a dumb fool or a completely irrational madman. It all depends on luck, but I believe that you wouldn't want either of those outcomes, right?" replied Ryker.Deirdre's lips turned white suddenly, and as she held tight to h

    "Where is she?"Brendan stared at him, utterly surprised. Sean's voice trembled a bit, but his eyes held a clear and hopeful gaze.Brendan finally calmed down and looked behind him. "There, that's your mother."This was the first time Sean had spoken. Deirdre felt her mind buzzing. When she snapped back to reality, she extended her hand. "Sean, come here."Sean's eyes held gentle amazement. He was intelligent—perhaps he had sensed it on the way there. Thus, his feelings were a blend of happiness and satisfaction.He felt joy that Deirdre was going to be his mother.Being a kid, he took a few steps but couldn't stop his tears, holding onto Deirdre firmly.Deirdre suppressed her own urge to cry and crouched down, wiping away his tears.

    "I was too young back then, still sulking with my father," Brendan replied after recalling his childhood.Arthur chuckled. "Kids will be kids, after all. Besides, your father was an excellent businessman, and you've followed in his footsteps. I've heard about your impressive success with the business in Neve. You're truly talented. With the Parkers under your control, I can finally relax." Brendan thought it was just praise from an elder. He was about to give a humble response when he got surprised by the rest of the statement. This made him freeze in place."The Parkers?" Deirdre was equally surprised."What's wrong?" Arthur beamed. "Don't you both already have children? Although you've divorced, your relationship is still strong. Don't tell me there's no thought of remarriage?""Remarriage? It's not the right time yet." Deirdre blushed from the teasing."It'll come eventually. If that's the case, then you are both part of the Parkers now. You're my only daughter, and he's my s

    Beneath the envelope lay the evidence. Deirdre stared at it for a long time, with Brendan by her side, offering silent support.The next day, they boarded a plane back to Southedge. Within three days, news of the top political figure's downfall due to corruption spread like wildfire throughout Southedge, even captivating the interest of other cities.Upon learning the full story in his study, Arthur's aging face was stained with tears of regret. "If only I had known sooner... I wouldn't have let your mother leave like that."Deirdre lowered her gaze and handed the letter to Arthur. "My mother explains in the letter that her departure was a voluntary sacrifice to protect everyone. She never blamed you."Arthur gazed at the letter, struggling to find the right words.Deirdre left silently, shutting the door.-Ryker was also brought to the police station. Under Sterling's methods, he confessed to the murders. Emily faced the same outcome.All of them waited for their trials.-

    The distance from Southedge to Village Alnwick was immense, yet Brendan displayed unwavering resolve."Then let's depart today," he said.As Deirdre bid farewell to Arthur, an unexpected glimmer of sadness flickered in his eyes. "Visiting your mother's grave, huh? Okay, go ahead. Take care of yourself, don't overexert.""Yes," Deirdre replied. Faced with Arthur's hesitant gaze, she felt compelled to add, "Dad, I'll be back."Arthur met Deirdre's gaze, hope rekindling in his eyes.Deirdre softly sighed. "You're my father, my family. Of course, I'll return." "Really? You mean it?" Arthur's excitement made his hands tremble slightly. He held onto Deirdre as if wanting to convey something, but all that emerged was a murmur, "Then please return early... Come back as soon as you can...""Sure. I have a friend coming over later today. Take care of him. Oh, and my boyfriend is here, too. Don't worry about the specifics. I'll explain everything upon my return."As she stepped out, Bren

    "Brendan Brighthall?" Ryker wiped away his own nosebleed. "How did you manage to come from Neve? Didn't I ask Emily to keep an eye on you? That useless fool who can't even accomplish simple tasks.""Choosing to control minds with drugs all along, you should have anticipated this outcome." Brendan acted roughly. As he got up, he took the key from Ryker and placed Ryker on a chair.Deirdre clenched Brendan's sleeve tightly. Sensing her tension, Brendan embraced her to calm her down."It's okay. I'm sorry for coming back so late, making you go through this.""It's not your fault. Your timely arrival saved me from further trouble. It's my own foolishness... I let him find something to use against me," Deirdre said, shaking her head weakly.Brendan frowned, cupping Deirdre's face. "He wasn't someone easily deceived, to begin with. You've done well. I'm the one who brought you into this danger, which is unforgivable."Brendan's dark eyes were filled with intense emotions. He had arrive

    Deirdre hugged Ryker, resting her head on his chest as he patted her back. "By the way, you're not curious about where I went after I left early this morning?"Deirdre realized the hidden meaning behind Ryker's words, retreated from Ryker's embrace little by little, and looked at him.Ryker's eyes, as enigmatic as ever, held a clarity that seemed to pierce through everything. "I went to the hospital."He didn't wait for Deirdre to respond. "Because I was curious why I was so sleepy last night for no reason. Any ordinary person might chalk it up to exhaustion. But I know my body too well. You drugged me."Deirdre felt a sudden chill running down her spine.Ryker took a step forward casually, but his eyes were full of killing intent. "I underestimated you, Deirdre. Your acting skills are far more impressive than I imagined. You nearly had me fooled. You deserve an Oscar. What a pity that you're now in my hands."Deirdre retreated abruptly, but she found a cold wall barring her esca

    Deirdre was momentarily stunned as she watched Arthur search around the study. Eventually, he uncovered a rusty key from a drawer.Arthur raised the key. "Is this what your mother desired?"Deirdre's mind raced, thoughts swirling. "Is this from my mother?"A hint of disappointment shadowed Arthur's eyes as he nodded. "This is the only thing she left me before she departed. She didn't explain why. She just made me promise to keep this key and never search for her."Although I agreed, the thought of it weighed heavily on me. So, I hid the key in a corner of the drawer instead of treating it like any other possession. In hindsight, I shouldn't have made that promise. I shouldn't have let her go alone."Deirdre's voice wavered, confusion evident. But as realization dawned, her heart raced. "Can you give me the key?"Arthur earnestly nodded, his expression solemn. "This belongs to your mother. I'm willing to give it to you whenever you're ready. To be honest, I'm relieved to pass it o

    The butler nodded and guided Deirdre to the study's door. Gathering her emotions, she pushed it open.Arthur's attention was on some documents, but the door's creak made him look up. He met Deirdre's gaze, causing a subtle flicker of surprise and uncertainty in his eyes."Deirdre..." He set aside the file. "Did you just wake up? Hungry? I'll have the kitchen prepare something."Deirdre shook her head, closing the door gently."Not hungry. I came to talk.""Everything okay?" Concern colored Arthur's expression. Though he seemed worried she might leave, he tried to hide it. "Go ahead. I'm with you."Deirdre found his reaction slightly amusing. "I'm not leaving."A spark returned to Arthur's eyes. "Then what's up?"As Deirdre grew more serious, she said, "I came to Southedge not just for a visit. I want to know if my mother left something with you before she passed. Something significant.""Left something?" Arthur was puzzled. "She left several things. Which one do you mean?"De

    Brendan's eyes held a hint of pity as he spoke hesitantly. "Your mother took that item away."He gently touched Deirdre's face. "That man kidnapped your mother years ago. I don't know what happened during that time. Maybe he hurt your mother and wanted to keep her forcibly. Eventually, your mother found a chance to escape back to your father with the man's item."She left suddenly while pregnant with you, not out of hatred for your father, but to protect you. Now, that person is unsure if your mother or Arthur has the item. Thus, he aimed to kidnap both you and your father, taking his time to retrieve them."Deirdre's mind was overwhelmed, flooded with information that threatened to drown her. This unexpected revelation left her in disbelief.'My mother left my father because of me? And the mastermind behind Ryker is responsible for my mother's kidnapping?'"So that item holds significant importance for this person, enough to bring him down, right?"
