Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 52 A Slim Chance of Survival
Brendan was willing to be a pillar for Deirdre to rely on. He wished for Deirdre to live a worry-free life until her last breath. But it seemed that Brendan’s wish would never be realized, as Deirdre was about to disappear from the world. It made him feel so much pain that he couldn’t breathe.The doctor could understand Brendan’s feelings as he said, “We’re helpless too. Her lungs are punctured, and the injury she’s suffered is truly severe. What’s more, the patient doesn’t have any desire to live. Unless…”Brendan’s eyes lit up when he heard that there was a slim chance to save Deirdre. “Unless what?”“Unless renowned academic doctor Dr. Killton is willing to step out. Unfortunately, he’s not in Neve currently, and even if he was, he has already stopped performing surgery.”It wasn’t a helpful answer. Brendan tightened his fists and asked coldly, “What about Dr. Killton’s last student?”“His last student?” The doctor was startled but quickly recollected himself and replied, “I

“Don’t be crazy. Her body is so weak now that I can only set my mind at ease by taking her with me!” Sterling spoke through clenched teeth and took a glance at Charlene. “You have a real fiancee, Charlene, anyhow, right? You should have had your fill now that you’ve ruined her in so many ways!”Brendan’s gaze turned ice-cold abruptly when he heard that remark. “Who are you taking with you? Deirdre is mine. She’s mine for life, and she will be buried in my family’s burial site when she dies. Sterling, don’t even think about showing off just because you saved her!”Upon saying that, Brendan cast a look at his bodyguard before he turned around to head to the intensive care unit, where Deirdre was kept. “Brend…” Charlene turned her wheelchair behind him. She had heard every part of the conversation. Her face was slightly pale, and she said in a piteous tone, “Since Ms. McKinnon’s condition has already been stabilized, will you take me home? The people who brought me here have already l

Deirdre stopped speaking and shut her eyes. Realizing that he was being too harsh, Brendan explained by saying, “There’s no point in comparing yourself to her.”Deirdre remained as quiet as before. Brendan stared at her dry, cracked lips and got up to fetch her a glass of water. “Don’t go to sleep yet. Drink the water before you rest.”Deirdre turned her face to the side. “I want to rest.”“Rest after drinking the water.” Brendan pushed the glass of water toward her by force. Deirdre refused to drink, and while she was struggling, the glass was knocked over and dropped to the ground, producing a loud noise. Brendan was completely infuriated. “Deirdre, why are you doing this? I ignored your suicide attempt without making any comments. In the past, I would have never let you off! You’re still ungrateful, even after all that. Are you only going to behave yourself when I force the drink down your throat!”The collar of her top was wet, and Deirdre’s lips were trembling. She was in

Brendan clenched his fists tightly and ran over to grab Sterling before punching his face ferociously. He was in an uncontrollable rage. “Sterling, are you trying to get yourself f*cking killed?! Did you think that you had a free pass for life just because I said that I’d let you off? Who let you in!”Sterling’s face stung from the punch yet he did not care about anything else. He shoved away Brendan abruptly and said, “Stop getting in the way!”It was an emergency, so he couldn't care less about quarreling with Brendan, yet Brendan was especially furious. “Stop getting in the way? Who are you asking to make way, huh? Who do you think you are? You would have already died a hundred times had Deirdre not threatened me with her life! Who do you think you are to throw a tantrum in my presence!”As he was speaking, the jacket of his suit was tugged by the woman on the bed. Brendan became even more infuriated. “Deirdre, are you trying to get yourself killed as well? Did I save you just so

He stood at the door as he watched Deirdre gulp down half a glass of water slowly, his expression icy. Sterling wiped away her sweat for her, and the sight of them moving in such harmony made Brendan clench his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white. He was agitated by how natural the ambiance between Deirdre and Sterling felt. It made him feel as if he was the outsider who had ruined their harmonious relationship!“How’s your throat?”Deirdre finished her drink while Sterling took the empty glass. Concerned, he asked, “Do you feel better? Has the pain eased up?”Deirdre licked her lips. Her throat had been burning earlier, yet the pain was relieved substantially after she drank half a glass of cold water. She nodded soon. “Much better.”She lowered her gaze and discovered that her voice was still hoarse. Every word she said was painful, yet she still made the effort to say, “Sterling, about your information being exposed online…”“You’re talking about that, huh? There

“You’ll have time.” Deirdre nodded. “However, I don’t have time to spend on you anymore.”She clenched her fists tightly. She felt her heart bleed with every word she said, yet there was nothing she could do. She had to sever her ties with Sterling completely in front of Brendan. Otherwise, this matter would never come to an end. “Plus, Brendan treats me well. I believe that this incident was just an accident and it won’t happen again in the future. I will be with him until he’s bored of me. You should leave.”“Dee! Why are you saying this against your will!”Brendan was very displeased. He grabbed Sterling by the collar. “What do you mean by 'against your will’?”He declared in a slightly arrogant tone, “Deirdre has loved me to the core from the start. She would walk in the rain for 20 kilometers just to see me in the past. You’re only the man that she latched on to when she couldn’t see. Don’t think too highly of yourself!”Upon saying that, he summoned Sam. “Please escort M

Deirdre said in a shaky voice, “Does anybody else loathe me as much as she does?”As soon as she made the remark, Brendan felt incredulous. “Deirdre, I think you might be experiencing the delusion of persecution! She’s a very kind person, so how could she possibly loathe you! Besides, she has never badmouthed you to me. Do you think she has a reason to put you in harm’s way?”‘A reason? Aren’t there always ample reasons for her to do so? It’s because I’m the one who saved Brendan. Because Charlene wants to shut me up for eternity to secure her place in Brendan’s heart!’Deirdre wanted to say this out loud yet she suppressed the urge to speak out. She thought about how foolish it was of her to have the audacity to suspect Charlene when Brendan’s love overpowered anything else. ‘Have I turned into a retard because my suicide attempt resulted in a brain injury?’She did not speak anymore, but she clenched her exposed fingers into tight fists. Brendan could not help furrowing his

“How did that happen?” Charlene kept her eyes lowered, a tinge of anger flashing past them. ‘That damned Sterling actually ruined my plan.’ Brendan stared closely at Charlene’s face and said, “The most crucial part is that I assigned Sam to take care of Deirdre initially, yet he was suddenly distracted by someone. On the other hand, the distraction method involved a text message sent to Sam via my phone. My phone was in the office at the time, and you are the only person who was here.”“Brendan, you… What are you trying to imply?” Charlene’s face turned ghastly pale instantly. “Are you implying that I put Ms. McKinnon in harm’s way?”Brendan’s fists tightened, but there was no excessive change in his expression. He continued staring at Charlene closely. “I only need to give an answer to Deirdre. She lost her sight in jail, so there would be nothing left of her if she were to lose her voice too.”“So you’re suspecting that I did it?” Charlene’s eyes reddened with tears. “Yes, I did

"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.

"As long as you're here… That's enough…"Deirdre hugged him tightly, and Brendan approached, wrapping them both in his embrace.When they brought S
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1572 The Parkers is Entrusted to You
"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
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1571 Revenge and Redemption
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.-
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1570 The Evidence to Turn the Tables
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
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1569 Back to Village Alnwick
"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
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1567 The Key
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
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1566 Something From Mother
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
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1565 He's His Child
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?" Deirdre forced herself to calm
