Chapter 1255The next day.At five o'clock in the morning, Kirsten came to the hospital.She was worried about Eileen.She was divorced, and her son was taken away. Now she was suffering from cancer, lying alone in the hospital bed. Who knew if she would do something stupid?However, when Kirsten pushed open the door to the ward, she froze.Eileen had woken up and looked quite well.She even greeted Kirsten with a smile."Why are you here so early?"Kirsten frowned. "Are you okay?"Eileen laughed self-deprecatingly. "Nothing worse can happen to me, right?""That son of a bitch! Has he allowed you to see Brad?" Kirsten asked.Eileen shook her head. "No."Kirsten panicked. "Don't do anything foolish!"Eileen curved her lips. "Don't worry. I promise I won't. I just came around all of a sudden.""What do you mean?""Brad will leave me sooner or later. Even if I'm very sad, I should learn to be used to living without him, and so should him."Besides, I have to stay in the h
Chapter 1256In the Bennington family's villa.Luke was sitting on the sofa, dealing with a pile of business documents in front of him.Brandy stood next to him, wanting to say something."What's the matter?"Luke stopped writing, looking at him.Brandy answered, "Mr. Bennington, since we took Brad back, he hasn't eaten anything.""He doesn't like the food here?" Luke asked indifferently."I think he misses Mrs. Bennington."Instantly, Luke's face turned cold as he said angrily, "Remember, don't mention that woman in this house.""Yes," Brandy nervously answered.He then added, "What about Brad?"Luke's brows were slightly knitted.After a long while, he replied, "Call Eileen and ask her what he likes to eat."Brandy thought, 'You forbid me to mention Mrs. Bennington, but you're doing that.'However, he didn't have the guts to say so.He then called Eileen and put her on speakerphone."Hello, Brandy, why are you calling? Is something wrong with Brad?" Eileen said in an
Chapter 1257The Bennington family's villa.Brandy asked the maid to cook some noodles and send them to the room upstairs.Half an hour later, the maid came down with the bowl.Brandy asked, "Has he eaten?"The maid shook her head. "No. You'd better go and have a look. He hasn't eaten anything for two days. He'll get ill if he continues like this."Brandy went upstairs to Brad's room.The little boy was sitting on the balcony, crying.He had never been separated from his mother before.Seeing his pitiful look, Brandy felt sad."Brad, we've cooked noodles for you. Would you like to eat some?"Brad shook his head. "No. I want Mom. I want to go home.""Alas..." Brandy let out a long sigh. "This is your home. Don't mention your mom anymore."Brad didn't say anything, turning around.He was very stubborn. No matter what Brandy said, he refused to eat.Brandy coaxed him for quite a while, his throat was dry but it was useless.He had no choice but to leave.Luke went to the
Chapter 1258"Brad, tell your dad what you want. It's useless to cry. It won't solve the problem. Be good," Brandy coaxed.This father and son had never lived together before.Doting parents treasured their kids. Yet Luke's parents had never doted on him. Luke's grandfather had been strict with him and cold to him since he was born.As a result, he educated Brad in the same way.There was no warmth in such a powerful and wealthy family. They were cold-hearted.Brad wiped his tears. "I want my mom. I want to eat porridge made by Mom. I want to go to my mom. I don't want to be here."As he saw the child begging pitifully, Brandy's heart ached.He pleaded with Luke, "Mr. Bennington, Brad is too young. What about sending him to Ms. Barton's place tonight? I can take him back tomorrow so that he has time to get used to the new home.""Why bother? Whether today or tomorrow, sooner or later, he has to adapt. Don't take him anywhere. Now, take him upstairs to bed."Luke said stonil
Chapter 1259As a leader, he tamed others and did not allow them to rebel.Then he left again.When Brandy came over, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.After entering the villa, he went straight to Brad's room.When he saw Brad's pale face and dried mouth, he was slightly taken aback and asked the servant. "Does little Bennington still not eat anything?"The servant nodded."What did Mr. Bennington say?"The servant answered truthfully. "Mr. Bennington doesn’t allow us to take care of little Bennington. He said that if little Bennington fainted, take him to the hospital."Brandy became speechless.This was what Mr. Bennington would do.Mr. Bennington was cruel and cold.He didn't care about Brad's threat at all. He just thought that if Brad refused to eat, he didn't feel hungry and if he refused to sleep, he didn't want to sleep.It could be said that Luke wanted to completely get rid of Brad's desire to see his mom.But Luke’s behavior was too cruel for Brad.
Chapter 1260Eileen suppressed her emotions. "I hear Brandy say that you refuse to eat anything."Brad said nothing."Brad, you promised me that you would be obedient."Brad spoke, "Mom, I miss you."Hearing this, Eileen almost cried. "Does this have anything to do with eating?""Dad doesn't like me and I don't like him either. I'm not used to living here." Brad's voice was particularly low."Brad, this is just the beginning. You have to get used to it slowly."Brad asked, "Mom, why don't you want me?"With a sharp pain in her heart, she slowly explained, "It's not that I don't want you, but that I can't afford to bring you up. Besides, you will have a better life with your dad. Brad, boys should learn to be strong and independent.""I don't need to have a better life, as long as I am with you. No matter how hard it is, I want to be with you." Brad's voice was firm.Eileen smiled, feeling sweet.Brad was the only sweetness she could feel in her painful life."Mom, you take
Chapter 1261Brandy panicked.‘How could Mr. Bennington come back at this time?’Brandy and Eileen were caught by Luke.Noting Brandy’s expression, Eileen stepped away and hid behind the flowers and plants nearby.It was kind of Brandy to allow her to come here so she couldn't cause trouble for Brandy.Soon, the car stopped.Luke got out of the car. He was wearing a suit, with a cold expression on his handsome face."Who was the woman next to you just now?"He asked directly.Brandy forced himself to calm down. "A servant.""Huh..." Luke sneered and he turned around. "Come out!"Nothing happened.Immediately, he snapped impatiently, "Come out by yourself. Don't let me take you out!"Slowly, Eileen walked out from behind the tree.Luke's sight fell on Brandy. "Did you let her in?"Brandy moved his lips slightly. Before he could speak, Eileen had already answered, "I came in by myself.""Are you allowed to come here?"She sneered and turned around to leave, ignoring him
Chapter 1262Luke recovered to his usual indifference and withdrew his hand."Since you’re awake, go to eat something. Threats are of no use to me." He said coldly, "No one can beat me by threatening me."Brad gritted his teeth with anger. "I hate you!"Luke raised his brows lightly. "I don't seem to want you to like me. For me, being liked is a very annoying thing."Brad's face flushed with anger.Luke continued, "Go to the dining room.""No!"Brad was very determined. "I would rather starve to death than eat something.""It seems that you have been more determined since you came here." Luke said lightly.Luke was very satisfied with such a change.Looking at the infusion bottle, he continued to speak. "Now, you have two choices. First, go to eat. Second, continue on hunger strike and then you will be sent to Athana by me.”In an instant, Brad became emotional. "I won't go to Athana!"Luke snorted coldly. "Do you think you have another choice? Tell me your answer."Brad
