Deirdre opened her eyes with great effort to stop the tears and sorrow from rushing out of her. Brendan was supposed to know that the prison was the source of her agony. She had almost exhausted all her strength to forget the painful memories of that time. Yet, it was turned into a weapon to slander and hurt her. "I don't believe this, Brendan." She shifted herself on the ground with great difficulty and clutched the hem of Brendan's pants as she looked up. "I don't believe that you can be so merciless that you'd speak without considering the consequences… Say it again, say what you said earlier… again!"Brendan lowered his head to look at her. For some unknown reason, Deirdre's unyielding gaze triggered an ineffable feeling in him as if it had taken a cut on his heart.He felt like he did not want to say those words again, those words that infuriated her. Perhaps it was because he did not wish to make her lose her mind so quickly. That would not be fun anymore if that were t

The man recovered from his surprise. He did not have the courage to decide by himself, so he immediately pulled out his phone to dial Brendan's number.The call was only picked up after a while. Brendan's cold voice could be heard easily due to the morgue's spacious room."Didn't I tell you not to call if it's not important?"The man appeared anxious. "Sir… Ms. McKinnon… She is bleeding!""Bleeding?" Brendan sounded hesitant for a brief moment. Soon, he was calm and said, "Is it another one of her self-torturing tricks?"Deirdre curled up on the ground from the pain and batted her eyelashes weakly upon hearing that.How did her relationship with Brendan turn into this? Did he have no trust for her at all?The man hastily answered, "No."He took a glance at Deirdre with a strange expression. "I assumed that she was pretending initially to draw pity on purpose as well. However, I saw with my own eyes that there is blood where she is kneeling… I believe that it is her… child…"Br

Emily feigned her disappointment soon. "Mr. Brighthall… Frankly, you still care about Ms. McKinnon in your heart, right? Something bad has happened to her, and you're actually so concerned…"Brendan shut his eyes anxiously and suppressed the agitation and restlessness he felt in his chest. He answered quickly, "I'm not concerned about her!"When Brendan noticed that it was hard to explain his anxiety, he pulled a long face and said, "She is sinful, but the child is innocent."Just like my father. If I had a choice, I wouldn't want him to be my father."Emily smiled. "So, it turns out that you're concerned about the child. You're right. Ms. McKinnon has committed crimes, but her child is innocent indeed. However, Mr. Brighthall… Are you planning on keeping the child?"You should know that Ms. McKinnon is the child's mother. Keeping the child means that you're keeping Ms. McKinnon…"Brendan's expression turned solemn. "So?"Even if I keep her, I won't allow her to gain any advanta

Brendan placed the item on the table. "Dinner, would you like some?"Naturally, Jet did not have the courage to answer 'yes'. Even if Brendan were to offer, he would not accept the offer. If he were to join Brendan for dinner, he would need to behave himself like a cowardly maiden. He would have to act cautiously and even have to hide his burp.Jet was surprised that Brendan would have his dinner there. If that were the case, it must mean that… Brendan would stay the night, right?Jet waved his hand and rejected the offer while he asked, "Shall I come over and switch with you later, sir?"Brendan raised his head in surprise. Jet felt his heart racing and braced himself as he said, "I… I'm worried that you might be too tired. I can stay and watch Deir— No, Ms. McKinnon overnight, so you can go home to rest."Brendan's expression was icy cold. "Does she need someone to watch her? You don't need to be bothered with her. As for me, I'll go home to rest when I'm tired."Jet nodded rep

"What is it?" Deirdre was extremely puzzled. Emily sounded so arrogant that Deirdre could not help feeling uneasy.Emily approached her step by step. "Brendan doesn't love you anymore."When you were fighting for your life in the operation theater yesterday, I was with Brendan. He told me in person that he cares about me now, and I'm the woman that he wants to marry."Deirdre's head was humming. She came to respond to the situation soon enough and said in a mocking tone, "Emily, you must know your limits even if you're just daydreaming. Everyone knows that Brendan's hatred toward you has already reached its max point. He would have dismembered you if I had not stopped him from cutting you up with great effort."I may be lying on the sick bed now, but it doesn't mean that my head is not working anymore. Do you think I'll fall for you blowing your own trumpet?"Emily expressed her embarrassment and anger.She felt especially embarrassed by Deirdre's contempt. However, she soon
