Chapter 1481 Losing the Qualification of Being A Father

The family doctor went upstairs, followed by Frances, but Deirdre stopped her. "You don't need to come up! Just wait downstairs.""Ms. McKinnon, since your eyesight is not good and the doctor needs to take care of Mr. Brighthall, I can be of great help by staying by your side," Frances offered.Deirdre was aware of Frances' potential assistance, but Brendan's unique condition made her cautious. Frances could be a spy for Ryker, so Deirdre couldn't reveal the truth."It's not a big issue. I'll manage alone in the room. You can go downstairs and make some tea. I'll come down and have it later," Deirdre replied firmly.With that, Deirdre entered the room with the family doctor and closed the door.The family doctor was stunned when he saw Brendan lying unconscious on the carpet, blood on the back of his neck."He was drugged! I'm pregnant, and if I didn't knock him out, something bad would have happened!" Deirdre explained.The family doctor snapped out of his daze, realizing that

Chapter 1482 Termination of Cooperation

"Mhmm." Deirdre replied quickly, "He's much better now. The fever has subsided.""That's good," said the family doctor, pointing to the prescription. "I've prescribed some medicine for Mr. Brighthall. Boil it for him tomorrow morning. As for the wounds on his arm and the back of his neck, I'll come by later to re-dress them.""Alright, thank you," nodded Deirdre.The family doctor didn't linger for long as it was late and quickly left with his medicinal kit.Before heading back upstairs to her room, Deirdre instructed Frances.Closing the door behind her, she felt an intense ache in her lower back, making it difficult to stand up straight. Her face displayed a complex expression as certain images flashed through her mind—shame and uneasiness made it hard for her to lift her head.Fortunately, today's incident had finally come to an end. Deirdre cleaned herself up in the bathroom and lay in bed, contemplating how she would explain everything to Brendan the next day.However, Bren

Chapter 1483 Secret Passage in the Study

"I admit I didn't consider that aspect thoroughly," Ryker replied casually as if the idea had occurred to him on a whim. "It was sudden, and I thought it would be the most convenient and efficient way, so I acted impulsively."Deirdre didn't look pleased. "Even if it was impulsive, you're still a doctor.""Yes, that's why I'll wholeheartedly face this collaboration with Ms. McKinnon," Ryker said sincerely. "For instance, I'll answer one question for you."Deirdre held her breath. The truth was within reach now."I believe you have many questions in your mind. I can give you an opportunity to have your doubts answered." Ryker smiled with interest.Deirdre clenched her palm. The answer seemed urgent, but she hesitated."I'll give you one chance, Ms. McKinnon. But certain private and confidential topics won't be disclosed," Ryker warned.Deirdre's gaze darkened. "You said you want something from Brendan, but I've never heard of your group. You're not from Neve, right? Where are you

Chapter 1484 The Secret Passage

Deirdre took a deep breath and held her head high with effort. "Isn't this normal? Ever since I married Brendan, I've been nothing but a joke. He doesn't love me. He sees me as a substitute, and maybe we developed genuine feelings along the way, but—""But he has forgotten about that connection," Ryker replied, smiling.Deirdre clenched her fists. "Yes.""I never expected your emotions to be so turbulent. I apologize. I didn't intend for it to be this way. Alas, to achieve my goals, I must proceed like this," Ryker said, showing no remorse.Deirdre lowered her head. "You don't have to make yourself sound righteous. And even if you did, what can I do to you, especially when you specifically aimed to destroy this relationship?""It's not the same," Ryker said firmly. "Deep down, I genuinely respect you. In fact, this is also a good thing for you. After all, Brendan is not worthy of you."The last sentence left Deirdre stunned. Brendan was not worthy of her?She couldn't understand

Chapter 1485 He Figured It Out

It was difficult to imagine that a study, typically lacking heavy security, could hide a secret passage. Deirdre couldn't help but wonder what could be concealed within and what the intentions were. Her curiosity was genuine.If Brendan weren't currently hypnotized, she would have wanted to discuss the secret passage with him and devise countermeasures to catch Ryker off guard. The thought crossed her mind, causing a momentary hesitation.Considering Brendan's reaction yesterday, perhaps he wasn't truly hypnotized after all. The possibility excited her, causing her hands to tremble.Suddenly, a voice echoed from the entrance, startling Deirdre. She had been facing the hidden password lock behind the wallpaper, but fortunately, she was no longer touching it. She swiftly turned around to face Brendan, who approached her suspiciously."Why are you in my study?" Brendan's voice carried a note of caution, and Deirdre nervously moistened her lips, quickly coming up with an excuse."I wa

Chapter 1486 He Forgot

Deirdre's eyes lit up as she exclaimed, "Meaning? Exactly! If Emily hadn't underestimated you, there would be no reason for you to bring me here and protect me. Just this alone, can't it prove that you weren't hypnotized? Brendan, how much longer do you plan to deceive me? Do you really see me as that fragile, that helpless, in need of your protection?"Confusion crossed Brendan's face as he shrugged off Deirdre's outstretched hand."Deirdre, even if you're going crazy, there should be a limit. If you keep saying things I don't understand, then leave this villa and go to the hospital!"Deirdre was momentarily stunned. "Last night... Last night, you—""Last night? What happened last night?" Brendan interrupted, puzzled.Deirdre froze upon hearing Brendan's question."Last night, I clearly went to sleep early. Are you referring to the injuries on my arm and the back of my head? Weren't they from my fall? Did you cause them?"After Brendan finished speaking, he fell silent for two

Chapter 1487 Sheer Luck

"Considering Mr. Brighthall's current condition, he wouldn't be able to accept the fact that he has forgotten many things," the doctor explained. "But isn't forgetting a good thing for you as well?""Yes, I was the one who drugged him. If he forgets, it truly is the best outcome for me," Deirdre confessed in a hoarse voice."Then it's all right," the family doctor replied.Deirdre shook her head. "No, it's not.""What do you mean?" the family doctor inquired.Taking a deep breath, Deirdre continued. "At least there's one aspect here that I can't understand."The family doctor gestured for her to continue."Why did Brendan's body react? He should have lost all sensation due to the side effects of the incense. Why did it..."Deirdre believed that it was all an act by Brendan, a facade to protect her. Could it all be fake?The family doctor fell into a brief silence. "I can't explain this either. It could be due to the effects of the medication, or perhaps his body is gradually r

Chapter 1488 Qualification to Protect Him

Ryker noticed the truth in Deirdre's words as her every attempt at a password failed. It made him question why Brendan had brought up Deirdre's name in the first place. Was it merely a coincidence?Ryker composed himself quickly and offered reassurance, saying, "There must be passwords you haven't tried yet. Take your time. There are still chances."Deirdre's mind was overwhelmed with a sense of hopelessness. The days of trying different combinations had led her to believe that unlocking it was nearly impossible. She didn't have the courage to try again. Instead, she focused on making Brendan suspicious of Ryker.A few days later, as Deirdre was about to head to the study, she heard the sound of a car outside. The assistant had arranged for someone to help Brendan up the stairs.Brendan's steps were unsteady, and the strong smell of alcohol clung to him."What's happening?" Deirdre inquired, concerned, as she approached the assistant.The assistant forced a smile and apologized,

Chapter 1489 Want to Know the Password?

Deirdre struggled to grasp the deeper meaning behind Brendan's words, but it eluded her understanding."Are you suggesting... that I can't protect her?" Deirdre asked, her voice filled with uncertainty."Can you truly protect him? Can you safeguard our child?" Brendan retorted.Lost in her thoughts, Deirdre realized her powerlessness in the current situation.Leaning back in his chair, Brendan loosened his tie and took a rare moment of comfort. "Deirdre, once you give birth to the child, you should leave. You don't belong here, and you don't belong by my side."Furrowing her brow, Deirdre prepared to challenge his statement, but before she could speak, Brendan abruptly stood up.Due to his towering stature, maintaining balance was a struggle for him, and his actions seemed unsteady.Additionally, Deirdre strained her neck just to meet his gaze, finding it challenging to reach out and touch him. "Brendan, don't wander around while intoxicated. If you fall, there will be no one to

Chapter 1490 The Secret Passage

Moving aside the tightly sealed counter, an unexpected opening appeared before Deirdre. It was pitch black inside, hindering her vision. However, what startled her even more than the sight behind the counter was the fact that she had unlocked it with her own fingertips.It was a fingerprint lock. Yet, she had never registered her fingerprints or used fingerprint unlocking before. Deirdre felt immense surprise, her tightly clenched hand radiating warmth."Why?" she questioned with trembling lips. "Why can my fingerprint unlock it?"Brendan didn't answer but suddenly embraced her tightly, exerting strong force.Deirdre listened to his steady breathing and heartbeat, unable to fully comprehend the impact within her heart."When did it happen?" she asked.Brendan rubbed his chin against her forehead. "I forgot."Indeed, he had forgotten when this idea first occurred to him. Perhaps it happened one day when he saw the peacefully sleeping woman curled up on the sofa, thinking that som
