Chapter 175 Bear a Child for the Brighthalls
It was what Brendan wanted indeed. However, he was puzzled and displeased by Deirdre’s attitude. “Yes, you’re going to bear a child,” Brendan said in a calm tone. “I refuse to believe that you don’t want a child!”Deirdre took a deep breath because she felt suffocated. “Whose child am I going to bear? Yours?”“Who else’s?” Brendan’s voice turned nonchalant abruptly, as if he was doubting Deirdre. His dark eyes turned cold as well. “Who else do you want to have a child with other than me?”Deirdre wanted to laugh but could not bring herself to laugh after feeling the acid reflux in her throat. Brendan had destroyed her first child and her ability to become a mother, yet he claimed that he would help her seek treatment as if he was doing charity. ‘Does he think that doing this will offset his guilt and the hardships that I’ve endured?’She had to push her tongue against her teeth with great effort to stop herself from asking him to leave, yet her body was still shaking. She looke
Chapter 176 The Child Won’t Be a Bastard
“You only need to comply with my treatment and take the liquid medication.”Deirdre’s empty eyes finally moved once. Her soft lips parted to blurt out, “Leave.”“Ms. McKinnon… You really don’t need to be so sad because you’re going to be pregnant again…”Deirdre stretched out her hand to knock over the medication cup and the warm water. She didn’t feel anything, even though the warm water splashed her hand. She glared at the doctor with bloodshot eyes and said, “I told you to leave! Can you hear me? I won’t take the medication!”The doctor was stunned for a moment but he noticed Deirdre’s hand soon enough. “Your hand is hurt, Ms. McKinnon!”“Leave!”The doctor had no idea what to do against her resistance, so he could only call up Brendan to report the situation. Brendan left an important meeting halfway and found Deirdre sitting on the sofa as soon as he entered the house. There was a mess on the rug, and Deirdre’s hand, the one she had used to protect herself, was already swo
Chapter 177 It’s Only Because He Needs an Heir
She was left all alone in the villa that particular afternoon, as the doctor had coincidentally left to purchase something for the prescription. She was bored of staying in the room, so she felt her way downstairs. She heard noise from outside as soon as she got to the living room and assumed that the doctor was back. Then, she heard the sound of high heels clicking on the tiles, approaching her. Charlene showed up at the door arrogantly, and Deirdre could feel her hatred even from a few meters away. Deirdre did not find it surprising. In fact, she felt that Charlene was late to see her. She ignored Charlene and leaned back on the sofa. Charlene sneered upon smelling the pungent smell in the air. “Why does the house smell so strongly of medication? Deirdre, are you dying?”There was no one else around them, so Charlene had spoken in a harsh tone. Deirdre answered nonchalantly, “I’m sorry for disappointing you, Ms. McKinney. I won’t be dying anytime soon. The medication presc
Chapter 178 Ophelia is dead
However…A moment later, Charlene’s gaze turned sharp and her lips curled into a smirk in delight. Would Deidre still be so sharp-tongued when she found out about that matter?Charlene looked forward to that very much. Deirdre could not be bothered to beat about the bush anymore, so she turned around and headed upstairs after she finished her sentence. “Hold on, Ms. McKinnon!” Charlene beamed widely and said, “Don’t be in such a rush to leave. There’s something else that I wanted to tell you when I decided to come here today.”“It’s fine.” Deirdre continued to walk up the stairs. Charlene spoke slowly as she said, “Are you sure it’s fine? This is related to your mother.”Deirdre’s footsteps halted to a stop. ‘Mother?’Even though she knew that nothing good would ever come out of Charlene’s mouth, Deirdre still could not help stopping because she wanted information related to her mother so badly. Brendan had always kept a very tight lid on that. Despite speaking to her mo
Chapter 179 I Would Like to See Her at Once
Charlene’s face was green and purple. She had almost fainted, and her lips were trembling. Deirdre still wanted to throw herself at Charlene but she was stopped by the man. Charlene said, “Haven’t you wondered why Brendan refuses to let you see Ophelia, Deirdre?! It’s because she is dead, of course! Her corpse has been burned to ashes! Hence, you won’t be meeting a dead person no matter how obedient you are. You may ask Brendan personally if you don’t believe me and see how he answers you!”Upon saying that, Deirdre knew that time was running out, so she turned around and left with the man. Deirdre sat on the rug by herself and felt icy coldness spreading through her body. There was confusion and fear in her eyes when she muttered to herself, “It can’t be… It can’t be…”“Brendan promised me that he would let my mother off if I agreed to be the scapegoat. How is she dead? How?”She attempted to convince herself over and over again, yet her mind was filled with past events constan
Chapter 180 I Want to See Her in Person if She Is Alive and I Want to See Her Corpse if She Is Dead!
“You only need to answer me if my mother is still alive or not!” Deirdre was having an emotional breakdown. Her tears seeped into her mouth, and she could taste their bitterness. “Brendan! You promised! You promised me that you’d take care of my mother if I agreed to be Charlene’s scapegoat! If anything bad has happened to her, I will hate you for the rest of my life!”‘If anything bad has happened to her, I will hate you for the rest of my life!’Brendan’s mood was affected, and his breathing pattern changed as well. His voice sounded cold when he said, “No! Ophelia is still well and safe in the hospital! Deirdre, stop believing hearsay and learn to think in every situation. If Ophelia was dead, she’d be dead. Why would I lie to you about that?”Deirdre sobbed soundlessly and shook her head. She was almost hysterical. “I don’t know…”She had no idea why Brendan would need to lie to her, yet she had no choice but to believe the voice clip after everything that had happened recently
Chapter 181 I Must’ve Lost My Mind a Long Time Ago
She believed that she would not end up the way she had when she had fallen from the second floor if she jumped from here. She had broken a few ribs but she had lived and been discharged from the hospital previously. She would die if she were to fall from this floor. However, Deirdre did not feel an ounce of fear in her heart as she felt the wind. She stepped over and sat on the ledge easily, her feet hanging in the air. It felt as if she had traveled back in time while playing with the water in the pond of the slums. She felt more joyous and relaxed than she had ever felt before. The doctor noticed that something was off and came rushing to the third floor. His expression turned pale with fear. “Ms. McKinnon! Don’t do anything rash! Come down here, quick!”“Don’t come near me.” Deirdre turned her head, her hair blowing in the wind, her gaze so empty that the sight of her was pitiful. “I will jump if you take one step closer to me!”The doctor was almost in tears, as no one wo
Chapter 182 She’s Dead, Right
“I have something important to attend to. Postpone the meeting!”Sam was stunned, and his face turned pale. “Mr. Brighthall! You’ve been after this project for more than six months…”“I said, postpone it! Get me flight tickets immediately! We’re going back to Neve!”Sam had also noticed that something was off. “What’s going on in Neve?”“Deirdre is threatening to commit suicide on the third floor of the villa.”He wanted to hop on a flight to return to Neve, but doing so was not as simple as he thought it would be. There was no available flight now, and the earliest flight would take off at midnight. He would need to wait five more hours. Forget about five hours. Deirdre might not necessarily be able to withstand three hours in the cold wind given her health condition. Brendan could only arrange for a private jet, so more than two hours had already passed by the time he arrived in Neve. He ran through all the red lights on the way home and found the woman’s emaciated figure
