Chapter 279 Why Would You Put Your Life at Risk Like This?

“I’m sorry.” Brendan propped his forehead and said, “I was only trying to find out how Deirdre is currently. After all, it was my fault her mother died.”

“How was it your fault?” Charleen bit her lower lip tightly. “She was the one who committed suicide. Were you going to assign someone to watch over her all day long? On the other hand, Ms. McKinnon is too insensible. You treated her mother so well and you even made an exception to bury her…”

“That was nothing.” Brendan interrupted her, his eyebrows furrowed even tighter.” Had I not made her your scapegoat, Ophelia wouldn’t have died.”

“So do you regret what you did?” Deirdre was incredulous, and her lips were trembling.

Brendan was so agitated in his heart that he could not be bothered to explain. himself. Meanwhile, Sam suddenly entered the room in a rush, and his dejected eyes lit up abruptly when he saw Brendan. “You’re finally awake, Mr. Brighthall!”

“What happened?” Brendan felt uneasy.

“The police came and took Ms. McKinnon after you were injured. They charged her with premeditated murder.”

“What?” Brendan was incredulous. “Who called the police?”

Sam shook his head. Everything had been such a complicated coincidence. It had happened at just the right time when Brendan had still been in surgery.

“All in all, the police refuse to let her go, and she can only be bailed out by you or a family member.”

Brendan pulled away the blanket right away, but an angry voice came from the door before he could get off the bed. “Go back to bed!”

Madam Brighthall walked into the room, sounding extremely furious. “Are you trying. to get yourself killed by getting off the bed after you just had surgery? Do you know that you almost died earlier?”

“Mother.” Brendan assumed an obedient expression yet he felt restless and agitated deep in his heart. “You came at the right time. Please go to the police station and help me bail her out!”

The holding cell at the police station would be more arduous than being in prison. She would not only be cold and hungry, but she would also be with a bunch of

strangers. She was weak, helpless, and blind, so she would certainly be bullied there.

Madam Brighthall refused to even look him in the eye. “That would be impossible!”

Brendan was stunned.

Madam Brighthall said with a cold expression, “Look at you. You’re acting like you’ve been enchanted by that silly girl. She already attacked you with a knife and almost killed you, yet you’re still obsessing over her and you even want to bail her out of jail? Do you want her to attack you once again when she’s back here?”

“A dog should be euthanized after biting a man, let alone a person. She must be punished accordingly and she will be given a trial in court in a week. I’ve already hired the best lawyer in Neve, so she will be repenting in prison for eight years!”

Brendan’s face turned ghastly from shock. He objected without any hesitation by saying, “No!”

He took a deep breath. “I will never allow that! She will not be imprisoned!”

“Why not?” Madam Brighthall’s gaze turned stern and ferocious. She was extremely infuriated by how enchanted Brendan was with that woman. “Don’t you forget who is the head of the Brighthalls! As long as I shall live, I will never permit you to act outrageously! She must be punished. She deserves it, and no one is going to change. my mind about that!”

Upon saying that, Madam Brighthall turned around and left.

Charlene’s shriek was heard behind her. Madam Brighthall turned around and saw that Brendan had actually gotten out of bed right away. He had dropped to his knees from the pain in the surgical site, and blood had soaked the fabric on his abdominal area instantly, turning his top a bright red hue.

It went without saying that his wound had opened up. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Madam Brighthall almost fainted. “Get the doctor, quick!”

Sam ran outside while her eyes turned bloodshot from anger. She gave Brendan a slap in exasperation. “Have you lost your mind! What did she drug you with to make you put your life at risk like this!”
