Ophelia's voice trembled with fear as she recounted the events, saying, "I had a brief conversation with Madame Brighthall, but it didn't last long. While we were speaking, she suddenly clutched her chest and collapsed without warning. The maid witnessed it and rushed over, and you can guess what happened next..."Deirdre nodded as if she was deep in thought, finding it strange.Ophelia sat there for a while and got up, claiming to get water. Deirdre saw a nurse coming out of the room, so she got up and asked, "Hello, nurse. I am the patient's… family. May I inquire what is the cause of the patient's heart condition?"She was still fine at the beginning of the conversation, so how did it suddenly turn into this?"The nurse furrowed her eyebrows tightly at the same time she was closing the door. "Are you sure that she was still fine during the conversation?"Deirdre was confused. "I…""It's apparent that the patient has been triggered by some sort of stimulation that resulted in t

Deirdre was astounded. She could not see Brendan's face clearly but could feel his determination at this very moment. "You…" Madame Brighthall pushed her palm tightly against her chest in anger. "So, you're saying that you won't split up with her? Are you really trying to cut ties with your mother because of a woman like her?"Brendan furrowed his eyebrows tightly. Meanwhile, Deirdre realized that she could not allow Brendan to keep going like this. Madame Brighthall's body would not be able to endure this, and their relationship would not survive a confrontation like this either."Madame Brighthall." Deirdre changed the way she addressed her. "I don't know why, but you loathe me. If that is the case, I won't be in your presence and make you be fed up with me anymore. I'll leave, but…"She paused for a moment. "I will never abort the child. She is my blood and flesh and doesn't just belong to Brendan alone."She turned around and left, leaving Brendan and Madame Brighthall in t

"You're awake?" Brendan's eyes were filled with affection that could not be concealed.Deirdre burrowed her head in his chest, still drowsy. Brendan tilted her chin and lowered his head to kiss her bit by bit. He kissed her until she could no longer take it and shoved him away."What are you doing? I haven't brushed my teeth yet.""I don't mind." Brendan's method was very passionate. He guided Deirdre's body with his arm and pinned her under him. "You're still not fully awake. What do we need to do to get you fully awake?"Sensing Brendan's hand sliding south, Deirdre opened her eyes at last. "I'm awake, I'm awake!"She opened her drowsy eyes, and her cheeks were blushing with an unnatural redness. "Why are you in my room?""To deliver a kiss to my love and… provide a wake-up call while I'm at it.""Provide a wake-up call?" Deirdre yawned. "Is it 7:00 a.m. already?""It's 8:00 a.m.""8:00 a.m.?" Deirdre looked at him. "That's early.""Right, I would like to bring you somewher

Deirdre blinked in confusion. She could feel that something was off about the situation, yet it was Brendan who brought it upon himself.It was Brendan who insisted on letting Sam tag along on their date, yet he was jealous of Sam now out of nowhere.In fact, she wanted to punish Brendan slightly by telling him that she did have a good time. However, she thought about it from another angle and figured that Sam would be in deep trouble, so she refrained from doing it. "I'm having a good time, of course. I have a good time going out with you, after all. I can talk joyously with anyone when I'm in a good mood."Deirdre humored Brendan with a smile, and he fell for it. He appeared to be smiling even with his eyebrows. He held Deirdre's hand and kissed the back of her hand. "Really? Do you have a good time going out with me?" he asked."Hmm." Deirdre nodded to humor him but thought that it would be even better if Sam was not around.Sam minded his own business by engaging in his wo

Sam picked up the agreement he had to sign out of curiosity and raised his head in surprise the moment he read the terms. His eyes were filled with shock.Shaun's expression was calm, and so was Brendan's. Deirdre asked, "What is it?""Nothing. Sam still has to check the agreement's content," replied Brendan.Brendan placed his arm over her shoulder and added, "I'll help you into the car first."Deirdre followed Brendan outside, raised her head, and asked, "What is the agreement that Sam is signing?"Brendan said, "It's the organization's renewal agreement. It's not important."Deirdre did not understand but did not inquire further. Sam took a photo of the agreement in the office. "What is this?" His sharp eyebrows were furrowed tightly, and his eyes were tainted with confusion. "Why is he transferring the stocks to me first and then entrusting me to transfer them to Ms. McKinnon three years later?"Shaun answered calmly, "This is Mr. Brighthall's idea. He hopes that you wil
