Resent Reject, Regret By Aqua Summers Chapter 55

Chapter 55 Charlene Was in the Office

Brendan clenched his fists tightly and ran over to grab Sterling before punching his face ferociously. He was in an uncontrollable rage. “Sterling, are you trying to get yourself f*cking killed?! Did you think that you had a free pass for life just because I said that I’d let you off? Who let you in!” C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Sterling’s face stung from the punch yet he did not care about anything else. He shoved away Brendan abruptly and said, “Stop getting in the way!”

It was an emergency, so he couldn’t care less about quarreling with Brendan, yet Brendan was especially furious. “Stop getting in the way? Who are you asking to make way, huh? Who do you think you are? You would have already died a hundred times had Deirdre not threatened me with her life! Who do you think you are to throw a tantrum in my presence!”

As he was speaking, the jacket of his suit was tugged by the woman on the bed. Brendan became even more infuriated. “Deirdre, are you trying to get yourself killed as well? Did I save you just so I could see you engage in a love affair with him…”

Brendan’s gaze landed on Deirdre’s ghastly pale face and his breath caught. Only then did Sterling manage to push Brendan’s hands away.

“I’ll be the first one to punish you if Deirdre loses her voice!”

He treated her and administered medicine for an hour before he managed to save Deirdre’s voice.

The residue in the medicine cup was collected and sent for a laboratory test. Sterling’s usually gentle expression changed, and he was shaking from anger as he held the test results. “This person is sinister. He knew that Deirdre is allergic, so he increased the dosage of the medicine. If I had come any later, Deirdre’s voice would have been completely destroyed!”

He looked up to stare at Brendan. “I told you to let go of Deirdre. Is it not enough that you’ve ruined her eyes? Do you want to ruin her voice too?!”

Brendan kept quiet, as he knew that justice was not on his side. He sought the hospital to check the surveillance cameras with a cold expression, wanting to find out who had come to the room.

Sam had been guarding the room, yet he was nowhere to be found all of a sudden. He only showed up leisurely after Brendan got hold of a photo of the person on the surveillance camera.

“Mr. Brighthall?” Sam approached Brendan in an attempt to suck up to him after finding him talking to the hospital staff at the door. He felt his heart racing when he discovered that Brendan’s expression was solemn beyond comparison and the ambiance was obviously unusual.

“Mr. Brighthall, did… did something happen?”

“Why?” Brendan gazed at him with an ice-cold gaze. “I ordered you to supervise the ward closely. Where have you been?”

Sam was stunned. “Didn’t you send me to get some desserts for Ms. McKinnon from the cafe on the street? I got them after queueing up for a long time.”

He shook the desserts he was holding in his hand, while Brendan furrowed his eyebrows tightly. “I sent you?”

“Yes, I still have the text message you sent me on my phone… What’s going on?”

Brendan’s expression was stern. “Something bad happened to Deirdre after you left.”

“What?” Sam was incredulous.

“Show me the text message.”

Sam pulled out his phone in a haste. There was indeed a text message from Brendan on his phone, yet he had still been in a meeting when the text message had been sent out, and his phone had been left on his desk.

Brendan’s gaze turned icy. He made a call to the company to check the surveillance camera before he received an answer soon enough.

Charlene was in the office.

He was absolutely shocked by the answer. Brendan had never thought that this could happen and he was about to order his staff to look into this matter when he heard a commotion in the room behind him.

He immediately opened the door, only to see that Deirdre was already awake.

Concerned, Sterling got her some water at once. while Deirdre consumed it without making a fuss.

Sterling clenched his fists tightly. ‘If I had gotten her the water, she wouldn’t even have touched it, right?”
