Chapter 177 Itâs 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. âWhy does the house smell so strongly of medication? Deirdre, are you dying?â
There was no one else around them, so Charlene had spoken in a harsh tone.
Deirdre answered nonchalantly. âIâm sorry for disappointing you, Ms. McKinney. I wonât be dying anytime soon. The medication prescribed to me will help me get pregnant Brendan hired a doctor to treat me, and I heard that the medication is very effective. You can have a taste if you like.â
âWhat?â
Charleneâs beautiful eyes widened, and her delicately pretty face was shocked.
âBrendan assigned a doctor to come here and treat Deirdre specifically just because Deirdre has been diagnosed with infertility?
âWhat is he trying to do!
âIt is very difficult for me to meet Brendan these days as it is!â
âYouâre lying! How is your infertility any of Brendanâs business?â Charlene calmed down completely after a brief moment and sneered in contempt. âDeirdre, I know your position in Brendanâs heart better than you! Brendan knows that I am the one who disemboweled and dismembered your puppy yet he still chose to forgive me willingly. This signifies that Iâm his first choice to be his wife, so why would he care if an insignificant woman is capable of becoming pregnant?â
Before Deirdre could answer, Charlene said with a twisted expression, âEven if he does care about your fertility, itâs only because of my health, which makes it inconvenient to get pregnant. After all, the Brighthalls need an heir!â
Deirdre was stunned for a moment when she heard Charleneâs remark clearly. She then realized instantly why Brendan insisted on getting her pregnant.
âItâs no wonder he cares about my infertility. Itâs because Charlene cannot get pregnant.
âHe wants me to go through pregnancy for ten months and risk my life in labor so I can give birth to a child who will address Charlene as mommy.â
At the thought of the man making a convincing remark for her own good, Deirdre clenched her fists tightly and could not help trembling from anger!
Charlene stared at Deirdreâs changed expression and curled her red lips into a smirk. âWhy, Deirdre?
Could you have such a wild imagination that you thought that Brendan would want to have a child with you?â
Charlene bantered recklessly while Deirdre grew disappointed.
âI do not have a wild imagination but I still find how heartless that man can be totally amusing.
âWhy didnât I realize that in the past?â
âYikes. Frankly, Brendan has always wanted to have a child with me, but I canât because I havenât gone. through fertility treatment. He canât bear to see me suffering through the treatment so⦠But donât worry, Deirdre. I will treat the child that youâll carry for ten months like my own biological childâ¦â
âAre you done?â Deirdre suppressed her anger and looked at Charlene. âIt seems that youâve forgotten.
something, Ms. McKinnon. Brendan and I are still married. Even if we do get pregnant, the child will not be related to you in the slightest! Plus, shouldnât Brendan arrange for a doctor to treat you if youâre unwell? Heâs trying everything just to get me pregnant, when you still canât have a child of your own, Ms. McKinney. Shouldnât you pity yourself? Whatâs there to be proud of?â
Charleneâs expression changed drastically. Deirdre had actually become sharp-tongued after winning.
their quarrel.
