Chapter 279: Resent Reject, Regret By Aqua Summers Chapter 280

Chapter 280 Deirdre Has Lost Her Mind for Real!

Brendan covered his abdomen weakly. He could not feel the pain in his injury. anymore, perhaps due to the pain in his heart, which overpowered everything else. On the contrary, he cracked a smile and said, “Mother, bail her out…”

He said in a shaky voice, “I owe it to her because I was the cause of her mother’s death. Aside from the fact that she didn’t manage to stab me to death, I’d deserve it even if I were to die for real.”

“You…” Madam Brighthall was rendered speechless. She staggered, taking a few steps due to her intense headache. “What on earth has happened between you two?”

Brendan felt the warm, moist sensation in his hands. Before he could speak, a doctor came rushing into the room.

The sutures of his wound were ripped. The wound would need to be closed up again, and he would need another surgery to stop the bleeding. When he came out of the operating theater, Brendan was still trying to force himself to stay conscious.

“Sam, go to the police station to check on Deirdre and make sure that nothing bad. happens to her.” He gave the order with pale lips. Soon, he looked at Madam Brighthall and exhaled with great difficulty.

“Mother, I’m begging you to please help me explain to the police that this injury is unrelated to Deirdre.”

Madam Brighthall felt more pity than anger for Brendan. She knew that Brendan would force himself out of bed again if she were to disagree, as he always knew just how to get to her.

“Sure, I’ll go.”

Brendan was relieved, yet Madam Brighthall said, “However, you must explain everything to me clearly in the near future. If that woman hurt you intentionally without a proper reason, I will not tolerate you two being together!”

“Alright.” Brendan agreed.

Madam Brighthall and Sam were about to leave when a group of police officers. opened the door and entered the room. They confronted Charlene with a stack of evidence. “You’re under arrest.”

They then handcuffed Charlene. She was still in shock from the earlier incident, so she struggled with all her might when she was caught in this unexpected situation.” What are you doing! Don’t touch me!”

Madam Brighthall stepped forward to shield Charlene. “Hold on! What’s going on?

This is my daughter-in-law and she’s a lovely woman. She wouldn’t commit a crime, so this must be a misunderstanding!”

“Was the hit-and-run that happened a year ago a misunderstanding too? It’s related to her, right?” the police officer said coldly. “Charlene McKinney, you’ve been served with evidence. Deirdre revealed at the police station that you are the culprit behind the hit-and-run that happened a year ago, and we’re taking you to the station for a proper investigation.”

The blood drained from Charlene’s face. Brendan was extremely astonished as well.’ Deirdre has lost her mind for real!’

“Also…” The police officer continued. “Mr. Brendan Brighthall, you’ve been reported for two serious crimes: concealing a murder and killing Deirdre’s mother, Ophelia McKinnon, intentionally. We will be monitoring the hospital closely and taking you into custody for interrogation when you recover.”

The police left in a rush, leaving two police officers to guard the door.

The situation was already a chaotic mess.

Madam Brighthall’s entire body was shaking. “Deirdre reported these crimes? Not only is she trying to get Charlene in trouble, but she wants to put you in harm’s way as well! She messes up everything, yet you’re still trying to protect her!”

Brendan shut his eyes in fatigue.

He had not expected the extent of Deirdre’s fearlessness and courage.

It seemed that she was willing to go all out and take everybody else with her. However, she was completely unaware of the fact that her actions would only cause him mild trouble and she would be putting herself in great danger.

“I’ll handle everything and make sure that Charlene is fine.”

Madam Brighthall’s face turned green from anger. She had a weak heart and she only recovered after a long time. She said, “Charlene will be fine, but it’s apparent that Deirdre is trying to give everyone a hard time! She hates you and everybody else, yet you still want to save her? You’re still trying to keep her next to you? Are you just going to keep a toxic person like her, who will rebel at any moment, around?”
