Chapter 919: Chapter 920

Chapter 920 Deirdre as the Unwitting Beneficiary Even though Brendan was panting heavily, he couldn’t suppress his sexual desire at all.

Deirdre noticed something was off and asked, “Brendan, what’s wrong?”

Brendan recalled that cup of coffee and furiously clenched his fists so tightly that his veins popped.

“Charlene has drugged me.” “What?” Deirdre was taken aback, unable to believe that Charlene was bold enough to drug Brendan without fear of consequences.

“What should we do? Should I call an ambulance and take you to the hospital?” “No, if I go to the hospital, Charlene will suspect something,” refused Brendan while trying to maintain his last bit of sanity.

“What should we do then?” Deirdre was panicking. “The drug is so potent. If you don’t go to the hospital, it may harm your health! Are you saying…”

Deirdre choked up. She couldn’t help but shiver uncontrollably when she thought of the solution.

This was not the first time such a thing had happened. She could omit her own thoughts, but because she was pregnant, she couldn’t put her child’s life at stake.

But seeing Brendan in so much pain, she had no other choice.

Deirdre said hesitatingly, “What about-” “No way!”

Brendan immediately rejected the idea.

Brendan was frowning heavily, feeling like a wild beast was rampaging inside him. It was not a physical pain, so it made it even more unbearable.

“I can’t control myself, but I absolutely can’t do it!” Brendan pushed away Deirdre, who was too close to him. He knew he certainly would regret it for a lifetime if he hurt the child or Deirdre.

“So, am I supposed to just watch you suffer like this? There’s no point in enduring this drug. Since it’s so potent, it will definitely harm your body.” For a brief moment, Deirdre was startled out of her thoughts, then gritted her teeth and said, “If you can’t endure it, you should go back to your room.

Charlene is waiting for you there.”

Brendan was momentarily stunned upon hearing that. He then glared at Deirdre with bloodshot eyes and mocked, “Are you trying to push me to Charlene?” “I don’t mean to push you to… It’s not a loss for you anyway,” said Deirdre, trying to avoid Brendan’s glare.

“Do you know what Charlene wants? She wants to have my child and rely on me for the rest of her life.

Do you think that’s okay?” Brendan said with disappointment growing in his heart.

Deirdre was at a loss for words. While struggling to support himself on the desk, Brendan coldly said, “Don’t say such things ever again, Deirdre. You never know how hurtful they can be” “I’m sorry.”

Deirdre clenched her fists and felt embarrassed. She then asked, ‘What should we do now?”

Brendan took a deep breath and tried to take out his phone to call the family doctor to come over as soon as possible. He then opened the window and tried to clear his mind with the cold wind while alleviating his body’s pain.

Meanwhile, Charlene had been lying on Brendan’s bed for a long time. She had been imagining Brendan rushing into the room to wash with cold water and how excited he would be when he saw her.

But as time passed, she couldn’t hear any movement outside the room.

Unconsciously, Charlene got up.

What was going on? Didn’t the person selling the drug say that it was very effective and would take effect in a few minutes? Why had it been more than ten minutes, and Brendan still hadn’t come?

Or was he unable to leave the study because he was in pain?

Upon thinking of that, Charlene quickly went out. Unfortunately, Mrs. Engel stopped her before she could reach the study. “Miss McKinney, it is inconvenient for you to go into the study now.”

Charlene had already gotten near the study, so she heard Deirdre’s voice, and her face suddenly changed when she thought that Deirdre had become the unwitting beneficiary due to her action.

She was immediately furious and rushed forward. “Get out of my way! Who do you think you are to stop me!?”
