Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 519

Chapter 519 

Max was indeed planning Just that. Without surveillance, the situation was stacking up against Brielle. He took a punch from Andrew, right under the watchful eyes of the Rowland clan, who saw it as taking one for Brielle. Should Jaxon stir up trouble for Brielle again, it would seem out of line. After all, Jaxon was an elder and his grand–daughter recently tied the knot with the Dorsey family. He had to play nice for appearances. As for the rest of the Rowland folks, Max couldn’t care less. 

Finally, Jaired pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and exhaled a perfect ring of smoke. “Damn, are you playing tricks on me now?” 

Max ignored him, returning to the hospital room instead. 

Jaired, stuck outside, grew even more frustrated. 

Inside the room, Brielle’s eyelashes fluttered twice before her eyes slowly opened. She’d just choked on water and recovered after a couple of stomach presses. Her current unconscious state was due to a lack of oxygen. Now she’s awake, and it meant she could be discharged 

soon. 

Max let out a sigh of relief. 

Propping herself up in the hospital bed, Brielle glanced around with furrowed brows. “Did I pass out? How’s Tessa doing?” 

“She’s just been brought out of the ER.” 

Max handed her a cup of warm water and placed it before her. 

After a few sips, Brielle felt a heavy weight settle on her. Tessa’s emergency room visit probably had the rest of the Rowlands hating her guts. And Andrew, what would he do to her? 

Her lips pressed tight, but at that moment, there hadn’t been time to think. Besides, Tessa had stirred up this whole mess by herself. Brielle would just have to roll with the punches. 

“Don’t worry, it’ll be okay,” Max comforted her, glancing outside at the dark sky, 

It was midnight; it was time to sleep. They could check out tomorrow morning: if she developed a fever in the middle of the night, it would be back to square one. 

“Get some sleep, and in the morning, I’ll ask the nurse if you can be discharged.“. 

After the ordeal, Brielle was indeed tired. Seeing Max still there, she scooted over to make room. “Want to hop in and sleep too?” 

Max pointed to another bed in the room. “There’s one here.” 

Brielle’s cheeks flushed red, and she awkwardly turned over, curling up to sleep. Soon, she felt the bed dip, and a gentle embrace drew her in. “Don’t do anything that dangerous again.” 

Brielle sighed. It wasn’t as if she could just decide not to. Tessa’s crazed state had been

completely unpredictable. To think she had always seemed so cautious about her own life, yet. in a fit of rage, she had thrown it all to the wind. 

The next morning at 7 a.m. 

At the end of the hospital corridor, the room was still crowded, the atmosphere thick with silence. 

Andrew sat by the bed, watching as Tessa opened her eyes. Tessa felt a splitting headache and weakly gazed at the ceiling. 

The others became alert, and Andrew held her hand. “Tessa, how are you feeling?” 

It took a while for Tessa to remember, then tears began to fall heavily. 

Andrew quickly grabbed some tissues to wipe her tears. “Don’t cry. What happened exactly? How did both you and Brielle end up in the water?” 

A shiver went through Tessa’s heart, regretting her loss of reason at the time. “Didn’t you investigate?”
