Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 555

Chapter 555 

The chill emanating from Max’s presence intensified, and the throb in his head grew more severe. He couldn’t help but wonder if it was the aftermath of that car crash Pyan had orchestrated, the one that left his brain marred with a stubborn contusion. At the moment, all he could focus on was the pain that seemed almost unbearable

He tossed his phone aside, deciding to shut out the world and its barrage of information, craving nothing but a moment of brief respite

Patrick.He called out again, and Patrick, already alert to his bosssour mood, hurried through the door

Sir?” 

Do we have any sleeping pills? Hand me one, will you?” 

Patrick hesitated, a wave of memories bringing a bad taste to his mouth. Right away, sir. Are you in pain?” 

Yeah, the doc mentioned the clot hasn’t cleared. No clue how long it will take.” 

Do you need me to get a doctor to check on you?” 

Later. I need to rest now.” 

With no choice but to comply, Patrick fetched the sleeping pill and a cup of warm water. Leaving his phone in the study, Max headed to the master bedroom and succumbed to sleep

Patrick waited outside, pondering for a moment before deciding to call Brielle

At this time, Brielle had just left Stellar Stage Entertainment. Caught in the rush hour traffic, her car crawled to a halt at a red light when her phone rang, flashing an unfamiliar number

Frowning, she hesitated for a split second, truly not wanting to answer. After mentally bracing herself, she picked up to a woman’s voice on the other end, one that carried the weight of years. Ms. Brielle, hello. I’m the new director of Sunflower Children’s Home. Today, a few children are set to be adopted, and the former director hoped you could come by personally.” 

Brielle’s intuition was spot on; there was indeed a pile of issues waiting for her. She honked the horn impatiently, her brows knitting together deeply

Ms. Brielle?” 

Taking a deep breath to calm her nerves, she replied, Alright, I’ll be there shortly. Am I needed to sign off in the former director’s stead?” 

Yes, he said you’re the only one he truly trusts.” 

With that, Brielle took the next turn, heading toward the new location of Sunflower Children’s

Having been the one to see off Mark, she felt a responsibility to be there for the children at this moment. However, the timing of it all seemed too coincidental, as if the universe conspired to keep her from Max

Her phone had run out of battery and shut down, leaving her in that modernday panic model that came with a dead cell. She hadn’t even managed to send Max a soothing text. A mix of irritation and a strange sense of injustice began to bubble up within her

On her way to the orphanage, she tried to compose herself, and it wasn’t until she was greeted by the children’s beaming faces that she felt somewhat at ease

Ms. Brielle.” The new director welcomed her at the doorway, showing utmost respect. These are the two kids who are getting adopted.” 

Brielle recognized a few familiar faces despite the change of address. The children saw her and cheerfully called out, Brielle!” 

Brielle, it’s been so long since you visited.” 

Brielle, where did Mark go?” 

She patiently answered their questions and assessed the two prospective families. Both appeared to be from stable, happy homes, and she confidently signed the paperwork

As the families took the children away, the remaining kids bid their farewells, and Brielle couldn’t help but remember her own adoption by the Haywood family amidst similar blessings

It’s him! He’s here. Is he coming to see us?!” 

Yay!” 

The children’s excitement reignited as they dashed toward a young man stepping out of
