Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 279

Chapter 279 Why Would You Put Your Life at Risk Like This?

“I’m sorry.” Brendan propped his forehead and said, “I was only trying to find out how Deirdre is currently. After all, it was my fault her mother died.”

“How was it your fault?” Charleen bit her lower lip tightly. “She was the one who committed suicide. Were you going to assign someone to watch over her all day long? On the other hand, Ms. McKinnon is too insensible. You treated her mother so well and you even made an exception to bury her…”

“That was nothing.” Brendan interrupted her, his eyebrows furrowed even tighter.” Had I not made her your scapegoat, Ophelia wouldn’t have died.”

“So do you regret what you did?” Deirdre was incredulous, and her lips were trembling.

Brendan was so agitated in his heart that he could not be bothered to explain. himself. Meanwhile, Sam suddenly entered the room in a rush, and his dejected eyes lit up abruptly when he saw Brendan. “You’re finally awake, Mr. Brighthall!”

“What happened?” Brendan felt uneasy.

“The police came and took Ms. McKinnon after you were injured. They charged her with premeditated murder.”

“What?” Brendan was incredulous. “Who called the police?”

Sam shook his head. Everything had been such a complicated coincidence. It had happened at just the right time when Brendan had still been in surgery.

“All in all, the police refuse to let her go, and she can only be bailed out by you or a family member.”

Brendan pulled away the blanket right away, but an angry voice came from the door before he could get off the bed. “Go back to bed!”

Madam Brighthall walked into the room, sounding extremely furious. “Are you trying. to get yourself killed by getting off the bed after you just had surgery? Do you know that you almost died earlier?”

“Mother.” Brendan assumed an obedient expression yet he felt restless and agitated deep in his heart. “You came at the right time. Please go to the police station and help me bail her out!”
