Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 910

Chapter 910 A Full-Body Check Up

Charlene was strangely not irritated at all. She rebutted Deirdre with a cheery smile, “I’ll just take Miss McKinnon’s ornery behavior as good old venting and move on.”

Her mood was blazingly sunny. She took up a seat at the side and took her fill of breakfast, spirited, when there was suddenly a series of commotion outside. 1

To Charlene’s surprise, Madame Brighthall strutted inside with Brendan at her tail.

She rose. “Bren, it’s early! Why are you here?”

Brendan shot her a warning glance.

Madame Brighthall strode inside hurriedly straight toward Deirdre. She picked up the young woman’s hand and examined it, remarking, “God, you’ve got bonier…”

A pang hit Madame Brighthall. “God, that detainment center is just a hotbed for inhumane practices! How could the people working there not try to help? Especially since you’re pregnant!”

A wave of emotions washed over Deirdre. She knew Madame Brighthall’s concern and care for her were genuine. “It’s okay, Madame Brighthall. I didn’t actually suffer that much since I only stayed there for a few days. In fact, the scale told me I’ve put on some weight.” “Put on some weight!? Now you’re just pulling my leg.” Madame Brighthall sighed.

Charlene hated Deirdre for being the center of attention, so she butted into their conversation with a grin. “Don’t worry, Aunt Brighthall! At least I’m here, right? I’ll take good care of Miss McKinnon. That baby is Bren’s kin, which makes it my kin, too.”

Madame Brighthall’s face fell. She turned around and tossed an ugly glare at her. “Why in the Lord’s name are you here? Who invited you?”

Charlene feigned hurt. “It’s Bren’s house, right? So, of course, I’d be here.”

Madame Brighthall was just about to launch a rejoinder when Brendan suddenly spoke. “Enough! If we stall any longer, there isn’t gonna be enough time.” “Where are we going?” Charlene asked hurriedly.

Brendan shot her a look. “Deirdre needs a full-body examination and a pregnancy check-up. After all the furor this whole thing has caused and how dirty and messy the detainment center was, what happens if the kid comes out unhealthy? What then?”
