"Splash-"
A gust of cold wind swept through, causing the haphazardly placed medical records on the table to fall and reveal the bottom page, which happened to be the pregnancy report that Brendon had almost seen...
That night, Brendon did not come back.
Restless throughout the night, Ranita got out early in order to complete her discharge procedures. She returned home, gave Chris a call to change their meeting time and then promptly buried herself under blankets sleeping until dawn broke.
However, it wasn't exactly peaceful sleep either; she kept waking up every now-and-then with thoughts revolving around Brendon.
At Boulderland Mansion...
Shannon was half-lying on the bed, her eyes shimmering as she looked at Brendon. "Brendon, thank you for taking care of me all night. You didn't go back to see Ranita, will she be angry?"
Last night, after Brendon came back, Shannon had been holding his hand all night.
She even needed him to be there when she slept, and if he left, she would wake up crying... Brendon had no choice but to stay with her all night.
Brendon stayed up all night and looked a bit tired. "Don't worry, I'll talk to her. Ranita is always reasonable and won't get angry easily."
"Really? But last night..." Shannon stopped halfway through her sentence and teared up. "It's all my fault... I'm so useless..."
Shannon was consumed by self-blame, with droopy eyes like a wilting flower that lost its vitality. Anyone who saw her couldn't help but feel pity for her.
"Okay, don't blame yourself! You didn't want this accident to happen either." Brendon called the servant over to arrange breakfast for Shannon before rushing back to his room to freshen up.
