You're The Best Medicine For Me novel Chapter 21

Shirley dashed forth with her eyes reddened as she hugged Jacob and roared, “Let go of the child.”

Despite that, the moment she just managed to get in contact with the child’s clothes, the man stepped back with the child in his arms. His expression was grim, “Stop it.”

Shirley contracted her pupils and felt an unprecedented fear spreading in from her feet to her heart after hearing his simple words. In the end, he was here… to snatch her child.

“Bryan, don’t lay your hands on him. He belongs to only me. Let him go.” She flew forward and had her hands around Jacob while her other hand flung towards him.

With a loud slap, this came as an utter shock to Bryan who had never experienced such humiliation for the past twelve years and his whole body became rigid.

He lowered his gaze and discerned that this pale-looking woman with messy hair was none other than… Shirley.

He immediately knitted his brows and the aura on his body remained abundant. He uttered this coldly, “You dare to…?”

Hit him!

After returning to the Moore family, there was no daredevil who would even lay one finger on him. This woman really went all out and did this to him.

Shirley pushed him away with force and she retreated rapidly with Jacob in her arms.

Shirley who had retrieved her child was shaking uncontrollably.

In the past six years, it was this pair of son and daughter who had given her courage to carry on. If this man wanted to snatch away her last ray of hope too, then she would lose all her reasons on how to carry on with her life.

With Jacob in her arms, she didn’t dare to even sneak a glance at Bryan as she marched forward while declaring, “The deal between us has come to an end. I will leave China tomorrow, and you better find yourself a new psychologist.”

The methods of revenge he could exact on Shirley were one too many. When he couldn’t get his way this this time, he would employ another method the next time around.

However, before she reached the green view, Jacob who was residing in her embrace pointed in Bryan’s direction as he said with a trembling voice, “Mummy, he…”

“Bang!” Before Jacob could continue, there was a sound resembling something heavy crashing to the ground.

Shirley stopped short in her tracks as she spun around to take a look.

That man had unexpectedly stumbled by the road as one of his hands was clutching his chest. There was a grimace on his face.

At that time, Shirley realized that his left arm was bleeding, which dyed his sky blue colour clothes in blotches of red.

She was frozen on the spot.

Jacob saw that she finally stopped being anxious, and he started to explain, “Mummy, daddy is not trying to take us away from you. He doesn’t even know that I am his son, and Emma and I happened to bump into him. He is probably looking for you and wants you to continue being his psychologist. Mummy…”

Shirley furrowed her brows sternly as she glared at Jacob, “Then, why are you trying to hide this from me? If I didn’t discover Emma stealing the first-aid kit, what are you planning to do tonight?”

“I…” Jacob lowered his head and a slight wrinkle formed on his forehead. He looked anguished and wronged.

He… just wanted to spend some time with daddy, but of course, he wouldn’t just tell Bryan that he was his son.

“Mummy, don’t you miss daddy? If he’s dad, or if there is something wrong with his body, the people of the Moore family wouldn’t let you go. I am just scared that there will be more troubles waiting for us.” Jacob said carefully.

Naturally, Shirley would have thought of this too.

But what could she do?

Bryan had discovered that there was a child who took after him a lot by her side. Even though he might not suspect anything at the moment, what about after some period of time when they got more and more familiar with each other?

However, she couldn’t solve anything by leaving either.

Even if she was not in China, if he wanted, he could search for her in America too and come for her child.

“What have you told him?”

“I said, ‘Sir, you look like my dad.’ And he seemed to believe me.”

He got into the passenger’s seat on his own.

Shirley examined his forlorn state and his wounded body and found that there was a huge wound on his elbow, and there was still fresh blood soaking his clothes. However, his expression told her that he somehow was immune to the pain as he simply allowed the blood to spread across his clothes.

“Why did you end up like this? Why did you come to the Spennor Residence while you should be sleeping?”

“Why are you asking while you know the answer?” Bryan didn’t even look at her as he settled in the passenger’s seat.

Shirley took in a deep breath as she told herself to calm down, or else she wouldn’t be able to finish what she had come here for. She might even drive herself crazy in the process.

She settled back into the driver’s seat and opened her back and took out a perfume bottle which could calm her down. She placed it in front of her.

A faint fragrance slowly permeated in the air. This particular fragrance was different from the one she had used on him today!

She started the engine and said, “I’ll send you to the hospital now. Rest in the car first. When we arrive, I will ask for some medical personnel to attend to you.”

Bryan looked outside the window but the glass reflected Shirley’s figure. Her side-profile brought out her feminine side and Jacob’s voice suddenly appeared in his mind.

“Daddy has been together with a bad woman, and mummy has suffered a lot because of him. He never cares about mummy and me and my sister.”

“You have a daughter?” His hoarse baritone sounded right by Shirley’s ears.

Her hand which was holding the steering wheel tightened, “That’s none of your concern. Stop asking about that!”

Bryan frowned and felt frustrated at how Shirley had been treating him.

He turned around to face Shirley as he asked in an equally stony voice, “Where is the father of those children?”

With a loud hissing sound, the car was screeching in the middle of the night…
