Chapter 158: Chapter 158: She Must Be Feeling Desperate, Right?
“`
Abigail’s cheeks turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. Facing Brandon Piers’ naked gaze, she shivered with anger, but the little guy in her arms couldn’t feel her fury and sucked harder.
In the quiet room, the sound of Teddy nursing was particularly abrupt, and the atmosphere fell into weird awkwardness.
When Brandon saw Kelly come out, he thought Abigail had finished feeding the child. Who knew that upon entering, he would see this familiar scene again, and he unconsciously pursed his thin lips.
Unlike last time, this time Teddy was happily sucking, blocking half of the full view, but it didn’t hinder its beauty.
The memory from the last time still lingered in his mind; revisiting it, Brandon became much calmer and slowly turned his wheelchair under Abigail’s angry stare. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
The private doctor holding the medical kit was about to follow in. Seeing the second young master not moving, he was about to ask when a long hand suddenly slammed the door shut.
James Carter narrowly avoided the doorframe, adjusted his black-framed glasses, and asked, “Second young master?”
“Wait.” Brandon, inside the door, turned back to look at Abigail who had her back to him, and coldly replied, as if it wasn’t him who had just witnessed the young girl breastfeeding.
As Brandon’s private doctor, James felt utterly confused but could only wait.
Abigail’s face was not looking good. She had never breastfed the child in front of anyone except Kelly, especially this man who would be her brother-in-law after today.
“Please, second young master, leave first.” Abigail said coldly and harshly.
Brandon didn’t move.
While Abigail was feeding the baby, Kelvin Max had already investigated the matter thoroughly.
The one who wanted Abigail dead was none other than his fiancée today, Ruby Green.
And today wasn’t Ruby Green’s first time attacking Teddy.
Three days ago at the medical competition, the reason Teddy had run into the mortuary of Sincere Hospital and accidentally entered the research lab was because Clark Stone and Ruby Green had found people to deal with Abigail.
These two, one was Teddy’s fiancé, the other was his step-sister.
They had found a group of people, one wanted to blackmail Teddy by raping her and using it against her, making her a compliant dog.
The other had secretly increased the price to take Teddy’s life.
Brandon understood Clark Stone’s approach, wanting to control Teddy while also retaliating for Teddy showing a video of him with another woman in front of the families, thus humiliating Abigail.
But Ruby Green always aimed for Teddy’s life. The reason was something he had already guessed.
It was for him.
To be precise, for the Piers’ immense wealth.
Ruby Green had initially pretended to be Teddy lying beside him, making him think she was the one from that night. Never thought Abigail would unexpectedly get pregnant.
These two women wanted to use the child for status, forcing Teddy to give birth and then replace her, but felt threatened when Abigail became Teddy’s nanny. First, they facilitated the marriage between Abigail and Clark Stone.
Still not assured, they wanted Teddy’s life.
Once failing, trying another time.
Thinking of these, the light in Brandon’s eyes was tinged with a thin coldness. He looked at Abigail, who was cradling Teddy and desperately protecting the child, with no way to fend off his offense. A cold and hard heart was filled with immense guilt.
And thinking of how Teddy deeply loved the child, watching the baby being taken away in the delivery room must have been despairing?
His heart unexpectedly hurt a bit.
Abigail turned sideways but could still feel Brandon’s gaze without any avoidance, “…” What about being a gentleman? When a woman feeds her child, shouldn’t you look away?
“Let’s talk.” Brandon’s gaze fell on Abigail. The amber eyes were filled with surging waves. He knew the consequences of making this decision.
But seeing Abigail’s involuntary maternal love when protecting Teddy, he realized some things had to be done.
