Forbidden Passion

Chapter 403 I Am Willing to Be a Vegetarian for Life

In front of the ER, Brandon's usually neat hair was a mess, his shirt untucked, and bloodstains all over it.

Across from him, Theodore's bloodshot eyes were full of hate. A slim figure clung to his waist, and his clenched fist, veins bulging, hung at his side. "Is this your idea of handling it?" Theodore's fist cracked. "Vanessa, let go. I'll kill him!" Phoebe suddenly recognized Vanessa. She wasn't jealous, given the tense situation. Phoebe noticed Vanessa's empty hands, but there was no ring. She smiled bitterly.

No matter how much she tried not to care, it didn't work.

"Theodore, Taylor's still in the ER. Don't do this. If she hears you and Brandon fighting, she won't be at ease," Vanessa pleaded. Theodore's anger surged. Seeing the blood on Brandon made him uneasy.

All that blood was Taylor's. How badly was she hurt?

"How could you be so cruel? She's your wife!" Theodore raged. He knew how much Brandon protected Marlowe and Bishop.

Brandon had taken Taylor home, and dismissed the servants, but Taylor had an accident. Theodore couldn't help but suspect Brandon's motives. Brandon wanted to kill Taylor to make room for Marlowe and Bishop. How could he not see Brandon's ambition and let Taylor go back with him? Brandon frowned. "What are you talking about?"

Theodore asked, "Nonsense? Then why did my mom fall down the stairs? Why is she like this?"

Brandon gritted his teeth. "Taylor was distracted and fell. I did nothing."

"Who are you trying to fool?" Theodore grew more furious, yanking Vanessa's hands off his waist.

In his anger, Theodore didn't realize his strength. Vanessa was flung into the wall and collapsed. Vanessa groaned in pain, lying still for a long time.
