Chapter 114 Can’t Get a Permanent Criminal Record

Deirdre’s entire body was shaking. She felt as if the sky was collapsing on her and that the coldness of the world was endless.

“Don’t…” She inhaled a deep breath shakily, and her eyes reddened with tears in an attempt to calm herself as she pleaded with Brendan. “I’m begging you, Brendan. Don’t get the police involved. I’ll agree to any condition…”

“Don’t beg him! Deirdre!” Sterling felt his heart wrench in pain. He rubbed Deirdre’s hair gently without any concern for Brendan’s cold stare and said in a determined tone, “I’ll just be placed in a detention facility for a few days. It’s nothing serious, and I don’t care anyway.”

He looked toward Brendan once again, his eyes filled with coldness. “Our society is governed by law. Could it be that he’s going to get me killed in the detention facility?”

Brendan’s gaze shifted away from Sterling’s hand that was touching Deirdre’s hand. He felt so agitated in his heart that he wanted to hit someone. While he was suppressing his anger, he lit a cigarette and cracked an enraged smile. “I can see that you still don’t understand what’s going to happen to you, Sterling. Don’t even think about becoming a doctor no matter where you are if you get a permanent criminal record.”

Sterling’s eyes shook. “So what? I’ll be fine with not being a doctor. Could it be that I won’t be able to live anymore after losing the job?”

“Sterling…” Brendan sneered, yet Deirdre’s eyes were reddened with tears. She knew that being a doctor was Sterling’s life pursuit. It was his life and dream.
