Chapter 160 Infertile
Brendan left the office, but his tightly-furrowed eyebrows had yet to relax. He was worried that Deirdre had been rendered infertile for the rest of her life after the miscarriage of her first child. As for the reason he was worried, the only thing he could think of was that he needed a child.
‘Deirdre is the most suitable candidate to provide me with a child now.’
He arrived at Deirdre’s room to find Sam guarding the door outside. At the thought of how Deirdre could possibly still be sitting on the toilet bowl and not be properly dressed, his gaze turned colder as he looked toward Sam. “You haven’t gone in the room, right?”
Sam kept his head lowered. “No.”
Brendan felt relieved. He warned Sam with a cold voice before he entered the room. “Don’t get fancy ideas, and remember your place. Don’t forget what you promised me.”
After entering the room, he found Deirdre already shaking in pain on the toilet bowl. He wrapped her in his arms and fed her warm water before calling the doctor. After settling her down, the attending physician’s expression was unpleasant.
“She has been pregnant before, right?”
“Hmm.” Brendan’s lips pursed into a thin line, and he felt the urge to get a smoke. “About a year ago, but she miscarried.”
“I suspect that it was a medically-induced miscarriage. Moreover, it wasn’t done properly. As a result, her uterus was damaged in the process, in addition to her weak physical condition. The possibility of her getting pregnant…” The attending physician considered his words before he said, “Is very minute…”
‘Very minute?”
It was already the vaguest answer one could give. Brendan could see from the attending physician’s expression that the real answer was possibly even more hopeless.
‘Deirdre is most probably infertile for the rest of her life.”
He looked at the woman on the bed whose face was ghastly pale. He felt a stinging pain in his chest, but at the same time, he thought about how Deirdre would feel if she were to learn of this information.
If she were to find out that her punishment for cruelly killing his child in the past would be lifelong. infertility, he wondered if she would regret it, bawl bitterly, and hope that she could turn back time.
He felt delighted just by thinking about it but did not reveal the information to her.
He left and did not turn up at Deirdre’s room for the next two consecutive days.
Deirdre could feel that something must have happened but had no idea what it was. However, her biggest hope was placed on Sam now.
She was waiting for the evidence to surface when Charlene gave herself away accidentally, and Sam did not disappoint her either.
A few days passed, and he came with the evidence. His tone was one of excitement as he said, “Miss McKinnon, your faith was not in vain. The situation is just the same as my speculation. Check this out!
This is the homeless man’s account!”
Deirdre held the document, and Sam came to realize something. “I’m sorry, I’ve forgotten that you can’t see, Miss McKinnon.”
“It’s fine.” Deirdre suppressed her excitement. “Please tell me.”
Sam said, “I found the account of the homeless man’s friend. A transaction was made into his account.
on the night of Bliss’ accident. I looked into the source of the account and found that it belongs to a servant working for Charlene!”
“This is great!” Deirdre inhaled a deep breath, her body shaking from joy.
Her faith was not in vain indeed. She was lucky to capture Charlene’s careless mistake. ‘This time, will Charlene still be able to extricate herself from her crimes?”
Sam handed the document to her. “All the detailed evidence is here. Mr. Brighthall will understand after reading this. Ms. McKinnon, you should hand this to Mr. Brighthall personally.”
As Deirdre received the document, her gaze dimmed. Brendan had not stepped into the hospital over the past few days, and she had no idea why.
‘Is it because I’m having my period at a bad time that he is disinterested?’
“Sam.” She asked, “Did something happen on the day Brendan came after I lost consciousness?”
