Chapter 556

Brandon took Theresa to the breakfast joint across from the inpatient department for a bite to eat.

Theresa was still curious about that man who had suddenly lost his edge and couldn't help but ask Brandon, "Daddy, what's up with that Mister?"

Mentioning Daniel was like a thorn in Brandon's side, bringing up all sorts of thoughts he wished he could avoid.

He and Sophia had seen the trouble coming from a mile away and had taken steps to dodge the bullet - rescheduling the construction and switching teams. Everything should have been peachy, but Daniel had to go and pull strings in the shadows because he was Brandon's old man, and that was what led to Sophia's tragedy a betrayal Brandon could never forgive.

With that kind of grudge weighing on him, he couldn't bring himself to teach Theresa to turn the other cheek, and he sure didn't think it was necessary for Theresa to know that he was her granddad.

"He just ran into some bad luck." Brandon said softly to her, "Don't sweat it, Theresa."

Theresa nodded, not quite getting it, "Okay."

Looking up, she saw Kent hustling out of the hospital entrance, who was obviously worried, scanning the area while fishing out his phone to make a call.
