Chapter 824 Send Charlene to Prison
Deirdre did not understand why Brendan would disguise as Kyran to deceive her and wondered whether Brendan
had feelings for her at some point as well. Yet, she denied those thoughts when he reconnected with Charlene once
again. 1
It was just another one of Brendan's tricks.
On the other hand, Deirdre felt her chest tighten and ache when she heard Brendan use the word 'love' repeatedly.
Nonetheless, she calmed down instantly and cracked a smile in contempt. 'What trick do you have up your sleeve
again?"
Brendan's gaze dimmed as he looked at her changing expression. "Don’t you believe what I just said?"
Deirdre's mind was a chaotic mess. "I don't know if I should believe you because you've deceived me way too many
times. You have such a close relationship with Charlene and also..."

you reject me in the hospital? You could have totally straightened the situation by now and sent Charlene to prison."
'That was because-" Brendan was eager to speak, but he fell silent after he blurted his reply.
He stared at Deirdre deeply but could not bring himself to say it.
'That was because of what?" Deirdre inquired sarcastically. "Because you love her too much? Because you want the
baby in my womb? Thus, you make up an absurd lie in an attempt to appease me so I can stay calm?"
Brendan felt his heart wrench in pain. "No."
He hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead as if he cherished her very much. “No, it is because... there’s
something that I just can't tell you yet."
Deirdre looked up while Brendan said with great difficulty, "Even if you don't believe me, don't you know me well
enough to understand me? I'm not lying to you, and I really want to bring Charlene to justice, but I need time to
gather the evidence. If you don't believe..."
Brendan dialed Sam’s phone. Sam was still busy when he answered in a tired but respectful voice, "Sir." "Have you
gathered the evidence that will bring Charlene to justice?"
Sam answered quickly, "Almost done. It’s enough for Charlene to get a life sentence."
Deirdre's mind was still blank when Brendan ended the call. He said softly," If you don't believe me, will you believe
Sam at the very least?"
They were close to each other, and Deirdre felt an ineffable feeling surging in her chest.
'Brendan is going to put Charlene in prison... He claimed that he loves me...
'Would I believe him?’
Deirdre expressed her hesitation.
Meanwhile, Brendan held and kissed her hand softly as if he wanted to be more intimate with her.
Their lips touched, and their passion was ignited. The man was so emotional that Deirdre felt suffocated. She
rejected his kiss shakily, and her hand shoved Brendan’s shoulder subconsciously.

Brendan inhaled sharply from the pain while Deirdre immediately pulled back her hand upon realizing what she had
done. Brendan seized the opportunity to kiss her. Even though he did not manage to go all the way, he went most
of the way.
The next day, Deirdre's head was still spinning. She hoped that Brendan was not lying to her about intending to
send Charlene, the murderer, to prison so the real victim would be consoled.
Deirdre headed downstairs to find Brendan having a much better appetite than before. He ate an extra bowl of
oatmeal.
Deirdre discovered that the previous Dr. Lang was not around anymore when Brendan was getting his wound
dressed. A doctor she was not acquainted with was in his stead.
She asked the doctor out of curiosity when Brendan headed upstairs to get changed, "Why is Dr. Lang not here
today?"
The doctor answered, "Dr. Lang has been feeling under the weather recently, so he is taking a leave of absence."
Deirdre nodded and said shyly, "Oh right, I would like to ask you something. My belly has been hurting a little for the
past two days, and I don’t feel like eating much. Why is that so?"
