The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1673

It was the first time she had seen Yasmine in such a panic since the last time she had been rushed to the hospital

“A bullet has gone through his leg. Given his age, there’s no chance he’ll ever stand again” Yasmine continued, her

voice sounding calm, but the quiver in it was too obvious for Chloe to miss.

She knew her mother’s affection for Bryson. From childhood, Bryson and Yasmine had depended on each other If it

wasn’t for Bryson, there would be no Yasmine today, and there would be no Chloe To her mother, Bryson was as

important as a father

Chloe’s current feelings were even more intense than when she found out that Wendy had taken Yasmine away c2

Bryson and her mother had a bond of over forty years. Her relationship with her mother barely exceeded three

decades

Maybe she couldn’t really understand Yasmine’s feelings right now

Yasmine’s voice was trembling more and more “He’s always been there for me. Chloe, in all the years of my life, all

the painful days, it was Bryson who stood by my side His leg was broken on the way home from my rehab

Chloe reached out and put her hand on Yasmine’s shaking shoulder. Her eyes were looking slightly red. She didn’t

know what to say, to make her not feel so sad not so upset. She didn’t have the right to say anything The fact was,

she couldn’t change anything

The only thing that could console her mother now was if Bryson could get better But that was impossible With his

age, there was no chance of recovery

She simply patted Yasmine’s shoulder, and after a long pause, she only had one thing to say, “We owe Bryson an

apology”

Yasmine’s voice choked. “Yes, I’ve let him down. I’ve been dragging him down all these years.”

Chloe’s expression gradually turned cold.

Dragging down

She suddenly thought of the moment when she shot Wendy dead. There was no fear, no panic, and even no

hesitation. She never thought about what would happen next.

If she really had to say, she only had one thought at that time, and that was relief

Yes With Wendy’s death, she felt relief because there would never be a ticking time bomb threatening her at any

time and affecting her life. But the ticking bomb wasn’t just Wendy Her mother was forced to jump into the sea

back then, and now Bryson’s leg was ruined

Old grievances and new hatreds, she had to count them.

Yasmine was exhausted, and her spirit was already weak. They didn’t talk for long before Chloe took Yasmine back

to rest

Chice asked Damon to accompany her to the hospital.

Winston was staying at the hospital. He nodded when he saw them. Chloe approached the bed. The elderly man,

who was already advanced in years. was now lying in bed, fast asleep

For the elderly, even a common cold could be life–threatening, not to mention being shot The bullet went straight

through his bone. it had only been a few days, but Bryson’s condition now looked frail and weak His hair, which used

to have some black strands, was now completely white. His face was pale and looked extremely haggard Having

gone through a life–and–death struggle, he had exhausted all his remaining energy

This sight made Chloe’s heart tremble Not to mention her mother, who regarded him as a father

Bryson had been by Yasmine’s side for so many years and was always on guard Even though he was asleep, he was

aware the moment the door to the ward opened it was just a matter of whether the person who came was worth

him opening his eyes to deal with

Right now, he didn’t have any extra energy to deal with people who didn’t really matter to him. Since the person

came in and didn’t say anything, an stood by his bed, it couldn’t be just anyone

He slowly opened his eyes, and sure enough, he saw Chice

“Miss His first reaction was to sit up from the bed, but Chloe was faster and lightly pressed down on his shoulder.

Then she shook her head gently at

Furn

Bryson didn’t insist anymore. The sharp pain in his leg made him gasp

Bryson, I hope you can take good care of yourself My mother feels very guilty about this. I’m sorry, you got hurt

because of us.

Bryson shook tus head failed to protect Yasmine I cant escape the blame for her misfortunel

“Bryson, my mother has long considered you as family You dont need to be so humble We are the cause of all this.

We’ve let you down, and there’s no doubt about that But im sorry besides an apology, I cant compensate you

“Chloe, I’ve never thought of blaming anyone Not being able to protect Yasming is something ( ant let go of What’s

done a done, and TM’m luckily, alive. I’ve been running around all my life, but i can’t let go. Now I have to retire it’s

just regrettable that I cant protect Ms. Yasmind and you anymore”

Chloe gave a smile, but it didnt look very convincing Nothing will happen in the future, you can est assured

Brysons expression gradually became serious The root of the problem has not been solved it’s not easy to say that

assured.”

“I understand your concerns Chloe said softly her voice gentle

Bryson looked at her blankly, his eyes probing

Chloe gave a slight smile again. T’ll settle this matter. Our life in the future will finally be peaceful.”

Although her words were understated, the meaning was clear. Everyone in the ward understood it.

Bryson looked at Chloe for a while before he let out a deep sigh. “Please be careful. After all these years, she has

laid a solid foundation. The Queen is a sentimental person, and she has been by the Queen’s side for so many

years…”

“Ho, my grandmother has been in a high position for a long time, above everyone else. Right and wrong are far

more important than sentiment. Besides… if it really comes down to sentiment, she can’t compare to my mother,

nor to me.”

When they were leaving, Chloe noticed that Damon’s face was off. She took the initiative to hold his arm and looked

up at him. “You need to help me.”

Damon looked at her. “Okay”

Yasmine decided to continue her rehab, and Chloe planned to accompany her for a few days When she got up the

next morning after a good night’s sleep and went downstairs for breakfast, she felt the atmosphere in the living

room was off.

Elizabeth’s brows were furrowed, and her expression was a mixture of regret and complexity. The household staff

huddled together, and their

expressions varied.

Chloe furrowed her brow “What’s going on?”

Yasmine was off to the side, engrossed in a newspaper. Elizabeth glanced up at her, ultimately heaving a sigh. “Cole

and Grace are dead.”

Chloe froze at the news

They were killed in the uprising at the border, Elizabeth added

The first thing that popped into Chloe’s mind was the conversation between Damon and Nate when they were

leaving the Harper’s Mansion just the day

before.

There would be no peace until…

This must have been it.

Chloe remained silent
