Chapter 31: Chapter 32: Take Her Home

Upstairs, Brandan received a call from Viola Harris, she said she had a fever and wanted him to accompany her to the hospital.

Brandan responded with a yes, but his brows furrowed with a touch of impatience.

Since that car accident, Viola’s health had been poor, frequently visiting the hospital.

Yet every time she went to the hospital, she always called him; sometimes even for a minor cold, she’d call him to leave the company, no matter if he was in a meeting or working.

However, Viola becoming like this was ultimately to save him, he felt guilty towards her and couldn’t ignore her.

After hanging up the phone, Brandan came down from upstairs; after a few steps, he heard his mother and Iris Harris’s voice.

The two were chatting.

"Iris," came Lady Hyde’s voice, "Tell me... Has Brandan been bullying you lately?"

Brandan paused and slightly squinted his eyes looking towards where Iris Harris was sitting on the sofa.

From his position, they couldn’t see him, but he could clearly see Iris Harris’s face.

What would she say?

Brandan lowered his gaze, focusing on Iris Harris’s face.

"Auntie, why would you think that?"

Iris’s voice carried a subtle surprise.

"I know my son’s nature, don’t I? His illness can only be cured by you... If he could marry you, I would naturally be delighted... But, regarding his attitude towards you..."

Lady Hyde couldn’t help but sigh again at this point.

Iris forcing him in this way, Brandan couldn’t possibly tolerate it?

Surely, when Iris couldn’t see him, he had fiercely retaliated.

She obviously sensed that Iris was physically weak recently, but didn’t know what happened between them; Brandan certainly wouldn’t tell her, so she could only ask Iris.

Iris lowered her lashes, and from Brandan’s direction, he could only see the silhouette of her profile.

Brandan slightly squinted his eyes, looking at Iris.

How would she speak of it?

Would she say he forced her, abused her, punished her harshly?

"...No." After a long time, Iris raised her head, her face remained calm with a smile as usual, "Auntie, don’t think that way. Brandan wouldn’t bully me. He doesn’t like me... but he wouldn’t bully me."

That sentence, it was unclear whether she said it for Lady Hyde to hear or for herself.

Brandan stood not far away, his fingers slightly clenched; he couldn’t tell what he was feeling deep down at that moment.

Thinking back, for so long, no matter how he bullied her, she seemed to have never complained to Lady Hyde.

Evidently, she knew that as long as she told Lady Hyde, he wouldn’t dare treat her that way...

But she never did.

Was it because she knew if she dared complain to Lady Hyde, he would resent her even more, or was it because she couldn’t bear to make Lady Hyde angry at him? Everyone knew he respected his mother the most.

Upon hearing this, Lady Hyde slightly nodded and smiled, "That’s right. Although Brandan has a bad temper, he isn’t the type to bully women."

Brandan strode down, and the two on the sofa stopped talking upon hearing the noise.

"Brandan, it’s getting late; you should take Iris home."
