Chapter 686: Chapter 686: Why is the Second Young Master doing this?

"Second Young Master!" Pullan saw that Lawyer Jones was about to take the young madam away and hurriedly called out to Brandon.

Brandon watched helplessly as Benjamin Jones picked up Abigail from beside him. His heart ached uncontrollably, but he didn’t move. Suddenly, Pullan called out, and Brandon reflexively tried to pull Abigail back, only managing to grasp her index finger.

Benjamin turned his head, looking at Brandon without saying a word.

Brandon opened his mouth to speak but, thinking about everything that had happened today, was overwhelmed. He was facing not only his mother’s crazed actions but also another faction besides the third branch. Keeping Abigail by his side was too dangerous.

Just thinking about Ruby Green aiming a knife at Abigail’s face and Johnson’s attempt to slice her throat with a dagger made him struggle to control his urge to destroy everything.

He didn’t dare imagine what he would do if the same thing happened again.

Rather than let Abigail continuously fall into danger because of him, it was better to let go now.

His wound was in his abdomen, but Brandon felt an uncontrollable heartache, as if he had a heart attack.

Pain.

His lover was like the third rib in his body, yet he had to personally remove this rib with a knife.

But if it meant that Abigail could stay away from danger and the filth of the Piers family, what was his pain worth?

Benjamin saw the pain and struggle on Brandon’s face, guessed the reason for his letting go, and suppressed his joy in his usually indifferent eyes. He reached out to slowly pull Abigail’s index finger from Brandon’s hand.

He admitted that he was taking advantage of the situation.

But having been a gentleman for nearly thirty years, Benjamin, for the first time, wanted to be a little despicable. He knew it clearly; this might be his only chance to have Abby.

He had missed Abby as Dr. Smith throughout his life, and now she had changed her appearance and identity and even became the mother of another man’s child. This was his only chance to reenter her life, maybe even her very existence, and Benjamin was very clear that he didn’t want to give up this opportunity.

Once Abigail’s finger was out of Brandon’s hand, Benjamin didn’t hesitate and carried her to his car, instructing his subordinate, "Open the door."

Brandon looked at his empty palm, took a while to lift his head, and saw Benjamin putting the unconscious Abigail in the car. Then, worried that Brandon might regret it, Benjamin ordered the driver to start the car.

Pullan was sweating profusely, "Second Young Master, how could you let Lawyer Jones take the young madam? What about you? What about Teddy?"

Thud...

Pullan was still rambling when he saw Brandon, who seemed to be standing firmly, suddenly collapse with a thud.

"Second Young Master..." Pullan shouted in shock and quickly rushed to help Brandon.

Getting Brandon into the car, Pullan instructed Kennan Max to wait for the police while he drove Brandon to the hospital at high speed.

They arrived at the Piers family-owned hospital, and Brandon was immediately sent to the emergency room.

Elder Piers hurried over, sweating profusely despite his age. Just then, the emergency room door opened, and he rushed up, "How is my grandson?"

"Second Young Master has panda blood; the blood bank is critically low!" The nurse who came out quickly responded before heading to the blood bank.

Elder Piers’ expression was very bad but steady. He quickly instructed Housekeeper Piers, who had come with him, "Go and gather those people right away."

"Elder Piers, I am Sophia Patel, an employee of the Piers family. I am RH-negative AB blood type, which is Second Young Master’s. Let me in," Sophia hesitated to mention the blood bank, wanting only to save him.

They had contacted her immediately after Second Young Master had an accident.

"Take her for an examination." Elder Piers looked at the slender, pretty girl and instructed the accompanying James Carter.

After a series of tests, Sophia was sent into the operating room.

After more than an hour of emergency treatment, Brandon was out of the operating room, but his complexion and spirits were still very poor.

Elder Piers rushed up, "Brandon, how are you?"

Brandon had been shot in the abdomen and had lost a lot of blood. Although his body had stabilized, the pain in his heart was indescribable. He weakly shook his head at his grandfather, "I’m fine."

After saying that, Brandon closed his eyes.

This scared Elder Piers. Seeing his grandson looking so forlorn, a horrible thought crossed his mind, "Abigail, she..."

"She will be fine," Brandon seemed to guess what Elder Piers wanted to ask, answering with his eyes closed.

But despite his words, Brandon was more worried about Abigail than anyone else.

Pullan hurried forward, "Second Young Master, Elder, the young madam is fine, but the doctor said her previous concussion was severe. This time she got knocked out again, and her head was injured. She hasn’t woken up yet, but it’s not a big problem. She just needs good rest."

Brandon’s expression didn’t improve, his mind repeating the phrase head injured and hasn’t woken up yet.

Elder Piers, however, breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as it’s not a big problem. I will go see Abigail now."

"Don’t go." As soon as Elder Piers lifted his foot, he heard Brandon command in a tone that allowed no argument. Puzzled, Elder Piers looked back at his grandson. Brandon repeated, "Don’t go."

"What happened?" Elder Piers looked worriedly at Brandon.

"I have decided to marry Bertha Swift. From now on, we have nothing to do with Abigail. Don’t disturb her anymore," Brandon said to Elder Piers without any extra expression on his face, as if he were talking about something insignificant.

Elder Piers was stunned, looking at his grandson’s expression, trying to find any sign of a joke. But there was none. Brandon was serious.

This thought made Grayson Piers uneasy, "Brandon, do you know what the consequences will be if you do this?"

"I know." Brandon smiled bitterly. How could he not know the consequences? But if he didn’t do this, Abigail might face the same dangers again. Just thinking about it terrified him.

And today, if he hadn’t rushed forward without hesitation, taking a bullet to subdue those people, Ruby’s knife might have already scarred Abigail’s face.

Nothing was more important than Abigail’s safety.

"Since you know, are you still going to do this?" Elder Piers felt heartbroken for the two children.

He could somewhat guess why Brandon was doing this. But precisely because he could guess, it made him feel even more heartache.

Brandon didn’t speak, just closed his eyes tightly, "Grandfather, you should go home and rest early."

He was starting to drive him away.

Elder Piers looked at Brandon on the sickbed with a heavy heart, "Brandon, grandfather is sorry."

If it weren’t for the mess he left behind, Brandon wouldn’t be facing today’s complicated situation.

Brandon closed his eyes as if he had fallen asleep, showing no intention of responding to Elder Piers.

Elder Piers looked embarrassed, "Brandon, Joshua has returned."

The person on the bed furrowed his brows. He had already guessed that if it wasn’t Joshua, who could have launched such a massive attack? This borrowing a knife to kill was exceptionally vicious.

After Elder Piers left, Brandon struggled to get out of bed. Pullan was very worried, "The doctor told you to rest more."

"I know," Brandon replied, covering his abdominal wound with his hand, whispering to himself, "I just want to take a look."

Pullan felt sad. Did it have to be this way?
