Chapter 402


    Bryson looked at Audrey with a smile, full of love in his eyes.


    "Tell me!"


    Audrey clenched her fists tightly. She gritted her teeth and plucked up her courage to speak word by


    word, "Six years ago, on my 18th birthday, Julian toasted me and it was Wendy who brought me a


    ss of wine. After I drank that, I didn''t wake up. Later..."


    She clenched her hands together in anger.


    "Then I found out that Wendy and Julian had put some drugs in the ss of wine. That night, a man


    barged into my room." Audrey did not dare to look into Bryson''s eyes. She was afraid to see the disgust


    in Bryson''s eyes. "Later, after I woke up, Julian broke into my room and humiliated me in the presence


    of the media reporters. By then I realized I had been set up by them."


    "It was in the same night that my grandmother learned that there was something wrong with me, so she


    went out to look for me. In the end ... she died in a car ident."


    "From then on, because of that scandal, my dad sent me abroad and left me alone, but..." Audrey


    clenched her teeth, took a deep breath and continued, "Not long after that, I suddenly fainted and was


    sent to a hospital. When I was in hospital, I was diagnosed with an extrauterine pregnancy requiring an


    immediate surgery!"


    When Bryson heard the three words "an extrauterine pregnancy", his pupils suddenly tightened, like


    bottomless ck holes.


    Audrey gently ced her palm on the left side of her lower abdomen. "Since then, it left a scar on my


    left abdomen!"


    "You should know that there is a scar here. It is not the scar of other operations, but the scar of an


    extrauterine pregnancy surgery."


    After Audrey finished, she found her entire body sank into a wave of despair.


    From the beginning to the end, Bryson said no words. He should be ... also very disappointed. After


    all... the woman he liked was actually defiled by another man and she even got an extrauterine


    pregnancy.


    She didn''t even know who the man was.


    This was why she had never dared to confirm it when she heard Bryson loved her after her bungee


    jumping.


    Would he ...


    be like the boy in the square standing up and leaving without hesitation?


    However, after a long time, Bryson did not leave.


    There were no actions.


    But Audrey could feel that although Bryson did not speak or leave, his eyes were always looking at her.


    The strong sense of existence made her unable to ignore it.


    Audrey clenched her fists even tighter.


    What did Bryson mean by that? Just what was he thinking?


    When Audrey wanted to ask Bryson, Bryson suddenly opened his arms and threw his arms around her.


    Audrey''s heart did a flip.


    What did he mean?


    Bryson held her stiff body in his arms, his chin resting on her shoulder.


    "Sorry!"


    "..."


    "You ... Why do you say sorry to me?" Audrey was confused.


    "If I had known you earlier, I would have been able to protect you and not let anyone hurt you. I''m


    sorry!"


    A wave of warmth flowed into Audrey''s heart, and the tip of her nose turned sour.

    Although Bryson did not directly answer her, his behaviors already told her his decision.


    Her tearful eyes zed him, "Don''t you ... want to abandon me?"


    "Why should I abandon you?" With his face darkening, he said, "Six years ago, I was also set up by


    George. I was in a rtionship with an unknown woman."


    Audrey suddenly looked up, "What did you say? Unexpectedly George..."


    "That''s why I''m not much nobler than you!" Bryson wrapped Audrey in his arms and gently stroked her


    back. "We ... are even."


    Audrey, "..."


    Bryson couldn''t have said it on purpose tofort her, could he? How could they both be so


    coincidentally drugged six years ago?


    Audrey hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "But I cut off a fallopian tube in my surgery, so


    I''m afraid it will be difficult for me to get pregnant again."


    "I don''t like children, so it''ll save me a lot of trouble." Bryson held Audrey''s face and looked at her


    lovingly, "This is why you were unwilling to ept me back then?"


    Audrey''s eyes were slightly hot, and she did not speak.


    Bryson lowered his head when tears were dripping from the corners of her eyes, and he took her in his


    arms.


    At that time, they didn''t need to say anything.


    Out of the park, Bryson brought Audrey to dinner. After dinner, Bryson sent Audrey home.


    Just as he left the elevator downstairs, Bryson went into a sulk.


    He picked up his phone and made a call.


    "Hey, help me to investigate an important thing immediately."


    Bryson had just returned to the study of the Cordova Mansion when he received a message on his


    phone.


    It showed the location, time and everyone who attended the dinner party on the night of her birthday six


    years ago.


    Because she had a lunar birthday, the date of the Gregorian calendar on her lunar birthday was almost


    different every year.


    Six years ago, there happened to be a leap month, so the date of her lunar birthday that year was a


    monthter than the date of this year''s calendar. That was to say, it''s at the end of July.


    Looking at the date, thinking of her birthday dinner as well as the hotel where Audrey had her ident,


    he got the oddest feeling.


    Date, time and location were the same as those of his ident when he was set up by George six


    years ago.


    A thought shed through Bryson''s mind.


    Could it be...


    Bryson called George immediately.


    George just happened to break up with Nataly, while Nataly still wanted to draw a clear line with


    George as usual. He was in a bad mood, no wonder he got angry at Bryson when he got his call.


    "Hey, why are you calling me now?"


    "The stock of the SY Group seems to be rising steadily."


    "..."


    From Bryson''s voice, George felt a hint of threat. He immediately became alert and raised all the hairs


    on his body.


    "What ... what''s wrong? Do you lose your endocrine again?"


    "Let me ask you something. You must tell the truth."


    "Of course. If you ask, I will tell you the truth. Tell me what''s wrong?"


    "That night six years ago, you drugged me..."


    Before Bryson finished his sentence, George immediatelyughed and prepared to change the topic.


    "Ah, my phone''s signal suddenly seems to be unstable. Hello? Bryson, why can''t I hear you speak?


    Oh, I think I should change my phone."


    Bryson sneered, "George, if you dare to hang up, the stock of the SY Group will slump as soon as the


    market opens tomorrow."


    His words shocked George.


    "Hum, it seems to have regained its signal. Bryson, you can ask whatever you


    want!" lightnoveldaily
