She sat up in shock, clutching her chest, and nced at her phone to confirm the caller.


    “I’m not busy… Mr. Stuart, what do you need?” Ranita’s voicecked energy.


    And it was hoarse.


    “Are you sick?” Brendon asked in surprise, “We’re still within the contract period today.”


    To hell with the contract!


    She was sick, and this despicable man was still thinking about squeezing her!


    Ranita cursed Brendon a hundred times in her heart, and then coolly replied, “Mr. Stuart, I have something to do today and may not be able to apany you as a tour guide. I will have Brown contact you.”N?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    Ranita hung up the phone, sent a message to Brown, and continued to doze off.


    After a while, the doorbell interrupted her sleep. Ranita struggled to get up and open the door.


    As she opened the door, Ranita instinctively tried to close it.


    “Ranita!” In the next second, Brendon quickly blocked the door with his foot, panting as he said, “Let me in.”


    “No!” Ranita, pale-faced due to her illness, had a stubborn look on her face that was unusually vivid.


    In the past, Ranita rarely acted this way.


    Brendon squeezed through the crack in the door; he was physically strong, and Ranita couldn’t resist. In no time, he had entered her home and closed the door behind him.


    Brendon was holding arge bag in his arms. Familiarly, he walked to the dining table and started taking things out one by one, saying, “These are the medicines I bought for you. I didn’t know what you needed, so I bought a little of everything.”


    “These are breakfast items.”


    Ranita looked listless and hmphed after a while.


    Ranita had been exhaustedtely, and coupled with insomnia, she didn’t feel quite well when she woke up today. Based on her symptoms, it was probably just amon cold.


    She took some cold medicine, ate a bit of food, and crawled back into bed.


    “Aren’t you leaving?” Ranita looked at the man sitting by the bedside, raising an eyebrow. “Brendon, don’t waste time here. Go back home.”


    Brendon’s expression remained calm, and he suddenly patted the back of her hand. “A patient shouldn’t talk so much!”


    “Sleep!”


    “Brendon…” Ranita wanted to persuade him. What was he doing here every day? Nothing woulde out of it anyway, so why bother upsetting her.


    “Hush! No talking allowed!”


    Ranita was infuriated and turned over, closing her eyes to sleep.


    Perhaps due to the effect of the cold medicine, Ranita soon fell into a hazy sleep, but she didn’t sleep soundly. She seemed to hear Brendon speaking.


    The man’s voice was very low, “I have something to take care of, so I can’t go back.”


    “Shannon, don’t make a fuss. Caleb has already arranged for a doctor to see you. He will take you to visit the doctor!”


    “As for my mother, she will understand me.”


    By now, Shannon was infuriated to the point of vomiting blood.


    She had nned to announce her engagement to Brendon during Amiya’s birthday banquet, but Brendon didn’te back at all!


    Amiya did mention the news to the guests, but with the people involved absent, what was the point of her acting alone!


    What terrified Shannon even more was whether Brendon would remarry Ranita because of that illegitimate child.


    “Brendon… can you tell me the real reason? You’ve never been like this before!” Shannon asked pitifully, “Have you found Ranita? Although you’ve been with me these past few years… I know you hold grievances against me in your heart.”


    “But… I had no idea about her paternity test back then! Don’t me your mother either, she…” Shannon sobbed uncontrobly.
