    Chapter 126 Compensation


    Brendon frowned and his expression became emotional.


    "Shannon..."


    "Brendon, I''m fine... I just got emotional, I''ll be okay in a bit!" Shannon looked softly at Brendon with


    a voice that was both teary and intentionally yful, making one feel ticklish inside.


    "Brendon, don''t be difficult. Last time was just an ident... you don''t have to carry the burden..."


    Shannon approached him boldly, pressing her body against his waist and even rubbing her chest


    against him.


    Brendon discreetly dodged away.


    "Shannon... about what happenedst time, I haven''t exined it clearly to you. I know using being


    drunk as an excuse is not eptable, and I should take responsibility. However, I am currently


    married and may not be able to give you an exnation. But I willpensate you in other ways."


    Brendon''s decision to divorce was indeed partly due to Shannon, but not entirely.


    Shannon''s heart grew cold as she stared at the tall man with innocent eyes. Though her expression


    was hurt, her words were reasonable and understanding. "Brendon... I won''t me you... you are


    still married to Ranita now, and I won''t ask for anything from you... and I also have a great


    responsibility."


    "Brendon, I don''t ask for anything. I just hope you won''t distance yourself from me," Shannon said,


    her eyes turning red. "I always feel like a burden to you."


    Brendon pursed his lips, reached out and rubbed her head, and made a nomittal "Hmm"


    sound.


    Without hesitation, she jumped into theke to get Brendon back. She struggled and choked on


    water, but all she got was this result. Shannon couldn''t ept it!


    Outside on the balcony, Brendon furrowed his brow as he listened to Caleb''s report. "Mr. Stuart,


    they found the person responsible for Miss Bowman''s car ident. The driver who rear-ended her


    is a middle-aged man named Frederick Powell. He fled the scene after the ident and was caught


    by police early this morning."


    "When they arrested him, he was sleeping in his room drunk," Caleb continued. "Based on his


    alcohol test and confession, police concluded that Frederick Powell had too much to drink and had


    hallucinations of chasing Miss Bowman''s car before crashing into it."


    Brendon listened with a raised eyebrow. "Did they investigate Frederick Powell''s personal


    rtionships?"


    "Yes," Caleb replied quickly. "He has no grudges or disputes with Miss Bowman nor any financial


    issues with her." After a pause, Caleb added, "Frederick apologized sincerely and offered to pay for


    her hospital bills and car repairs..."


    Brendon felt annoyed just as he was about to speak when suddenly there was a loud noise from


    inside Shannon''s hospital room.


    He turned around only to see Shannon sitting on the ground with teary eyes looking at him through


    the ss window.


    "Take care of that," Brendon put away his phone then helped Shannon up while asking, "What


    happened? Why are you so careless?"


    "I... I need to go use the restroom..." Shannon lowered her head in submission then asked softly, "...


    Were you talking with Ranita earlier?"


    "She''s injured, and there''s no one to take care of her... Brendon, maybe you should go back and


    take care of Ranita! I''m fine now. If you stay here, I''m afraid Ranita will be angry with me again."

    Shannon noticed that Brendon''s expression was a bit serious, so she immediately put on a helpless


    look and spoke with a pretended strength, "Without you, Brendon, I''m very sad, can''t eat or drink


    properly... But all of that doesn''t matter. I have Holly by my side, my aunt, and many other people


    taking care of me. You don''t need to worry about me."
