Chapter 159 A Heart Of Stone


    Chapter 159 A Heart of Stone


    "Get some rest! I need to go back," Brendon said as he picked up his phone. He had rushed back


    from Moon Mountain to be with Shannon, and now he felt a bit tired.


    "Brendon, please... But I''m scared. Can''t you stay with me?" Shannon bit her lip, her previously pale


    lips now showing signs of indentation. Her eyes looked misty and pitiable, a sight that was difficult to


    resist.


    Brendon nced at his wristwatch.


    It was already past 1 AM. Ranita should be asleep by now, right? Brendon thought about Ranita


    and found himself distracted.


    "Brendon, please... I''m begging you. Can''t you stay?" Shannon''s voice quivered with desperation as


    she saw Brendon lost in thought. Her red-rimmed eyes became even more watery, and her pleading


    expression was irresistible.


    Brendon pursed his lips and reached out to caress Shannon''s head. "I''ll make a call."


    He walked out to the balcony and checked his messages. There was no message or call from


    Ranita.


    "This woman has a heart of stone," Brendon thought.


    "Are you asleep?" Brendonposed a message but deleted it. Ranita usually slept around 11 PM,


    so she probably wouldn''t see the message at this time.


    Brendon called Caleb. "Caleb, where are you?" He had called Caleb when he was on his way back


    to Kurima and asked him to go to Moon Mountain Resort. By now, Caleb should have arrived.


    "I just got to Moon Mountain Resort. It''ste, so I didn''t want to disturb Miss Bowman. I''ll contact her


    in the morning. How is it going on Miss Murphy''s end?" Caleb inquired.


    Brendon pursed his lips.


    He said, "Shannon is stable, but we need to handle the media promptly. Other than that, there''s


    nothing else."


    Brendon didn''t like being talked about too much in public, so any news rted to him would be dealt


    with.


    "I''ve already had the PR department take care of it. But earlier, pictures of you and Miss Murphy


    entering the hospital were leaked by paparazzi. We can only try our best to handle it," he said.


    "Okay, I understand. You can go rest now," Brendon replied with a nod.


    Standing on the balcony with his hair blowing in the wind, Brendon looked up at the beautiful moon


    and felt regretful that he couldn''t share this moment with Ranita''s charming features.


    "Aiya!" Suddenly Shannon screamed out loud.


    Brendon quickly rushed back inside where Shannon was sitting on the floor surrounded by broken


    ss from a shattered cup she dropped while trying to drink water.

    "I''m sorry! It wasn''t intentional! I just wanted some water but I lost my grip and fell," Shannon


    sobbed softly as tears streamed down her face.


    "It''s not your fault; it was just one ss that broke! Get up quickly before you get hurt by any of


    these shards!" Brendon reached out his hand to help her up and she leaned into him for support.


    "Thank you so much Brendon. You''re really too good to me!" She bit her lip trying hard not cry


    anymore then smiled sweetly at him saying, "No wonder why I''ve always liked you most since


    childhood days."


    Brendon ordered someone to clean up all the broken pieces from floor then turned back looking at


    Shannon who still stared at him pitifully asking, "Were you calling Ranita just now? Is she still awake


    thiste?"
