A Successful Career After Divorce

Holly screamed, her voice rising when she heard the word “remarry”.

She exclaimed, “Ranita must be dreaming!”

“My brother will never remarry you!”

Eve sneered, “Holly, this is between Brendon and Ranita. As his sister, what right do you have to interfere with their freedom of love?”

“We have to go in today, move aside!”

Holly blocked the doorway, refusing to let them pass. She widened her eyes and scolded loudly, “Eve, this is between Ranita and us. What right does an actress like you have to meddle?”

“Shannon calls you ‘senior,’ but I don’t acknowledge it!”

Ranita felt anxious in her heart. “Holly, let me in! I want to see Brendon!”

Inside the hospital room, Shannon calmly listened to the commotion outside, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes.

She didn’t notice that the person lying on the hospital bed had opened his eyes a crack at some point.

Brendon’s mind was a bit hazy, but he didn’t miss Shannon’s gaze. It was the first time he had seen that expression on Shannon’s face – smug and tinged with disdain, completely different from her usual innocent appearance.

When Shannon looked over, Brendon immediately closed his eyes. But just as he closed them, he heard Holly’s scream and Ranita’s anxious voice coming from outside the room.

Brendon couldn’t pretend to be asleep anymore. He opened his eyes and met Shannon’s gaze. She froze for a moment, her eyes immediately welling up with tears of joy. “Brendon, you’re awake!”

Saying that, Shannon threw herself onto him. Brendon wanted to dodge, but his body couldn’t move, so he ended up being caught off guard. The sweet scent of perfume on the woman overwhelmed him, causing him to furrow his brows involuntarily.

Outside the room, everyone quieted down upon hearing the commotion. Holly immediately pushed open the door and rushed in, followed by Ranita who was worried about Brendon.

At first glance, Ranita saw Brendon and Shannon embracing each other.

Her heart felt like it was soaked in lemon juice – sour and bitter.

But seeing Brendon awake made her happy, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Before long, the doctor came.

It was a good thing that Brendon woke up. After the examination, the doctor gave some instructions for care and left.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Shannon played the role of a hostess and politely saw off the doctor. She looked at Ranita with a soft gaze and said, “Ranita, Brendon is awake now. You can rest assured.”

“Let’s let Brendon rest well.”

“Yes, you should take your son and leave quickly. Don’t disturb my brother’s rest,” Holly said impolitely.

Ranita held Ayaan’s hand, and Ayaan looked at Brendon with longing in his eyes, his eyes turning red as he called out, “Daddy.”

Brendon was in pain all over his body, but what made him even angrier was Holly’s attitude. He wasn’t dead yet, but Holly dared to bully his wife and child.

“Ranita… come here…” Brendon’s gaze fixed on Ranita, his brows and eyes weary, indicating that he must be very tired.

Upon hearing this, Ranita was deeply moved.

Ranita took a few steps forward but was stopped by Holly. “Ranita, you’re not allowed to come over! It’s all because of you that my brother ended up like this. You’re not welcome here.”

“Holly, let her come,” Brendon breathed slightly, his voice not loud but full of authority, making Holly feel extremely wronged.

She stomped her foot in dissatisfaction. “Brother…”

“Brendon, you’ve finally woken up. Let’s take care of ourselves first…” Shannon certainly didn’t want Ranita to get involved, but before she could finish her sentence, Brendon gave her a cold look.

That gaze was truly icy and heartless, causing Shannon’s heart to tremble.
