Chapter 276 Police Report
Sam witnessed the scene when he came in after Brendan. He saw the woman standing coldly and Brendan kneeling on the ground, his lips ghastly, his hand covering his abdomen, which was bleeding profusely.
“Mr. Brighthall!” He ran over to Brendan in a haste.
Deirdre held the knife and went running toward Brendan once again. “Brendan, you will atone for your crime in hell!”
“Ms. McKinnon!”
Sam roared and stepped forward swiftly to stop Deirdre, striking the knife out of Deirdre’s hand. It landed on the floor, and Sam was incredulous. “Ms. McKinnon! What are you doing?”

“Please calm down…” Sam did not care about anything but Brendan’s wound. It was a very deep wound, and the blood had drenched half of Brendan’s shirt. His expression was extremely unpleasant, and he hastily called 911.
Brendan’s breathing sounded weak, and he leaned against the end of the bed and looked weakly at the woman crying on the verge of a breakdown with bloodshot eyes.
The very moment she had swung the knife at him the second time, Brendan had discovered that Deirdre wanted him to die so badly.
In the end, he said slowly, “I’m sorry, Deirdre. I’m sorry that I didn’t manage to protect Ophelia.”
Deirdre stumbled to the ground with tears streaming down her face profusely. She could not feel anything other than regret, which coursed through her entire body. She shut her eyes and said, “Why did I get affiliated with you, Brendan? Why did I have to become your wife? I not only caused myself harm, but I also caused the death of my mother…
“If I could have a chance to restart in life, I would stay as far away as I could and never… be affiliated with you in any way!”
Pain was radiating through Brendan’s entire body yet it gathered on his wound when
he heard the woman’s resolute remark.
If he could, he’d return to the past and stop this calamity from happening. He wanted it more than anybody else.
They were in the hospital, so a stretcher was sent over quickly. Deirdre was still sitting on the ground when Brendan was placed on the stretcher. Before Brendan lost consciousness, he stopped Sam from following him.
“Check on her…” Brendan shut his eyes, his face already drained of color. He was afraid that Deirdre would suffer the same fate as Ophelia.
Sam stayed back in confusion, his hands still covered in blood. He returned to the pantry and found Deirdre still sitting in the same spot in a daze. She raised her head after hearing the commotion and said in a mocking tone, “Did Brendan send you to watch me and see if I die first?”
Sam removed his jacket and draped it over Deirdre’s body. “The floor is too cold. You must take care of yourself regardless. I think that’s all that Mdm. McKinnon would really care about.”
Deirdre trembled and wrapped the jacket around her body.

“What? Deirdre injured Brendan by stabbing him with a knife? For real?”
The servant answered, “It is absolutely true! The information came from the hospital, and many people witnessed the incident. The floor was covered in blood! Mr. Brighthall is still receiving emergency treatment now, and it’s hard to tell if he will make it!”
Charlene’s expression was unpleasant. She hastily asked, “Is his life in danger?”
“I’m not so sure about that, but it seems that his condition is quite serious.”
“That b*tch! She is still alive yet she is actually trying to kill Brendan!” Charlene flew into a great rage. Her eyes were bursting with maliciousness as she put on her jacket. “I will never let her off now that she did this! You, call the police.”
