Chapter 34: Bryan Had Dug into Shirley



Chapter 34: Bryan Had Dug into Shirley

Jordan had walked into the ward with some documents in his hand soon after Shirley had taken her

leave.

Bryan held back his smile when he had noticed Jordan’s presence, and he brought a pillow to himself

and placed it under his head as he asked, “Have you found anything?”

Jordan promptly placed the documents on the empty spot beside Bryan and picked up the file that had Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

been placed on top to pass it to Bryan, “This file contains Dr. Thomas’s personal information.”

“Dr. Thomas had not lived in America before this, and she was saved by Mr. Walker’s daughter, Ms.

Mildred, when she had jumped into the sea to commit suicide six years ago. Her ex-husband was a

gambler in France, and it could be said that he was a love swindler whom had cheated on her feelings

and money.”

Bryan’s brows were deeply furrowed when he had heard Jordan’s findings, and he promptly flipped

open the file that contained Shirley’s personal information which had been sorted out by Jordan.

There were more than ten couple photos of Shirley with her so-called ex-husband pasted in the file,

and it could be seen that the man’s features were indeed very similar to his. The only difference was

that the man had two dimples on his cheeks, plus he looked way more feminine, so it was natural that

the man was not as masculine and striking as Bryan.

The story of how Shirley had loved and gave herself for this man, and how her heart had been broken

and eventually dumped by him in the end while even being stabbed by the mistress in their relationship

which had caused her to choose to commit suicide out of despair and helplessness were all written at

the bottom of the file.

Bryan could hardly steel himself to finish reading her miserable past, hence he flung the file that

contained Shirley’s personal information away when he was just halfway through it.

This utterly foolish woman. Why did she commit suicide when she obviously knew that she had been

cheated on by that scum?

She was clearly a selfish woman as she did not even think it over for her two children’s sake.

If no one was there to save her when she had jumped into the sea, three lives would have been lost as

a result.

“What a dumb woman.” Bryan stared sullenly at the file that had been tossed by him towards the foot of

the bed.

Jordan shot a glance towards him and continued, “It seemed that she had found out about her

pregnancy after she was saved from drowning, so she had resolved to work hard by signing up for

psychology courses during her gestation period. She had even brought her kids around to participate in

various perfume competitions when she was supposed to undergo postnatal confinement after giving

birth, and all it took was two years for her to acquire her psychiatrist license and the gold standard

perfumer certificate. Dr. Thomas has been bringing up her kids on her own for the past few years after

that incident.

“Where is that man now?” How could that scum just leave those two lovely and adorable kids behind

like that? Wouldn’t his heart hurt at all?

“There are a few varied findings regarding his whereabouts.”

Bryan’s eyes swept past Jordan’s face after he had looked up at him.

Jordan hurriedly continue his reporting, “There’s a version which says that he has smuggled into Africa

and is living incognito there due to his enormous debts, while another version has pointed out that he

has been stabbed to death by those from the gambling houses.”

Bryan frowned and ordered in the next moment, “Continue digging into it. I want a clear-cut answer, not

just some kind of rumours.”

“Noted.”

On the other hand, Shirley had gotten a call from Mildred just when she had found Bryan’s doctor in

charge.

Mildred spoke in an extremely solemn tone after she had picked up the call, “Someone has infiltrated

our company’s network to extract a copy of your personal information recently, Shirley.”

Shirley’s footsteps were halted abruptly, and she promptly made her way to the stairwell after turning

around and leaving a few words with the attending doctor. After making sure no one was around, she

lowered her voice and asked cautiously, “Isn’t my personal information always been kept confidential all

this while? I remember there are also extra layers of protection to enhance the network’s security

defense system, right?”

“Yes, that’s true, but the invader has managed to hack into our network and steal a copy of your

information. However…” Mildred continued after a moment of pause, “Luckily, I have asked someone to

amend your personal information again when you’ve just returned to the country. Do you think that…

it’s the children’s father whom is digging into you?”

Shirley’s hands instantly went cold as she had informed Mildred before this that Bryan had come into

contact with her children, and it did not seem impossible for him to try to investigate her background

now that Mildred had brought it up.

Why was that man looking into her?

Was it due to his roused suspicion about her children?

“What does this man want?” Shirley slowly descended from the stairs as she let out her exasperation,

and the clickety-clacking sound of her high heels on the floor when she was walking was the only

sound that rang throughout the stairwell as she was the only one in there.

Mildred tried to offer her weighty advice in all earnestness and sincerity, “Do you really intend to not tell

him who you are at all, Shirley? If he knows that Sabrina has ruined your life and made you suffered

gravely six years ago, he definitely would not let her off the hook. Furthermore, the fact that he’s still

trying to find you all this while is proof that he almost certainly has feelings for you.”

“Mildred!” Shirley let out a muffled groan as she raised her hand to rub her forehead while uttering,

“Having the heart to find me does not mean that he has fallen for me or even loves me at all, and I

believe you’re also aware of his current circumstances whereby Sabrina has been by his side for the

past six years. To put it plainly, I won’t be here today if not for Sabrina’s perfume that has stopped

working for him, do you understand?”

In other words, it did not matter at all as to whom could stay at his side as long as that person could

help him to relax his mind and calm his nerves so that he could fall asleep like a normal person.

“Feelings can be cultivated over time, and the fact that he has been together with Sabrina for six years

and still not going into marriage with her only means that he surely does not have any feelings for her.”

Mildred was suddenly overcome with strong emotions as she continued in a persistent manner,

“Moreover, you have also told me these past few days that the way he treats your sister…”

“She’s not my sister.”

“My bad, I mean he has always given that damned woman the cold shoulder, and the Moore family’s

attitude towards her is also just ordinary like she’s a no one to them, so it seems likely that… those

rumors and news that have circulated outside which have reported them to be deeply in love with each

other are not trustable at all. I just don’t want to see you get hurt by yourself again.”

“Despite all of that, they won’t be the reasons for me to approach him.”

“What about the kids? What if they have grown to blame and resent you in the future if you keep on

being so insistent about not allowing them to meet their father? What’re you going to do about that?’

Shirley could feel that her heart had been stabbed by something at the mention of her children as she

furrowed her brows and sank into silence.

Mildred spoke in a grave tone and with all seriousness again, “I’ve looked into the Moore family’s

background, and it seems like Bryan’s grandmother does not mind the status or even the family

background of the woman whom should get married to Bryan at all as she could accept whomever into

the family as long as Bryan likes that woman. If his grandmother gets wind of the fact that you have

given birth to a pigeon pair for the Moore family, she will only favor you more. I really don’t understand

what your hesitations are.”

“Mildred…” Shirley did not like to hear these kinds of words coming from Mildred at all.

The reason for her return to her birth country was not to get herself into a marriage with Bryan.

“Try to think over my advice properly. I’ll hang up now as I still have some matters to attend to.”

“Alright.” Shirley’s mind was still fully occupied with Mildred’s words as they kept echoing in her mind

after she had hung up the call, and it was only after a long while that she had managed to adjust her

mindset and gather herself together.

In the following week, Bryan had turned the ward into his personal workroom as heaps of documents

had piled up beside his bed.

However, he would still listen to Shirley’s instruction even though he had to work during his recovery

period, and after a run-in period of one week as they tried to get along with each other, she was rather

satisfied with this patient’s performance.

Bryan’s injuries had almost fully recovered during his second week of hospitalization, but Shirley had

requested for him to stay hospitalized for another week as he still required more rests than usual due to

his bone-breaking injuries.

He was finally discharged from the hospital in mid-October, and he had been busy at work ever since.

Shirley could barely see him during the day due to his heavy workload, so her work hours would

normally start after nine p.m. as her job was to help him to fall asleep.

She would have to go the Moore family’s Splendour Manor sometimes for her work, while there are

times where she would need to be at his private villa.

There were, without a doubt, some conflicts between them as well during the process of helping him to

fall asleep as she would always find herself in his arms the next day after she had woken up when she

had slept in her own bed the night before.

Shirley did not dare to drift off to sleep again whenever she had to stay the night at his place hereafter,

hence she could only get some rest after returning to her own villa at dawn.

This had resulted in a drastic change in her daily schedule as her resting period was now eight in the

morning to three in the afternoon, and after picking the kids up at the kindergarten, making them dinner

and playing with them for a while, she had to go to Bryan again to be on duty at night.

Shirley was bathing the two children as usual after she had made some breakfast today.

She took them by their hands and went back to the room after their shower, and she brought out a dry

towel to dry off Emma’s hair.

However, her phone which had been placed on the table had rung at that moment.

Jacob trotted towards the phone and picked it up to peek at the caller ID, and he promptly turned

around and called out to Shirley shortly after, “It’s a call from Daddy, Mommy!”
