She gritted her teeth and plucked up her courage to speak word by word, &#8220;Six years ago, on my 18th birthday, Julian toasted me and it was Wendy who brought me a glass of wine. After I drank that, I didn&#8217;t wake up. Later&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She clenched her hands together in anger.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Then I found out that Wendy and Julian had put some drugs in the glass of wine. That night, a man barged into my room.&#8221; Audrey did not dare to look into Bryson&#8217;s eyes. She was afraid to see the disgust in Bryson&#8217;s eyes. &#8220;Later, after I woke up, Julian broke into my room and humiliated me in the presence of the media reporters. By then I realized I had been set up by them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was in the same night that my grandmother learned that there was something wrong with me, so she went out to look for me. In the end &#8230; she died in a car accident.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;From then on, because of that scandal, my dad sent me abroad and left me alone, but&#8230;&#8221; Audrey clenched her teeth, took a deep breath and continued, &#8220;Not long after that, I suddenly fainted and was sent to a hospital. When I was in hospital, I was diagnosed with an extrauterine pregnancy requiring an immediate surgery!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When Bryson heard the three words &#8220;an extrauterine pregnancy&#8221;, his pupils suddenly tightened, like bottomless black holes.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey gently placed her palm on the left side of her lower abdomen. &#8220;Since then, it left a scar on my left abdomen!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You should know that there is a scar here. It is not the scar of other operations, but the scar of an extrauterine pregnancy surgery.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After Audrey finished, she found her entire body sank into a wave of despair.<\/p>\n<p>From the beginning to the end, Bryson said no words. He should be &#8230; also very disappointed. After all&#8230; the woman he liked was actually defiled by another man and she even got an extrauterine pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p>She didn&#8217;t even know who the man was.<\/p>\n<p>This was why she had never dared to confirm it when she heard Bryson loved her after her bungee jumping.<\/p>\n<p>Would he &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>be like the boy in the square standing up and leaving without hesitation?<\/p>\n<p>However, after a long time, Bryson did not leave.<\/p>\n<p>There were no actions.<\/p>\n<p>But Audrey could feel that although Bryson did not speak or leave, his eyes were always looking at her. The strong sense of existence made her unable to ignore it.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey clenched her fists even tighter.<\/p>\n<p>What did Bryson mean by that? Just what was he thinking?<\/p>\n<p>When Audrey wanted to ask Bryson, Bryson suddenly opened his arms and threw his arms around her.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey&#8217;s heart did a flip.<\/p>\n<p>What did he mean?<\/p>\n<p>Bryson held her stiff body in his arms, his chin resting on her shoulder.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sorry!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You &#8230; Why do you say sorry to me?&#8221; Audrey was confused.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If I had known you earlier, I would have been able to protect you and not let anyone hurt you. I&#8217;m sorry!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A wave of warmth flowed into Audrey&#8217;s heart, and the tip of her nose turned sour.<\/p>\n<p>Although Bryson did not directly answer her, his behaviors already told her his decision.<\/p>\n<p>Her tearful eyes glazed him, &#8220;Don&#8217;t you &#8230; want to abandon me?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why should I abandon you?&#8221; With his face darkening, he said, &#8220;Six years ago, I was also set up by George. I was in a relationship with an unknown woman.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey suddenly looked up, &#8220;What did you say? Unexpectedly George&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Date, time and location were the same as those of his accident when he was set up by George six years ago.<\/p>\n<p>A thought flashed through Bryson&#8217;s mind.<\/p>\n<p>Could it be&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Bryson called George immediately.<\/p>\n<p>George just happened to break up with Nataly, while Nataly still wanted to draw a clear line with George as usual. He was in a bad mood, no wonder he got angry at Bryson when he got his call.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hey, why are you calling me now?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The stock of the SY Group seems to be rising steadily.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>From Bryson&#8217;s voice, George felt a hint of threat. He immediately became alert and raised all the hairs on his body.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What &#8230; what&#8217;s wrong? Do you lose your endocrine again?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Let me ask you something. You must tell the truth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Of course. If you ask, I will tell you the truth. Tell me what&#8217;s wrong?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That night six years ago, you drugged me&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Before Bryson finished his sentence, George immediately laughed and prepared to change the topic. &#8220;Ah, my phone&#8217;s signal suddenly seems to be unstable. Hello? Bryson, why can&#8217;t I hear you speak? Oh, I think I should change my phone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bryson sneered, &#8220;George, if you dare to hang up, the stock of the SY Group will slump as soon as the market opens tomorrow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>His words shocked George.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hum, it seems to have regained its signal.
