Chapter 527 The Man’s Love Was So Suffocating
“You? You want to help Braden and me?”
Alina was stunned for a moment as if she had heard a joke. Then she snorted coldly,
“Shirley, do I look so stupid? Do you think I will believe your hypocritical nonsense?”
Shirley’s eyes were cold, and she retorted, ’Do you think you deserve me to lie?”
“What, what do you mean?”
“It means that if I really want to compete with you for Braden, you won’t even have the qualifications to play. There is no need to
play any tricks with you at all.”
“You!”
Alina gulped and was speechless for a moment.
Although she was angry, she couldn’t refute it.
Antwan looked at Shirley with mixed feelings and asked coldly, To what extent do you mean he gets better?”
“Well”
Shirley turned to look at Antwan. The two seemed to be having a tug of war, and then she said firmly, “At least he could protect
himself.”
Alina took a deep breath and reached out her hand to Shirley. “Although we are enemies, if you really want Braden to get better,
I can make peace with you.”
Shirley stared at Alina’s hand and didn’t intend to hold it. She said coldly, “There’s no need to make peace. Your calmness is the
greatest support for me.’
Alina’s face was flushed red. She swallowed her anger and said, “Fine. As long as Braden recovers, I’ll do anything.”
The two finally reached a brief moment of peace, and there was good news from the ward.
The attending doctor walked out with a relaxed smile on his face. “Don’t worry, everyone. Mr. Stewart is fine now. You should
make sure he rests more so that he can be happy and avoid irritating him.’
“Thank you, doctor.”
Alina clutched her chest and let out a long sigh.
It was obvious that she genuinely cared about Braden. Even though the man was almost disabled now, it could not stop her from
loving him deeply.
Shirley walked straight into the ward.
“Shirley, what are you up to again? You...”
Alina shouted from behind, trying to stop her.
“Come with me and we’ll talk.”
Antwan stood in front of Alina and ordered in a low voice.
“OK!”
Alina glanced at Antwan and immediately lowered her head again like a mouse saw a cat.
Antwan led her to the stairway. It was deserted and there were no surveillance cameras.
“Alina, are you crazy? How dare you say yes to that kind of thing?”
The man asked without any respect.
“What is it?”
Alina pursed her lips and pretended to be confused.
“How dare you join forces with her to make peace? Are you stupid enough to think that she will really help you and Braden?”
“I’ve never thought of letting her help me and Braden. I only want Braden to get better, just like her.”
“Hehe, get better?”
Antwan’s eyes were gloomy. He pinched her chin with his long fingers, raised it high, and mocked, “Now you know how to
pretend to be kind. Why didn’t you think of making him better when you advocated craniotomy, erased his memory of Shirley,
and transplanted the memory of Shirley saving him into yours?”
“I...”
“Both of us know that the craniotomy was just a cover to erase his memories of
Shirley and implanted you in his. You’ve now become the person that Braden trusts the most and loves the most. What else is
there to be dissatisfied with? Why do you have to get her involved?”
“Sorry, I was wrong, I, I didn’t think so much.”
Alina trembled as she admitted her mistake.
In the past, she was also an arrogant and domineering daughter of a wealthy family.
With her pride, she didn’t care about anyone except her beloved Braden.
But now, facing Antwan, she felt heartfelt fear.
On the one hand, he held too many secrets of hers, and she was afraid that he would retaliate.
On the other hand, it was also because the man was too sinister and crazy.
He could come up with such a terrible idea, such as craniotomy and memory transplantation. If she offended him, she would be
crushed to ashes in minutes!
Alina explained cautiously, “You saw what happened at that time. If I didn’t agree, she wouldn’t have let it go. She’s so smart. If
she finds out, you and I will be finished. I think it’s better to pretend to join forces with her and make her back down.”
“After all, Braden loves me so much now that even someone with a little self-esteem can’t bear it. Wouldn’t it be safer to make
her leave when heartbroken?’
These words finally made Antwan’s frown ease a little. He let go of her heavily, and there was a morbid excitement in his eyes.
“You’re smarter than I thought. When she’s heartbroken, I’ll like this point.”
Alina exhaled resentfully, knowing that she had finally escaped a disaster. She mustered up the courage and asked tentatively,
“You helped me like this not only because you want to use me to control Braden, but also to get the Stewart Group, right?”
“Of course!”
Antwan raised her eyebrows mutinously, “Getting the Stewart Group is just by the way. Getting her is my lifelong goal.’
Alina gulped as she felt a chill run down her spine.
The man’s love was so suffocating and perverted!
Braden was still unconscious in the ward.
Shirley stood next to the hospital bed, staring at him with deep eyes.
“Braden, I’m sorry. I didn’t know you’ve been through so much pain. Maybe it’s a good thing to forget me.”
Tears welled up in her eyes, and her vision gradually blurred. She choked, ’I swear, I will find a way to cure you. When you
recover, I will disappear from your life.”
Unbeknownst to Shirley, Braden had woken up.
The woman’s words confused him, but he didn’t open his eyes and pretended to know nothing.
In the next few days, Shirley and Alina had reached an unprecedented harmony. Alina allowed Shirley to stay by Braden’s side
and take care of his daily needs as a nurse. However, she did not allow Shirley to interact with Braden unless she had no other
choice.
“You know that Braden can’t be stimulated after a craniotomy. You’re special. You may be able to drive him crazy with just a word
or a move. Therefore, for safety reasons, you’re most like a transparent person and don’t show any sense of presence.”
Alina thought that, knowing Shirley as she did, she would certainly lose her temper under such harsh conditions.
Unexpectedly, the woman agreed readily, “No problem, I’ll treat myself as a mute.”
As a result, Shirley would experience some “heartbreaking” scenes from time to time..
