You're The Best Medicine For Me

Chapter 21: The War to Reclaim the Cute Babies

Shirley dashed forth with her eyes reddened as she hugged Jacob and roared, “Let go of the child.”

Despite that, the moment she just managed to get in contact with the child’s clothes, the man stepped

back with the child in his arms. His expression was grim, “Stop it.”

Shirley contracted her pupils and felt an unprecedented fear spreading in from her feet to her heart

after hearing his simple words. In the end, he was here… to snatch her child.

“Bryan, don’t lay your hands on him. He belongs to only me. Let him go.” She flew forward and had her

hands around Jacob while her other hand flung towards him.

With a loud slap, this came as an utter shock to Bryan who had never experienced such humiliation for

the past twelve years and his whole body became rigid.

He lowered his gaze and discerned that this pale-looking woman with messy hair was none other

than… Shirley.

He immediately knitted his brows and the aura on his body remained abundant. He uttered this coldly,

“You dare to…?”

Hit him!

After returning to the Moore family, there was no daredevil who would even lay one finger on him. This

woman really went all out and did this to him.

Shirley pushed him away with force and she retreated rapidly with Jacob in her arms.

Shirley who had retrieved her child was shaking uncontrollably.

In the past six years, it was this pair of son and daughter who had given her courage to carry on. If this

man wanted to snatch away her last ray of hope too, then she would lose all her reasons on how to

carry on with her life.

With Jacob in her arms, she didn’t dare to even sneak a glance at Bryan as she marched forward while

declaring, “The deal between us has come to an end. I will leave China tomorrow, and you better find

yourself a new psychologist.”

The methods of revenge he could exact on Shirley were one too many. When he couldn’t get his way

this this time, he would employ another method the next time around.

However, before she reached the green view, Jacob who was residing in her embrace pointed in

Bryan’s direction as he said with a trembling voice, “Mummy, he…”

“Bang!” Before Jacob could continue, there was a sound resembling something heavy crashing to the

ground.

Shirley stopped short in her tracks as she spun around to take a look.

That man had unexpectedly stumbled by the road as one of his hands was clutching his chest. There

was a grimace on his face.

At that time, Shirley realized that his left arm was bleeding, which dyed his sky blue colour clothes in

blotches of red.

She was frozen on the spot.

Jacob saw that she finally stopped being anxious, and he started to explain, “Mummy, daddy is not

trying to take us away from you. He doesn’t even know that I am his son, and Emma and I happened to

bump into him. He is probably looking for you and wants you to continue being his psychologist.

Mummy…”

Shirley furrowed her brows sternly as she glared at Jacob, “Then, why are you trying to hide this from

me? If I didn’t discover Emma stealing the first-aid kit, what are you planning to do tonight?”

“I…” Jacob lowered his head and a slight wrinkle formed on his forehead. He looked anguished and

wronged.

He… just wanted to spend some time with daddy, but of course, he wouldn’t just tell Bryan that he was

his son.

“Mummy, don’t you miss daddy? If he’s dad, or if there is something wrong with his body, the people of

the Moore family wouldn’t let you go. I am just scared that there will be more troubles waiting for us.”

Jacob said carefully.

Naturally, Shirley would have thought of this too. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

But what could she do?

Bryan had discovered that there was a child who took after him a lot by her side. Even though he might

not suspect anything at the moment, what about after some period of time when they got more and

more familiar with each other?

However, she couldn’t solve anything by leaving either.

Even if she was not in China, if he wanted, he could search for her in America too and come for her

child.

“What have you told him?”

“I said, ‘Sir, you look like my dad.’ And he seemed to believe me.”

She returned her gaze to Bryan with a slight glint in her eyes. Secretly, she let out a sigh of relief.

She carried Jacob and hurried back to the villa and handed him to Cameron. She then warned sternly,

“Go back first to the second floor. When I am done taking care of matters here, I will come for you.

Tonight, you will sleep alone, Cameron will send you to the kindergarten tomorrow morning.”

“Mummy, I got it.” Jacob studied her demeanour and knew immediately what his mother was about to

do. Therefore, he obediently nodded.

“Cameron, I have an urgent matter here, so I implore you to look after the two of them.” Shirley looked

up at Cameron with gratitude in her eyes.

Cameron revealed his dimples as he held Jacob’s tiny hand, “Shirley, go ahead with your stuff. I will

send them to the kindergarten safely tomorrow morning.”

“Alright, if they are misbehaving, just call me.” She looked up at the window on the second floor, and

her other child was leaning against the French window and squinting at her direction. She shot a glare

at Emma and this caused the little fellow to pull the curtains over the window.

When Shirley drove to the where she used to be, Bryan was no longer there, but the spot where he

used to be in was now a pool of blood.

She really hated this man. Why did he loiter in the streets late at night instead of sleeping?

What bothered her was the fact that he seemed to be in great pain when she pushed him.

Was he injured somewhere?

What had actually happened to him?

After traversing some distance, she reached the main entrance of the villa area. The car lamps were

shining brightly on the gate.

There was a black sports car parked to the left of the area.

Bryan had reached where his mutilated sports car was parked, but he was covering his chest and he

was staggering wildly. He then placed his hand on the car door.

Shirley watched his car which looked like it had experienced a serious accident and then shifted her

gaze to his injury, and she finally understood how he ended up in such a state.

The entrance of the villa opened, and Shirley stopped her car and offered, “Bryan, get in.”

Bryan turned his head and stared at her without interest. Then, he shut the door of his sports car and

walked towards Shirley.

He got into the passenger’s seat on his own.

Shirley examined his forlorn state and his wounded body and found that there was a huge wound on

his elbow, and there was still fresh blood soaking his clothes. However, his expression told her that he

somehow was immune to the pain as he simply allowed the blood to spread across his clothes.

“Why did you end up like this? Why did you come to the Spennor Residence while you should be

sleeping?”

“Why are you asking while you know the answer?” Bryan didn’t even look at her as he settled in the

passenger’s seat.

Shirley took in a deep breath as she told herself to calm down, or else she wouldn’t be able to finish

what she had come here for. She might even drive herself crazy in the process.

She settled back into the driver’s seat and opened her back and took out a perfume bottle which could

calm her down. She placed it in front of her.

A faint fragrance slowly permeated in the air. This particular fragrance was different from the one she

had used on him today!

She started the engine and said, “I’ll send you to the hospital now. Rest in the car first. When we arrive,

I will ask for some medical personnel to attend to you.”

Bryan looked outside the window but the glass reflected Shirley’s figure. Her side-profile brought out

her feminine side and Jacob’s voice suddenly appeared in his mind.

“Daddy has been together with a bad woman, and mummy has suffered a lot because of him. He never

cares about mummy and me and my sister.”

“You have a daughter?” His hoarse baritone sounded right by Shirley’s ears.

Her hand which was holding the steering wheel tightened, “That’s none of your concern. Stop asking

about that!”

Bryan frowned and felt frustrated at how Shirley had been treating him.

He turned around to face Shirley as he asked in an equally stony voice, “Where is the father of those

children?”

With a loud hissing sound, the car was screeching in the middle of the night…
