The Divorcee Who Shines novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127 Taking Care Of Both Ends

Brendon helped Shannon sit down properly before saying firmly, "Don't worry about these things anymore. Focus on getting better!" Then he remembered Ranita's indifferent face and said softly again, "... Ranita is strong-willed; she won't be angry over such trivial matters."

"Really? That would be great! As long as Ranita isn't mad!" Relief washed over Shannon as she spoke cheerfully once more, "... It isn't easy for someone like Ranita living alone in Kurima so we should take good care of her together!"

"When I'm discharged from the hospital, Brendon, please take me to visit Ranita! I'll thank her in person then." As she finished speaking, Steve knocked on the door and entered.

Steve greeted Shannon politely and gestured for Brendon to step outside for a chat. "Ranita had an accident," Steve said, pushing his glasses up with his index finger. "Have you gone to see her?"

"I came from her house," Brendon explained, sensing a hint of sarcasm in Steve's tone. "Shannon accidentally fell into the lake and ended up in the hospital, so I came to check on her."

"Hmm..." Steve paused for a moment before saying, "You seem busy taking care of both ends."

Brendon caught onto the slight mockery in Steve's words and remained silent for a few seconds before responding. "It's alright. Shannon grew up following us around like a little sister we spoiled rotten. She can be stubborn at times but she has a good heart deep down inside. Three years ago, I promised my grandfather that I would send her away from here as she was causing trouble between us."

Steve smirked slightly at Brendon's words and said knowingly, "I understand if you want to make it up to Shannon."

"As a friend, I won't do much until your relationship with Ranita is resolved. But in the future, I hope you'll understand," Steve paused and continued, "I looked at the medical records. Although Shannon fell into the lake, she was promptly rescued and only ingested a little water. Hospitals can be crowded and noisy, so it's better to rest at home."

In a subtle way, Steve indicated that Shannon wasn't in a very serious condition. He left quickly.
