Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

Chapter 1463 Prick

Seeing the state Brandon was in, Ellie felt slightly irked and thus could not stop herself from saying those words.

Just as she stopped speaking, the man scouring through the trash below the bed turned to glare at her. That

murderous gazes and horrifying aura were equivalent to that of a devil from hell.

“You didn’t go and look for Willow, right?”

“W-What?”

“You better pray that nothing happens to her; otherwise, I’m not going to let you off!”

He gritted every word through his teeth in disdain.

That gaze of his was as if he wanted to devour her alive.

Panic-stricken, Ellie stood there frozen, with her face drained of all colors. Just as she was about to say something,

the man’s phone suddenly rang.

“Hello?”

“Greetings, Mr. Emmanuel. We’ve run a check with the information you’ve provided and found that there was a

pregnant lady who resembled the photo you provided. Apparently, she left Avenport by Frankel Express about five

months ago. Unfortunately, we regret to inform you that after she dropped off at Baykeep, we could not gather any

more new information.”

A polite voice sounded from the other side of the call. Ellie shivered uncontrollably after hearing that.

Frankel Express was the choice of transport that celebrities in the entertainment industry would use since they were

well-known for avoiding paparazzi.

Back then, Ellie had also managed to trace Willow’s footsteps through the same service, but she kept it a secret

from everyone else.

Since they had progressed to that point, it was not too difficult for them to track down Willow’s whereabouts. Things

would become crystal clear as long as they direct their investigations following that lead.

Beads of cold sweat rolled down Ellie’s face. Finally, she brought herself to put forth the words in her mind. “B-

Brandon, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you the truth back then. I-I was afraid that you’ll be affected…”

“And then?”

The man hung up the call and cast a death glare at her, leaving the latter at a loss for words.

It took her yet another moment before she mustered the courage to enunciate her words. With an ashen face, she

stuttered, “I-I did it all because I wanted the best for you two. A-And so after she arrived at Smallpoint, I-I…

arranged for her to admit into a hospital…”

“Hospital?”

“Y-Yeah… I thought it’s better to let her have a good rest since she’s eight months into her pregnancy. I wanted to

tell you only after you finished filming, but when I went back there to look for her, I found out she was not at the

hospital. I-I have no idea where she went after that.”

Ellie finally revealed what had happened.

By the time she concluded her statement, she was already trembling so much that she could barely stand up

straight.

Brandon stood up.

He had a notebook in his hand that he had spent the whole day searching for. It was a diary that Willow had left

behind.

Inside, she recounted how she was sick and would frequently have hallucinations.

Brandon threw a tight slap toward Ellie’s face.

“Just wait! I’ll make you pay for what you’ve done!”

Finishing that, he left the apartment.

News spread very quickly. Two days later, almost everyone learned that Brandon had found out about the matter.

Besides the George family, even those living far away at Jadeborough like Sasha and Sebastian had been informed.

Ichika: What should we do? He has found her grave and has even stayed there the whole night. What now?

Both Sasha and Sabrina did not know how to react to that message.

Devin: This spells trouble.

Everyone else stayed silent, too.

After all, like what Willow had mentioned, it was because of her that everything had happened between them.

Brandon was thus in no wrong.

He had never loved her; it had always been a one-sided love where she barged into his world and pestered him

shamelessly.

To put it plainly, Brandon’s mean attitude toward her was what she deserved. Hence, she had no one to blame.

Even so, Brandon still brought Willow home after learning that she was pregnant back then. That was on the

account that he had no love for her. That alone was enough to prove that Brandon was, at the very least, not bad

to the bone.

No one, including Sasha, could say anything. All she did was stay silent as she watched how things developed.

A week later, at Hillside Villa, Solomon and Ichika finally saw the superstar, allegedly reported missing by multiple

articles online, appearing before their house.

“I-I… want to see the child.”

The man, in simple clothes, had become a lot skinnier. He had even dyed his blonde hair back to black. His

appearance looked just like someone who had just recovered from a serious illness. Standing at the door, he had

his eyes glued toward the inside of the house.

Solomon pursed his lips.

Nonetheless, he still opened the door to let him in.

In the living room, Ichika stood there nervously. As she watched Brandon walk toward her, she carefully passed the

baby over to him.

“B-Be gentle. She has just fallen asleep,” she gently reminded.

As Brandon reached his arms out, he trembled a little.

The baby was so tiny in his arms that he was afraid any bit of strength would cause her pain.

He trembled even more after carrying the baby over as he realized how she looked so much like him.

The child slept quietly in his embrace, and all of a sudden, she smiled—perhaps of a sweet dream,

It was that moment when Brandon realized that she was a spitting image of Willow!

Tears trickled down his face uncontrollably.
