Love Command: Darling, Do You Yield?-Chapter 169: The Secret from 10 Years Ago 3

An hour later, someone helped Lady Hyde up.

"Madam, Master has been found! They’re on the other shore, let me help you to see them!"

"Found?" Lady Hyde, surprised, grabbed the person’s hand excitedly, "Good, good, quickly take me there!"

Not far away, at another shore, a circle of people had already gathered. Someone was draping a blanket over Brandan Hyde, who was drenched in seawater, tightly holding Iris Harris, his face extremely pale.

"Brandan!"

Seeing Brandan Hyde, Lady Hyde burst into tears and hurried over, "Are you okay? Why are you so reckless!"

Brandan slightly lowered his head, looking at Iris Harris in his arms.

Iris Harris had fallen into a coma, her breathing was weak, and a small face hidden in her hair was pallid, almost bluish.

He held her tightly, still seemingly in shock, his fingertips trembling.

The moment he reached her as she fell, they were swept away by the waves, miraculously ending up on a nearby shore.

Brandan Hyde handed Iris Harris to the approaching nurses and then shook his head at the doctor coming to inquire, "I’m fine."

He was proficient in water, or he wouldn’t have been able to rescue Iris Harris.

He glanced at Lady Hyde and suddenly said, "Mom, are you hiding something from me?"

Lady Hyde was stunned, her reddened eyes turned towards him.

Brandan lowered his eyes, lost in thought, his face remarkably pale.

"Today she asked me why I broke my word," Brandan said softly, "Do you know what she meant?"

"..."

Lady Hyde hesitated, instinctively looking at Brandan, opening her mouth and then tightly biting down.

The secret she thought could be hidden from him for a lifetime.

Hidden from Iris Harris for a lifetime.

But now it seemed, ultimately it couldn’t be concealed.

"Brandan..." Lady Hyde said softly, "Let’s go back..."

Her tone sounded extraordinarily weak.

Brandan lifted his eyes, glanced at her, nodded lightly, and then followed the ambulances back to the hospital.

Iris Harris, having choked on water and with a frail body, had already been taken into the emergency room.

Lady Hyde stood outside the emergency room door, watching the red light above and cried endlessly.

She hadn’t expected things would come to such a pass.

Was it really a desperate gamble?

Trying to use life to make Brandan remember?

But... how could he possibly remember...

Lady Hyde bit her lip tightly, bowed her head, and wept silently.

She felt heartache for Iris Harris but also for Brandan Hyde. When she chose to hide the truth, she never thought things would turn out like this.

But, once Brandan knows the truth, can he accept it?

How did she mess things up like this... 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

She truly hated herself.

Brandan Hyde sat beside her, holding a cigarette but not smoking it, merely staring at the dim red dot.

The thin smoke swirled, making his features appear somewhat obscure.

Sometimes, Lady Hyde felt, perhaps he already understood something.

Just waiting for her to say it herself.

At midnight, Iris Harris was finally rescued from the emergency room and sent to the intensive care unit.

She already had acute leukemia, and now having fallen into the water, it was adding insult to injury.

The next twenty-four hours are critical.
