Chapter 632
After the press conference, Brandon didn’t take Janet straight home.
Instead, he drove all the way to the cemetery again. The two went to Sylvia’s grave together.
Brandon had also brought the cake that his mother was fond of.
“Mom, I’ve finally avenged you and cleared your name.” Brandon knelt down and carefully placed the cake in front of the grave.
With a gentle look on his face, he touched her photo on the tombstone and murmured, “After this, Janet and I, we’ll go to Barnes and we won’t come back too often in the future. I’m sorry.”
Janet knelt down next to him and held his arm, looking at Sylvia’s picture. “Brandon and I are very happy now. The guy who hurt you in the past is now behind bars.”
Just then, a cool breeze blew past the cemetery, washing over the two refreshingly. It was as though this was Sylvia’s gentle response.

Right when they got home from the cemetery, Janet began to pack their things.
Brandon put his hand on her suitcase and stopped her gently. “There’s no hurry. We still have another day before you have to go back to work, right? There’s something very important we have to do first.”
“What is it? Does it have anything to do with the Lester family?” Janet looked up at him anxiously.
Brandon’s eyes took on a different light. He pulled Janet towards him, got close to her ear, and whispered softly, “Laney and Tasha are both expecting babies. Don’t you want one too?”
Hearing this, Janet blushed, lowered her head, and murmured shyly, “But I want to keep working.”
Truth be told, when she found out that Laney was pregnant, something sparked in her heart.
“I know you want a baby,” Brandon said with a smile. “We can just let nature take its course. Now that your work is stable, there’s no reason we can’t have one. I think our child will be very cute!”

The two of them were naked in bed, making love, when the phone suddenly rang.
“Oh, it’s the healthcare worker who takes care of Hannah. Brandon, I have to take this.” Blushing slightly, Janet pushed Brandon gently. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
She had wanted to take Hannah to Barnes, but the latter was used to life in the village and didn’t want to leave, so Janet hired a healthcare worker to look after Hannah.
The voice of the caregiver from the other end of the line was anxious. “Mrs. Larson, Hannah’s condition is deteriorating. She’s afraid that you’d worry about her, so she asked me not to contact you. But I didn’t think that was a good idea, so I called. Can you take her to a hospital in the city some time?”
Hearing about Hannah’s situation, Janet instantly lost her appetite for sex.
She asked Brandon to get off of her and quickly got dressed.
“Hannah’s health is getting worse. I have to take her to the hospital right away. And about the baby… Let’s talk about it when I come back.” With an apologetic smile, Janet buttoned her clothes and bent over to kiss Brandon on the lips.
“Be careful on the road. I have a meeting in Barnes tonight. I’m sorry I can’t go with you. I’ll arrange a driver to take you there.” Leaning against the wall, Brandon eyed Janet with lingering lust.
With her coat and bag in tow, Janet hurried out of the room as she said, “It’s okay. I can go there by myself. Don’t worry. I’ll be back as soon as I get Hannah.”
After leaving the house, she headed for the countryside.
It was very sultry in the summer in Seacisco, and the mornings felt like a sauna. In the afternoons, however, there were often thunderous rainstorms.
As soon as the car reached the mountain road, the wind outside started to howl, indicating the rainstorm to come.
“The weather’s really fickle out here,” the driver looked at the sky outside the window and couldn’t help but complain.
After living in Seacisco for so many years, Janet was already used to the fickle weather. So she just reminded the driver, “Drive carefully.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she looked ahead and saw a huge boulder on the cliff in front of her suddenly rolling down the hilled—and it was coming straight at them!
