Chapter 46

When the man finished, Dylan’s cold, dark eyes swept over him. His voice was chilling. “Richard, rip his mouth off.”

Richard immediately stepped

ard after hearing his boss’s order.

The man had spoken without thinking, and Dylan’s words made his face pale. Before he could even beg for mercy, Richard had already ripped his mouth off.

As the man’s agonized scream sounded, the surrounding crowd gasped. They hadn’t expected Dylan to take action. Now, no one dared to make a move recklessly. Everyone obediently handed over their phones, afraid of angering the powerful Dylan and having to suffer the consequences.

Dylan declared, “Look into this. If I can’t find out who did this, no one leaves.”

At this moment, everyone could sense that the high and mighty prince of Northville was truly enraged.

The Roscente family looked grim as well. Such an incident, especially on a day like today, was clearly targeted at Audrey. But Audrey was already their daughter. Event though she was their goddaughter, the Roscente family treated her as their biological daughter.

“Brian? Brian, what’s wrong?” Phoebe suddenly noticed Brian’s pale face. His usually lively and mischievous eyes were now dark as he stared unblinkingly at where the videos and photos were shown. His small body trembled continuously. His hands were so tightly clenched that blood flowed from his palms.

Phoebe’s voice drew everyone’s attention. Before they could react, Audrey quickly reached Brian’s side. Her usually calm and indifferent cyes now showed a hint of urgency, her expression anxious.

Since Audrey’s return, she had always appeared cold and strong, seemingly unbreakable. Even when those photos and videos were revealed, she remained calm. But now, faced with Brian in such a state, her composure finally showed signs of cracking.

“Brian, take a deep breath,” Audrey said.

Hearing his mother’s gentle voice urging him to breathe deeply, Brian tried, but the

pain overwhelmed him. He could only bite his lip. Bright red blood trickled down from the corner of his mouth. His dark eyes were filled with pain.

“Mommy, I’m… I’m okay…” Though Brian was trembling with pain, he still tried to reassure Audrey.

“Mommy knows. Be good. Just hold on a little longer, and it won’t hurt anymore.” Audrey’s cold eyes were filled with heartache as she held Brian tightly. Then she looked at Phoebe. “I need to take hi his room.”

“Yes. Take him to his room now.” Phoebe and the others were also anxious, especially seeing Brian in such a state. It pained them deeply.

The six–year–old Brian shook in pain, his face deathly pale.

Dylan’s dark shrank. Brian’s condition reminded him of something. He immediately took Brian from Audrey’s arms, his voice tinged with urgency. “I’ll carry him.”

Dylan then swiftly carried Brian upstairs.

Audrey frowned but had no time to think, quickly following them. She instructed Phoebe and the others, “I need a set of silver needles.”

After hearing Audrey’s request, Phoebe hurriedly directed Andrew to find the needles. “Quick. Get the silver needles.”

Understanding the urgency,

Andrew quickly left.

Phoebe had already prepared a room for Audrey and Brian, and the servants promptly‘ opened the door to Brian’s room. Dylan gently placed Brian on the bed.

Brian endured the pain, his face turning, from pale to a translucent pallor. He bit his lip, holding back his cries, afraid to make Audrey sad. Not a single tear fell from his eyes, despite the agony. It made everyone around him feel heartbroken.

“Daddy…” Brian’s faint voice came, heard only by Dylan, who was holding Brian, and Audrey, who was standing close by.

The word made Dylan’s body stiffen. His eyes filled with suppressed emotions and grew. redder by the second. He gently stroked Brian’s head, his voice hoarse with infinite tenderness. “Daddy’s here. Daddy’s with you. Brian is the bravest

Dylan’s hoarse voice trembled slightly. His voice made Audrey pursed her lips. She watched as Dylan comforted Brian with a gentle voice, a tone none had ever heard from him.

But the word “Daddy” shocked everyone. However, despite their shock, they knew now was not the time to dwell on it. To prevent Brian from hurting himself, Dylan placed his hand in Brian’s mouth, letting him bite down on him.

Brian didn’t want to bite his father, but the pain was unbearable.

The onlookers saw blood drip from Dylan’s hand, but he didn’t make a sound and continued staying by Brian’s side. He finally understood why Audrey’s hand was injured. and why she had been so cold nd ruthless toward him, to the point of wishing he was dead. It was because Brian h. llen ill that night.

This illness existed only in the Clifford family. It was incurable and it meant the affected could live only until adulthood. This illness last appeared in Dylan’s grandfather’s generation. The afflicted only lived until he was fifteen years old.

With this in mind, Dylan’s lips tightened.

Just as Brian was about to pass out from the pain, Andrew rushed in with the silver needles.

“Everyone out.” Audrey took the silver needles, masked her emotions, and began telling everyone to leave.

Phoebe and the others, knowing Audrey’s medical skills, nodded. “Auddie, we’ll be right outside. Call us if you need anything.”

“Thank you, Godmother,” Audrey expressed her heartfelt gratitude. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Silly child, we’re family. No need for thanks, Phoebe said, feeling heartbroken, then. led everyone out.

Audrey’s cold gaze turned to Dylan. “You too, out.”

Audrey’s icy tone made Dylan’s pupils shrank. This was the first thing she had said to him tonight. Recalling the earlier photos and videos, Dylan suppressed his emotions. and withdrew his now numb hand from Brian’s mouth. “I’ll be right outside. Call me if you need anything.”

With that, Dylan left the room.

Without further interruptions, Audrey arranged the silver needles and began removing Brian’s clothes.

Outside the room, the gazes of the crowd when they looked at Dylan changed slightly.

Cade spoke first. “Boss, is Brian really your son?”
