After Divorce, I Returned as the Army's Queen novel Chapter 147

Chapter 147 You’re Not Pregnant, Are You

Was it because Brian was older now? Or was it some other reason?

The only thing Chloe could glean from William was that Brian had once accidentally smelled the same perfume three years after Emily’s death. He’d lost control then too.

They’d thought it was pure coincidence at first, but then they realized that he always reacted the same way whenever he smelled that perfume.

A psychiatrist had diagnosed it as a psychological issue, but even after half a year’s treatments, Brian hadn’t shown any improvements.

The Steeles had then acquired the perfume company and destroyed the formula.

No one had ever expected Willow to have such a perfume in her possession!

Meanwhile, Chloe seemed to have gained more understanding about Willow’s motive behind spraying that perfume on herself.

It seemed like Willow hadn’t expected Brian to lose control and choke her to neardeath

instead of seeking her embrace.

As night fell, Chloe looked at the time. Brian had fallen asleep after being sedated, and more than six hours had passed since. According to the doctor’s instructions, Brian would likely wake up in another two to three hourstime.

Just as Chloe was about to wash up, Brian suddenly moaned in pain in the hospital room.

Don’tDon’t leave me alone, pleaseI beg youDon’t leave me behind

Chloe stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at Brian. He hadn’t woken up. His eyes were tightly shut, but unlike earlier, his brows were now knitted together. His head moved slightly, as though he were having a nightmare.

Chloe went to the bedside and saw that Brian’s face was now covered in a sheen of sweat. She raised a hand to help him wipe it away.

But just when Chloe was about to touch his forehead, his eyes suddenly flew open to stare right at her.

Chloe was shocked.

In an instant, Brian swiftly grabbed her wrists.

Chloe’s vision swam. The next thing she knew, Brian was pressing her flat onto the hospital

bed. His knees flanked her sides while his hands pinned her wrists down on the mattress.

Chloe’s brows knitted together. She was about to shove Brian off of her when she noticed that his eyes were unfocused even though he was staring right at her. He was panting harshly too.

In fact, Brian’s hands seemed to be trembling around her wrists. It was almost as if he were terrified.

But what was he terrified of?

Don’t leave meIt’s so darkI’m so scaredBloodThere’s so much bloodBrian whimpered helplessly like a child.

Chloe suddenly recalled her earlier conversation with William.

Had Brian still not recovered after being triggered by the perfume? He still seemed to be caught in a nightmare and hadn’t fully woken up yet.

go of my hands first, Brian. I’ll get the doctor to check up on you,Chloe said gently.

No, I don’t want to let you go. You’ll abandon meYou’ll all abandon meBrian mumbled.

His own father and mother had abandoned him. Everyone who said they loved him had

abandoned him

You useless piece of crap! You have no use being alive at all!Liam’s voice rang out again and again in Brian’s ears.

Had he been abandoned again and again since he was young because he really was useless?

Chloe gazed at Brian, seeing the twisted, broken expression on his handsome face.

What had Brian experienced when he was young? He clearly seemed like a rich heir who had everything.

Yet Chloe felt so enraged and sad for him right now. She should’ve punched Liam more when she had the chance. She should’ve used more force!

I won’t leave you behind, Brian. Listen to meI won’t abandon you. I promise!Chloe said.

She repeated it to Brian with utmost patience.

His lashes trembled as if he’d finally heard her words. Then, his dark eyes gradually became

focused.

ChloeBrian stared at her, stunned. He slowly regained consciousness and said, Did I lose control again?

No. You just held my wrists down, nothing more. You didn’t hurt me,Chloe said.

Brian’s gaze slowly shifted upward. He saw that he was still tightly gripping her wrists, holding them above her head.

His sense of reason told him that he should release her, yet he didn’t want to do it. He was afraid that he might never be able to grab hold of her if he let her go now.

I won’t abandon you, Brian. You’re my boyfriend now, aren’t you?Chloe’s voice rang in his

ears.

Brian stiffened slightly before finally letting go of her hands.

Now that Chloe’s hands were free, she didn’t immediately shove Brian away. Instead, she hugged him tight.

You must’ve been having a nightmare earlier. Don’t worry, I’m here with you. If I ever meet your father in person again, I’ll teach him a lesson he won’t forget!

Brian was stunned.

A moment later, he looked down and smiled. Yeah, you’re here.

It had been pitch black in his nightmare earlier, and the smell of blood had permeated his senses. He’d even watched everyone slowly leave him behind.

He’d tried holding onto them, yet none of them had so much as turned to look at him before walking away.

Only when Chloe’s voice had started echoing in his ears had he finally regained his senses.

ChloeBrian buried his head in her shoulder, exhausted. Thank you for staying by my side. I have nothing to fear now that you’re here.

The only thing Brian feared was Chloe leaving him.

So you have to keep your word and not abandon me too!Brian’s weak voice echoed in the air as if sealing a solemn promise.

Brian was discharged from the hospital the very next day, as there was nothing else wrong

with his health.

As he left the hospital, his first order for William was, Investigate the source of Willow’s perfume and destroy it for good. Also, make it clear to the Quall family that if they still insist on letting Willow work at Quall Group, Steele Group will terminate all collaborations with them!

Naturally, the Qualls wouldn’t risk offending Brian for Willow’s sake and would make her leave the company. That meant she would lose all standing in the Quall family.
