Chapter 121: Why Don’t You Sue Me
Brooke hurried down the sterile hospital hallway, her footsteps echoing softly on the polished floor. She was reluctant to come but there was no one else to turn to. Brandon was not taking her calls and they were fast running out of money. Lyse had always been quite easy to manipulate, all she needed was to show her the littlest concern and Lyse would be putty in her hands.
As she rounded a corner, she stopped short, her eyes widening in surprise. Standing near Lyse’s room was Brandon on a phone call. She was stunned to see him there and she crept closer to him.
"Brandon?" she said, her voice laced with surprise and a hint of suspicion. "What are you doing here?"
Brandon turned, a forced smile spreading across his face. "Brooke," he said, his voice smooth and confident. "Fancy seeing you here."
Brooke narrowed her eyes, her suspicion growing. "I’m here to see Lyse," she said, her voice whiny. "What about you? Haven’t you seen my calls?"
Brandon’s smile widened, but it didn’t quite reach his eyes. "Lyse and I are back together," he said, his voice laced with a smugness that made Brooke’s blood boil.
Brooke stared at him, her mind reeling. This couldn’t be true. Lyse was married to Levi. There was no way she would have taken Brandon back, not after what he had done.
"What are you talking about?" Brooke asked, her voice incredulous. "Lyse is married to Levi, and you are with me."
"I told you that is over." Brandon said as he stared at her with disgust in his eyes.
