CHAPTER 354

Although Bryson wasn't as capable or bright as his younger brother, he understood the situation after seeing how things had unfolded. It wasn't an accident that he had lost biological daughter—it was a plan devised by Penny to replace their daughter with her childhood sweetheart's child.

The reason Penny would voluntarily give her own daughter away and replace her was because she had been fooled by her bodyguard, Walter Hudson. Walter had bribed Penny's doctor and gotten him to lie to her about her daughter being a jinx who would bring misfortunes to the people around her. After hearing what the doctor said, Penny hired someone to take her own daughter away. Subsequently, she brought Walter's daughter back to their house.

All these years, Penny wasn't close to her sons but was exceptionally fond of Ava. Bryson used to think that it was because Penny was thankful toward Ava as her appearance had helped save his mother-in- law's life. Thus, she favored Ava a lot.

But now, he realized that he had gotten it all wrong. The reason Penny was so fond of Ava was because Penny and Walter were lovers before she got married to him. Walter was the one who Penny truly loved; she saw his daughter as her own and loved Walter's daughter more than she loved her own sons.

"What do you see me as? Huh?" He tightened his grip around her neck. His eyes were bloodshot, and his face was contorted with anger. "You shouldn't have married me if you loved Walter that much. After marrying me, you would rather give our daughter away and bring your lover's daughter back while letting me raise her as my own. How could there be such a vicious and wicked woman?"

If such a scandal became known to the public, Bryson would be the biggest laughing stock of Dusktown. After his wife lost their biological daughter, she brought her lover's daughter home as he

foolishly raised the child as his own. On top of that, he had given up on looking for his biological daughter because of Ava. His daughter was now somewhere outside, and he didn't know whether she was dead or alive.

The thought of it made him feel so pathetic that he just wanted to strangle her to death. Noticing that something wasn't right, both his sons and Brandon immediately stepped forward and dragged him away. Penny, who almost passed out from being strangled, fell to the ground and coughed as she touched her neck. At one point, Penny felt that Bryson would actually strangle her to death. Although he wasn't as capable as Brandon, he had a gentle temperament and was a nice guy. However, she now realized that even someone as honest as Bryson would lose control and turn into a monster if someone crossed the line.

She slumped on the floor, feeling terrified. What should I do? How did it happen? Everything was done seamlessly back then, so how has everything been dug up? Did Walter really fool me? she thought to herself. She couldn't believe that Walter, who loved her so much and obeyed her every word, would lie to her.

If not for both his sons and younger brother, Bryson would have strangled her to death as he couldn't afford to embarrass himself. There wouldn't have been someone as pathetic as him in Dusktown. If the matter was made known to the public, he would be a laughing stock and a huge embarrassment.

He was so enraged that he tried to take deep breaths to calm himself down. After a while, he shut his eyes and kneeled before Eddie. "Dad, I'm sorry for embarrassing the family!"

The whole Penham Family would be a laughing stock if this scandal was revealed to the public. Meanwhile, Eddie was so exasperated that his face was as pale as a sheet, and his limbs were numb

while he had a migraine.

When he was younger, he got hurt on the battlefield, which had affected his health during his old age. However, he was able to live until today as he could afford the best healthcare. However, the doctor said that he should remain calm at all times and not get too anxious. Otherwise, his illness would relapse with serious consequences. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Because of that, his temperament had become milder as he got older; Eddie was even able to calm himself down when he encountered some issues so that he wouldn't get mad easily.

However, it was impossible to do so today after finding out that his eldest daughter-in-law, whom he had already looked down on, switched his granddaughter at birth with her lover's daughter right in under his eyes without him realizing. All these years, he had allowed Ava to cause trouble within the Penham Family.

If the incident got out, the Penham Family would be the talk of the town and would be laughed at. With that, he wouldn't be able to uphold his integrity in his later years which would bring him embarrassment. The thought of it made his limbs tremble, and it gave him a terrible migraine. Noticing that, Brandon immediately got someone to call Drew over.

Drew was a doctor who was knowledgeable in both Western and traditional medicine. He prescribed two Antihypertensive drugs to Eddie and massaged his acupuncture points while advising him, "Mr. Penham, nothing is more important than your health. Since you have been hurt before, you'll need to recuperate in order to live a long life. You shouldn't get yourself worked up as it is harmful for your health!"

Upon hearing what Drew said, a thought suddenly flashed across Jennifer's mind.

She then looked at Sebastian and asked politely, "Sebastian, do you have a family doctor named Dr. Leigh Shefford?

"Yes," he answered with a smile.

"Frank mentioned that Dr. Shefford is a skillful doctor, and he holds her work in high regard. I was wondering if we could invite her over to treat my father's illness?"

If she managed to get Dr. Shefford over to treat Eddie, she could try to persuade her to treat her daughter as she couldn't accept the fact that Luna would only live until her thirties. She would even get on her knees and beg Leigh in order to get her to treat her daughter's illness.

Brandon realized his wife's intention and chimed in, "Sebastian, Dr. Shefford is a very skilled doctor who helped to save my daughter's life. We are all very thankful for her, and we would like to thank you for recognizing and recruiting such talent; it was only through you that we were able to meet Dr. Shefford, who managed to save our daughter's life. If she could treat my father and daughter, the Penham Family would be grateful toward you, and we will repay you generously for your kindness in future!"

"If Dr. Shefford is willing to treat my father and daughter, the Penham Family would be indebted to you, and we will definitely repay you for your generosity in future!"

Since Brandon was an outstanding man within the Penham Family, Eddie's resources and connections were handled by him; he would eventually succeed Eddie, which would give him a bright future. The Penham Family was also a big family with most of them being leaders and scholars in their respective fields who held high statuses.

It was not a bad thing to be indebted by the Penham Family. On top of that, since both the Hart Family and Penham Family had close ties, he wouldn't have rejected their request even if they didn't promise to give him anything in return. However…

Sebastian looked over at Madeline who was sitting next to him and said, "Although Dr. Shefford is our family doctor, she is actually my wife's best friend who works at my wife's office. If both of you would like to get Dr. Shefford over to treat Eddie and your daughter, I'll need to seek permission from my wife."
