Chapter 282 Birthday Banquet

Ranita stood calmly.

"Let's go inside," Brendon took her hand, but she pulled away. Ranita’s voice was cool, "I can handle it alone. Why don't you go keep Miss Murphy company?"

"I'll stay with you." Brendon grabbed her fingers tightly, "I'll introduce you to Mr. Webster.” Why did Brendon have to do this?

Ranita's thoughts were turbulent like salty seawater, and the wound inside her throbbed. Diego was old but still sharp-witted and had a kind appearance.

"Mr. Webster, happy birthday.” As they entered the door, their gift had already been given to the servant. Brendon complimented him while Diego. smiled and said "good good good." His gaze fell on Ranita who he pondered for a moment before asking. "Is this... the young lady from a few years ago? Oh my goodness, she looks even more ethereal now."

Wyatt had a good relationship with Diego; when Ranita entered Boulderland Mansion earlier, she saw him from afar but never expected him to remember her.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

"Mr. Webster, happy birthday.” With professional smile plastered on her face, Ranita paused before continuing. "My name is Ranita.” Diego nodded repeatedly, "What an elegant name!" After chatting for a bit longer, Diego chuckled at them, "Don't talk too much with an old man like me: go have fun!"

Brendon’s seat was not far from the main table. Shortly after he sat down, Steve came over to greet him and took a seat next to Ranita. “Ranita, how have you been lately?” he asked.

I've been busy working on my thesis!" Steve was busy performing surgeries while also conducting academic research reports so he was indeed quite busy himself.

"I'm doing well lately. Thank you Dr. Pearson!” Pausing for a moment, Ranita said again, "If there is anything I can help with, just let me know.” While Brendon talked with someone else nearby, Steve leaned closer asking, "Are you still vomiting these days?”

Shaking her head, Ranita said, "It's much better now."

“That's great! Yasmin will be back soon so I'll transfer your file over there then; ie need to come back w here at tte hospital anymore." x Tranqui+Valley Private Hospital'had closeties with Brendon; if it weren't forSteve helping cover up things, Brendon might have known about her pregnancy sooner than later.

"Yasmin is coming back? When?" Yasmin was Steve's sister and a doctor, specializing in obstetrics and gynecology. She went to the west for support some time ago.

"She said she'll probably be back in a week. Let's welcome her when she comes back!" Ranita smiled and nodded. "Okay! We definitely have to do that. I haven't seen her in so long!"

Ranita was talking with Steve, not noticing that Brendon had been staring at her all along. Someone touched her shoulder lightly, causing her to react, "What's wrong?”
