Chapter 302 Chapter 302 ning his once flawless , nearly perfect face .
The Brandons heart was pierced , and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood , staining blood , bright and vivid , painted his features like a heated , intense artwork .
Noelle breathed heavily , her eyes fixed on the wound she had inflicted .
She was in shock , yet filled with an overwhelming sense of triumph .
She had won she had defeated Brandon .
Just as she basked in the relief of survival , a hand unexpectedly brushed against her face.
Noelle instantly tensed , her head snapping up .
To her horror , she saw Brandon , his eyes now clouded , his eyes widened , signaling the impending approach of death .
Noelle , you won , Brandon said , his voice faint as he managed a smile .
Noelle stared at him , her voice unwavering .
I won Brandon , this time , youre really going to die .
Brandon chuckled weakly , but as he did , the movement caused the wound in his chest to worsen , and he coughed up more blood .
His hands fell limply to his sides , unable to support him .
He gazed at Noelle , struggling to regulate his breathing .
Noelle , did you really think I would kill you ? You were always planning to kill me , Noelle replied firmly .
Back when she was with the Anderson family , if Bennett hadnt intervened , Brandon would have killed her then .
And just now , knowing it was a life or death duel , Brandon had come at her with lethal force . If he hadnt hesitated for that brief moment , she never would have had the chance to turn the tables on him Brandon didnt deny it .

He remembered Noelle refusing to stay with him , her strikes aimed directly at him .
He had intended to kill her , but now , as he lay dying , memories of their past together surfaced , He was the son of powerful figures in the laboratory , but wisen it came to matters of profit , he was discarded , left to survive on his own .
The day before being sent to the laboratory , he overheard his parents talking about him with lab officul .
They said there was no need for compassion , that they would test him with the highest levels of pressure , and if it succeeded , it would be a win .

his family .
Cold , merciless .
His flesh and blood , seen only as tools .
They kept him as long as he was useful and discarded him That was when he wasnt With such deep resentment , Brandon entered theory , where he loathed everything .
He despised it all yet the children in the lab tried to get close to him because of his appearance .
His looks were superior , and human beings were naturally drawn to beauty , trying to touch it .
Then , Noelle appeared .
She was small , cute like a snowball , and irresistibly sweet .
She was a complete visual addict , always gazing at him with eyes full of stars .
Brandon hadnt been interested at first , but after a while , he found himself tolerating her constant presence .
As the days passed , Brandon started to get used to her presence .
Noelle was naive , had an odd way of thinking , but she was always smiling , curious , and eager to share anything that happened .
At first , it irritated him , but as time went on , he found himself compromising .
A year passed peacefully , and then Brandon was subjected to the brain experiment , which caused him unimaginable pain .
He barely survived and stumbled back to the resting area , where Noelle stayed beside him , her tears threatening to fall as she watched him .

But now , she didnt remember their past , nor did she need him anymore .
Brandon was furious .
He had survived for her , but now she no longer needed him .
He tried every extreme method to make her stay , but the more he tried , the further she pushed him away .

His entire life , Brandon had never careil about mything , not family , not blood nothing was worth his attention , except Only she could make his emotions stir .
