As long as Brendan regained his memories, everything would be solved.However, Deirdre had ignored one of the biggest problems—Brendan admitted that he liked Emily. He wanted to marry Emily, which a mere loss of memory couldn't explain. Since Brendan had chosen to do it, he naturally had done it due to his inner desires.How important was Emily in his heart? Deirdre suddenly didn't dare to continue thinking about it.She sat on the sofa alone for a long time. Only when Mrs. Wanner finished her work in the kitchen and told Deirdre it was time for lunch did Deirdre realize that Brendan had gone after Emily for over three hours.During these three hours, anything could happen, and she was the only one who didn't know what had happened."Alright." Deirdre got up. Seeing that, Mrs. Wanner looked outside and asked, "Where's Mr. Brighthall? Did he say he's coming back for lunch today?"After that, Mrs. Wanner froze for a moment and quickly sensed the tense atmosphere.Deirdre was stu
"Sorry, I have only limited time to freely make a call, so... I didn't contact you immediately," said Deirdre.Tobey sounded down as he said, "Silly girl, you don’t have to apologize. Clearly, I should be the one to apologize to you. I am a man, but I couldn't protect you and let you fall into that man's hands. Now every time I think about it, I resent my incompetence."Deirdre's expression changed, and her hesitant eyes were reddish. If Tobey knew that she was with Brendan again, he would probably want to curse her. What was worse, Brendan might not truly be in love with her."Deirdre?" Tobey didn't get a response for a long time and couldn't help but ask again, "Are you okay now? Now that you can call me freely, does it mean that Brendan has separated from you?"Deirdre lowered her eyes. "I'm sorry, Tobey, he and I... are together again."The other end of the call suddenly fell silent. Deirdre bit her lip and struggled internally, and soon after, she heard Tobey sigh softly. "Di
But in the end, Deirdre overestimated her position in Brendan's heart. He would rather go to the study than come to her room to explain."I..." Brendan was about to speak, but his throat seemed to be stuck close in the next second. He held his forehead as mixed feelings overwhelmed him, and he couldn't figure out his thoughts at all. As Deirdre was waiting for him, disappointment arose in her heart.She lowered her head. "Brendan, I just need your answer. I'm not the kind of woman who can't let go of a relationship. As long as you choose Emily between me and her, I promise, I will stop harboring feelings for you, and we can just end it."Upon hearing that, a stabbing pain shot through Brendan's heart. Deirdre said her last sentence so easily. Was it so easy for her to let go of him?But… What about him? His feelings were clear in his heart. He raised his head and said with red eyes, "I don't want you to leave."Deirdre's fingertips trembled, and she tried to keep a calm and compos
Brendan was lost in thought. He liked Deirdre from the bottom of his heart—those feelings were beyond his reason. He had feelings and longed for her. But this was not exclusive to Deirdre. He also felt this way toward Emily.This confused him, and he could not figure out the answer. If he loved Deirdre and was reluctant to part with Emily, then what was this relationship to him? Was it fair to Deirdre?Because of that thought, he didn't dare to face Deirdre after he returned. He was very guilty and ashamed. In the end, Brendan did not go after Deirdre."Mrs. Wanner, follow her, and don't let anything happen to her."With a dazed expression, he opened the door and entered his room.-Deirdre walked out of the villa. The sun was very warm, but her heart was cold. As for why Brendan had not come after her, he had likely found his answer in his choice between Emily and her.Deirdre caressed her stomach as she laughed at herself for falling in love with him. If she hated Brendan as s
Deirdre hesitated again and again before she answered the phone. She held up the phone to her ear and said, "Is this Dr. Chapman? Hello.""Ms. McKinnon, it's me." An attractive and gentle voice came from the other end of the phone, and Deirdre froze for a moment.Declan continued, "Don't look surprised and don't call out my name. Someone should be watching you not far away at this moment."Deirdre, feeling astounded, pursed her lips and subconsciously hid her hands in her cuffs."Then... Can they hear me talk?" she asked, her voice filled with concern.Declan understood her concern and smiled reassuringly. "Naturally, they can't hear you as long as you keep your voice down."Deirdre let out a sigh of relief but was also curious. "Mr. King, why did you call suddenly and use... this method? And why did you say that someone is watching me not far away? Did you discover something?"Declan was as calm as ever. "The information I found out is actually similar to what you've found out,
"Then that means he told—""No." Declan knew what Deirdre was going to say and interrupted her. "Ms. McKinnon, I hope you think through it carefully. If he loves you so much, will he suddenly change and fall in love with someone else? That woman is still the culprit who destroyed his body."Deirdre was stunned and bit her lower lip in confusion. Then, Declan added, "I heard Laura mention hypnosis. It can make a person have feelings for another person invisibly, and it is not controlled by oneself."Deirdre's face turned pale in an instant, and her soft lips trembled. She pressed her teeth tightly, lowered her head to restrain her emotions, and said, "Mr. King, so you mean that Brendan was hypnotized to have feelings for Emily, and he can't even control his feelings for Emily?""That's right," replied Declan. "The hypnotizer is on the same side as that group of people, so they will naturally attack Brendan. The weakening of Bren's body is a sign of their attack."I thought he could
Deirdre was shocked that the woman turned out to be Laura's younger sister. She had mixed feelings about Declan's messy connections.She handed the phone to Yvonne, and the latter said enthusiastically, "Your eyes can't see well, so I'll take you home. Where is your home?"Deirdre told her address, and Yvonne walked side by side with her. Deirdre took two steps before she suddenly lowered her head and coughed.Yvonne leaned over, and Deirdre whispered, "Ms. Smith, please tell Mr. King that Sterling disappeared after going to the research institute, and I can't get into contact with him. I suspect that he may have been kidnapped and placed under house arrest."No matter what it is, I can't go to Germia. I heard that Mr. King lived in Germia for a while before. Please ask him to help me investigate Sterling's whereabouts. Set him free if you can."Yvonne made an affirmative sound and raised her voice to say, "Where does your stomach hurt? Miss, you have to hold on. You are pregnant.
"You can see how important I am to Brendan, so how could I not be aware? I should… give him some time," said Deirdre.Mrs. Wanner's eyes lit up when she heard that. "Exactly! I suspect that Mr. Brighthall simply doesn't understand liking someone. If he really cared about Emily Collins, he would have gone to see her long ago. But I have never heard him mention her name in the past few days," she explained.Deirdre bit her lip and walked forward. Just as she entered the villa, she collided with Brendan, who was hurrying and seemed to be searching for something.It was only when he saw Deirdre that the tension in his face relaxed."Mr. Brighthall? Where are you going?" Mrs. Wanner asked in surprise.Brendan's gaze was fixed firmly on Deirdre's face. He opened his mouth as if to speak but ultimately gave up and averted his eyes."Just going out for a bit," he replied.Mrs. Wanner hoped that Brendan would say he would find Deirdre, but his response left her slightly embarrassed."We
