Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1369 Left Before the Surgery Ended
"Do you believe me now, Deirdre? Are you willing to believe that I am not the person you hate?" Brendan's voice was filled with earnestness and a plea for acceptance.As Brendan opened his eyes again, the clarity returned to his dark gaze. Emotions swirled within his pitch-black irises, a tumultuous mix that mirrored his inner turmoil.Deirdre, momentarily relieved from her pain, summoned all her remaining strength to weakly reach out and grasp Brendan's sleeve. Tears streamed down her face, hidden beneath his coat."Bren... Dan..." her voice trembled with exhaustion.Brendan gently pushed aside his coat, revealing a dim figure in the darkness, a fleeting presence."Are you okay?" Deirdre asked, her voice hoarse.Brendan didn't provide a direct answer. Instead, he lowered his head and pressed a kiss to her forehead. Though his lips were cold, a faint warmth radiated from them."Do you remember what I told you before, Deirdre?" Brendan's voice held a hint of anticipation.Strugg

Deirdre returned the phone to the nurse, who inquired, "Did he not answer?""Yeah." Deirdre smiled at her. "He's probably too busy or doesn't answer calls from strangers. It's okay. I'll wait for him to come.""Oh... "The nurse took back her phone, hesitated for a moment, then said, "Well, just rest well.""Thank you."Deirdre nodded and settled back onto the bed. The possibility of him not answering weighed on her mind, making it difficult for her to fall asleep. She patiently waited for a long time, and surprisingly, it wasn't boring at all. The nurse would often come by and put on soap operas, which helped alleviate her boredom."You must get bored staying alone in the ward," the nurse remarked."It used to be boring, but over time, I learned to pass the time on my own. Since I can't see, I've developed ways to console myself and relax when faced with difficulties," Deirdre replied with a smile."I understand. But if you ever feel bored, don't hesitate to press the call butto

"Really?" Deirdre smiled sweetly. "It's alright. It's not your fault. Although I woke up at 5:00 a.m. today, he must have arrived earlier. I didn't expect that I still wouldn't get to meet him.""Yes, he has been recuperating in the hotel recently. Remember, he hit his head? So he isn't allowed to travel everywhere. That's why he didn't visit you in the morning but came at midnight."Deidre nodded, showing her concern. "It's the first time I've encountered this situation with him, and I worry that he's not taking good care of himself. I'll definitely nag him about it the next time we meet.""Indeed. But first, you need to eat. Otherwise, you won't have the strength to nag him, right?"Deirdre finished her oatmeal just then.During her hospitalization, Josie and Joseph came to visit her after hearing the news. They complained about how the storm came at such an inconvenient time.Deirdre couldn't help but smile. "It seems like I got sick at the worst possible time."Josie peeled

Heather pursed her lips as her colleague delivered shocking news. "The patient is pregnant with Brendan's baby.""Oh my god!" The colleague exclaimed, clearly taken aback. "You must be joking! Doesn't that make her the future spouse of the owner of the Brighthall Group?"Heather forced a bitter smile. "It would be great if that were true. Then I wouldn't have to live in constant fear."Furrowing her eyebrows, the colleague asked, "What do you mean?"Heather explained, "Brendan left on his own accord while she was still in surgery and returned to Neve. It's been three to four days, and he hasn't visited her or even called to check on her condition. I suspect that—""Brendan has dumped her?" the colleague interrupted.Heather looked troubled. "Who knows? It wouldn't be surprising. The worst part is that she still holds on to the hope that Brendan will come to see her.""I don't have the heart to tell her the truth. I'm afraid it will devastate her, and it can have serious conseque

Deirdre's pupils shook violently as she understood the meaning behind the nurse's remark. Struggling to get out of bed, she exclaimed, "Where's Brendan? I'll go to Neve to see him if he's in Neve! He must be going through something difficult to talk about!""Calm down, Ms. McKinnon!" Heather hurriedly moved to stop Deirdre and blocked her from getting out of bed, not allowing her to budge. "You're still recovering from surgery, so you're not supposed to walk for a while. What if your surgical wound opens up? If you won't think for yourself, at least think about the baby!"Deirdre felt a sudden drain of energy throughout her body upon hearing the word 'baby'. She clung to Heather and closed her eyes tightly, feeling an unbearable pain in her heart."Why hasn't he come to see me? He will come. I'm sure of it!"Deirdre realized how little she knew. She remembered the man's affectionate and concerned tone when they last spoke, confirming his true feelings for her. But why would he sudd

Josie found it amusing. "She's so young, yet she already shows a preference for pretty faces. She only smiles at beautiful women. And when her father plays with her, she always frowns deeply. It's interesting."Deirdre couldn't help but smile. "Where is Joe?""I've been craving sweets lately, so he went to Zenfull Street in the suburban district to wait in line and get me some desserts."Deirdre was surprised. "That place is far and expensive. Joe really cares about you."Josie patted the little girl's buttocks. "He has to care about me because I gave the Talbots an heir. Not to mention craving an expensive dessert. He'd get me the moon if I wanted it. He's the baby daddy, after all."Josie looked at Deirdre's belly. "You're due soon too, right?""Hmm..." Deirdre lowered her head, her eyes filled with affection. She cherished the baby in her womb. "She's due in two months.""You and Mr. Brighthall have such great genes, so the baby will certainly be very beautiful. Why couldn't

Joseph teased, saying, "You may not know, but the nurse wouldn't leave her post unless Mr. Brighthall specifically requested it. It shows how much he cares for Deirdre."Josie held her cheeks and sighed. "When will I receive such special treatment? I envy you, Deirdre. I never thought much of it before, but now I can't help but feel envious."She shot Joseph a glare, and he was unsure whether to laugh or be concerned. "Don't be like that, my dear. You can't compare me to Mr. Brighthall. No matter how hard I try, I will never have the same status as him. You're making things difficult for me."Josie pretended to be upset. "Fine then. It's my fault for falling in love with you. We're destined for different lives, and I'm stuck with you forever."Deirdre felt a pang of envy as she listened to Josie's playful complaints mixed with love. She lowered her eyes, concealing her own feelings of disappointment.Joining the conversation, she said, "You have a better life, Josie. If a man is t

Yet, Deirdre was still there. Why would he merge with Collins Pharmaceuticals, which was not considered a huge enterprise, for Deirdre's future?The woman came to understand the situation after seeing Josie's puzzled expression. She looked around and said, "You really have no idea, huh?"Josie was completely clueless. The woman chuckled and covered her mouth, saying, "No wonder. Today's announcement is about the merger of their two companies, but they haven't revealed any other details. However, I have some insider information."Lowering her voice as if sharing a secret, the woman said, "I can tell you if you want to know, but you can't tell anyone else."Josie eagerly nodded. The woman continued. "Brendan and the Collins heiress have feelings for each other and will have their engagement party in three days."Josie was stunned by the news.The woman went on. "Due to the circumstances, they keep a low profile and organized a simple engagement ceremony. They will make everything p

"Where is she?"Brendan stared at him, utterly surprised. Sean's voice trembled a bit, but his eyes held a clear and hopeful gaze.Brendan finally calmed down and looked behind him. "There, that's your mother."This was the first time Sean had spoken. Deirdre felt her mind buzzing. When she snapped back to reality, she extended her hand. "Sean, come here."Sean's eyes held gentle amazement. He was intelligent—perhaps he had sensed it on the way there. Thus, his feelings were a blend of happiness and satisfaction.He felt joy that Deirdre was going to be his mother.Being a kid, he took a few steps but couldn't stop his tears, holding onto Deirdre firmly.Deirdre suppressed her own urge to cry and crouched down, wiping away his tears. "Do you... hate mom for not being there and not recognizing you?"Sean shook his head frantically. "As long as you're here… That's enough…"Deirdre hugged him tightly, and Brendan approached, wrapping them both in his embrace.When they brought S

"I was too young back then, still sulking with my father," Brendan replied after recalling his childhood.Arthur chuckled. "Kids will be kids, after all. Besides, your father was an excellent businessman, and you've followed in his footsteps. I've heard about your impressive success with the business in Neve. You're truly talented. With the Parkers under your control, I can finally relax." Brendan thought it was just praise from an elder. He was about to give a humble response when he got surprised by the rest of the statement. This made him freeze in place."The Parkers?" Deirdre was equally surprised."What's wrong?" Arthur beamed. "Don't you both already have children? Although you've divorced, your relationship is still strong. Don't tell me there's no thought of remarriage?""Remarriage? It's not the right time yet." Deirdre blushed from the teasing."It'll come eventually. If that's the case, then you are both part of the Parkers now. You're my only daughter, and he's my s
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1571 Revenge and Redemption
Beneath the envelope lay the evidence. Deirdre stared at it for a long time, with Brendan by her side, offering silent support.The next day, they boarded a plane back to Southedge. Within three days, news of the top political figure's downfall due to corruption spread like wildfire throughout Southedge, even captivating the interest of other cities.Upon learning the full story in his study, Arthur's aging face was stained with tears of regret. "If only I had known sooner... I wouldn't have let your mother leave like that."Deirdre lowered her gaze and handed the letter to Arthur. "My mother explains in the letter that her departure was a voluntary sacrifice to protect everyone. She never blamed you."Arthur gazed at the letter, struggling to find the right words.Deirdre left silently, shutting the door.-Ryker was also brought to the police station. Under Sterling's methods, he confessed to the murders. Emily faced the same outcome.All of them waited for their trials.-

The distance from Southedge to Village Alnwick was immense, yet Brendan displayed unwavering resolve."Then let's depart today," he said.As Deirdre bid farewell to Arthur, an unexpected glimmer of sadness flickered in his eyes. "Visiting your mother's grave, huh? Okay, go ahead. Take care of yourself, don't overexert.""Yes," Deirdre replied. Faced with Arthur's hesitant gaze, she felt compelled to add, "Dad, I'll be back."Arthur met Deirdre's gaze, hope rekindling in his eyes.Deirdre softly sighed. "You're my father, my family. Of course, I'll return." "Really? You mean it?" Arthur's excitement made his hands tremble slightly. He held onto Deirdre as if wanting to convey something, but all that emerged was a murmur, "Then please return early... Come back as soon as you can...""Sure. I have a friend coming over later today. Take care of him. Oh, and my boyfriend is here, too. Don't worry about the specifics. I'll explain everything upon my return."As she stepped out, Bren
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1569 Back to Village Alnwick
"Brendan Brighthall?" Ryker wiped away his own nosebleed. "How did you manage to come from Neve? Didn't I ask Emily to keep an eye on you? That useless fool who can't even accomplish simple tasks.""Choosing to control minds with drugs all along, you should have anticipated this outcome." Brendan acted roughly. As he got up, he took the key from Ryker and placed Ryker on a chair.Deirdre clenched Brendan's sleeve tightly. Sensing her tension, Brendan embraced her to calm her down."It's okay. I'm sorry for coming back so late, making you go through this.""It's not your fault. Your timely arrival saved me from further trouble. It's my own foolishness... I let him find something to use against me," Deirdre said, shaking her head weakly.Brendan frowned, cupping Deirdre's face. "He wasn't someone easily deceived, to begin with. You've done well. I'm the one who brought you into this danger, which is unforgivable."Brendan's dark eyes were filled with intense emotions. He had arrive

Deirdre hugged Ryker, resting her head on his chest as he patted her back. "By the way, you're not curious about where I went after I left early this morning?"Deirdre realized the hidden meaning behind Ryker's words, retreated from Ryker's embrace little by little, and looked at him.Ryker's eyes, as enigmatic as ever, held a clarity that seemed to pierce through everything. "I went to the hospital."He didn't wait for Deirdre to respond. "Because I was curious why I was so sleepy last night for no reason. Any ordinary person might chalk it up to exhaustion. But I know my body too well. You drugged me."Deirdre felt a sudden chill running down her spine.Ryker took a step forward casually, but his eyes were full of killing intent. "I underestimated you, Deirdre. Your acting skills are far more impressive than I imagined. You nearly had me fooled. You deserve an Oscar. What a pity that you're now in my hands."Deirdre retreated abruptly, but she found a cold wall barring her esca
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1567 The Key
Deirdre was momentarily stunned as she watched Arthur search around the study. Eventually, he uncovered a rusty key from a drawer.Arthur raised the key. "Is this what your mother desired?"Deirdre's mind raced, thoughts swirling. "Is this from my mother?"A hint of disappointment shadowed Arthur's eyes as he nodded. "This is the only thing she left me before she departed. She didn't explain why. She just made me promise to keep this key and never search for her."Although I agreed, the thought of it weighed heavily on me. So, I hid the key in a corner of the drawer instead of treating it like any other possession. In hindsight, I shouldn't have made that promise. I shouldn't have let her go alone."Deirdre's voice wavered, confusion evident. But as realization dawned, her heart raced. "Can you give me the key?"Arthur earnestly nodded, his expression solemn. "This belongs to your mother. I'm willing to give it to you whenever you're ready. To be honest, I'm relieved to pass it o

The butler nodded and guided Deirdre to the study's door. Gathering her emotions, she pushed it open.Arthur's attention was on some documents, but the door's creak made him look up. He met Deirdre's gaze, causing a subtle flicker of surprise and uncertainty in his eyes."Deirdre..." He set aside the file. "Did you just wake up? Hungry? I'll have the kitchen prepare something."Deirdre shook her head, closing the door gently."Not hungry. I came to talk.""Everything okay?" Concern colored Arthur's expression. Though he seemed worried she might leave, he tried to hide it. "Go ahead. I'm with you."Deirdre found his reaction slightly amusing. "I'm not leaving."A spark returned to Arthur's eyes. "Then what's up?"As Deirdre grew more serious, she said, "I came to Southedge not just for a visit. I want to know if my mother left something with you before she passed. Something significant.""Left something?" Arthur was puzzled. "She left several things. Which one do you mean?"De
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1565 He's His Child
Brendan's eyes held a hint of pity as he spoke hesitantly. "Your mother took that item away."He gently touched Deirdre's face. "That man kidnapped your mother years ago. I don't know what happened during that time. Maybe he hurt your mother and wanted to keep her forcibly. Eventually, your mother found a chance to escape back to your father with the man's item."She left suddenly while pregnant with you, not out of hatred for your father, but to protect you. Now, that person is unsure if your mother or Arthur has the item. Thus, he aimed to kidnap both you and your father, taking his time to retrieve them."Deirdre's mind was overwhelmed, flooded with information that threatened to drown her. This unexpected revelation left her in disbelief.'My mother left my father because of me? And the mastermind behind Ryker is responsible for my mother's kidnapping?'"So that item holds significant importance for this person, enough to bring him down, right?" Deirdre forced herself to calm
