Kyran did not know her number, but he could call up the village head or the villagers. She refused to believe that Kyran could not get her number in view of Declan’s connections.

‘Or is he trying to get here, but the heavy snow blocks his route?’

At that thought, Deirdre decided that she would wait a little longer.

A moment later, the door of the lounge opened suddenly.

Deirdre raised her head in pleasant surprise only to hear the villager’s voice. “It’s nine, Deirdre.”

“I’m sorry for holding you up.” Deirdre felt an ineffable feeling in her heart and walked outside with the medicine bag.

It had already begun to snow outside, and a thick layer of snow was on the ground, almost to her ankles.

The villager said, “I’ll send you since it’s on my way. It’s inconvenient for you to head home in this weather.”

Deirdre hesitated for a moment before she said with a forced smile, “It’s fine. You should go home first.”

“You’re not going to wait still, right?” The villager inhaled sharply

    At that point, Declan was amused. “Both of you are the same, and one of you is more stubborn than the other. One insisted on coming, while the other insisted on waiting. Are both of you trying to get yourselves killed?”The first thought that came into Deirdre’s mind was the news report about Brendan’s collapse in the morning, of him being sent to the hospital for treatment that very night. Kyran too… It felt a little too coincidental.However, she discarded that idea immediately. These people had totally different personalities. Brendan was domineering, while Kyran was gentle. If Brendan were to find out that she was talking to Tobey on the phone, he would snatch the phone and hang up domineeringly before humiliating her. Yet, Kyran would not do that. He would never force her to do anything against her wish when he was displeased.Perhaps he had really caught a cold from fixing the switchboard last night?It was no wonder she had not received any update from Kyran, but the first

    “I see…” Deirdre said softly, “It must be very tiring for you to travel such a difficult path to get to me in a rush, right? I’m sorry.”Declan was stunned upon hearing Deirdre’s remark and came to understand the situation. He smiled subconsciously and said, “I’ve never seen Kyran being close to a woman from the start, but you’re the only exception, Ms. McKinnon. You’re so kind, Ms. McKinnon. Perhaps I might have fallen for you too if I didn’t already have someone else that I love.”Deirdre had a hard time explaining her relationship with Kyran within a short period, so she immediately changed the conversation topic. “Do you have a lover, Mr. King?”“Hardly a lover… She’s not planning on being with me.”“Is that so?” Deirdre expressed her astonishment.Declan could not help chuckling. “Why? Why are you feeling incredulous to know that I’m still single?”Deirdre said truthfully, “It’s because you seem like a very outstanding man, Mr. King. You hold a respectable status, and you’re

    “K-Kyran?”The man’s eyes were filled with pain and lethargy. The sight of the woman sobered him up. He grabbed Deirdre’s hand once again and wrote on her palm. “I’m fine.”Deirdre broke into tears of joy. Kyran wrote, “I’m sorry.”“What are you sorry for?” Deirdre was stunned. “For making you wait.”Deirdre’s eyes reddened with tears abruptly. She shook her head with all her might and suppressed the overwhelming emotions in her heart.“It’s me who should be sorry. I encumbered you the other day. You wouldn’t have been caught in a road closure from the heavy snow when you sent us home had I not wanted to buy clothes. Had I not insisted on following you, you wouldn’t have removed your jacket for me and gotten sick. Everything that happened was my fault…”Kyran tapped on her palm to beckon her to stop. Then, he searched around and found his phone.“I’d be in agony if you got sick.”Deirdre was stunned instantly, and she was rendered speechless. She came to realize that Decl

    Deirdre was stunned. She felt for the phone in her pocket and realized that it was turned off after being out of battery. She stretched out her hand and said, “Pass it to me.”The phone was given to Deirdre, and she got up to pick up the call. “Hello, Madame Russell.”“Silly girl!” Eilis was almost in tears. “Why aren’t you picking up your phone? You scared me! I looked for you everywhere for a night and almost thought that you were buried under the snow!”“I’m sorry…” Deirdre sniffed. She had been so worried about Kyran that she had forgotten to call and update Eilis about her whereabouts. Madame Russell said, “As long as you’re safe and sound. Where are you now?”Deirdre had no idea, either. She said truthfully, “Mr. Reed got sick and was admitted to the hospital after helping me the other day. I sought help from Mr. King to take me to the hospital, and it is quite some distance away from Village Alnwick.”“I see… Are you cold then? Would you like me to send you warmer cloth

    “I know that it’s not your intention to worry us, but I regret even more that I can’t keep you company during this time.” Tobey sounded tired when he asked Deirdre, “Who is this Mr. Reed?”Deirdre was momentarily stunned and bit her lower lip before she told Kyran that she was going out to take the call. She took the liberty to walk out of the room and shut the door before she said, “He’s a new acquaintance of mine.”“He seems to object to my presence very much,” Tobey said half-jokingly, yet with a tinge of seriousness. “It would be great if I were by your side.”Deirdre’s expression turned gentle. She was about to speak when someone walked past her and said with excitement that could not be concealed, “Do you know that Brendan Brighthall from Neve is in our hospital?”All the blood drained from Deirdre’s face instantly, and her eyes widened incredulously as she looked in the direction of the source of the voice.The voice continued to say, “I heard that he is still single, and r

    ’Protect?’Deirdre understood that no one would be able to protect her in Brendan’s presence because he was a madman who acted on his will. ‘If he is happy, he will smile at you. But if he is displeased, he will figure out all sorts of ways to destroy you, and no one can stand a chance against him. How can he protect me from him?‘Moreover… why does it have to be so coincidental that he is in the same hospital as Kyran and they are warded on the same level?’“I really am fine.” Deirdre clenched her fists tightly and inhaled three deep breaths once again to calm herself. She rubbed her face and said, “I’m just tired because I didn’t sleep well in the car last night.”Upon hearing that, Kyran typed, “I’ll get Declan to take you somewhere to rest when he’s up.”“Sure.”Deirdre seized the opportunity to walk outside once again.Even though she hoped to cut ties with Brendan, she had to figure out which level and room Brendan was staying at first.She felt her way to the elevator

    ’1106…1106…‘Isn’t that Kyran’s room? How is it Brendan’s room?‘It’s supposed to be Kyran’s room! I was there earlier! Unless…’All the blood drained from Deirdre’s face, and her eyes widened in fear. ‘Unless Kyran and Brendan are the same person.’Deirdre stood in the same spot, stunned. It felt as if her energy was drained from her body, and she was incapable of moving. The thought of the reveal was suffocating. Yet, it was not utterly impossible when she thought about it closely.Kyran had always kept up with his mute image since he showed up, and she could not see with her eyes, so she could not reveal Brendan’s identity. He could turn himself into a stranger.She was probably oversensitive, but when she thought about it closely, it was highly possible for Kyran to be Brendan. In fact, Kyran was admitted to the hospital when news of Brendan’s hospitalization was reported. How could it be such a coincidence that both of them were admitted to the same hospital?She was un

    It felt like a nuke was dropped right in the middle of Deirdre’s chest. Her eyes began to water. How dare he tell her to calm down? How could he still be thinking about continuing this stupid charade!?Deirdre’s head was spinning. She placed her hand against her temple and shut her eyes, gnashing her teeth to endure the pain before opening them again. She turned in Declan’s direction, her glassy eyes boring through his face. “Who is Kyran Reed really?”“Who is Kyran?” Declan paused. “Er, you’re losing me, Miss McKinnon. Kyran is, well, Kyran. He’s my friend. My brother from another mother. What? You suspect he has a crimefighting alter ego or something?”“You really think this is the time to keep up this stupid charade!?” She exhaled, her fists tightening. She took a deep breath. “I heard what the nurses said. The man who’s staying in No. 1106 is Brendan Brighthall. But Kyran is the one who’s there, isn’t he? Which means Brendan and Kyran have been the same person this whole time!

"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.

    "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

    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

    "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

    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

    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?"
