“First, we should get your tears wiped,” Declan said as he produced a handkerchief made from silk. He handed it to her. “Helping you is my job, Miss McKinnon, more like my promise to my friend. I’m supposed to take care of you so long as Kyran’s not around to do that. Besides, none of this is your fault. So don’t blame yourself, okay?Declan continued hesitantly, frowning. “Though I have to warn you. “The media vulture types are probably going to be all over you for these two days. They are going to try their best to milk as much news as they can from you before we completely shut the news down so they can squeeze as much money as they can for their miserable lives. Stay inside as often as possible. H*ll, stay in his ward.”Deirdre nodded—her heavy head seemed to threaten to fall at every nod. She was about to reach the end of the corridor when she heard a loud commotion. “This hospital is protecting a murderer! Brendan Brighthall bailed a murderer out of jail! He should explain hims
"At the beginning, because you faked your death, he ran out of the hospital like crazy, omitting his tearing and bleeding wound. When he comes out of the operation, do you think he will recuperate with peace!?"Deirdre closed her eyes tremblingly. "I'm sorry. I don't want it either."After Madame Brighthall vented her emotions, she fell down on the bench next to her as if she was drained of energy."Miss McKinnon, I’ve given you a choice. I begged you to see him before the operation. Since you refused to agree, then you would never see him again, but now it is rumored... Fortunately, when this happened, Bren had already been injected with anesthesia. Otherwise, do you know what the consequences would be? This is, after all, a life-threatening operation for him!"Deirdre clenched her fists despite being feeble. "Madame Brighthall, letting everyone know that I am a murderer will do me no good at all. I already have a boyfriend. I don't want this matter to be made known to Brendan eve
Even though the inside of her boots were wet, her hands were cracked from the cold, and her body was so cold that Deirdre lost her senses, the first thing she said with a smile was, "It's good that you're fine."Deirdre didn't claim credit for this, nor did she express her grievances. It was as if it was right and just for her to save her life. Although she was even more obedient to Brendan, she had never mentioned she was the one who had carried Madame Brighthall.At that moment, Madame Brighthall began to really regard Deirdre as her daughter-in-law. For more than a year, she became more intimate with Deirdre, as if Deirdre was her daughter, and she cared more about Deirdre than Brendan.Unfortunately, their relationship had turned out otherwise.-After Deirdre finished speaking, she nodded, signaling that she was about to open the door to enter the ward.“Miss McKinnon…” said Madame Brighthall in a trembling voice.Deirdre kept standing at the same spot while Madame Brightha
“Well, let’s go back.”After Declan got to the ward, Declan remained in the ward until he received the phone call that he had to leave.Deirdre remained by Kyran's side all the time. But Kyran was still slumbering.After a long time, a nurse knocked on the door, came in, and asked, "Miss McKinnon, it's almost nighttime. Do you want something to eat? I'll go to the cafeteria and get you a meal box.""No." Deirdre smiled. "Thank you, but I'm not hungry yet.""But… Miss McKinnon, you haven't eaten all day. Even if you're not hungry, your body needs food." The nurse was worried. "How about I bring a bowl of porridge over? Just take a little. Otherwise, Mr. Reed will be in distress when he wakes up later."Deirdre really didn't have much of an appetite. But when she thought that she might not make it through the night if she didn’t eat, she nodded hesitantly.“Thank you.”- On the other hand, Blake made a phone call at the hotel. As soon as the call was connected, he reprimanded f
"What is there to explain? I thought you could give me a good life, but you immediately showed your true colors when I only spent 18,000 dollars. How will I survive if I marry you in the future!?"Blake quickly coaxed her. "Oh, Lily, you’ve misunderstood. I just wanted to ask whether you have enough money. I’ll give you more if you don’t.""Really?" Lily's expression softened. "It's true that I’ve almost finished spending my money. When will you transfer me the remaining 25,000?"Blake gnashed his teeth and replied with determination, “Soon! I’ll transfer it to you immediately after I receive it.”“Oh dear, you’re truly very amazing. In that case, I’ll continue to enjoy it!”After hanging up the phone, Blake knelt with his head in his arms.He knew that Lily had spent the 18,000 dollars, and he would not be able to get it back. It wouldn't be worth it if he lost his girlfriend again.But if he couldn't get the money, wouldn't he…The woman's eyes flashed in his mind, and he ref
“H-How do you feel?”"I wanted to be with you at the beginning. It turned out to be wishful thinking. How could I be worthy of you, a woman who married Brendan Brighthall? I guess you wouldn't like me either."Deirdre frowned. "Tobey, do you still remember what you said to me before? Don't belittle yourself. I always remember it very clearly. Why did you forget what you taught me?”“I…”“Tobey, the relationship between Brendan and I is not as simple as you think. We didn’t have any affection for each other. If possible, I would rather have never met him in my life."Only then did Tobey come to his senses. He frowned and said, "Indeed, if he was good, how could you become like this?"Deirdre smiled. After all, she didn't care anymore, and neither did she have the strength to do so. "Anyway, it's over. By the way, what about Madame Russell?""I've already explained that it's just a nonsense stunt pulled by the media, and you have nothing to do with Brendan Brighthall.""Thank you
“But I’m the patient.”Deirdre’s cheeks burned slightly when she heard Kyran talk in a serious manner. Biting her lower lip, she rebutted, “Don't make excuses. It's not like you can't move your mouth.”“I like it when you feed me. It was soft, and it smelled good.”Deirdre felt so embarrassed upon hearing the mechanical voice of the phone. She turned, intending to walk away, but Kyran pulled her back smilingly. “Alright, I’ll stop messing with you.”When Deirdre sat down, Kyran asked, “Why were you crying when I was pushed out?”“I did?” Deirdre was startled as she couldn’t remember at all.“Your eyes were red,” replied Kyran.Deirdre immediately recalled the reported news and the person who took a photo of her, and her face turned pale. Trying to force herself to regain her composure, she lowered her head and said, “I was just too worried about you.”“Oh dear, why were you so worried? Didn’t I tell you that I’d be fine?”Deirdre smiled, but her eyes became empty.Though Kyra
The nurse hurriedly held Deirdre up, but Deirdre was feeling dizzy. She had heard the sound of the camera shuttle earlier. Her face had turned pale as a sheet, and she touched her body.“Miss McKinnon? What are you looking for?”“My phone…” Deirdre forced herself to calm down. “Can you please lend me your phone? I think I left mine in the ward.”The nurse immediately took out her phone. “Who do you want to call?”“D-Declan King!”The nurse naturally had Declan’s phone number. After she made the call, she passed it to Deirdre. While pressing against the marble countertop, she was shivering.She knew she would disturb Declan by calling late at night, but she had no other alternatives. The photos must not be spread.“Hello.” After quite a long while, a hoarse man’s voice was heard. “Who’s this?”“Mr. King, it’s me! I’m sorry for waking you up at this late hour.”Declan was indeed sleeping. But when he heard Deirdre’s voice, he immediately sobered up because something must have ha
