“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

    Deirdre took a deep breath and entered the ward. As soon as she closed the door, Kyran asked, “Who did you meet?”He totally didn’t know what had happened. He only saw the bruise on her arm in the morning, but Deirdre told him she fell accidentally."It’s people from the hospital’s management level. Because I fell in the laundry room, they asked me if I was okay and if I needed compensation."Although Kyran was unhappy that Deirdre was injured, he couldn’t blame anyone, so he could only ask, "Does it still hurt?"Deirdre held his hands and smiled. "After taking medicine, it's gotten much better, and it doesn't hurt anymore.""The next time anything happens to you, remember to tell me immediately. If I didn't see your swollen arm this morning, you would have hidden it from me, wouldn’t you?"Kyran couldn’t help but blame Deirdre, but he felt even more distress.Deirdre was touched and even felt better from the restlessness she suffered from the incident yesterday.Since the poli

    "That's good." Charlene softened and demanded, "Take him aside and check if there is any hidden camera before throwing him out."“Yes!”When Blake was dragged aside for inspection, he raised his hands and dared not make a sound. Meanwhile, Charlene tidied up her hair and walked toward the door.“Miss McKinsey.”Charlene was blocked just when she took a step forward.Charlene frowned. “It’s been two days, yet Bren is still unwilling to meet anyone?”The bodyguard smiled obsequiously. “Yes. Mr. Brighthall is in poor health and in a bad mood, so he just wants to stay in the room alone.”Charlene appeared to be Impatient, but she still said softly, "But at this juncture, Bren needs companions the most. If he is alone in the ward, doesn't it mean that no one will take care of him when he is thirsty? Open the door. I'm going to persuade him.""Miss McKinsey, I'm really sorry. It's not like you don't know what happened last time. Mr. Brighthall hates others disobeying him the most. Pl

    “I advise you to delete the negatives immediately and then find a place to live honestly. Otherwise, you not only won’t be able to release your photos but you will also be imprisoned for several months. The choice is yours!"As soon as Charlene finished her sentence, she turned and left.Blake became anxious and said, “Miss McKinsey, aren’t you afraid that Brendan Brighthall is lying to you?”“What do you mean?” Charlene abruptly stopped and turned to Blake gloomily and sinisterly. “What nonsense are you talking about?”Blake bit the bullet and replied, “Brendan Brighthall and Charlene McKinney are dating without you knowing!”Charlene looked distorted as she approached Blake and said in a low voice, “If I find out you are lying, I guarantee that you will not be able to get out of here intact."Blake was frightened. He had never expected that Charlene, who appeared pretty, would look so vicious.He cheered himself up. "Why would I lie when I can take pictures of Charlene McKinne

    “So what can I do for you?” “Miss McKinnon, can you help me? I’m sorry for lying to you that time, but Mr. Brighthall forced me,” said Maeve, her voice filled with sobs. “I shouldn’t have called you, but I can’t think of anyone else who can help me right now…”Deirdre frowned at the woman’s sobs and felt a pang in her chest.One of the reasons was that Maeve’s voice really sounded like her mother's, and the second reason was that she could feel that Maeve was genuinely good to her at that time. Although it all turned out to be fake, no one in this world could fake their feelings. This was also why she could not treat Maeve as she treated Brendan. She bit her lips and asked, “What happened?”“My daughter was diagnosed with cancer a while ago. For the past few months, I've sold my house and all my valuable things to pay for her expensive medical bills, but I can't hold on anymore.”“So, you want money?” Deirdre’s face turned pale, and she lowered her head, “I’m sorry, Madam O'K

    "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.

    "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?"
