Deirdre wanted to go back to Kyran's side as soon as possible. What if he was thirsty? There was no one who could bring him water.Maeve’s eyes were red around the rims as she stammered, “Miss McKinnon—”“What took you so long, you slowpoke!> Don’t you know that we’re rushing for time?”Suddenly, a voice erupted behind Deirdre. The voice sounded like that of a thug, and once he got closer, Deirdre was assaulted by a strong smell of cigarettes.The man observed Deirdre and asked, “Are you sure she’s the one? You didn’t simply find a woman to fool us, did you?”“T-There’s no way I’d do that,” said Maeve, her voice shaking. “She’s Deirdre. She’s the one you guys are looking for.”Deirdre was stunned, and her brain turned blank. When she realized what was going on, she shouted at the top of her lungs, “Help! Somebody help!”She did not know that they had also sent some people after Reily. After she shouted a few times, the thug pinned her to the wall, and the rock that stabbed into
Gnashing her teeth, Charlene chuckled coldly. “Well, well, well, it seems that you still remember me, my old friend. I thought you had already forgotten about me.”Deirdre did not say anything in return. She just clenched her fists. She could not fathom Charlene's anger at all.By right, Charlene was the winner in life.She got together with Brendan. They were going to get engaged soon, and she could stay with Brendan all the time. Everyone knew that she was the future Mrs. Brighthall, so Deirdre did not understand why she was so angry.“If you didn't make such a big fuss and abduct me, I would have already forgotten about you. After all, we're two people from two different worlds. There’s no way our paths would intersect.” “Two people from two different worlds?” Charlene’s pretty face was contorted with anger. She stabbed her nails into Deirdre’s face and snarled sarcastically, “If that’s what you think, then you wouldn’t have appeared in this hospital.“Deirdre, since you chos
Charlene remembered something, and a glint flitted across her eyes. She let out a cold smirk and said, “Maybe he’s just playing you! He promised that he’ll marry me. He doesn’t want to be responsible to you, so he faked an identity to get closer to you. This way, he won’t have any guilt when he leaves you. Your whole life is a joke, Deirdre.”A chill rushed down Deirdre’s spine as she felt there was an invisible hand stabbing her in her heart.Her unfocused eyes were filled with pain, and she kept shaking her head in denial. “No... This isn’t possible! There’s no way Kyran could be Brendan! He grew up in Eastgene. That’s what Mr. King told me, and he’d never lie to me!”“Mr. King? You’re talking about Declan, right?” asked Charlene, stunning Deirdre. ‘How does she know about Mr. King?’“So he’s in Wrisey too. No wonder he looked so familiar that day, so this is it.” Charlene smiled coldly. “Do you know who Declan is to Brendan?”“No, I don’t know.”“They've been best friends si
“You should know your own place, you ugly b*tch. Come, show everyone that wretched face of yours!” Charlene shouted maliciously as she stretched her arm forward to take Deirdre’s mask away, causing Deirdre to lower her head in pain. Charlene pinched at her cheek and forced her to raise her head.“What’s the matter? You know how ugly you are, so you don’t have the guts to show your face in front of everyone? Hmph! You should just pee on the ground and look at your—”In the next second, Charlene came to an abrupt stop. She looked at Deirdre’s face, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.Most of the appalling scars on her face had healed, save for a few stubborn scars left. Coupled with her dewy eyes, one could see past those scars how pretty she had been in the past. Charlene’s face contorted with jealousy. She couldn’t believe that Deirdre was even prettier than her. She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails stabbed deeply into her palms.“When did your face recover?” Her
“What are you doing?!” By the time Deirdre realized what he was going to do, it was already too late. The man had already pressed his lips on her neck, and she shouted in despair, “Get away from me!”“You should quit acting now. Everyone knows you're a wh*re who has slept with many different men, so why can't I join the party? I'm sure that a man like Brendan can't satisfy you, right? It's okay. You're fortunate to have come across me today. I'm sure that you'll very much enjoy it.”Deirdre was disgusted. If she could see now, the first thing that would appear in her vision would be the man's face, which was distorted by lust and desire.The man continued to tear her shirt apart, and Deirdre just wanted to kill herself. Suddenly, she stopped struggling.“You said you want me, right?” said Deirdre, her voice shaky and raspy. Anyone who heard her voice would be incited.The man stopped and grinned lecherously. “Of course. You’re so beautiful. Since there’s no one else here, we might
Declan found a woman crying with her face covered in the room when he rushed to the hospital overnight. He knew that the woman’s name was Reily Grant.Reily saw him at the same time and acted as if she had found her savior. “Mr. King!”“I’m aware of the situation. Where’s Kyran?”“Mr. Reed is at the police station.”“Has he lost his mind? He should be resting in bed!” Declan furrowed his eyebrows tightly and made a call while he headed to the police station.The call was not picked up all along. Declan arrived at the police station’s entrance to find Kyran standing inside by himself, holding his phone and wearing a hospital gown. He did not have a jacket on but a police officer’s coat. All of the police officers were rather respectful to him. In fact, one of them had even served him a cup of hot water. “Sir, have this…”Declan walked over swiftly and grabbed the man’s arm. “What are you doing, Kyran!? Didn’t I tell you that I’ve already sent someone to look into this? You sho
Kyran’s eyes lit up. He hastily approached the police officer and moved so strongly that his abdomen twitched in pain. He let out a few coughs and asked with bloodshot eyes, “Where is she?”The police officer pointed at the lower right corner of the computer screen. “The woman that is taken away here, is that Miss McKinnon?”The front of the woman’s face could not be seen where the police officer was pointing, but her outfit coincided with what Deirdre had been wearing.Kyran clenched his fists tightly and said, “That’s right!”“We’re investigating in the right direction, then. If we can extract the main roads' surveillance footage and track the black sedan's whereabouts, we can find out where they have taken Miss McKinnon.” The police officer dialed the phone to retrieve more surveillance footage. A location was found at last. It was on a mountain nearby to Rivstate Road. There was an abandoned backyard, and the road to the mountain was steep, so it would be easy to cover up
If Deirdre were to fall, she would be drowned to death even if she survived the fall. Deirdre felt a shiver down her spine. She stretched out her hand to grab the vegetation roots next to her and found that they were very sturdy. She took a deep breath and prepared physically and mentally before grabbing the vegetation and moving to the right on the slope, which was almost 90 degrees. A few wounds opened up on her hands from the friction, and there were countless scratches on her body as well. She felt the burning, piercing pain in her palms, but she did not have the courage to slow down at all. She loosened her grip only when she finally arrived at a not-so-steep path. Her palms were covered in blood. Deirdre wanted to cry from the pain but endured it with her teeth clenched and continued to walk down the path. She was afraid that the man would come after her. She had already lost the strength to run, even though she could see the place a little clearer now.She lost coun
