"You're the cause of this place." Brendan softly nibbled on her earlobe. "I am the cause?" Deirdre looked up in astonishment, not understanding.It wasn't until Brendan held her hand and led it underwater that Deirdre was scalded, causing her face to blush uncontrollably.Brendan tightened his embrace around her and said in a low voice, "You're the culprit to this. Shouldn't you be the one to resolve it?"Deirdre didn't answer. Brendan gradually pulled her closer, so close that their skin pressed against each other. The two were burning with intense heat and intertwining emotions. And she gave in.Deirdre was nearly deprived of oxygen due to the heat of the hot spring, and she was then placed on the bed.All she knew was that in the end, Brendan wrapped her in his coat and laid her on the sofa, calling a staff member to change the bedding.Deirdre felt even more unable to raise her head. Thus, she curled up on the sofa, pretending to be asleep. And in the midst of pretending, s

Brendan carefully embraced Deirdre and rested.The next day, nearing noon, Deirdre still hadn't woken up.The rain continued to pour, and the raging wind rustled the leaves. It was noon, yet the lighting was even darker than at dusk.Brendan's unease grew inexplicably. This storm couldn't have come at a worse time.Taking advantage of Deirdre's continued sleep, he put on a jacket and went outside. On his way to the dining hall, he heard a guest causing a commotion.As he passed by, the guest, with a flushed face, grumbled, "What kind of place is this? I can't go back just because of a storm? What about my million-dollar project? Can your resort afford the damages? Find a solution for me right away! I want to return to the Northern City!""We sincerely apologize, sir. We are not intentionally preventing you from leaving. However, due to the sudden storm, two large trees were uprooted and have blocked the only exit. Additionally, the heavy rain has caused several landslides, making

"But what?" Brendan furrowed his brows, prompting the staff member to continue."The resort's medical staff is insufficient. With the sudden drop in temperature and the storm, many people have fallen ill. The current doctors are attending to the patients in line, so if it's your turn, it may be in the late hours of the night. I don't know if you can wait—""I absolutely can't wait!" Brendan's face turned icy, his voice resolute. "I can't wait for even a moment! Call the doctor immediately. I'll pay ten times the price, on the condition that the doctor arrives right away! Otherwise, none of the staff here will be able to escape the consequences if something happens to my wife."The staff member naturally understood Brendan's status and the consequences he could bring upon them. She immediately used the internal intercom to summon the resort manager and bring the doctor.After the doctor arrived, he examined Deirdre. "It's a combination of a cold and gastroenteritis. We'll need to co

Brendan opened the car door and rushed into the pouring rain, tightly holding Deirdre in his arms. He used his coat to shield her face, but the relentless rain mercilessly assaulted his face. The remaining warmth was stripped away with each gust of wind, leaving countless unseen yet agonizing wounds.The downpour was so intense that Brendan could hardly keep his eyes open. The roaring of the wind and rain echoed in his ears. He felt Deirdre move in his arms and heard her weak voice."Bren… Brendan..."Relieved that Deirdre still had some sense, Brendan carefully stepped on the scattered gravel by the roadside and whispered, "Deirdre, don't be afraid. I'll take you to the hospital. I promise you'll be safe. I won't let anything happen to you."Weakly, Deirdre touched his arm, and Brendan instinctively drew closer, hearing her say, "Go back. Your body... can't endure it..."Brendan was already weakened, all because of her. Bringing Ophelia back had taken a toll on his body. He was n

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
