Declan didn’t take it seriously. "He ate those nasty things for your sake. It seems that he likes you very much."Deirdre used to be able to take this sentence as a joke, but now she only felt embarrassed.It took her a long time to come back to her senses. She changed the subject and asked, "Mr. King, you and Kyran have been together since childhood, haven't you?"“Huh? Yes and no, I’d say.” Recalling the past, Declan replied, "Because he went to Germia for a while, we were separated. We managed to reconnect only later. What's wrong?""I'm curious if he barely contacted any woman. Otherwise..."Otherwise, why would he be interested in her?Declan smiled. “No, you are wrong. He not only has many women around him, but he also has many suitors. After all, girls these days like cool guys. Because Kyran doesn't speak, he just fits in this personality. Plus, he has a delicate mind. Remember his ex-girlfriend—"Declan stopped abruptly as he seemed to realize that he had talked about t

Did she still like Brendan Brighthall?Deirdre only hated that she was blind, hence unable to seek revenge against Brendan.Declan didn’t do anything and remained silent until Deirdre managed to regain her composure. Then he smiled and said, "That's good. I don't want Kyran to be with a woman who likes someone else. Since you have nothing to do with Mr. Brighthall, you should have a new start with Kyran.”When Declan mentioned Kyran again, Deirdre's expression changed. "I have nothing to do with Kyran.""Whether you have or not, you should know better than I do." Declan paused for a moment before continuing. “I also know that you have concerns about Kyran's identity. I can understand that after the incident with Mr. Brighthall. It's normal for you to be on guard. But I think you should also feel that Kyran and Mr. Brighthall are two completely different people.“Kyran will never hurt you. If this doesn't make you lower your guard, how can he prove it? He can't take his heart out f

Kryan didn't seem to like the answer. He was silent for a moment before asking, "Is it just because I'm sick? If I didn't get hurt because of you, wouldn't you want to see me at all?"Before Deirdre could answer, Kryan typed in silence, and his face turned sickly white. "Deirdre, you should go back. I'll ask Declan to arrange a car for you. By this time, the road to Alnwick should have been unblocked. You can go back and stay with Madame Russell at ease. You don't have to come to the hospital to accompany me.""I don't want to," Deirdre blurted at a pace that even surprised her.Kyran was stunned. Deirdre clenched her fists and said, "It will be very boring for you to be alone in the ward because of the long recovery time. I can chat and talk with you.""It's okay." Kyran typed, "I'm often alone, and I'm used to it."When Deirdre heard the phrase ‘often alone’, she couldn’t help but be reminded of herself. The time she had spent in prison, in Brendan's mansion, and even in the car

Kyran didn’t have to say it because Deirdre could feel it herself.That woman was obviously very important to Kyran, so important that she could always affect his mood. This was the first time Deirdre noticed such a great change in Kyran's emotions as if he had changed into a different person.When Deirdre decided not to mention it anymore, Kyran actually asked, "Are you curious?""No.” Deirdre denied.In the beginning, she was just looking for topics to chat about and figure out why Kyran would be interested in her. However, Kyran's reaction made her realize that her behavior crossed the line.Kyran moved forward, intending to get closer to her. But he stopped after taking a few steps. And finally, he stood with downcast eyes.“I’m sorry.“Did I scare you? I'm sorry, I just don't like to bring up the person in the past again.""It's okay." Deidre put a smile on her face. "It's normal not to let others talk about the most important person. Yet, I crossed the line. If someone we

Deirdre also got up immediately. "Take me with you? I'm a little hungry, and I want to go to the hotel restaurant to have something to eat."Declan did not refuse, but a voice came from behind just as Deirdre walked to the door. “Deirdre, can we have a talk?"Deirdre blinked, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. "What would you like to talk about?"Kyran frowned. "Talk about what you want to know.""I don't have anything that I want to know," replied Deirdre. Feeling that her attitude was too cold, she said gently, "Kyran, I'm just going to get something to eat. I'll be back, okay? Then, we'll have plenty of time to talk.”This time, Kyran didn’t type anything.Deirdre went out with Declan. As if he was watching a show, Declan said with an ambiguous smile, "I knew it. Something happened to you two after I left.""Yes, something has indeed happened, but we were just chatting,” said Deirdre briefly. "Let’s go back."When Deirdre returned to the room, a waiter came delivering food. Dec

It was an awkward question. Deirdre lowered her head and said, “Tobey, Kyran is a good person. I’m going to trust him again. As long as he doesn’t hurt me, I don’t care who he really is.”Tobey was rendered speechless. After a short while, he sighed. “Deirdre, I hope you won’t regret this decision in the future.”Deirdre did not understand what Tobey was talking about. Why would she regret her decision in the future?Before Deirdre could make head or tail of Tobey’s words, he had already hung up the call. She had no other choice but to think that her confusion came from her nervousness about refusing Tobey’s good intentions.She sat on the bed, allowing her thoughts to drift into the distance. She did not know how long it had passed, but a flurry of knocking sounds on the door snapped her back to reality. Her heart skipped a beat as she asked, “Who is it?”“It’s me, Miss McKinnon!”‘Mr. King?’He sounded like a cat on hot bricks, and Deirdre opened the door. “What’s wrong?”“So

Deirdre did not say anything in return. Suddenly, Declan remembered something and chided himself for saying so many things that he shouldn’t be saying.Perhaps he had been holding these things inside of him for too long and was desperately looking for a window to spill them out.“Don’t worry, Miss McKinnon. The things between Kyran and her are already in the past.” Declan said, “Since he has chosen you, it means he has already moved on.”Deirdre smiled. If he really had moved on, he wouldn't have reacted so violently when she mentioned that woman, and Declan wouldn't be so hesitant to answer her questions as if he was hiding a secret.Honestly, she did not really care about it. After all, she was very clear that there was no way she would be together with Kyran. It was just that there was something she did not understand. Why did Kyran approach her if he still loved that woman deeply? Before she could get an answer to her question, someone came out from the emergency room.Dec

“Don’t go, Deirdre.” This was the first sentence Kyran typed after getting his phone.Deirdre was dumbfounded for a moment. She did not know why he would say something like that.“Go? I’ve always been here. I won’t leave your side.” Kyran gazed deeply at Deirdre’s face, his eyes filled with despair. “I had a dream. In that dream, you chose to leave my side. You didn’t return to Alnwick but went to a place that I could not reach. I couldn't find you no matter how hard I tried to, and I had to live in remorse for the rest of my life.”He stretched out his hand and held Deirdre's finger. His palm was warm as always, but his hand trembled slightly.Apparently, he was scared. He was scared of Deirdre leaving him.Deirdre blinked blankly and said, “Kyran, it was just a dream. Besides, you didn't do anything to me, so why would I go to a place where you cannot find me?”Kyran’s chest was heaving up and down vigorously as he tightened his grip. It took him a long while before he fi

Her head went blank, and understanding soon dawned upon her.Only now did she see the light as to why Kyran would be attracted to her, why he knew how to take care of her, and how he knew in advance that she would sprain her ankle when walking down the stairs.She had assumed he was acquainted with a blind person before, so it was because his ex-girlfriend was a blind person like her.“I see…” Deirdre smiled. She did not know why, but she felt a pang, as if someone was hitting her heart with a hammer.‘So, does this mean that he confessed to me because of his ex-girlfriend? Is he using me as a replacement for his ex-girlfriend?’If there was one thing in this world that Deirdre hated the most, that would be becoming someone else’s replacement. She already had it enough when Brendan treated her like a replacement for the girl he truly loved. She did not want to become a replacement for Kyran again this time.“So you must love her very much, right? Then why did you two break up?”

“She probably doesn’t want to see me,” typed Kyran. “This is because there's someone who's willing to sacrifice his job to stay with her. I've seen their photos. She's living a happy life now. If this is what she wants, I should leave her alone. As for me, I just need to always remind myself of my past mistakes so that I won't repeat them while loving the people I want to protect.”There was a noticeable pause when he reached the part where he wanted to protect the people he loved. It was as if he was talking about Deirdre, causing the tips of Deirdre’s ears to turn red with embarrassment. Kyran then continued. “She taught me how to respect others and what was important to me. Perhaps this is the will of God. He wants me to appear in my best form before the person I like.”‘Appear in his best form, huh? To be honest, Kyran is indeed the finest man I have ever met.’Deirdre lowered her head. Kyran did not continue the conversation and asked, “Can I have a cup of water?”“Huh? Sure
