Chapter 212 The Woman Chosen by Mr. Brighthall
Brendan loosened his grip, his expression puzzled. “What’s going on?”Deirdre took a deep breath. “Don’t you see it? I don’t enjoy being in public anymore. Walk a mile in my shoes. If you were me, would you still want to go out so you could be ridiculed by others? Even though I’m used to it, I still won’t put myself on the spot willingly.”Deirdre not only stunned herself when she made the remark, but she wondered if she had lost her mind. ‘How dare I tell Brendan my innermost thoughts and resist him? He has always wanted me to be obedient and submissive.’Only that way would he not take away the person that she cared about the most, Ophelia. Just as expected, the surrounding ambiance turned oppressive and dull abruptly. Deirdre’s face turned slightly pale, and she was about to explain herself when Brendan said, “Understood.”He added, “I’m sorry for not understanding the situation from your point of view earlier. You are right. They won’t say it to my face, but they will inevi
Chapter 213 She Was Nothing to Him
When the woman was done speaking, she went straight to the bathroom. The staff member let out a cough after noticing that Deirdre was still sitting in the same spot absentmindedly. She said, “Miss, since you’re working for Mr. Brighthall, it means that you’re no fool. You should understand the situation and leave. There’s a sofa in the lobby outside, and when it’s over, Mr. Brighthall will let you back in the room.”‘Understand what?‘Understand that Brendan has taken a fancy to a woman and that they’re going to carry out a transaction?’Deirdre felt nauseous, and her entire body felt unwell. She propped herself up on the sofa and stood up. If this was Brendan’s choice, she did not have the right to feel any resentment. After all, she was nothing to him. She walked out the door by feeling the wall, and her actions stunned the staff member. “You’re blind?”Deirdre did not answer the staff member but she continued to feel about the area right in front of her. The staff member w
Chapter 214 Why Has She Become So Sensible
It hurt. It hurt so bad that her entire body was shaking.Deirdre held back the urge to cry instinctively. She had already learned that her tears were worthless when she was in jail. “Are you alright?” All of a sudden, it stopped raining above her and a woman’s gentle voice was heard saying, “You’re all by yourself in the rain. What’s going on?”Deirdre turned around, and the woman was stunned for a moment. “You can’t see, huh?”Her eyes were unfocused and empty, which was an obvious sign of a blind person. The woman could not help heaving a sigh. Why would a blind person actually show up in the middle of the night?“It’s almost winter, and the weather today is not so good. It’s very chilly. What brings you to the mountains?”Before Deirdre could answer, someone called out to the woman and she answered the call. Then, she stuffed an umbrella into Deirdre’s hands. “Forget it. I believe that you’re trying to leave the mountain, right? The platform is on the right, and the last b
Chapter 215 Where Is She Now
She looked at Brendan with her seductive eyes, just like a rose about to bloom. Brendan’s expression turned icy instantly, and he exuded an evil, foreboding presence. “Who are you? Who let you into my room?”The woman was so startled that she hastily got up from the bed. “Mr. Brighthall… Please don’t be angry. It’s Mr. Gull… Mr. Gull wants to be a part of this tourism project, so he sent me here…”“Get out of my room!” Brendan spoke through clenched teeth. He found the scent of the fragrance oil in the room so pungent that he was nauseated. He then pulled the bedsheet away from the bed. He refused to take a second glance at anything that the woman touched. “I’ll make sure you wish you were dead if you don’t leave at once!”The woman’s beautiful face turned ghastly. She was not properly dressed yet she did not have the courage to slow down in the slightest. She got out of the room in a haste. “Hold on!”Brendan called out to her. The woman’s heart was racing from anticipat
Chapter 216 You’re Going to Live, I Promise
’I wouldn’t have attended the bullsh*t party had I known that this would happen.’Noticing that Brendan could not be stopped, the hotel manager ordered a bodyguard to follow him.Brendan ran into the rain, and his body was drenched in just a moment. The rain did not feel like water droplets anymore but more like blades. The coldness of the rain cut into his skin like sharp blades. He was terrified.“Deirdre! Deirdre! Come out!”He searched for her everywhere and he assumed that he would be able to locate her within half an hour. That was far from what actually happened. He ran a few tens of meters and found the woman that was constantly on his mind standing at the bus station. She was holding an umbrella to shield herself from the rain. Despite the umbrella, her entire body was drenched due to the strong wind. Her hair was stuck to her drenched clothes, and she was curled up in the corner like an abandoned kitten. Brendan felt piercing pain in his heart. He reacted to the s
Chapter 217 Both of Us Will Die if You Do This
Brendan could only drive at a slower speed, yet Deirdre had already lost consciousness. Her face went from purplish green to burning hot, and she was chanting Ophelia’s name in her unconscious state. Even when she was at her lowest, the first thing on Deirdre’s mind was still Ophelia. Brendan could not bring himself to feel jealous because Ophelia was everything to Deirdre. He could only clench his teeth and comfort her by saying, “Hold on, Deirdre. You will only meet Ophelia if you’re conscious. It has already been more than a year since you last met her. Don’t you want to live a good life? You have to get through this even if you’re only doing this for her!”However, everything went south from then on. The car engine died. The hailstorm did not cease even after the car died halfway through the journey. Brendan removed his jacket and wrapped it around Deirdre’s body. He got out of the car and carried her in his arms as he ran into the rain without any hesitation. However, B
Chapter 218 Don’t Ever Attempt Suicide Regardless
’She must live.’He would regret it very much if she were to die. He would experience an emotional breakdown and he would be utterly heartbroken. However, perhaps he and Deirdre would have died together that rainy night had the Land Rover not come to their rescue in a timely manner. ‘Why was I so reckless at the time?’After turning off the hot water, Brendan wiped his face and walked out of the shower. He found Deirdre alone in the room, her breathing even. She was still chanting Ophelia’s name even in her dreams. Brendan was planning on leaving when he heard Deirdre say in a weak voice, “Live, Brendan. You must live…”His mind began burning with an image all of a sudden at that moment. The woman was standing with her back facing him and saying through clenched teeth something like this in the blazing hot fire. “Live, Brendan. You must live.”Brendan felt like his body was brought back in time for a brief moment. He furrowed his eyebrows, finding this idea amusing. ‘Wh
Chapter 219 She Should Be Warming Up to Him by Now
Brendan lost track of time but he noticed that the whole corridor was dark when he walked out of the study after completing his work. The only source of light was the gap between the door and Deirdre’s room. He opened the door and found Deirdre sitting on the bed in a daze. He furrowed his sharp eyebrows at the sight of Deirdre still fully dressed. “It’s midnight. Why are you still awake and sitting on the bed?”Deirdre was jolted back to reality. She reached for her clothes and said anxiously, “I was trying to recall what type of clothes my mother likes to see me in. I’m planning on wearing something that she likes when I meet her in the morning but I really can’t remember her preferences.”She felt rejected as she talked. She forced a smile, and her head was lowered. “I’m not a good daughter.”Brendan felt a knot in the pit of his stomach, as if the scene before his eyes had triggered something in him. He was astonished that Deirdre was about to meet the woman in the blink of an
