Deirdre’s head was knocked against the wall after being pushed. Before she could relieve the pain, she immediately came to her senses when she heard Freya's cry. "What? Bleeding? Where is the bleeding?"Freya gnashed her teeth and glared at Deirdre, extremely unhappy. "How did you look after Mr. Reed? You should be considered a care worker, right? But you didn't even know that something happened to the wound!?"Deirdre’s mind was blank.There was something wrong with the wound!? Kyran obviously hadn't moved at all on the bed, so how could something have happened to the surgical wound?Following that, she thought about helping Kyran go to the restroom last night, but Kyran insisted on supporting himself. At that time, she had vaguely heard the sound of gasping. Could it be that time…Deirdre's eyes turned red all of a sudden. She was rather afraid and even more regretful.Suddenly, Deirdre felt her hand was touched by chilly fingertips, which wrapped her hand immediately. The palm
In the end, the doctor and Freya left. After the door was closed, Kyran apologized to Deirdre, “I’m sorry for using your name like that to reject her.”Deirdre still couldn’t quite return to her senses. She felt a little uncomfortable when Kyran was being so polite with her. “It’s okay.”“It didn’t do me any harm anyway,” she said. “But she’s a nurse. Who’s going to take care of you after rejecting her and the help from the caretaker?”Kyran was stunned for a moment and asked, “Can I ask you a favor, Deirdre?”“What is it?”“Can you help me wash my body?” Deirdre’s face turned red for a moment before turning pale after hearing his question. She bit her lower lips tightly and said, “I… I don’t think I can help you anyway. I messed it up when I tried to help you last time. If I hurt you again, I won’t be able to forgive myself.”“I’m sure you’ll be alright this time,” typed Kyran. “No one else in this world would make me feel relieved more than you. I’m sure you’ll do a great job
“I think so too,” Freya said, gritting her teeth. She wouldn’t have any problem with it, no matter how upset she was, if Kyran’s girlfriend were someone who was even prettier than her. But the thing right now was that his girlfriend was that ugly woman. It was something that she would never accept. “I really don’t understand why Mr. Reed would fall in love with that ugly b*tch. Doesn’t he feel sick looking at her? Besides, they also spent a night together in the same ward last night. Even though they weren’t sleeping in the same bed, wouldn’t Mr. Reed be scared when he opened his eyes and saw her ugly face?”Deidre lowered her head and touched her face. There was nothing but scars and wounds on her face whenever her fingers touched.Deirdre knew she was ugly but was she really that scary? Would she really make someone have a nightmare if they looked at her? “Doesn’t Mr. Reed feel disgusted? Is there something wrong with him? Even if he doesn’t care, doesn't she have any self-awar
The kid was still crying no matter how hard his mother comforted him. He was obviously scared by Deirdre, and the woman flew into a rage. “What the h*ll are you doing here? Look at what you’ve done to my kid! Don’t you know how ugly and scary you are? Why do you still want to come out? You should’ve locked yourself up in your house!” Deirdre felt hurt, as if someone had stabbed her in the heart. She forced the pain down and apologized to the woman.However, the woman refused to accept her apology. She shouted, “Get the h*ll out of here! My kid is going to have a nightmare seeing your face!”Declan’s face sank as he said in a cold tone, “Do you own this hospital? Do you have your name carved in this place? Who do you think you are to chase us out of here?”The woman was displeased when Declan stepped forward to stand up for Deirdre. “She can’t blame me. Look at how ugly she is. It’s illegal to run naked on the street, and someone like her with such an ugly face should be locked up
Kyran’s hand trembled. “What did you call me?” Something flickered in Deirdre’s eyes as she repeated, “Mr. Reed.” Kyran took a deep breath to calm himself down and said, “Declan, can you give us a minute?” Declan knew that he did not have any right to meddle with their affairs, so he did as he was told. Before he went out, he closed the door.“What did I do wrong, Deirdre?” asked Kyran. Deirdre’s eyes turned red when she heard what Kyran said. It took her a lot of effort to suppress the urge to cry as she took a few deep breaths. He had not done anything wrong at all. The one who was at fault was her. He was out of her league. She should know her place and keep her distance from him. “No, you didn’t do anything wrong. It’s just that I think I should keep my distance from you.” Nobody talked for a long while after she finished speaking. Just as she thought Kyran would not say anything, she heard him trying to get off the bed. She jerked her head up and was startled. She
Deirdre thought how scary her face would be, but she figured it must look terrible. Otherwise, the kid wouldn’t have cried when he saw her face.She let out a self-deprecating smile, and her head went blank again when she thought of Kyran.She wondered why he wouldn’t be scared of her. Did he really not care about her appearance, or was he just taking pity on her because of his ex-girlfriend? So he did not care about her appearance at all.If it were the latter, then she would feel very sad. Four years ago, she became Brendan’s wife because she looked like Charlene. Four years later, she gained Kyran’s sympathy because of the same reason again.Tears began to fall from the corner of her eye as she slowly slipped into slumber.The next day, Declan did not receive any call from Deirdre. He had no choice but to tell the attendant to keep an eye on Deirdre before heading to the hospital alone.He pushed the door open. It occurred to him that Kyran might not have slept the previous
Freya hastily defended herself by saying, “Moreover, I had utterly no idea that Miss McKinnon was standing right behind me when I made that remark at the time. I was only venting to my friend without her knowledge. Had I known that she was standing behind me, I wouldn’t have said so!”Kyran felt his head spinning upon hearing that. He inhaled a deep breath, shut his eyes, and thought about what Deirdre had told him yesterday. ‘Her expression and mannerisms were awful.‘So, it turns out that she was implying this.’He clenched his fists without his notice and felt his chest burning with fury. Kyran felt sad for Deirdre too because he knew she would be deeply saddened to hear those remarks.He opened his eyes once again. There was only boundless hatred in his deep, dark eyes. He looked at Freya as if he were looking at an extremely filthy piece of trash.“How dare you still speak so audaciously when you casually criticized and insulted someone’s appearance. Nurse Rene, aren’t yo
Deirdre had no idea how to face Kyran when she remembered how she had gone too far with her remarks yesterday.Since they couldn't be together, it would be better to end the relationship as quickly and less painfully as possible. She was caught in a daze for more than ten minutes before a call came. Deirdre found the number her phone read out to be very familiar. It was Declan’s number. She hesitated for a moment before she picked up the call. “Hello.”“It’s me, Deirdre.”Deirdre was stunned for a moment. “I know.”“Will you be coming today?” Kyran went straight to the point. “I have something that I wish to go over with you.”“What is it?”“I’ll tell you when you’re here.”Deirdre was still in a daze after the call ended. She thought about what Kyran had told her and how serious he sounded.‘Why is he doing this? Is he planning on sending me to Alnwick after pondering over the nature of our relationship?’Deirdre felt her chest tighten for an unknown reason when the tho
