Chapter 90 His Enthusiasm Was for Nothing
Deirdre’s entire body was shaking. Sam pinched her lower jaw to pry open her mouth forcefully in order to prevent her from biting herself.“Don’t hurt yourself, Ms. McKinnon. Mr. Brighthall is going to feel sorry for you if he sees this.”‘Feel sorry?’Deirdre burst out laughing. She had assumed that Brendan had perhaps realized his error when he had stood in front of the family mansion. In truth, he had done it so that he could torment her more easily. How could a person like him feel sorry for her?If he had felt sorry for her, would he have done nothing when her face had been cruelly destroyed, when her child had been aborted, and when she had been bullied in prison?He had been a cold, heartless devil all this time.Deirdre shut her eyes and felt intense fatigue overpowering her entire body. She had felt like her world was dark for a moment. Now, it felt as if she had found something that she’d thought was hope in the darkness, only to find that her hands were covered in
Chapter 91 What if I Don’t Apologize
He had not been counting on Deirdre to cry in sympathy or have a sleepless night when he was sick, yet she had not even bothered to show any concern for him!He wondered if she wanted him to die from the illness so that she could be with Sterling without no scruples. ‘How can this woman be so cruel!’ he sighed inwardly.Charlene brushed back the long hair covering her neck at this time. She pretentiously attempted to comfort him by saying, “Don’t blame Ms. McKinnon, Bren. Her body has always been weak, so I suppose she didn’t want to be infected. Besides, she wasn’t in a good mood yesterday…”Brendan narrowed his eyes at the sight of the marks on Charlene’s neck. “What happened to your neck?”Charlene’s face turned pale abruptly, and she covered her neck with her long hair once again. “It’s… It’s nothing…”“Do you really want me to look into this?”Charlene bit her lower lip. “It’s really nothing. Ms. McKinnon was in a bad mood, so it was only normal that she took it out on me.
Chapter 92 It’s Because He Won’t Believe You
“It’s fine if you don’t apologize.” Brendan’s expression was cruel. “However, I hope you don’t regret this.”“Are you going to take it out on Sterling again?” Deirdre’s entire body was shaking. “Is this all that you can do?!”Brendan was not planning to do that, yet he was infuriated that she would risk her life to protect him, so he said, “That’s right! You can choose not to apologize to her, but I will make sure that Sterling is on the most popular searches and enjoys the best treatment the paparazzi have to offer these days. You’re going to thank me then!”‘Brendan is merciless. He would actually blackmail me to this extent…‘It is obviously Charlene who hit me first, yet I’m forced to apologize to her. There is no unfairness in Brendan’s world, but there is favoritism when it comes to the woman he loves,’ thought Deirdre inwardly. She was used to that and uttered, “Sure, I’ll apologize!”Charlene stood at the door. She walked into the room when the timing was about right and
Chapter 93 Listen to the Other Side of the Story
Everyone, including Sam, knew that Charlene had saved Brendan’s life and was aware of her status. No one would have the courage to challenge Charlene’s status because Charlene could not be defeated. Besides, she was vengeful, so anyone who challenged her would be doomed. “Sure… I shall get someone to dress your wound first, or it will get infected easily.”Deirdre forced a smile on her pale face. “Thank you…”“Don’t mention it.”-Brendan did not take a step into the hospital in the next few days. However, he did not visit Charlene either. Instead, he worked on his documents in the office, alone until late at night, before falling asleep in the room there. However, he would have trouble falling asleep as soon as he shut his eyes, his head filled with images of Deirdre. He was furious, and he wondered why a blind woman would affect his mood so much. He turned over and got out of bed. He then put on his jacket and left the building. When he arrived at the hospital, Sam was ca
Chapter 94 How Did You Get Injured?
‘Listen to the other side of the story?’Brendan was stunned for a moment. He had never cared about Deirdre’s side of the story because Charlene would never lie to him. However…“You said Charlene made a provocative remark?” He could not help raising an eyebrow because Charlene had never mentioned this to him. Sam nodded in haste. “It was my first time seeing Ms. McKinnon so furious. After I restrained Ms. McKinnon, Ms. McKinney made the remark, but I can’t remember the details.”“Noted.” Brendan exhaled and said, “You can go home and rest. I’ll be here.”“Sure.”Sam left. Brendan looked at the woman lying on the bed from the door, his head filled with Sam’s words about Charlene making a provocative remark. He wondered what Charlene had said and why Deirdre had not mentioned it. He was upset when he entered the room. Deirdre was still resting on the bed, but she seemed to be restless in her sleep. Her eyebrows were furrowed tightly, and for some reason, her hand that lay a
Chapter 95 Would It Kill You to Stop Vilifying Her
“...I forgot. I believe that I burned myself accidentally when I was drinking warm water.”“You’re lying!” Brendan tightened his grip over her lower jaw. He knew Deirdre so well that he knew she would lower her head subconsciously to avoid him every time she lied. “If you don’t tell the truth, don’t blame me for holding Sam accountable.”Deirdre took a deep breath, shut her eyes, then opened them again. “Charlene did it. Are you satisfied?”Brendan assumed a disgusted expression as soon as she said it. “Deirdre, you must know your limits when you’re trying to frame someone! Charlene was with me all day long on the 19th, so how could she have hurt you! Would it kill you to stop vilifying Charlene?”‘Here we go again.’Deirdre wanted to laugh. He had done everything he could to force her to tell the truth but he refused to believe her when she told the truth. In that case, what was the point of her being honest?“This is the answer you’ll get if you don’t want me to lie. There’s no
Chapter 96 She Didn’t Lie
“There’s no wound on the patient’s hand?” The nurse was caught by surprise. “There is a wound, though. It’s very serious. It’s not only infected, but the wound will discharge pus at night. That is why we keep the wound bandaged.”“Infected?” Brendan got up from his seat. “When did that happen?”The nurse thought for a moment. “On the morning of the 19th.”Deirdre was actually telling the truth. She had been injured on the morning of the 19th. On the other hand, that morning…Brendan could not help breathing heavily as the image of Charlene showing up that morning popped into his mind. He clenched his fists tightly and asked eagerly, “What does the wound look like?”The nurse was startled but she did not have the courage not to reply. She considered it closely for a moment before she pointed at the back of her hand. “It’s injured here, here, and here. It’s all covered in puncture wounds, and her hand bruised up right away. Her flesh was dug out of her skin, and she was bleeding pro
Chapter 97 Don’t Give Someone Who Made a Mistake a Chance
“It’s done. I helped you to drain the pus completely, and that is why it hurts. Remember not to get your dressing wet and you’ll be fine. As for the scarring, it will depend on your skin type.”“Thank you so much.”The nurse answered smilingly, “Don’t mention it.” She then left, pushing the trolley after she was done cleaning up. As soon as the door was shut, the room turned so quiet abruptly that it felt suffocating. Brendan clenched his fists tightly and braced himself to speak after a few attempts. “If everything you said is true, why didn’t you explain yourself a few more times?”Deirdre’s gaze was empty. He mocked, bantered, and humiliated constantly whenever she made one remark. If she were to explain herself further, she knew that she would be doomed. Brendan realized that he was at fault too. He pursed his thin lips and said, “Deirdre, it’s very difficult for me to trust you because of your history of…”“Are you done? I’m tired and I would really like to rest.”She s
