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
Chapter 98 No Other Way to Explain
“Show your hands.”Brendan stood in front of the window, his flawless face radiating coldness at that very moment. He was even speaking in a tone deprived of its prior gentleness. “What…. What happened?” Charlene stretched out her hands with a forced chuckle. “What happened… Why are you being so serious? You’re making me nervous.”Brendan examined her nails. It had only been two days since the incident, so her nails had yet to grow much. They had been manicured into a stiletto shape, making them pointy in the middle. If she were to dig her nails hard into someone’s flesh, it would be considered merciful for the victim to experience puncture wounds and not lose chunks of flesh. “Did you do something to your nails?” asked Brendan with narrowed eyes. “Huh?” Charlene pulled back her hands with a guilty conscience. “I’m not really sure. I got a fresh manicure two days ago. Perhaps they have been polished a little?”“Did you cause the injury on Deirdre’s hands?”All the blood drain
Chapter 99 Ms. McKinney’s Note
“Why would you ask this question?” Brendan’s sharp brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes were filled with disbelief. Deirdre tightened her grip with all her might. She used to believe that Brendan was a heartless, cold-blooded man who would do such a thing to her, of course. However, she was slightly doubtful now.If Brendan had been involved in that incident in an effort to avenge Charlene, why would he force Charlene to apologize to her? He had been impartial to Charlene, just as he had promised. “You need to answer me, yes or no!”“No.” Even though Brendan was incredulous, he gave her an answer. Soon, he sneered and said, “Is that how you think of me in your heart?”‘No?’Deirdre’s thoughts in her head were a chaotic mess. She could only distract herself from her thoughts to calm herself down by focusing on the intense pain in her hands. “Deirdre, what’s on your mind? If I had abducted you, would I be searching for you in the heavy rain after a sleepless night? Would
Chapter 100 Janitor
Brendan folded the note, his expression filled with agitation and his mind a chaotic mess.“Hey, what are you doing?” Sam suddenly noticed a woman sneaking around in the corridor and called out to her.Brendan looked up to take a glance and saw a woman with a panicked expression standing nearby. Sam was about to approach her, but she was so scared that she almost got down on her knees. “I’m sorry! I’m sorry! It was my fault for disappointing Ms. McKinney… Please don’t call the police on me…”Sam was stunned for a moment. “What are you talking about?”The woman muttered to herself with tears streaming down her face. “I knew that I shouldn’t have followed the blind woman’s instructions. I assumed that I was helping someone, yet I ended up putting Ms. McKinney in harm’s way…”Brendan’s pupils constricted. He got up swiftly and approached the woman with an overbearing presence. “Speak properly! Whose instructions were you following?”The woman bowed repeatedly at once because she h
Chapter 101 Still Trying to Deceive Me
“Sam.” Brendan interrupted Sam, his expression icy cold. “You’ve been deceived by her too.”He sneered through his tightly-clenched teeth. “Deirdre made you come to me because she wanted to use today’s plot to guilt me, of course. Then, she would lead me to put the blame on Charlene bit by bit."She is the kind of woman who uses unscrupulous tactics to achieve what she wants from the start. On the other hand, I’ve also almost caused the death of Charlene for a nobody like her!”The anger of being deceived and the guilt of almost causing his savior’s death filled his chest. He felt his head spinning and clenched his fists tightly. He walked toward Deirdre’s room with swift strides and kicked the door. Deirdre was not asleep, but she tensed up at the commotion of the door. Before she could react to the situation, Brendan’s hands were already clutching her throat ferociously. “Ugh…”The feeling of suffocation flooded her entire body, and her neck would be broken at any moment if
Chapter 102 Mr. Brighthall Doesn’t Want to See You
“Brendan? Brendan!”Colors were drained off Deirdre’s face. She pounced at him, throwing her arms around his thigh the exact moment she understood what he meant. He was going to blame it on Sterling again!“I-If you’re mad because Lena almost died, I… I can apologize for that! I will swallow those pills so I can suffer the same pain she’s undergoing right now! But please, stop taking your rage out on innocent people!”“Innocent people?” Brendan scoffed. He lowered himself to her height and grabbed her by her jaw, examining her tears-stricken cheeks. “Here I thought you didn’t believe in concepts like leaving the innocent alone. Isn’t Lena innocent? Christ, Deirdre. You could have come clean with me. Things would have ended much sooner… much better. But you had to accuse her of doing something she didn’t do! You just had to lie to me!”He rose apathetically and kicked her away. Deirdre’s head knocked on the side of the bed. She felt a buzzing shockwave coursing through her brain lik
Chapter 103 Clean Up Your Mess
Deirdre had been stupid. All Brendan cared about was whether Charlene lived. Why would he give a damn about Deirdre’s innocence?Three days passed. She never saw Brendan in her room. He even replaced Sam with a newly-hired nurse, who quickly took advantage of Deirdre’s blindness and how little anyone cared about her. She abused Deirdre—she would finish about half of the meal Deirdre was supposed to have before passing it back to the woman she was supposed to care for. Deirdre hated it. She was not going to eat a stranger’s leftovers, so she pushed the bowl away.“Whoa! Are you actually being picky about your food? Or do you just have a bone to pick with me, huh? You act like me eating your food is disgusting while looking like a disgusting freak yourself! God, can you get over yourself for a hot second? You’re a nobody without family or friends, b*tch. You should be grateful to even have a nurse helping you out!”The nurse was enraged. Deirdre, unfortunately, became an easy target
