FreeNovelChapter 207 Are You Getting Rid of Me Because of Deirdre?
“No, of course not.” Brendan did his best to deny it. ‘Hate Charlene? That would be impossible, of
course. Charlene is my savior, so I would never feel that way for her just because of that particular
reason.‘
Charlene’s expression relaxed slightly when she noticed how determined Brendan was about denying
it. She sat closer to him and said, “Why did you leave so suddenly then? Even if there is something
important to do at the company, you still need to prioritize your health over anything else, okay?”
“Hmm,” Brendan replied nonchalantly, yet his gaze was constantly sweeping over the shut door.
Charlene took a glance at the door as well. She felt her heart racing but forced a chuckle. “What are
you looking at… Brendan? Do you need something?”
Brendan got straight to the point. “Where’s Deidre? Why hasn’t she returned after such a long time?
Wasn’t she supposed to fetch me water?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCharlene’s smile froze on her face. “Ms. McKinnon… passed me the glass when she saw me. I
suppose she wanted to give us some privacy, which is why she hasn’t come here.” 2
‘Give us some privacy?‘
Brendan felt a knot in the pit of his stomach yet had no idea how to vent his anger because that was
just
how Deirdre behaved.
She had never competed or fought right from the start. He would say coldly whenever he was with her,
” I’m only willing to touch you because of Charlene. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even be bothered to take a
glance at a woman like you.”
She would express her sorrow but hold back her emotions. She would nod and answer, “I understand.”
Brendan felt his heart wrench in pain at the thought. How cruel and cold had he been in the past? 1
“It’s cold outside, but there’s heating in the house. I’ll go and look for her.” Brendan removed the
blanket and was about to get up with the transfusion fluid in his hand.
Charlene’s face turned pale abruptly, and her eyes widened in incredulousness. “Brendan…”
Her voice was shaky, and she was holding back her displeasure. “You’re going to get blood backflow if
you keep moving like this. Ms. McKinnon is no fool. She knows how to dress warmer if she’s cold.”
“This is her room, where all her clothes are kept. She has nowhere else to go.”
Brendan got out of the room, holding the transfusion fluid, and found the woman downstairs. She was
sitting on the sofa in a daze, and the sight of her tiny, emaciated body was pitiful.
She looked like a homeless child.
Brendan clenched his teeth tightly and felt like he was about to lose his temper. However, he had no
idea why he felt that way. Deirdre had always exhausted every means to dull her existence and neglect
her own needs. ‘Why would I think that Deirdre was a sinister, unscrupulous woman who would resort
to anything?‘ 1
“Brendan…” Charlene walked outside in a haste and found Brendan looking at Deirdre. The sight of his
gaze, which looked almost gentle and affectionate, was a crushing blow to her. She felt a sense of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmuneasiness growing inside her but attempted to calm herself with great effort. She pleaded softly. “Let’s
go back in the room, okay? The back of your hand is going to get bruised if you do this. Don’t you want
me to stay for a little while because I don’t get to visit you often?
“As for Ms. McKinnon, isn’t she fine by herself downstairs? You can see her at any time if you want but
I
don’t live here.”
Charlene was right. However, the more Brendan looked at Deirdre, the lonelier he found her. He was
the one who had destroyed her hope and eyes.
He furrowed his eyebrows. “You should go home, Charlene.”
Charlene was astonished. “What are you talking about, Brendan… Are you getting rid of me because of
Deirdre? Tell me! Have you fallen for Deirdre?”
She was extremely anxious. She waited for Brendan’s denial eagerly for a long time, only to hear his
silence. She was incredulous. “Brendan, have you forgotten the promise you made when I saved you in
the past?”
