Resent, Reject, Regret By Aqua Summers Chapter 16


    Chapter 16 She’s Trying to Run Away


    Brendan punched a wall when Deirdre was sent to the hospital. He punched it so hard that he began


    bleeding from his knuckles, yet the anger in his heart was not


    vented.


    ‘Run away? Why is she still trying to run away?


    She wanted to entrap me with the child two years ago. She was so loving and unwilling to part with me


    at the time, so what changed?


    ‘What the heck happened!’


    “Brendan! Are you alright?” Charlene came rushing over and held his hand when she saw the blood on


    his knuckles. She instructed a nurse to bring over a bandaid.“ You’re not even concerned that your


    hand is bleeding. What’s the matter?”


    “I’m fine.” Brendan pulled back his hand. “Why are you here?”


    Charlene would never reveal that Steven had called to


    notify her, of course. She made up an excuse and said, ” My friend, who was having a checkup at the


    hospital, saw you and notified me.”


    She took a nce at Deirdre, who was receiving a transfusion in the ward. “Is that Ms. McKinnon ?


    What happened?”


    Brendan was growing impatient because his anger was still not vented. Therefore, he said, “Something


    happened to her and I brought her here.”


    “How did you find Ms. McKinnon to bring her to the hospital?” Charlene did her best not to seem overly


    concerned but she was having trouble maintaining the smile on her face. “Did you two meet up in


    private?”


    ‘Given Deidre’s current state, any ordinary man would find the sight of her disgusting. Why is Brendan


    still paying attention to her?’


    Brendan answered with a ‘hmm’impatiently.


    Charlene’s eyes reddened and filled with tears ever so slightly. “Brendan, you’ve been spending less


    time with me since you met Ms. McKinnon, and now you’re telling


    me that you’re meeting her in private. You don’t even care that your hand is injured… Tell me, do you


    still have feelings for her?”


    ‘Have feelings for her?’

    Those four words made Brendan furrow his eyebrows abruptly, his dark pupils full of hatred. “How can


    that be possible!”


    ‘I have multiple female suitors. Why would I have feelings for Deirdre? What a joke!’


    “So you…”


    “I’m only trying to discover the child’s whereabouts,” Brendan said. “He’s mine, after all. I can’t allow


    him to be out there, especially when Deirdre is in this state. I can’t let the child endure hardships out in


    the world.”


    The child?’


    Charlene pursed her lips. She knew very well that Deirdre had miscarried a long time ago.


    “Also, Sterling actually told me that he encountered Deirdrest fall and that Deirdre was already


    disfigured


    and blinded at the time.” Brendan narrowed his eyes. “As I recall, that was when Deirdre was released


    from jail. Besides, she was released from jailpletely unscathed, so how can she possibly be


    disfigured and blinded now? I would like an exnation!”


    Charlene felt her heart sink and let out a forced chuckle.“


    Brendan , perhaps Sterling lied to you? Why would you take it so seriously?”


    Brendan was convinced that it was a lie as well. ‘Yet, how am I going to exin Deirdre’s unusual


    behavior if Sterling is really lying to me?’


    Meanwhile , Deirdre, who was receiving a transfusion in the ward, suddenly moved as if she had


    regained consciousness.


    Brendan immediately stepped forward in preparation to open the door, while Charlene gasped in


    surprise,“ Brendan, your hand is not dressed yet!”.


    “It’s fine, I won’t die,” Brendan said. “It’s gettingte, you should go home. I’ll go home too when this


    gets rified.”


    Upon saying that, he took it upon himself to open and shut the door behind him, isting Charlene.


    Charlene was furious yet she remembered something and pulled out her phone to send a text message


    in a rush.


    Brendan entered the room. Despite just regaining consciousness, Deirdre assumed a vignt


    demeanor, backing away with all her might and failing to notice the backflow of blood in her intravenous


    tube.


    Brendan was furious to see that Deirdre was scared of him.


    Besides, it was not a fear born of admiration and affection. but the kind of fear that was ingrained deep


    into her . bones.
