Resent Reject, Regret By Aqua Summers Chapter 170


    Chapter 170 You Should Be Comforting Yourself


    Brendan dialed the phone number, and when the call was connected, he passed the phone to Deirdre.


    The doctor sounded very stable as he said, “Miss McKinnon, I understand how eager you are to see


    your mother. However, because your mother’s heart issue is at a critical junction, it’s not advisable for


    her to see you. If meeting you affects her emotions, our hard work all this while will be in vain.”


    “T-Then…” Deirdre asked while biting her lip, “When can I see my mother?”


    “It won’t take long, Miss McKinnon. Provided that her situation gets better, probably in about a few


    months. It’d be good for you to see your mother.”


    “Alright.”


    After ending the phone call, Deirdre was still in a daze. She had to wait for several months. When every


    moment of her life was like a year, could she really survive through a few months?


    Looking at Deirdre’s bewildered expression, Brendan couldn’t help raising his hand, wanting to stroke


    the messy hair on her forehead. But before he could touch her head, Deirdre seemed to sense it and


    took a step back.


    When Brendan recollected himself, he frowned again. “Do you need another form ofpensation?”


    Another form ofpensation? When Deirdre thought about it, she realized that she didn’t.


    Perhaps she needed one thing-she wanted to leave. However, she knew clearly that if she were to


    voice this desire, Brendan would not be happy and surely wouldn’t fulfill her request.


    “No.” Deirdre replied in a raspy voice, “I don’t think so.”


    For a moment, Brendan had a hint of sympathy on his face. But when he spoke, he said nonchntly,


    You may think about it and tell me when you figure it out.”


    “Okay.”

    Deirdre looked nk as she paced toward the stairs, staggering away from Brendan and going up to


    her own room step by step.


    How much she had hoped that the truth behind Bliss’s death would be revealed so that the real


    murderer would pay the price… However, she now deeply understood how naive her thoughts had


    been.


    Charlene’s position in Brendan’s heart was unshakable. He would not do anything. In fact, he was even


    more reluctant to punish Charlene.


    Deirdre buried her head in the pillow, and the pillow was soon soaked with tears.


    I’m sorry, Bliss. I have beenpletely ipetent.”


    Overwhelmed by these emotions, Deirdre fell into a deep slumber. When she woke up, she couldn’t tell


    what time it was. She only knew that Sam was already there when she got downstairs.


    “Miss McKinnon.” Sam strode toward Deirdre. He had seen Brendan just got out this morning, which


    meant that Brendan had been there yesterday evening.


    “How’s it going? Did you show the document to Mr. Brighthall?”


    Upon hearing Sam’s question, Deirdre felt heartache. Sam had been working hard to gather enough


    evidence regarding this matter. He must have thought that the matter would be resolved with just a few


    words.


    In return, Deirdre had merely received the promise ofpensation in a condescending tone.


    “How’s it going?” Upon seeing Deirdre remain silent for some time, Sam vaguely guessed something. ”


    Miss McKinney found herself a good excuse, didn’t she?”


    “No.” Deirdre smiled wryly. In fact, it wasn’t a good excuse. It was ame excuse that no one would


    believe.


    “Anyway, this matter is over.” Deirdre felt sorry for Sam. “I’m sorry, Sam. I was not considerate enough.


    I let your hard work go to waste.”


    “No worries, McKinnon. You shouldn’t apologize to me.” While feeling surprised, Sam stared closely at


    Deirdre’s face and sympathized with her. “Aren’t you the one who’s been hurt the most?”


    Sam added, “I just found something by ident and dug it out. But you should have ced a lot more


    hope in it, as the one who needsfort the most is you.”
