    “I can give you money if that is what you want, and the vi has never treated you shabbily if all you


    want is a ce to live. But you still insist on going outside and im that you’re not trying to run away?”

    Brendan spoke in a stern voice. He got up from the chair, moved closer to Deirdre, and clutched her


    shoulders. “Deirdre, I spoiled you by letting you go outside in the


    past few days and you’ve be wildly ambitious. Now you think you’re strong enough to leave?”


    Deirdre was pinned against the door and felt deeply powerless when she heard Brendan’s furious


    remark. “Brendan, I’m a living human being. Don’t I even have the


    right to go and get a job?”


    “You have to be capable of taking care of yourself if you want to go out and get a job. Could you live


    through the winter out there without me? I’m afraid no one would know even if you froze to death out


    there!”


    Brendan had initially intended to tell Deirdre that the outside world would never tolerate a blind person,


    yet his remark sounded extremely unpleasant.


    Deirdre was hurt by the words and bit her lower lip so tightly that it began to bleed. She kept her head


    lowered and did not utter a word.


    Brendan furrowed his eyebrows and caressed her face. “I can give you money if that’s what you want


    and I’m not limiting your freedom to go out. I’ve already given you enough space, so don’t bring up the


    idea of getting a job out there. If anything bad were to happen to you, no one would take care of you.”


    Deirdre pushed away his hand with her icy fingers, her gaze calm. “Understood.”


    He tilted her chin stubbornly to search for emotion on her face, only to discover that her gaze had


    suddenly turned empty once again. Feeling extremely agitated, he said, “Deirdre, I’m doing this for your


    own good.”


    “I understand. I shall leave if there’s nothing else.”


    Deirdre opened the door and walked outside, feeling slightly indifferent in her heart. She had already


    predicted the oue earlier but she still found it hurtful for a brief


    moment.


    Perhaps she was asking for too much, as it was already enough that she had been reunited with


    Ophelia safely. There was a limit to Brendan’s patience, so she should not have challenged his


    patience over and over again.

    Deirdre expressed her disappointment when she returned to her room. Maeve figured out what had


    happened but she still approached Deirdre and asked, “What happened? Did Brendan not agree to the


    proposal?”


    Deirdre forced a smile and said, “He… He is worried that I would be treated unjustly out there. After all,


    I can’t see. I think he’s right about me. I am blind, so I should just stay home instead of chasing after


    some dream. I’m not a teenager anymore…”


    Maeve caressed Deirdre’s face. “It’s fine. It will not be toote for you to get a job when youplete


    your eye treatment and recover your eyesight.”


    “Hmm.” Deirdre’s head was a chaotic mess of thoughts. She ended the conversation briefly, took a


    shower, andy on the bed to rest.


    She was emotionally exhausted and soon fell asleep when sleepiness overpowered her.


    Meanwhile, Brendan had been smoking so much in the study that the floor was covered in cigarette


    butts. He shut the document in the end and headed to Deirdre’s


    room.


    He knocked on her door, and Maeve turned around to look at Deirdre. “Mr. Brighthall.”


    “Is she asleep?”


    Maeve nodded. Brendan followed Maeve’s gaze and saw the woman’s tiny, skinny body curled up on


    the bed under the nket.


    “Did she say anything to you when she returned?” he asked after a moment.


    “No. Ms. McKinnon was not in a good mood. She went to sleep after taking a shower.”


    Brendan furrowed his eyebrows. “What happened when you and Deirdre went out? Why is she


    suddenly talking about getting a job?”


    Maeve recounted the sequence of events in detail, and Brendan fell silent.


    Maeve would not have meddled in Deirdre’s affairs in the past. However, she could not help speaking


    at the thought of how joyous Deirdre had been when her capability had been recognized and how


    dejected she had been after being rejected. “Mr. Brighthall, Ms. McKinnon ys the piano beautifully.


    You should listen to her perform if you have the opportunity. It feels like she is a different person, one


    who has been given a soul, when she ys.”
