Resent Reject, Regret By Aqua Summers Chapter 348


    Chapter 348 Brendan Is in the Hospital


    “I know that it’s not your intention to worry us, but I regret even more that I can’t keep


    youpany during this time.” Tobey sounded tired when he asked Deirdre, “Who is this


    Mr. Reed?”


    Deirdre was momentarily stunned and bit her lower lip before she told Kyran that she


    was going out to take the call. She took the liberty to walk out of the room and shut the


    door before she said, “He’s a new acquaintance of mine.”


    “He seems to object to my presence very much,” Tobey said half–jokingly, yet with a


    tinge of seriousness. “It would be great if I were by your side.”


    Deirdre’s expression turned gentle. She was about to speak when someone walked past


    her and said with excitement that could not be concealed, “Do you know that Brendan


    Brighthall from Neve is in our hospital?”


    All the blood drained from Deirdre’s face instantly, and her eyes widened incredulously


    as she looked in the direction of the source of the voice.


    The voice continued to say, “I heard that he is still single, and rumor has it that he’s


    handsome and graceful. It would be great if I could meet him!”


    “Dream on.” The other person teased by saying, “Even if he is still single, he will be


    married soon. Haven’t you heard of the news of his engagement soon? His girlfriend is


    very pretty, and I think she’s the heiress of an influential family.”


    “He’s not married yet. Perhaps he might take a fancy to someone like me even if he is


    engaged?”


    “Nonsense! Oh right.” The woman asked, “Why is Brendan Brighthall admitted to our


    hospital? We’re at least two hour’s drive away from Neve, right?”


    “I’m not too sure either. It is said that it’s inconvenient for him to be admitted to Neve’s


    hospitals because of the crowd of reporters, so he is here to seek treatment…”


    The voices moved further and further away. Deirdre’s body was trembling abruptly as if


    she was drenched in ice water, and her mind went nk.


    ‘Brendan… is in this hospital?‘


    At the thought of the man’s possessiveness, coldness and how he had dered that he


    wanted to start over again his rtionship with her, Deirdre’s teeth were chattering while


    her body was shivering beyond her notice.


    ‘If… If he were to find out that I’m not only alive but also in the same hospital now…‘


    Fear and terror almost overpowered her senses until Tobey’s voice pulled her back to


    reality. “What’s going on, Deirdre?”


    Deirdre was incapable of moving her legs. Her lips parted, and she bit her lower lip


    ferociously to calm herself with great effort. “Nothing… Tobey, I’m rather tired from the


    journey and would like to get some rest first…”


    “Sure, you may get some rest first. Remember to charge your phone, so I can keep in


    touch with you anytime.”


    “Hmm.”


    After the call ended, Deirdre felt her back covered in a cold sweat from fear, and she was


    having a hard timeposing herself.


    Her sealed heart began to be flooded with intense uneasiness. In fact, a thought had


    even urred to her.


    ‘Run!‘


    There was still time for her to run now. If she were to bump into Brendan, he would


    capture her, and she would live in agony for the rest of her life.


    Yet, she had utterly no idea where she was, so how could she run? Moreover, what


    about Kyran? She was there to see him, so would it be appropriate for her to leave after


    the brief visit?


    Deirdre swallowed a gulp of saliva. She tried calming herself a few times before


    returning to the room again.


    She passed the phone to Kyran, but she was still distracted.


    Kyran looked at her solemnly and asked her with a typed message, “What’s going on?


    What happened? Why do you look so pale?”


    “I’m fine.”


    Deirdre wiped her face and forced herself to perk up. She tried to convince herself that


    the hospital was huge and Brendan had yet to recover from his injury. They may not


    necessarily bump into each other so coincidentally.


    On the other hand, she would not be discovered if she was careful.

    “I can tell if you really are fine.” Kyran paused for a moment. “Miss McKinnon, you can


    tell me if you are going through some difficulty that is hard to tell. I’ll protect you.”
