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 you company 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 blank.

‘Brendan… is in this hospital?‘

At the thought of the man’s possessiveness, coldness and how he had declared that he wanted to start over again

his relationship 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 time

composing herself.

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