Chapter 379 What Are You Trying to Say

The bodyguard was furious to be scolded so ferociously.

‘You haven’t even married Mr. Brighthall, yet you’re acting like you’re the woman of the house, putting on airs and

reprimanding the subordinates.”

Nonetheless, he only had the courage to think about that. He braced himself to say, “Miss McKinney, we understand

your intention. However, we don’t have the right to make decisions for Mr. Brighthall as his subordinates. Who are

we to stop Mr. Brighthall from leaving if he wants to?”

“Are you incapable of calling me then?”

The bodyguard took a glance at Charlene without speaking. He looked like he was saying,” Not even God could do

anything if He were here, let alone you.”

Charlene was exasperated and pointed at the door. “Get out!”

The bodyguards left in dejection and shut the door.

Charlene stayed in the room by herself and suddenly noticed not a trace of wrinkles could be found on the bed. It

did not look like anyone had slept in the bed.

She walked forward, and just as her hand touched the bed, the door was opened.

Brendan stood at the door. His tall and strong body was bent forward ever so slightly because of the wound on his

abdomen. His flawlessly handsome face was sickly and pale, and only his gaze was as cold as before. It was as if he

had stopped smiling ever since Deirdre was gone.

Charlene approached him at once and said anxiously, “Where did you go, Brendan? You’re injured so severely. Why

won’t you stay in bed? What if your condition were to deteriorate? What are we going to do?”

Brendan could not even be bothered to look up when he shoved away the woman’s approaching hands. “I went out

to get some fresh air. Why did you make it sound like I’m. dead?”

Charlene was aggrieved. “Is it wrong that I worry for you? The doctor said that you should rest and not go outside.

You know what happened to your wound when you went outside previously.”

“It was an accident previously, and I know my body well.” Brendan sat on the edge of the bed and looked up to ask,

“Didn’t I ask you to return to Neve? Why are you back here. . again?”

“Brendan…” Charlene’s expression froze. “You don’t want me here?”

“No.” Brendan propped his forehead. He felt his head throbbing in pain. “I can’t help feeling worried about leaving

my mother all alone in Neve. She needs you near her to keep her calm, and there’s nothing for you to do here.”

“How is there nothing for me to do? Aren’t you bored being in the room by yourself? Isn’t it a little better to have

me keep you company, at the very least? Or…” Charlene implied something more than what she said. She stared

at Brendan’s face closely and said, “Do you think I’m bothering you?”

Brendan furrowed his eyebrows and asked Charlene, “What are you trying to say?”

Charlene bit her lower lip. Naturally, she wanted to ask if Brendan was aware of Deirdre’s whereabouts.

She commissioned someone to gather information on Deirdre yesterday and planned to abduct Deirdre today. Yet,

she discovered that Deirdre was suddenly elusive. She had someone hindering Charlene’s plan and attempting to

find out about her identity.

Other than Brendan, she could not figure out who would be tolerant enough to help a blind woman like Deirdre in

this place.

Hence, she wanted to figure out if Brendan was aware of Deirdre’s presence in this hospital. If he was aware, she

would temporarily stop her plan.

“I’m not trying to say anything, but I’m only worried about you.” Charlene braced herself to smile. “I’m worried that

you might be lonely. Do you have someone to keep you company in the hospital?”

“There are bodyguards out there, right?”

Charlene bit her lower lip. “I’m talking about a woman. Could it be that you haven’t encountered any acquaintances

in the hospital?”
