Chapter 518 The Mastermind of the Abduction Has Been Captured

“Sure.”

Deirdre stretched out her hands in preparation to clean the table after Declan left, but Kyran took over the

task. “I’ll do it.”

“You have just only recovered from a fever. Sit down.” Deirdre was worried.

Kyran smiled and said, “You cooked, so it’s my duty to do the dishes. Having moderate exercise is good for health

too. You sit down.”

He took the utensils from Deirdre’s hands and walked to the kitchen. He checked his phone before he

walked away and found a text message from Declan.

[I hope that you will think it through.]

Kyran turned off the screen and walked to the kitchen.

He bustled about in the kitchen while Deirdre sat on the sofa by herself until her phone rang. She picked up and

heard Hoyt’s voice coming from the other end. “It’s me, Miss McKinnon.”

Deirdre paused for a moment, yet she was not surprised by Hoyt’s call. They had left in a hurry, and she did not

wish to disturb him, so she had left her phone number with Mrs. Cox.

“Mr. Leigh, I’m sorry for troubling you yesterday. Kyran has almost fully recovered from his high fever, so we came

back to the city to get him checked in the hospital first. I didn’t manage to inform you before I

left.”

She spoke in a gentle voice.

Kyran turned off the tap and looked toward Deirdre as soon as he heard the words ‘Mr. Leigh‘.

Hoyt hastily said, “It’s fine! It’s important for him to seek medical care. I requested my father to send someone to

clear the road in the beginning just so it’d be convenient for Mr. Reed to get to the hospital. This is great news!”

Deirdre chuckled. “The more reason for me to thank you. I’m planning on staying in the city for a while now. If you

have anything that you need help with or something else, call me anytime. If it’s within my capabilities, I’ll try to

figure out a way to help for sure.”

“You don’t have to do that…” muttered Hoyt. Then, he said, “Oh right, why did you suddenly decide not to leave,

Miss McKinnon? Did something happen?”

“Nothing much. It’s just my eyes. I learned that my eyesight can improve with medicine after the consultation, so I

made the decision to stay for a month and monitor my eyes‘ condition.”

“I see.” Hoyt was relieved. “That’s great too. It will surely make things much easier for you if you can see,

Miss McKinnon.”

“That’s right,” Deirdre replied smilingly. She suddenly realized that someone was standing in front of her. She raised

her head, and a man’s outline came into view.

“Who are you talking to on the phone?”

His tone did not sound as calm as usual, and it was obviously tainted with a tinge of jealousy.

“It’s Mr. Leigh. What’s going on?”

“I don’t feel well.”

Deirdre grew anxious instantly. “Which part of your body doesn’t feel well?”

“My heart.” Kyran did not even blink in guilt, but he said conscientiously, “I feel even more unwell, especially when I

heard you chatting with someone else while you ignored me, who was doing dishes in the kitchen.” 1

Deirdre was stunned for a moment when she heard his vague declaration of love. She could not help feeling

amused and said while she covered the phone’s microphone, “Sit down if you feel unwell. I’ll do

the dishes later.”

“I can’t bear to let you do it either.”

He left her with no choice but to say softly, “I will end the conversation soon.”

Kyran let the matter drop and turned around to return to the kitchen.

Deirdre cleared her throat and adjusted her hold on the phone. Before she could speak, Hoyt said smilingly, “That’s

all for today, Miss McKinnon. It’s time for me to go to work, coincidentally. You should go back to keep Mr. Reed

company.”

Her face was burning with shyness. She did not expect Hoyt to overhear the conversation because she had covered

the microphone with her hand.

“Sure, we’ll speak again.”

She ended the call in embarrassment. She was about to stand up to go to the kitchen when her phone rang once

again.

“Who’s calling again?” Kyran walked out of the kitchen.

Deirdre was confused. She hushed him before she picked up the call. “Hello.”

Soon, a voice was heard from the other end.

“Hello, Miss McKinnon. We’re calling from the police station. We received notification from the hospital of your safe

return earlier, so we’re calling to check on you.”

“Will it be fine for you to come to the station? The mastermind of the abduction has already been captured, and we

need you to identify the man.”
