Chapter 648 You're Shaking

Deirdre's mind went blank.

'You know what happened after that, right? Since he had the chance to capture Brendan, Ci Ilian seized the

moment. That was why everyone was trying to stop him from going alone, but he was just doggedly persistent. He

was so terrified at the prospect of you getting hurt just because he was late for a second."

"No, how could this..." Deirdre closed her eyes, quivering. Myriad emotions crashed onto her-at its core, anxiety.

She remembered what he had said when he was in Gillian's house. "So, this is who you think I am? A selfish, cruel

man who would abandon you the moment there's danger?"

She remembered what he had said while his life was hanging by a thread as he sat up from his bed. "I’m sorry

about the abduction. I should have known better. I should have done more. I honestly don't know how Cillian knew

where you are, and for that, I apologize."

All those words had brought her was burning rage. She had perceived it as Brendan trying to excuse himself with

his silver tongue.

The man might have wanted to explain himself, but she did not give him the chance at all, did she?

Deirdre suddenly felt a mountain's weight crashing onto her chest. She could not breathe.

She had misunderstood him. She had really misunderstood him, hadn't she?

"Miss McKinnon? I know you hate Brendan. He hurt you so much that even I wouldn't be able to forgive him. But he

did all he could this time. He didn't sleep a wink for a week, and he let himself be beaten up for you. Did you really

think he had no idea what was going to happen to him if he went to save you alone?"

Declan sighed.

It was then that his phone rang. He picked up, and his expression suddenly turned frigid and severe. "I need to go."

"What happened?" asked Glenna.

Deirdre felt her hands tighten. Declan shot a look at her and comforted," It’s not about Brendan, don't worry. I'm

just needed elsewhere. Either way, Miss McKinnon, you should take a good night's rest. As for Brendan... Well, go

see him if you want to, but it's okay if you don't. He owed you, anyway."

Declan headed out in a rush, leaving the door open. Glenna quickly closed it before giving Deirdre an awkward

smile. "Gosh, that was so intense!

Everyone's busy and tense. We don't even have time for chitchat!"

Deirdre wanted to give her a smile, but her face refused to oblige.

"Can I have a glass of water?"

"I’ll get one for you right away!" Glenna poured a glass of juice and watched Deirdre down it. As soon as she set it

down, Glenna held her hand and asked, concerned, "Are you alright? Dee... You’re shaking.”

Was she?

Was it her fingers? Or was it her body?

Her heart was so heavy that she could not even acutely sense her body's change. "Maybe it’s the weather. The

heater isn't on, and I'm not wearing a lot."

Glenna gave a dry laugh. 'Yeah. It's a pretty cold day, haha. It’s going to be below zero soon. I had to put on two

coats to come here."

Deirdre cast her eyes down while Glenna caressed her cheeks. She stuck a strand of her friend’s hair behind

Deirdre's ear. "Dee, I don't know what happened between you and Brendan, but I was thinking... if you’re worried or

feeling bad for the misunderstanding, you could always just go see him. It's not going to cost you anything, right?

And it doesn’t change much, either. If you're worried about inconvenience... I'm beside you."

She was right. It would not cost her anything or change much.

It was only natural for her to feel bad for misunderstanding him. Was it not?
