Chapter 176 The Child Wonât Be a Bastard âYou only need to comply with my treatment and take the liquid medication.â
Deirdreâs empty eyes finally moved once. Her soft lips parted to blurt out, âLeave.â
âMs. McKinnon⦠You really donât need to be so sad because youâre going to be pregnant againâ¦
Deirdre stretched out her hand to knock over the medication cup and the warm water. She didnât feel anything, even though the warm water splashed her hand. She glared at the doctor with bloodshot eyes. and said, âI told you to leave! Can you hear me? I wonât take the medication!â
The doctor was stunned for a moment but he noticed Deirdreâs hand soon enough. Your hand is hurt, Ms.
McKinnon!â
âLeave!â
The doctor had no idea what to do against her resistance, so he could only call up Brendan to report the situation.
Brendan left an important meeting halfway and found Deirdre sitting on the sofa as soon as he entered the house. There was a mess on the rug, and Deirdreâs hand, the one she had used to protect herself, was already swollen and red from blisters.
âShe would actually go this far not to bear my childâ
Brendan felt a knot in the pit of his stomach and ineffable pain in his chest. The old Deirdre would have regarded this as a huge privilege, right?â
âDeirdre, why are you acting like a mad person again? Is it because you think Iâm being too kind to you?!â He moved closer to Deirdre, speaking through tightly-clenched teeth.
Deirdre was still unresponsive, just like before, but she kept her body tense with great effort.
Brendan asked the doctor, âDo you have any more medication?â
âYes, I do!â answered the doctor in a haste. There was still some liquid medication, but it was mixed with the sediment found at the bottom of the bottle, so it would be too bitter. He was worried that Deirdre would not be able to accept the taste, so he had not served the rest.
âServe it!â
The doctor served the medication, and Brendan pushed the cup close to Deirdreâs lips and said, âTake it!â
His gaze was icy, and he uttered word by word, âUnless you donât wish to meet your mother again for the rest of your life!â
Deirdre finally responded by looking in Brendanâs direction. There was intense hatred in her seemingly empty gaze.
She wanted to kill the man before her so badly.
âWhat are you still waiting for? Do you want me to feed it to you?â Brendan glared at Deirdreâs face as he argued with her.
Deirdre took the medication shakily and took a sip.
She choked on the liquid abruptly after taking one sip, and her eyes began tearing up frantically. It felt as if the bitterness in her mouth was coursing through her veins along with her blood, and she was gagging constantly due to the unbearable discomfort.
Brendan furrowed his eyebrows. He did not comment further while Deirdre had a second and a third sip.
The doctor still found it unbelievable when Deirdre finished the medication. Deirdre had actually finished. the medication without a single complaint even though it was many times more bitter than bitter gourdâ¦
âHave some candy, Ms. McKinnon!â The doctor hastily gave her the candy he had prepared in advance.
Deirdre refused to open her mouth, but Brendan stuffed the candy into her mouth after forcefully opening it.
Then, Brendan asked, âDo you have anything for the burn?â
âYes!â
Brendan dressed the burn injury on her hand personally. He had a hold on Deirdre, and that was why Deirdre surrendered herself to him without struggling.
By the time everything was done, Brendanâs phone, which had been placed on the table, had already rung countless times. He took the call and said impatiently, âI know, Iâm coming over at once.â
He got up and took a glance at Deirdre once again. He felt uneasy to see the calmness on Deirdreâs face. Soon, he said, âDeirdre, the child wonât be a bastard if youâre willing to behave yourself.â
Even though the woman was not pure-minded, he would provide the best life for her because they had known each other for a long time, as well as because she was Charleneâs scapegoat.
A few days passed and Deirdre became more obedient. Other than taking her medication, she would stay in her room and spend the day absentmindedly.
