Chapter 235: Resent Reject, Regret By Aqua Summers Chapter 235

Chapter 235 Still Alive and Doing Great Before Deirdre shut her eyes, she wrapped her arms around Maeve’s arm and said, “I feel lucky that you’re still alive, mother. Don’t be saddened by dad’s death. I’ll protect you from now on, and I will live well for you.”

She fell asleep drowsily while Maeve’s eyes widened. She was so deeply moved by Deirdre’s remark that she didn’t know what to say. What would the real Ophelia say at this very moment? She could not figure.

out an answer.

The phone in her pocket vibrated. She waited until Deirdre was in a deep sleep before she moved away Deirdre’s arms cautiously and got out of bed.

She walked out of the room to find Brendan smoking at the door. There were already a few cigarette butts scattered on the ground. His dark eyes were narrowed as he looked up to the first floor and said without even turning to Maeve, “Is Deirdre suspicious?”

Maeve shook her head. “It is apparent that she isn’t. Ms. McKinnon is very pure and will go straight to the point and express something that is bothering her, even if she does detect anything unusual, so I can explain myself to her. I believe that she is already fully convinced that I’m Ophelia by now.”

“Hmm.” Brendan looked at her sharply. “However, you shouldn’t let down your guard just because of that. Deirdre is a very sensitive person.”

“Alright.”

“Also, you should go out with her tomorrow. I can set my mind at ease knowing that you’re right by her side. You can go grocery shopping with her.”

The next day…

Deirdre woke up earlier than anybody else.

Sam was already guarding the door since early morning. He was stunned by the sight of Deirdre coming downstairs in thick clothing, the lively look on her face, and her energetic mannerism.

“Good morning, Ms. McKinnon.”

“Good morning, Sam.” Deirdre greeted Sam and said, “You came at the right time. Will you help me to get some flannel fabric and sewing tools from the market since it’s still early?”

“What do you need those for, Ms. McKinnon?”

“I need them.”

Sam did not pursue the topic further. “Let’s go together.”

“Hmm?”

“I’m a man and not very sure what flannel fabric looks like. It would be better for you to choose it yourself, Ms. McKinnon. However, it’s too cold outside, and I don’t know if your body can…”

“It’s fine!” Deirdre was becoming excited, yet she inhaled a deep breath to calm herself and said, “I can do it.”

She lowered her head and replied with a smile, “Thank you.”

Sam was so charmed by her smile that he could not pull himself back to reality. Afterward, he cleared his head and took Deirdre to a sewing material shop to choose.

“Uh, do you have a softer material? It would be best if the inner layer is thicker, so it’s wind–resistant.”

The storekeeper brought over another type, and Deirdre expressed satisfaction after taking the material in her hand “This is great, thank you”

She carried the bag fully satisfied, and Sam took the bag from her. “I’ll take this, Ms. McKinnon. It’s very windy and cold outside. Your hands will freeze in the cold if you keep them out.”

“It’s fine. There are too many things. I’ll share some of your burden.”

Deirdre became much more talkative than before. Sam’s gaze landed on Deirdre’s face, and he could not bring himself to look away after a long time.

“You seem very happy, Ms McKinnon. Why is that so?”

“You noticed that huh?” Deirdre clutched the bag tightly and exhaled a warm breath. “My mother has been back since yesterday, and I can feel that her physical and mental health are much better. She feels like a different person, and I’m quite happy about that.”

Sam was stunned as if he had been hit with a shocking blow. “Is that so? Your mother is back?”

“Hmm” Deirdre nodded and chuckled at herself. “I have you to thank for this, Sam. Had you not grabbed my hand the other day when I tried to commit suicide, I think I wouldn’t have had the chance to meet my mother again today. It turns out that she is still alive and doing great.”
