Chapter 323 Who Are You?
At the end of the dinner, Deirdre went upstairs and rummaged through her bag for her allergy medicine while enduring her discomfort.
However, she hadnât brought the allergy medicine because she never ate yam.
Therefore, she could only endure the nausea and dizziness. While lying on the bed, she felt pain. Even at that moment, she was afraid to be seen by Madame Brighthall and covered herself with a blanket.
At that moment, she suddenly heard the sound of the door being opened from outside, and Brendanâs unhappy voice followed it.
âDeirdre, do you think that Iâm taking you here to rest? Get out!â
Seeing that Deirdre didnât respond, he lifted the blanket coldly and saw Deirdreâs skin was covered with rashes. She was lying curled up, panting as if she was on the verge of death.
âDeirdre!â
Brendan was shocked. He dropped the blanket and grabbed Deirdreâs shoulder as he said with panic in his eyes, âWhatâs going on?â
Deirdre held back her sadness as she tried spitting out words. âAllergy Allergic to yam.
Brendan got what she meant and roared, âAre you stupid!? Why did you eat it when you know youâre allergic to yam!â
âB-because⦠youâll be unhappyâ¦â
Brendan was stupefied. When he recollected his senses, he carried Deirdre and rushed downstairs without hesitation. Meanwhile, from Deirdreâs perspective, she saw Brendan panicking like never before. His resolute jawline was tightly stretched, like a string being pulled tight.
It was because of this emotion Deirdre had gained the courage to persist.
She had assumed Brendan still cared for her even though he always would provoke her.
Otherwise, how could he run red lights recklessly with his eyes reddened just to try to save her life?
He could simply leave her behind. She was a mere substitute, after all.
Nevertheless, Deirdre finally realized that Brendan didnât care about her. What he cared about was her face, her identity, and Charlene.
Thinking of Brendan, Deirdre had a heartache again.
Deirdreâs lips turned pale. When Eilis saw it, she hurriedly held Deirdreâs hands. âAre you alright, Deirdre?â Deirdre forced a smile. Iâm fine.â
It was just in time when a waitress came over. Hence, Deirdre turned to the waitress and requested, âHi, I have a stomachache. Can you please take me to the restroom?â
âSure, please come with me.â
Eilis wanted to go along with Deirdre, but the latter did not allow her. âMadame Russell, no worries, I can go myself. You should just enjoy your meal. Iâll come back in a bit. Moreover, we are now in a hotel, not on the road. I wonât be lost.â
âAlright, do come back quickly.â
âSure.â
Deirdre could remember the path toward the restroom under the guidance of the waitress. Therefore, before she entered, she said, âThank you, miss. You may now go back to your work. Iâll take a long time, so Iâll return on my own later.â
âAre you sure you can return on your own?â
âYes, I can remember the distance.â
Since Deirdre had said so, the waitress left without hesitation because she had other things to do as well.
Deirdre got into the restroom and washed her face, trying to wake herself up.
Even though the water was cold, she didnât feel calm but sophisticated.
She didnât know why Kyran had taken away that yam pastry. Did he do it by accident, or did he know of her allergy?
Shuddering, Deirdre bit her lower lip as she recalled each time when Kyran helped her.
They were mere strangers. Even Deirdre herself couldnât be so good to a stranger. Moreover, Kyran was someone with high status. Who was he? Could he beâ¦
