Chapter 347 Pass Her the Phone Deirdre was stunned. She felt for the phone in her pocket and realized that it was turned off after being out of battery.
She stretched out her hand and said, âPass it to me.â
The phone was given to Deirdre, and she got up to pick up the call. âHello, Madame Russell.â
âSilly girl!â Eilis was almost in tears. âWhy arenât you picking up your phone? You scared me! I looked for you everywhere for a night and almost thought that you were buried under the snow!â
âIâm sorryâ¦â Deirdre sniffed. She had been so worried about Kyran that she had forgotten to call and update Eilis about her whereabouts.
Madame Russell said, âAs long as youâre safe and sound. Where are you now?â
Deirdre had no idea, either. She said truthfully, âMr. Reed got sick and was admitted to the hospital after helping me the other day. I sought help from Mr. King to take me to the hospital, and it is quite some distance away from Village Alnwick.â
âI see⦠Are you cold then? Would you like me to send you warmer clothes?â
âItâs fine.â Deirdre smiled. âMr. Reed has already awakened. Iâll be back when the hospital has examined and confirmed that he is fine.â
âAlright then.â Eilis remembered something and said, âHowever, I called up Tobey because I panicked. He got in touch with people here to look for you. Iâm afraid that he might not have slept the whole night, and perhaps he would have hopped on a plane to come back if he werenât so busy. I shall call him and update him about your situation.â
âSure.â
After ending the call, Deirdre blushed as she thought about how she had troubled way too many people.
She passed the phone to Kyran, and he asked, âWhat happened? Is Madame Russell very worried about you?â
âYes.â Deirdre was very embarrassed. âIâll be leaving by noon. It would be strange for her not to panic after I came over and vanished for the whole night without informing her prior.â
âHad you been waiting for me since noon?â
Deirdre nodded and said immediately, âHowever, it was because I was too bored. The lounge of the church was warm, so I thought Iâd go there to warm myself. Oh right.â
She pulled the plasticâwrapped medicine out of her pocket. âI brought you this, but I believe that you donât need it anymore because youâre in a hospital.â
She was planning on changing the topic of conversation when Kyran suddenly held her hand beyond her expectations. Despite her blindness, she could feel the manâs blazing hot gaze on her face.
Deirdre was stunned, and her heart was racing. Kyranâs lips moved, and he exerted some strength in his grip.
All of a sudden, the phone rang at a bad time and interrupted the ambiance between them. Deirdre immediately pulled back her hand.
Kyran picked up the phone with a frown and heard a gentle voice coming from the other end of the call. âHello, Iâm Tobey Russell.â
The call was hung up abruptly, and Deirdre was stunned. She had a keen sense of hearing and asked, âWas the caller earlier Tobey?â
âNo,â Kyran answered quickly, his expression very unpleasant. âYou misheard.â
However, the call came once again.
Kyran wanted to hang up right away this time, but Deirdre asked cautiously, âArenât you going to take the call, Mr. Reed?â
Kyran could only suppress his anger this time as Tobeyâs voice sounded. âHello, Mr.
Reed. Did you accidentally hang up the call? Iâm not a stranger but Deirdreâs friend. Will you please pass her the phone?â
âItâs Tobey.â
Deirdreâs eyes lit up while Kyranâs dark pupils turned dim. He passed her the phone.
âItâs me, Tobey.â
Tobey was relieved to hear Deirdreâs voice. âDeirdre, will you please inform my mother or me first before you go anywhere the next time? Do you know how worried I am?â
âIâm sorry, Tobey. Todayâs incident is an accident, and I wonât do that again.â
