Chapter 362: Chapter 363

Chapter 363 Who Told You That?

Kryan didn’t seem to like the answer. He was silent for a moment before asking, “Is it just because I’m sick? If I didn’t get hurt because of you, wouldn’t you want to see me at all?”

Before Deirdre could answer, Kryan typed in silence, and his face turned sickly white. “Deirdre, you should go back. I’ll ask Declan to arrange a car for you. By this time, the road to Alnwick should have been unblocked. You can go back and stay with Madame Russell at ease. You don’t have to come to the hospital to accompany me.”

“I don’t want to,” Deirdre blurted at a pace that even surprised her.

Kyran was stunned. Deirdre clenched her fists and said, “It will be very boring for you to be alone in the ward because of the long recovery time. I can chat and talk with you.”

“It’s okay.” Kyran typed, “I’m often alone, and I’m used to it.”

When Deirdre heard the phrase “often alone’, she couldn’t help but be reminded of herself. The time she had spent in prison, in Brendan’s mansion, and even in the car during the escape, she was always alone.

She enjoyed solitude and was also afraid of solitude. In fact, she was even more terrified of those who cared, as they might disappear at any time.

She began wondering whether Kyran had the same feeling, whether that was the reason he had said they were of the same kind when he professed his affection toward her.

“Let’s talk about it only after your operation is over. I can’t feel at ease even if I go back now. After all, you’re sick because of me. Besides, you need someone to take care of you now.”

Kyran stared at Deirdre. When he saw her haste and stubbornness, his eyes gradually softened.

“Deirdre, you are too kind. It’s easy to be manipulated by others.”

Deirdre smiled in response. “In that case, will you manipulate me?”

Kyran looked deeply at Deirdre. “I will.”

Deirdre was momentarily stunned because the answer was out of her expectations. She felt puzzled.

Following that, she heard the mechanical sound of the phone.

“I’ll manipulate you all the time. For example, when I’m sick because of my own problem, I’ll manipulate your kindness to make you think that I’m hospitalized because of you so that I can tie you by my side.”

It turned out that was what Kyran meant, and Deirdre’s uneasiness was resolved. Then, she heard Kyran laugh at himself. “Am I bad?”

How could Kyran think he was bad?

Deirdre shook her head as she disagreed. “If you were to put it this way, I’m even worse. I knew I was a burden, but I went to the snow with you. Moreover, I accepted your coat and let you suffer in the cold wind for half an hour.”

Kyran laughed. “Okay, we are not bad.”

Deirdre paused. Even though she couldn’t hear Kyran’s voice, she could still feel him laughing, which made her calrn down inexplicably, and raised the corners of her lips unconsciously.

Deirdre recalled something. “Oh, Kyran, what did your ex-girlfriend look like?” Deirdre remembered.

As soon as Deirdre asked, she felt Kyran’s sudden seriousness. She paused and asked, “Did I say something wrong?”

Deirdre was anxious because she felt that she was both familiar and unfamiliar with Kyran.

“No,” replied Kyran only after quite a long time. The cold machine made his tone sound even more indifferent when he asked, “Who told you that I once had a girlfriend?”

Deirdre bit her lip, feeling a little uneasy.

Kyran answered on his own, “Declan?”

Deirdre replied cautiously, “Mr. King didn’t take the initiative to say it. He just mentioned it casually. It was me who tried to ask him further, but he didn’t tell me anything.”

“You don’t have to be so uneasy. I didn’t mean to be angry with you.” Kyran explained, “I just don’t like to mention her.”
