Chapter 373: Chapter 374

Chapter 374 You Don’t Have to Be So Tough Deirdre’s eyes turned red around the rims. She sniffled, and it took her a while to say, “How did you get two phones?”

“I borrowed it from someone else,” Kyran replied slowly. “Are you all right?”

“What?”

“You were followed by someone on your way to the hotel earlier, right? Declan has told me. about it.

You’re not terrified, right?”

Deirdre still couldn’t come around to her senses from everything that had happened.

Knowing someone lurking in the dark knew her very well and would harm her was not a nice feeling.

She did not want Kyran to worry too much about her, so she took a deep breath and said, I’m fine.”

“Really?” Kyran replied after a short moment of silence, “I’m sorry.”

“Huh? Why are you apologizing to me?” asked Deirdre. She did not know why Kyran would suddenly apologize to her.

“I should have asked Declan to wait for you,” said Kyran. “If I hadn’t let you go so soon, you wouldn’t have been followed by someone. I’m very sorry about that.”

“This isn’t your fault. This isn’t the first time I came back to the hotel alone,” replied Deirdre. “Besides, you asked me to come back because you wanted me to get some rest earlier. You’ve done nothing wrong.”

“But I should’ve anticipated something like that. You must have been scared when your realized that someone was following you, right? I wish I was there with you when that happened.”

If Kyran could speak, his voice must be laden with guilt and remorse.

Deirdre’s nerves loosened up a little. “Please don’t say that. No one, including myself, would have expected something like that to happen. By the way, I don’t think this is a bad thing. At the very least, I know someone is after me right now. As such, I’ll be more alert and won’t go to other places alone.”

Kyran typed on his phone, “You’re still as positive as always. But you don’t have to shoulder everything yourself. It’ll be good to depend on others sometimes.”

Deirdre lowered her head. “I’ve already gotten used to it.”

She had to force herself to stop crying while being bullied in prison. This was because they would beat her up even more and wouldn’t stop until they ensured she couldn’t utter a single sound anymore.

Therefore, she had already gotten used to keeping everything to herself.

“I’ll try my best to change. I’ll try to believe there’s someone in this world I can depend on,” said Deirdre, biting her lower lips to prevent herself from crying.

“Mr. Reed, it’s getting late. You should rest now.”

A voice came over from the phone.

Deirdre hastily cleared her voice and said, “It’s time for you to sleep, right? I’m sorry for making you worry about me. It’s already so late, yet you still have to call me. You should go. to bed now.”

Kyran paused for a moment before replying, “I’ll wait for you. Put your phone beside you. I’ll keep you company for a while. I’ll hang up the phone after you’ve fallen asleep.”

Deirdre wanted to say no to him. She was worried that she might disturb Kyran when she sleep-talked later, but there was a voice inside of her head telling her that she needed company right now.

Even though it was just a phone call, at the very least, she was not the only one in this room. She would not feel as nervous and restless.

“Don’t worry. I’m here,” Kyran comforted her.

Deirdre did not say anything anymore. She lay on the bed and put her phone next to her ear, Listening to his breathing, Dierdre felt that Kyran was physically there despite the fact he was not.

She slowly calmed down, closed her eyes, and fell into slumber.

She did not have any nightmares and slept through the night.

When she woke up the next day, she touched her phone and realized that Kyran hadn’t. hung up the call yet.

While listening to his moderate breathing, her face burned red with embarrassment.
