Chapter 395 Iâll Do All in My Power to Protect You Deirdre felt her heart racing. Even when she was already calm, she could still feel lingering fear in her heart.
She nodded.
Dr. Engle asked, âDid you not receive medical care after the injury? Itâs apparent that the wounds were swollen and infected previously. Afterward, this resulted in the festering of the face. Itâs no wonder that your whole face is destroyed even though there are only a few scars.â
Deirdre clutched the hem of her top tightly without her notice and felt suffocated.
She remembered being kept in the small, dark room of solitary confinement when she was in prison.
The place was not only humid, but it also smelled terrible. The wounds on her face had begun to itch and fester in a few days.
She had attempted to seek help because the infection felt extremely unpleasant, yet in return, the prison guard had berated her impatiently by saying, âYou returned from the infirmary a few days ago.
Why do you want to go again today? You think youâre some hot sh*t, right? Donât think about going when your family has yet to pay for the previous treatment charges. Youâll get to go again when the money is paid.â
The only family she had had was Ophelia, who suffered from psychiatric illness. As for Brendan⦠He would never pay the prison to provide treatment for her. As a result, her face had been destroyed.
Deirdre inquired closely, âCan it be cured?â
Dr. Engle heaved a sigh and replied, âItâs quite difficult. However, it is doable with todayâs developed medical field. We will only need a longer period to do so.â
âItâs fine, even if itâs time-consuming.â Deirdre smiled bitterly. The only thing she had abundant these days.
was time.
âSure. I shall make arrangements for the reconstruction surgery plan first to restore your face to your previous appearance as best as possible. Donât worry.â
âAlright, thank you for taking the trouble to do this.â
Deirdre was slightly distracted when she shut the door after Dr. Engle left..
In fact, she even thought about how she would not have had to endure so many hardships had she met Kyran earlier.
âDeirdre.â
Deirdre perked up when she heard the commotion behind her. âWhatâs going on?â
Kyran hesitated before he took it upon himself to ask the question. It was apparent that he was suppressing the anger in his expression. âHow did your face get injured? Who turned you into your current state?â
âWho is it? Deirdre was stunned. âIt was my foolishness, I guess.â
She was under the assumption that Brendan would let her and Ophelia off, yet in the end, she had made a fool of herself.
âIâve forgotten.â Deirdre lowered her gaze and suppressed her train of thought. âI remember that someone hurt my face, but my living condition at the time was poor, and I had no money to seek treatment, so I turned into this.â
Kyran fell silent for a long time. Soon afterward, she heard a commotion.
âKyran?â
Deirdre hastily approached him and felt two arms wrapping around her body. Kyran hugged her strenuously and placed his chin on her head as if he had exhausted every ounce of strength in his body. His breathing sounded rushed as well.
Deirdreâs heart softened bit by bit and melted away in his hug. She shut her eyes and enjoyed it.
It was very warm and gradually warmed up her withered heart so that she could muster the courage to let her guard down.
She came to trust that there was no darkness and sadness in this world willingly.
Then, Kyran picked up his phone and made a promise.
âI didnât manage to get to know you when you were going through your most difficult period in the past.
Iâll do all in my power to protect you and not let you get hurt even for the slightest bit at all times from now.
on.â
âIâll do all in my power to protect you and not let you get hurt even for the slightest bit at all times from.
now on.â
Deirdreâs eyes stung with tears, and she said smilingly, âIâm not worth it, Kyranâ¦â
âIf itâs not worth it to protect you, thereâs nothing else in this world that is worth it then.â
He answered in such a calm, natural manner. Deirdre choked up-she was deeply moved but didnât know what to do.
