Chapter 396 Iâd Keep You Company Declan opened the door and entered the room just in time to hear his remark. He chuckled and said, âYou guys sure are lovey-dovey.â
Deirdre lowered her head in embarrassment and fiddled with the blanket. Kyran asked, âHow can I help you?â
1 had something to go over with you initially, but I would like you to teach me now how to keep a straight face when you make such a sick, flirtatious remark?â Declan muttered, âDo you feel less shame because youâre using the phone to convey the message?â
Kyran replied in a righteous tone, âIf the heart is sincere, the remark is no longer flirtatious, but itâs the truth from oneâs heart.â
Declan said in a pleading manner, âAlright then, I canât win an argument against you, anyway. How is Miss McKinnonâs face? Does Dr. Engle think that it can be restored?â
Deirdre raised her head subconsciously when she heard her name. âHmm. Dr. Engle said that it is slightly difficult, but it should be fine.â
âGreat then. Heâs very famous in his profession. Donât worry. Set your mind at ease to treat your face.
You get to recuperate with Kyran here coincidentally.â
âHmm.â Deirdre nodded and said, âThank you to all of you for being so concerned about my face.â
âWhy are you thanking us?â Declan smiled mischievously and said, âWeâre a family.â
He left when Deirdreâs face started blushing.
Deirdre stayed in Kyranâs room and helped to give him a sponging at night. She was already getting quite used to this that she could do it without feeling nervous, but she still avoided the crucial part.
Another week passed, and Dr. Engle made arrangements for the surgery. Deirdre lay on the operating table and thought about Kyranâs comforting words. He had said that he would keep her company.
Deirdre lost consciousness after the anesthesia was administered. When she woke up again, her face was stinging with pain and wrapped in bandages. She was about to touch her face when Dr. Engle hastily said, âDonât touch the surgical site. The surgery is a success, but you will still need to let it heal before your can see the effect. If the effect is unsatisfactory, weâll need to do it again.â
Deirdre lowered her hands. âWhere am I now?â
âOn the operating table,â answered Dr. Engle. He could not refrain from saying, âMr. Reed cares about you. very much. He couldnât bear to wait in the bed, so heâs waiting for you at the door specifically.â
âWhat!?â Deirdre moved abruptly and found herself in pain. However, she was terribly worried and tried to get up. âHow could he wait outside when he is still injured?â
âThatâs right. A few nurses tried to persuade him repeatedly, but they failed. I told him too that itâs just a reconstruction surgery and not some extremely high-risk surgery, but he refused to give in.â
Dr. Engle smiled and added, âI can only say that Mr. Reed cares about you too much. I donât understand how you two are still not dating. Are you willing to let a man who is gentle, caring, and determined to treat you well look at you piteously without even having the ability to hold your hand?â
Deirdre fell silent. Dr. Engleâs remark deeply moved her, and she began to scrutinize her relationship with Kyran seriously.
She noticed that she did not reject Kyranâs kind intentions, but she wondered if she had feelings for him.
âIs it fair for Kyran when I donât have feelings for him?â
Her head was in a chaotic mess. When she was jolted back to reality, she said, âCan you please send me outside?â
The nurse hastily stretched out her hands to help send Deirdre to the door.
Kyran stood in front of the operating theater. When he saw Deirdre, he walked a few steps to her with great difficulty, his hand holding his abdomen.
Deirdre noticed his action and stretched out her arms to help him subconsciously. She could not refrain from feeling tenderhearted. âWhy do you insist on coming when you should be resting in bed? What if your wound were to rupture?â
Kyran replied with his phone, âIt has been a week, and it is recovering well. Iâll just need to be careful when I walk. Moreover, I promised you that Iâd keep you company.â
