Chapter 400 Care About What I Think of You Deirdre realized that Kyran did not react to her face after they returned to the room.
Even though only the upper half of her face was restored, it was very startling to see her current face compared to her previously mangled face. Unexpectedly, Kyran behaved as if he was used to the sight of her.
Deirdre was confused about that.
After staying in the room for a while, Kyran behaved as if he realized something and asked, âWhy are you still wearing the mask?â
Deirdre explained softly, âThe recovery of my upper face is quite well, but my cheeks are still severely injured. Dr. Engle said that the recovery will be slower and that I will require regular wound dressing.
We should be able to see some results in another two weeks or so.â
âAlright.â
âAlright? Thatâs all?â
Deirdre could not conceal the disappointment in her eyes.
âKyran, Iâve already sent the staff members to measure and pave the road on the Village Alnwick project. Later-â Declan opened the door and entered the room. His voice halted to a stop the moment he saw Deirdre.
Even though he recognized her, he said with raised eyebrows, âItâs no wonder Dr. Engle is said to be skilled in facial reconstruction. Miss McKinnon, you have transformed so much that I wouldnât be able to recognize you on the streets.â
Deirdre felt her heart sink for a brief moment. At the same time, she felt shy.
If Declan was so surprised, why was Kyran so calm when he saw her face?
Deirdre forced a smile. âMr. King, youâre exaggerating.â
âNo, no, no. Itâs not an exaggeration at all. I didnât pay much attention to your eyes in the past. I didnât expect your eyes to be so beautiful. Iâm beginning to wonder whether Kyran could see your beauty from the start, and that is why he is doing everything he can to pursue you.â
He teased while Kyran darted a look at him. âDonât think that everyone is as vulgar as you.â
âYes, yes, yes. Iâm vulgar.â
Afterward, Declan and Kyran chatted about work, and he asked before he left, âMiss McKinnon, are your allowed to go outside with your wound?â
Deirdre touched her mask and felt that her recovering wound was still dressed in bandages. She nodded and asked, âWhy?â
Declan pulled two tickets out of his pocket. âI just remembered that the partner I met today gave me two tickets to the amusement park. Iâm too busy, so I wonât be able to go. If youâre interested, Kyran can go with you. His injury is almost healed, so he should be fine with walking.â
As he was speaking, Declan passed the tickets to Deirdre and left. Deirdre held the tickets in her hand.
and felt dazed.
âAmusement park?â
She had never dared to visit an amusement park because she was afraid that she would scare the passersby or be criticized by others. Most importantly, she needed someoneâs help to get around and did not wish to trouble the person who accompanied her.
However, she wondered if she had acquired the right and freedom to go outside for some fresh air in her current condition.
She was hesitant, but Kyran could see her concern and asked, âDo you want to go? I can come with you if you want. Donât worry.â
Deirdre shook her head. âI donât know.â
âGo if you want, and donât go if you donât want. How can you not know?â
âUh⦠Kyran.â Deirdre inhaled a deep breath and said, âDo you think I can go out in my current state?â
Kyran stopped and shifted his gaze to the womanâs face with a frown. âWhy do you ask that?â
âYour reactionâ¦â Deirdre still voiced out the misgiving that she hid in her heart. âThe recovery of my upper face is supposed to be quite good, but why have you not reacted to my recovery?â
Kyranâs gaze turned gentle. âDeirdre, are you asking me this because you care about what I think of you?â
