Chapter 416 Iâm Indeed Sad Deirdre told the electronics storeâs owner the phone number, and he quickly sent it. âOkay, Iâm done!â
âThank you.â
Deirdre gave the money she received from Kyran to the electronics storeâs owner. Following that, she stood at the door and called Tobey.
The other end quickly answered. Deirdre took a deep breath and said, âTobey, did you receive the photo I sent you?â
Tobey was silent for a moment and smiled wryly. âIt turns out that you were the one who sent me this photo. Deirdre, do you think that Iâm emotionless? You rejected me, and after you got together with Kyran, you actually sent me a photo with your loved one. Did you send it so that I can enjoy it as well?â
Deirdre was stunned for a moment and quickly replied, âNo! Thatâs not what I meantâ¦â
Tobey smiled. âDonât be nervous. I was just joking with you. Although I am indeed quite sad, I am relieved seeing that you look happy in the photo.â
Deirdreâs eyes were downcast and misty. When she found her voice only after a while, she explained.
Tobey, I sent you this photo for another reason. May I know if you know Brendan Brighthall?â
âBrendan Brighthall?â Tobey was surprised to hear the name. He thought for a while and said, âDo you mean the only son of the Brighthall family in Neve? I heard a little about him when I was working. He is a successful businessman.â
Deirdre couldnât help being nervous. âThen you⦠Have you seen him?â
Tobey replied, âNo, I havenât. Deirdre, youâve thought too highly of me. People like them have their own circle. Iâm just a mere staff member. How could I have met them?â
The answer was not surprising to Deirdre. Brendan had always been mysterious and seldom appeared at commercial receptions. Only a handful of his photos were posted on the Internet, and it might even be possible that Brendan edited them before posting.
âTobey, you may think my request is strange, but can I ask you to find out about Brendanâs appearance and compare it with the man in the photo? I really donât know who else to trust other than you alone.â
Deirdre begged him.
Feeling Deirdreâs seriousness and helplessness, Tobey agreed immediately. âWhat youâve requested, I will try my best to find out. But Deirdre, I hope that you can be frank with me. Can you tell me why? Is the person in the photo Kyran or Brendan?â
âI donât knowâ¦â Deirdre felt bitter and could only answer like this.
If she knew, she wouldnât be so distracted and disturbed.
She didnât understand if God was playing tricks on her on purpose. Otherwise, how would it turn out like this when she finally mustered up the courage to love someone again?
âI canât tell if the person with me is Kyran or Brendan orâ¦â Somewhat desperate, Deirdre added.
âBoth.â
Tobey didnât understand, but he still comforted her. âDeirdre, donât be too anxious. I will help you find out as soon as possible, and you will know.â
âOkay, thanks.â
After ending the call, Deirdre stood at the door in a daze. She felt heartache, and it became more and more difficult to breathe.
âMiss McKinnon, Iâve bought them.â The nurse hurried over. When she saw Deirdre standing by the door alone, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Deirdre nodded. âThank you.â
The nurse smiled. âNo problem. So, where are we going next? Are we going to buy underwear?â
