Chapter 424 Jealousy âOkay.â
Declan closed the door as he was on his way out.
At that moment, Kyran noticed the dirt on Deirdreâs hand and typed, âWhy is your hand so dirty?â
Deirdre took a tissue paper and wiped the dirt off.
âMy phone dropped on the floor just now. I guess thatâs when I got it dirty,â she explained.
âYou should have let me know about it. Donât you know how dirty and cold the floor is?â
Kyran went to take a towel and helped Deirdre clean her hand seriously.
âYou were talking about work with Mr. King. If it were a normal time, I wouldâve asked you for your help,â Deirdre said with a chuckle.
After cleaning her hand, Kyran picked up his phone. âNext time, you can come to me and ask for my help even if heâs here. Heâs not as important as you.â
âIf Mr. King heard what you said, heâd be very sad.â Deirdre laughed.
âPutting a girlfriend in the first place is what all boyfriends should do. He shouldnât be sad at all.
Instead, he should be envious. But even if heâs envious about it, thereâs nothing he can do either,â
Kyran typed matter-of-factly.
Deirdreâs face burned red with embarrassment after she heard what Kyran said. She lowered her head and went to make the bed.
Deirdre slept soundly throughout the entire night. She did not even realize it when Declan came the next morning.
When she finally woke up, Kyran was asking the nurse to help him warm up the porridge.
âWhat time is it?â she asked, her voice raspy.
âItâs nine in the morning now.â
Deirdre was jaw struck.
âWhy didnât you wake me up? I canât believe Iâve slept for so long.â
âYou hadnât been sleeping well the past two days. You were sleeping very soundly yesterday, so I decided to let you sleep a little longer.â
Deirdre raised her arm up in the air and yawned. Even though she had slept for ten hours, she felt her head swimming and surmised that she was sick.
She put on her shoes and went to clean herself up. By the time she returned, the porridge was ready.
Kyran was looking at her from the side while she ate the porridge. After she finished it, he took the tissue paper and helped her wipe her mouth clean..
Deirdre took over the tissue paper and said embarrassingly, âI⦠I can do it myself.â
âYou donât have to feel embarrassed at all.â
Deirdre just wanted to find a hole and bury herself in it. She kept her head low and said, âIâll go wash our clothes now.â
Without waiting for Kyran to say anything, she took the basket and ran away from the ward. Her embarrassment ebbed away only after she came out of the ward. She felt that Kyran had changed. He liked to tease her and relish in her embarrassment now.
She walked for another two steps and stuck her hand into her pocket. She hesitated for a moment when she touched the item in her pocket. After a short while, she made a decision in her heart and turned around.
She could only recognize the way to Dr. Engleâs office. She knocked on the door, and a voice erupted from inside. âCome in.â
Deirdre pushed the door open, and Dr. Engle was surprised to see her.
âMiss McKinnon? Whatâs the matter? Did the medicine not work well? Or do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?â
âYes, Dr. Engle. I keep having this stinging sensation on my cheek.â Deirdre put the basket down and took her seat.
âLet me take a look.â
Dr. Engle took off the bandage and observed her face. After that, he said, âWell, I donât see any swelling, and the stinging sensation is because the medication is working. Youâll definitely feel uncomfortable as the new flesh is growing. Youâll even feel itchy later. If you really canât stand it, come over here, and Iâll help you change the dressing regularly. I also have some special medication that will stop the itchiness.â
âOkay.â Deirdre nodded but did not leave. She bit the bullet and asked, âDr. Engle, can you help me with something?â
âOf course!â Dr. Engle placed his hands on the table. âFire it away, Miss McKinnon.â
Deirdre pulled the tissue paper out of her pocket and opened it up gently, revealing the cigarette inside.
âYouâre more knowledgeable, so can you tell me which brand this cigarette is?â
