Chapter 425 There Is a Flower On the Cigarette Dr. Engle was surprised. He had assumed Deirdre wanted to relieve her discomfort or ask about the condition of her face. It was never in his wildest imagination that she was asking him the brand of a cigarette As if she could read his mind, Deirdre explained, âI smelled it occasionally and thought its scent was good, so i wanted to buy it and give it to Kyran as a gift.â
âAh, I seeâ Dr. Engle chuckled. âIt seems like you guys are ready to announce your relationship. Does this. mean that I can expect your marriage news soon?â
Deirdre was stunned, and her face turned red with embarrassment. âHow did you know about that, Dr.
Engle?â
âIâm not dumb. You two were holding hands so tightly when you came to me yesterday. I canât think of any other explanations if you two arenât a couple.â
It was only now that Deirdre realized they had been holding hands the whole time yesterday.
Her face turned even redder, and Dr. Engle laughed. âThereâs no need to feel embarrassed. I can see that both of you like each other, and itâs only a matter of time before youâre together. Now that youâve finally! made it, Iâm truly happy for you two.â
After that, Dr. Engle picked up the cigarette and looked at it.
He said, âThis cigaretteâ¦â
âDo you know what brand it is?â asked Deirdre.
âIâve never seen this brand before,â replied Dr. Engle.
Winston was a famous local brand in Neve. It hadnât been introduced here yet, and Deirdreâs heart leaped into her throat. âIs there any logo in it?â
âYes, there is a logo.â Dr. Engle observed the logo with a magnifying glass. âThere is a flower on it and some tiny words. Let me read it first.â
âFlower?â
Deirdre felt a buzz in her head. She kept looking for the logo of Winston in her memories. She remembered that she had seen a flower near the tip of the cigarette when Brendan was smoking.
For a moment, Deirdre felt her blood run cold, and she had the urge to run away from here.
What if it was really Winston?
There was no way Kyran would know about this brand since he had only returned from Germia. Once it was confirmed that it was Winston, then Kyran would certainly be Brendan. When that happened, what should she do?
Deirdreâs face turned as pale as a sheet of paper, and beads of sweat began to ooze out of her palm profusely.
Meanwhile, Dr. Engleâs eyes glowed, and he said, âAha! I think I know it!â
Then, he looked at Deirdre, stunning her.
Frowning, he asked, âWhat happened, Miss McKinnon? You look pale. I already know the brand of the cigarette. Do you want to know about it?â
Deirdre bit her lower lip. She did not know whether she wanted to know the answer. Her heart was filled with fear right now. She was worried that the answer might not be the answer she wanted.
However, on second thought, was she really going to keep running away from the truth like this?
Deirdre clenched her fist tightly and mustered up her courage. âPlease⦠Please tell me, Dr. Engle.â
âThis is Mr. Reedâs cigarette, isnât it? He gave me a packet before. From its logo and words, itâs a brand for Germia, so you canât find it anywhere in our country. Where did you smell it before?â
Deidre froze for a few seconds. Her eyes were wide open, and she felt like the stone weighing on her chest was gone.
âI⦠I smelled it in the corridor,â she said. âDr. Engle, are you sure itâs a brand from Germia?â
âYes, Iâm sure of it. We wonât be able to find this type of cigarette in our country. Itâs made differently.
Besides, the words on it are Germian.â
âThen what about the flower?â
âThe flower? I guess itâs a part of the logo. It has seven petals and a strange shape. Iâve never seen this kind of flower before.â
