Chapter 434 She Had It All Planned âNot the same person. Kyran and Brendan are not the same personâ¦.
Deirdre shed tears of joy at the answer. She had no idea how she should face Kyran for the past few days, yet in the end, she learned that it was all a blunder.
She suppressed her sobbing with all her might. âAre you sure, Tobey?â
âYes, Iâm sure,â Tobey said in a gentle voice. âHence, you donât need to worry anymore. Go ahead and be in love.â
âThank you.â
After ending the call, Deirdre wiped away the tears on her face and felt a great sense of relief.
She turned around to walk back when she suddenly heard Charleneâs concerned voice coming from in front of her. âWhy are you outside, Brendan? Are you tired? Would you like to go back to the hospital first? Even though the doctor advised you to walk more before your surgery, donât force it if you donât feel well enough.â
Deirdreâs expression was rigid. Then, she heard Brendanâs cold voice, âIâm not tired. I just came out to get some fresh air.â
âRemember to tell me if you feel unwell. Youâre always keeping everything to yourself, and the doctor will be the one to inform me of everything. Iâm really worried about you. Had the doctor not said â
âI told you that Iâm fine.â
The voices sounded closer and closer to her. They were at a corner, and Brendan would certainly be able to see her if he were to walk over.
Deirdreâs heart was racing, and she hastily walked backward.
âRun! I must run!
âYet, where will I run to? Iâm just a stranger in a strange place.â
She could only make her way to the door of a private room. She wanted to enter the room, yet the door could not be opened. She turned around to shield her face just when Brendan and Charlene had already arrived at the corner.
Charlene was still muttering, âIâm only worried about you. Iâm saying, what if something bad were to happen? How am I going to live? Also, think about your mother. She hasnât slept well for three consecutive nights because she is worried for you.â
Brendan suppressed his cough, his dark eyes tainted with a tinge of agitation. âYou shouldnât have told.
my mother. Iâm not going to die anyway.â
Charlene sounded aggrieved when she said, âYou donât get to decide your condition. The doctorâs description of your condition is much more serious than you thinkâ¦â
Brendan was preparing to walk downstairs when he suddenly realized something and looked toward the corner subconsciously.
A woman stood in front of the door with her head lowered, her back straight and stiff, and her shoulders bouncing. On the other hand, the back of the womanâs figureâ¦
Brendan furrowed his sharp eyebrows and could not refrain from stopping.
Charlene was about to speak, but she halted to a stop when Brendan stopped walking. She raised her head and asked, âWhatâs going on, Brendan?â
Noticing that Brendan was looking behind, Charlene turned her face subconsciously. Even though Charlene did not find the figure familiar, she recognized the outfit.
Charleneâs expression became distorted in rage and fear instantly.
âDeirdre? Why is she showing up here? Did she have it all planned!?â
Brendan was about to walk over when Charlene wrapped her arms around Brendanâs arm and said, â
Brendan, didnât you say that you wanted to get some air downstairs? Iâll keep you company. Your mother has been under the weather for two days. Letâs go and get her some medicine from the drugstore, shall we?â
Brendan pried away her hand, and his breathing was irregular. He wanted to verify with his own eyes, yet Charlene hastily grabbed Brendanâs hand. âWhatâs going on with you, Brendan? The doctor ordered me to hold you at all times. What are you going to do if you fall again? We canât let your wound rupture again.â
âLet go of me.â Brendan could not conceal his agitation. His head was throbbing with pain, and his gaze was unfocused when he pried away Charleneâs hand strenuously.
Unexpectedly, the figure standing at the door vanished the moment he was about to walk forward.
Not a single person was in his vicinity. He was stunned because it was not his first time experiencing this situation.
Charlene was relieved and hastily said in a concerned tone, âWhatâs going on with you, Brendan?â
