Chapter 454 Just to See Her Face âWhat is there to explain? I thought you could give me a good life, but you immediately showed your true colors when I only spent 18,000 dollars. How will I survive if I marry you in the future!?â
Blake quickly coaxed her. âOh, Lily, youâve misunderstood. I just wanted to ask whether you have enough money. Iâll give you more if you donât.â
âReally?â Lilyâs expression softened. âItâs true that Iâve almost finished spending my money. When will your transfer me the remaining 25,000?â
Blake gnashed his teeth and replied with determination, âSoon! Iâll transfer it to you immediately after 1 receive it.â
âOh dear, youâre truly very amazing. In that case, Iâll continue to enjoy it!â
After hanging up the phone, Blake knelt with his head in his arms.
He knew that Lily had spent the 18,000 dollars, and he would not be able to get it back. It wouldnât be worth it if he lost his girlfriend again.
But if he couldnât get the money, wouldnât heâ¦.
The womanâs eyes flashed in his mind, and he refused to reconcile.
How could it be such a coincidence? How could they have similar eyes and also appear in the same hospital? It should have been a foregone conclusion, but it turned out it was not.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.
Whether the woman was Charlene McKinney, he would just have to see her face under the mask.
âMiss McKinnon, Iâm coming in.â
The nurse knocked on the door and came in with the packed porridge. âI donât know what flavor you like. so I got you some honey, fruits, and nuts. Do have it while itâs still hot.â
Deirdre picked up the spoon and said, âThank you, I really appreciate it.â
The nurse smiled and replied, âYou are welcome. Weâre just doing what Mr. King has requested. After all, itâs not only because heâs very busy. You also canât see, so please donât hesitate to ask for our help.â
âSure.â
The nurse went out.
While Deirdre was eating the porridge, her mind was full of the reported news.
She wondered how they had found her when there obviously were very few people who knew her there. And that kind of report..
The rumor was too unbelievable and unconscionable without them knowing her identity.
She fell into a daze while biting her lower lip.
The phone rang out suddenly, so she put down the spoon, accepted the call, and heard Tobeyâs voice.â
Deirdre, are you okay?â
Upon hearing such a question, Deirdreâs heart skipped a beat. âTobey, did you see something in the news?â
âNot me. Iâm in Eastgene, and itâs not that fast for me to get that information. Itâs my mother.â
âMadame Russell?â
Tobey paused before he continued. âShe saw the newspaper, took a picture of it, and asked me if the woman in the photo was you. Only then did I learn that the sister next door who I grew up with was the ex- wife of the famous Brendan Brighthall.â
His tone was filled with exhaustion and bitterness.
Deirdre felt as if her mouth was stuffed with cotton balls, and she couldnât speak a word.
Brendanâs ex-wife? She would rather not have this titleâ¦
âSo thatâs why you asked me to find out if Kyran Reed and Brendan Brighthall were the same person? I didnât really understand it until I saw the news.â
Deirdre felt depressed but managed to pull herself together. âTobey, thank you.â
âWhy are you thanking me?â
âThank you for choosing to help me without asking any more questions, even though my requests are incredible.â
Tobey sighed. âI know you should have an unspeakable secret, but I really never thought that it would turn out like this.â
Deirdre was silent, so Tobey asked, âDeirdre, do you know how I feel right now?â
