Chapter 48 Itâs All Your Fault Brendan had an abrupt heartache. He couldnât understand why Deirdre would harm herself. He then strode toward Deirdre, held her wrist, and demanded, âCome with me to get something to eat!â Smelling the familiar scent only made Deirdre feel. disgusted. âDonât touch me!â
Biting her lip, Deirdre struggled to withdraw her hand. However, because she was starving, she was feeble. Without much effort, Brendan pulled Deirdre into his embrace , grabbed her chin, and snapped her head up.â What the hell are you doing! Do you think you can do as you please because you managed to threaten me the other day?â
Deirdre felt a sharp pain in her chin. Eyes red, she lifted her head and said, âYou promised you wouldnât disturb Sterry! You made a promise! So why has he turned out to be so miserable?â
Brendan was startled for a moment before bellowing angrily, âSo you starved yourself to get me here just for this f*cking reason?â Deirdre was hurt and disappointed. Emotions couldnât be shared between two people indeed. How could an apathetic man know how miserable someone else could be?
âI just wanted to ask why you havenât kept your promise? Why did you destroy his life? Brendan Brighthall, are you going to hound everyone to death? Youâre such a liar!â
Deirdre was shivering. She was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
Brendan, on the other hand, was filled with rage. When he had learned that Deirdre was starving herself just to meet him, he had left Charlene and rushed back from Lionisle. In fact, he had been irritated for a while due to the bad weather, which had stopped him from departing immediately.
Now that Brendan had managed to rush over to Deirdre, the fact that she only had Sterling in her mind further ignited the rage within him.
âWhoâd have the time to deal with such a small fry? I donât even see him as a match for me. How would I know whatâs happened to him!â Fury overtook Brendan. â Besides, so what if I did it? He deserves it since he dared to seduce my wife!â
âYour wife?â Deirdre snickered as she pointed at her own face and eyes. âBrendan Brighthall, is this what your wife deserves?â
Deirdreâs retort hurt Brendanâs pride. He clasped Deirdreâs slender neck and said meanly, âYou look like this just because you deserve it. Youâre also to blame for Sterlingâs misery! If you had stayed away from him, would he have taken a video of himself and led to the exposure of his background? Why are you so stubborn ? And who do you want to punish by creating this entire mess? All in all, itâs your fault!â Following that, Brendan smirked. âAnyway, itâs good that Sterling is miserable now. It saves me the energy of . taking any action against him. Besides, this issue will force him out of Neve eventually. And you wonât have to worry about him anymore. Just listen to me.â
Brendanâs remark further disappointed Deirdre.
Deirdre felt disgusted by Brendanâs indifferent manner. She felt nauseous, threw herself toward the edge of bed, and retched even though she had not eaten at all.
While Deirdre was vomiting in pain and discomfort, nothing came out but bile.
When he saw Deirdre , Brendanâs heart softened, but his words remained harsh and unforgiving. âIs it meaningful to torture yourself? No one will care if you die. Itâs better to live nicely, isnât it? Just forget about Sterling. He just canât work at big hospitals, but he can start his own clinic somewhere else.â
Deirdre was in so much pain that her eyes reddened and tears dropped uncontrollably from them.
