Chapter 507 Youâre Hiding Something From Me âDeirdre!â Meanwhile, Mrs. Cox emerged from the room. âMr. Reed has awakened. He said he wants to see you.â
âHeâs awake?â Deirdre was delighted. She decided to put everything else to the back of her head and pushed the door inside. âKyran? Youâre awake?â
As she stood at the side of the bed, Hoyt stood at the door. When Kyran saw him, he froze a bit and asked, âHow long have I been sleeping?â
â14 hours? Or is it 15?â Deirdre heaved out a sigh of relief, âI donât remember it anymore. In any case, y ou had a very high fever. Anyway, you need to thank Mr. Leigh. If it hadnât been for him going to the ma rket on his bike to get your medicine and IV drip, you might not have woken up so soon.â
âIâm sorry for making you worry about me.â
Even though he was sick, he blamed himself for making her worry about him.
Deirdreâs heart skipped a beat when the thought surfaced in her mind, and she shook her head. âItâs ok ay. Everything is fine as long as you wake up.â
Kyran turned his head to look at Hoyt. Even though he disliked Hoyt, it was all thanks to him that he could wa ke up so soon.
âThank you for your help, Mr. Leigh,â Kyran said through his phone.
Hoyt felt embarrassed and scratched his head. âDonât mention it, Mr. Reed. It was Miss McKinnon who rushed to my house despite the slippery road that I was able to help.â
Kyran closed his eyes as he still felt weak all over his body. Seeing that the IV drip was about to finish,
Hoyt pulled the needle out and said, âIâll come again tomorrow. If Mr. Reed does not recover, Iâll go to th e market to get some more medicine. If thereâs nothing else here, Iâll go now.â
Deirdre rose to her feet and said, âLet me see you out, Mr. Leigh.â
As soon as she stood up, Kyran grabbed her hand tightly, stunning Deirdre.
Hoyt hastily said, âItâs okay, Miss McKinnon. Itâs not far away, and Iâll see myself out since you canât see well.â
After Hoyt had finished speaking, he left hurriedly.
Deirdre could sense that Kyran did not like Hoyt. She turned around and said in a low voice, âKyran, Mr . Leigh has been helping us since the afternoon after you fell unconscious.â
âIâve already expressed my gratitude,â replied Kyran as he earnestly looked at her.
âIf you think that isnât enough, Iâll send some gifts to him after I recover. But I donât want you to give the gift to him. I donât want you to leave my side.â
Even though Deirdre knew it was just an excuse, her face still turned red with embarrassment. âWhere were you when I woke up just no w? Were you talking to Hoyt outside?â asked Kyran. âYeah.â Deirdreâs heart sank again upon recalling t he conversation she had had with Hoyt. Even at this moment, Kyran was still holding his phone despite being very weak.
She just couldnât think of any reason he wanted to lie to her.
Did he not want her to find out that he was not mute, or did he just not want her to hear his voice?
âDeirdre?â
A mechanical voice came into her ears and snapped her out of her thoughts.
Kyran frowned. âWhatâs wrong?â
âNothing.â Deirdre calmed herself down and said, âI just suddenly remembered that we havenât told Mr. King about our situation yet. He must be wondering why we havenât returned yet.â
âIâve already sent a message to him.â
Deirdre nodded. âAre you hungry?â
Kyran seemed to be able to see through her mind as he looked at her fixedly, âWhatâs the matter, Deirdre? It seems to me that youâre being bothered by something. Can yo Deirdre was dumbfounded. She did not know if she should tell him about it or not. She did not know wha kind of answer he would give either.
She closed her eyes and said, âKyran, I said Iâll trust you wholeheartedly, so I wonât have any doubt of anything you tell me. Right now, I only have one question for you. Are you really mute?â
