Deirdre stretched out her hands in preparation to clean the table after Declan left, but Kyran took over t he task. âIâll do it.â
âYou have just only recovered from a fever. Sit down.â Deirdre was worried.
Kyran smiled and said, âYou cooked, so itâs my duty to do the dishes. Having moderate exercise is goo d for health too. You sit down.â
He took the utensils from Deirdreâs hands and walked to the kitchen. He checked his phone before he walked away and found a text message from Declan.
[I hope that you will think it through.]
Kyran turned off the screen and walked to the kitchen.
He bustled about in the kitchen while Deirdre sat on the sofa by herself until her phone rang. She picked up and heard Hoytâs voice coming from the other end. âItâs
me, Miss McKinnon.â
Deirdre paused for a moment, yet she was not surprised by Hoytâs call. They had left in a hurry, and sh e did not wish to disturb him, so she had left her phone number with Mrs. Cox.
âMr. Leigh, Iâm sorry for troubling you yesterday. Kyran has almost fully recovered from his high fever, s o we came back to the city to get him checked in the hospital first. I didnât manage to inform you before I left.â
She spoke in a gentle voice.
Kyran turned off the tap and looked toward Deirdre as soon as he heard the words âMr. Leighâ.
Hoyt hastily said, âItâs fine! Itâs important for him to seek medical care. I requested my father to send someone to clear the road in the beginning
just so itâd be convenient for Mr. Reed to get to the hospital. This is great news!â
Deirdre chuckled. âThe more reason for me to thank you. Iâm planning on staying in the city for a while now. If you have anything that you need help with or something else, call me anytime. If itâs within my capabilities, Iâll try to figure out a way to help for sure.â
âYou donât have to do thatâ¦â muttered Hoyt. Then, he said, âOh right, why did you suddenly decide not to leave, Miss McKinnon? Did something happen?â
âNothing much. Itâs just my eyes. I learned that my eyesight can improve with medicine after the consult ation, so I made the decision to stay for a month and monitor my eyesâ condition.â
âI see.â Hoyt was relieved. âThatâs great too. It will surely make things much easier for you if you can se e, Miss McKinnon.â
âThatâs right,â Deirdre replied smilingly. She suddenly realized that someone was standing in front of her. She r aised her head, and a manâs outline came into view.
âWho are you talking to on the phone?â
His tone did not sound as calm as usual, and it was obviously tainted with a tinge of jealousy.
âItâs Mr. Leigh. Whatâs going on?â
âI donât feel well.â
Chapter 518 The Mastermind of the Abduction Has Been Captured Deirdre grew anxious instantly. âWhich part of your body doesnât feel well?â
âMy heart.â Kyran did not even blink in guilt, but he said conscientiously, âI feel even more unwell, espe cially when I heard you chatting with someone else while you ignored me, who was doing dishes in the kitchen.â 1 Deirdre was stunned for a moment when she heard his vague declaration of love. She could not help fe eling amused and said while she covered the phoneâs microphone, âSit down if you feel unwell. Iâll do the dishes later.â
âI canât bear to let you do it either.â
He left her with no choice but to say softly, âI will end the conversation soon.â
Kyran let the matter drop and turned around to return to the kitchen.
Deirdre cleared her throat and adjusted her hold on the phone. Before she could speak, Hoyt said smilin Her face was burning with shyness. She did not expect Hoyt to overhear the conversation because she âSure, weâll speak again.â
She ended the call in embarrassment. She was about to stand up to go to the kitchen when her phone r âWhoâs calling again?â Kyran walked out of the kitchen.
Deirdre was confused. She hushed him before she picked up the call. âHello.â
Soon, a voice was heard from the other end.
âHello, Miss McKinnon. Weâre calling from the police station. We received notification from the hospital o âWill it be fine for you to come to the station? The mastermind of the abduction has already been capture
