Chapter 560 Put an End to This From Now On Deirdre was stunned while Brendan came to react to the situation by assuming a cold, sharp expression on his face. âHowever, since weâre already here, donât try to pick faults anymore. Itâs already rare that I remembered your wish in the past. Do you think I would come here to endure the cold willingly if not as your compensation?â
âCompensation?â
âHmm, compensation.â Brendanâs eyes were dark as ink. âYou can put an end to your motherâs case from now on.â
Deirdreâs pupils shook violently. She was so furious that her entire body was shaking beyond her control.
âSo, I should bring everything to an end just with his carefree compensation after those acts of his.
pushing things too far, and the human life that was lost!?â
Deirdre could not hold back her anger and stood up. She was afraid that she would give Brendan a slap if she were to stay any longer She ran to the door, and before she could walk away, Brendan caught up to her and grabbed her wrist.
He furrowed his eyebrows and suppressed his anger âWhy are you freaking out?â
âFreaking out?â Deirdre felt her heart turn cold, and her eyes were bloodshot. âYouâre right! I am freaking. out. Please loosen your grip on me if you donât want me to freak out on you so I can head to the washroom to calm myself down!â
âYouâre only going to the washroom?â Brendan was momentarily caught in a daze.
Deirdre looked toward him in derision. âDonât worry, Mr. Brighthall. Naturally, I will fulfill what Iâve promised. I will ensure that the date carries on so you will agree to get a divorce, and Iâll continue until you are pleased.â
The words that she used were filled with irony, and her remark stabbed into his heart like a needle hidden in a cotton ball.
His face turned ghastly pale from the pain, but it did not leave behind any hideous wound on his heart.
In fact, he did not even bleed a single drop of blood.
Brendan loosened his grip. âIâll get the waitress to take you there.â
He called over the waitress to send Deirdre to the washroom. The waitress waited by the door while Deirdre splashed cold water on her face.
She raised her head to look at the woman in her reflection with blurry facial features. She was shaking ever so slightly and found it ridiculous that she was actually infuriated by Brendan.
She had assumed that the manâs words would not affect her because she had lost all hope and was utterly disappointed. Yet, his carefree, unbothered behavior became a spike that stabbed through her body. She was in so much pain that she cried.
She could not refrain from pulling out her phone to call Kyran.
The call was picked up after a while. His voice sounded warm and comfortable like the wind on a springâs day, only that his surprise could not be concealed. âDeirdre? Why are you calling me all of a sudden? Are you alright?â
Tears welled up in Deirdreâs eyes beyond her control, and she could only say smilingly, âCanât I call you for no reason? When have you become such a hotshot that your girlfriend canât even check up on you, Mr Reed?â
Kyran chuckled and said, âNo, Iâm not trying to stop you from checking up on me. Itâs just rather unexpected. I thought that youâve been mistreated, and youâre calling me to vent your grievance.â
Deirdreâs gaze dimmed, but she forced herself to perk up by saying, âHow can I be mistreated when Iâm home alone? Itâs only that⦠I miss youâ¦â
The other end of the call fell silent. It sounded like there was a commotion despite the silence.
Soon afterward, a voice inquired, âSir, is there-â
Deirdre could not hear anything else after that. It was because the phoneâs speaker was covered suddenly, and the voice became distorted during the call. She could only tell that it was a woman speaking.
The voice sounded familiar for some unknown reason.
Deirdre could not refrain from asking, âWhere are you? Why is there a woman speaking next to you?â
The phone was pulled closer to Kyranâs mouth as he said, âIâm in the hospital, and the nurse was looking for me earlier.â
âReally?â
Deirdre lowered her gaze. Meanwhile, the waitress knocked on the door to remind Deirdre it was time to go out.
