Chapter 655: Chapter 656

Chapter 656 Don’t Be So Cruel in My Dream “I won’t take your words seriously, so it’s fine. However, please don’t let Brendan hear it, or you’ll enrage him.”

Sam choked, but Deirdre didn’t wish to continue with the topic.

“It’s very late now. You may just go back to rest. Just leave Brendan to me. I’ve slept enough to stay awake, so I can stay here to take care of him.”

Sam frowned. “But you’ll have to take care of him throughout the night. What about calling my colleagues here so you can have a good night’s sleep?”

“No, thanks.” Deirdre rejected his offer. Looking at the ward, she said calmly, “This is what I owe him.”

She didn’t want to be involved in the relationship that had ended. However, Brendan had come to rescue her when she was abducted, so it became a thorn in her heart. Hence, she wanted to try her best to pull it out.

She wanted the wound to be completely healed so she wouldn’t feel any scab when touched.

After Sam left, Deirdre felt around to sit on the bedside.

Brendan was short of breath. When Deirdre heard his muffled breathing, she seemed to feel his pain suffering from a high fever.

A nurse came in to remove the needle and was surprised to see Deirdre.” You are blind? How can they let a blind person look after the patient?”

“It’s me who took the initiative.”

“It’s not easy to look after a patient. You’ll have to observe his body condition, whether he’s still suffering from fever or not. Moreover, because the patient is still unconscious, you’ll have to discover his condition yourself. Hence, it’ll be very troublesome when you can’t see,” said the nurse.

Deirdre had not expected that it’d be so serious and clenched her fists. The nurse added, “Well, I’ll come to check once every half an hour then. I’m on duty anyway.”

“Thank you.”

After the nurse left, Deirdre managed to calm herself down, but she didn’t dare to relax.

She tensed up and tried her best to take care of Brendan by feeling his forehead with her hands from time to time.

It was in the second half of the night that Brendan’s fever finally subsided.

When Deirdre was about to withdraw her hand, her fingertips accidentally touched Brendan’s nose. As she went on touching all the way down his face, she somewhat felt that she was familiar with his face’s outline. It was as if she had just touched it not long ago on another person’s face.

Deirdre’s arm froze in an instant. She couldn’t help touching it more carefully. But as soon as she touched his face, Brendan suddenly moved.

Deirdre instantaneously regained her senses and asked, “Brendan, have you woken up?”

Deirdre didn’t receive a reply and frowned with uneasiness.

“Brendan?”

She stretched out her hand, and the next second, her hand was held by Brendan’s hot palm. While gasping for breath, he opened his eyes. With his vision still rather blurred, he could barely see the outline of the woman in front of him. He froze for a moment before he smiled wryly and closed his eyes again.

“Am I dreaming?” His head was still heavy, and his voice sounded very weak. He muttered, “How could she be here?”

Deirdre was stupefied when she heard that. Following that, she realized that Brendan should be referring to Charlene.

‘So, he is unable to let go, right?’

But as a man, the only thing he did right was to let Charlene be brought to justice.

“Brendan, are you thirsty? Shall I get you a glass of water?”

Brendan remained silent and frowned heavily while holding Deirdre’s hand, unwilling to let go.

Deirdre had no alternative, so she bent down and said, “Brendan, let me go so I can get you a glass of water.”

Following that, she tried to withdraw her hand.

Brendan again opened his eyes and held he tightly. “Don’t go. “Deirdre, d-don’t go. PPlease don’t be so cruel in my dream.”
