Chapter 714 Tobey Has Returned Deirdre bit her lip tightly. When she came back to her senses, she made another call, typing the phone number in her memory.
After a short while, the call was connected and a sleepy voice rang out.â Who is it?â
Embarrassed, Deirdre parted her lips and said, âMadame Russell, itâs me⦠Iâm sorry for calling you at this late hour. Were you sleeping?â
âDeirdre?â Eilis woke up and sat up straight. âOf course not. Iâm still watching TV on the couch. Whatâs the matter? Why did you call me all of a sudden? I thought you said you were going to Germia soon.
Did you have a fight with Mr. Reed?â
âNoâ¦â Deirdre felt a gush of warmth surging in her heart. Eilis had always cared about her. âNothing happened between us. Itâs just that we were held back by something, so we havenât departed for Germia yet.â
âI seeâ¦â Eilis sighed. âWell, on the bright side, itâs good to stay home as well. After all, international calls are expensive. It costs a lot for you to call me like this, and I donât want you to spend so much money.â
Deirdre chuckled. âDonât you worry about that. Kyran is rich.â
âWell, youâre right. I feel more comfortable since Mr. Reed is by your side. If it were someone else, I would have said no and sent them away,â Eilis said. âAnyway, what made you call me at this late hour?
Do you need my help?â
Deirdre lowered her head and said in embarrassment, âMadame Russell, do you still have my motherâs photo?â
âOpheliaâs photo?â
âYeah, well, I remember you having one. Do you still have it?â
A susurration came from the other side of the line. It appeared to Deirdre that Eilis was getting out of bed. After a short while, Eilis shouted happily,â Found it! I knew I was right. Ophelia didnât like to take pictures, and she only asked the four of us to take a few photos together on a whim that day.
I put one in Tobyâs room, and the rest were under my box.â
Deirdre forced herself to calm down and asked, âDo⦠Do you mind sending one to me?â
âOf course not,â Eilis said. âI really donât mind. I shouldâve given you these photos, but I didnât get the chance to give them to you because you left in such a hurry. If you want them, Iâll bring them to you.â
âItâs okay. You donât have to bring them to me since youâre so far away. You can just have someone send them over to me.â
Eilis suddenly remembered something and said, âOh yeah, Toby is coming back tomorrow. He said he was going to look for you, but I told him that After she calmed herself down, she opened the door and went out.
âDeirdreâ¦â Glenna was waiting for her outside. When she saw Deirdre, she asked worriedly, âAre you alright? You look really pale.â
Deirdre offered her a smile and said, âIâm fine. I was just reminiscing about my mother.
Anyway, I canât explain everything to you, Glenna, but can you do me a favor?â
âYeah, sure.â
âCan you make a copy of the photo for me and get it back to me before morning?â
Since Brendan did not want her to know about the photo, she would pretend that she did not know about it. As for whether or not the woman in the photo was her mother, everything would come to light when Tobey came. mixed emotions surging inside of her. After she calmed herself down, she opened the door and went out.
