Chapter 75 She Had Already Lost Everything She Had Madam Brighthall was stunned for a moment before she said furiously, âWhere is she? Sheâs gone, of course! This is the house you share with Charlene. Why would a nobody like her show up at the villa?
She left a long time ago!â
âLeft?â Brendanâs pupils constricted. âShe canât see! How could you just let her leave like that!â
Madam Brighthall had been blinded by rage at the time. Now that she realized what she had done, she felt guilty but she still said stubbornly, âSo what if she canât see? Sheâs not a fool. Sheâs a grown woman. Canât she make a call herself or borrow a phone from someone else to call her family or friends after leaving this place?â
Brendan felt his head spinning and his heart racing.
Family or friends? How could Deirdre still have any family or friends?
Her mother was dead, and the only person she could depend on was Madam Brighhall, who had spoken to her harshly. As for Sterling, she had already been forced to break ties with him thanks to Brendan. She would rather be homeless and starve to death out there than reach out to Sterling given her unyielding characterâ¦
Hence, she had already lost everything she had. As a blind person, she had an even lower chance of survival than a dog.
âYou should go home. Iâm going to look for her! Iâll explain this to you later!â
Brendan suppressed the fear he felt in his chest and walked away in a rush.
Charleneâs face turned pale. âBren!â
She chased after him, her fingernails digging into her palms as she clenched her fists. tightly. She loathed Deirdre even more after seeing Brendanâs anxious expression.
âIâm sorry. I know that you must be blaming me. I already took a stand to stop your mother, but she insisted on kicking out Ms. McKinnon.â Her eyes were red with tears, and she was about to cry. âYour mother is unwell, and I didnât have the courage to oppose her strongly, so I could only watch helplessly as Ms. McKinnon left. Afterward, I wanted to seize an opportunity to call you up but I didnât expect that youâd come so soon. Please donât be angry anymore, okay?â
She cried profusely, and the sight of her sent a shiver down Samâs spine. So it turned out that the gentle, magnanimous Charlene was actually a two-faced person.
âI donât blame you.â Brendan felt as if his head was a mess. The sky had already.
darkened, and Deirdre was not dressed warmly. He shoved away Charleneâs reaching arms abruptly and said, âIâm going to look for Deirdre now. We shall talk about this later.â
He left in a hurry and ordered Sam to gain access to the surveillance footage.
Charlene was now standing at the door by herself, her eyes filled with hatred.
Deirdre walked down the path step by step, following the wall. She could hear the sound of congested traffic and the roads around her, but her mind was totally blank.
âThis is retribution. This is retribution for my wishful thinking.
âWhy did I think that Iâd be fit to take on Mrs. Brighthallâs position, and why did I insist on keeping Brendanâs child by opposing him?
âLook at me now. Everything I have has been taken away cruelly, and even Madam Brighthall, who used to care about me, hates me and finds me disgusting.â
Deirdre stopped walking abruptly and found the pain in her chest unbearable. Her little face turned ghastly pale.
Having nothing was really tiring.
She wanted to give up on life so badly, but her mother stopped her. Would her mother suffer more if she were to die and leave her alone in this world?
If she were to endure all this agony and hardship, would she be able to shield her mother?
At the thought of her motherâs wrinkly face, Deirdre felt very unwilling to give up on life. She really missed her.
She shook her head suddenly.
âNo.
âI canât allow myself to have that mentality.
âI canât allow myself to think about how my mother will feel when Iâm gone! I canât give up as long as my mother is still here! My mother is my support. How would my mother feel if I was gone.
âI must persist no matter how difficult it is!
âBut⦠I miss my mother so much. I would like to taste the food she cooks, and I miss her hugs..
Meanwhile, a black van suddenly stopped next to Deirdre.
The people inside the van swarmed over to her before she could respond and pulled her into the car.
âWhat are you doing! Stop it! Donât touch me!â
Deirdreâs face was filled with panic, and she was struggling with all her might.
However, she was utterly incapable of fighting back given her strength. A cloth was placed over her mouth and nose, making her feel dizzy before she lost consciousness completely.
