Chapter 752: Chapter 753

Chapter 753 Price to Pay for Hurting Her Brendan gnashed his teeth as he felt wave after wave of dizziness, leaving his internal organs riddled with blood and throes.

Glenna retaliated with a smile. “That’s right. You should be suffering more than her. This is the price you need to pay for hurting her.”

Tobey might have paid a great price, but Deirdre finally managed to rest in a room.

There was a woman, the wife of a crew member, who was responsible as a chef for taking care of the crew’s meals. When she learned Deirdre was pregnant and bleeding, she purposely came and knocked on Deirdre’s door. Because Deirdre couldn’t see, the woman helped Deirdre to change, put a sanitary pad on her lingerie, and took out her bloody clothes to wash them.

Deirdre truly appreciated the woman’s help, but the woman replied, “It’s not a big deal at all. I’m just doing what I can. When I was pregnant, I didn’t suffer as much as you are. I didn’t have to board a cargo ship, traveling in the cold wind.”

She sat near Deirdre and asked curiously, “Miss, I’m really curious why you would go to Surstate through this method. Could the parents did not agree, and you eloped?”

It wasn’t surprising for the woman to think they had eloped. After all, it was weird for Deirdre and Tobey to select this means of transportation. Nevertheless, Deirdre didn’t explain herself.

She only replied with a smile, “I got it. But you are the one who has to suffer. You’ll suffer a lot later with your body being so weak.”

In the beginning, Deirdre didn’t understand what the woman meant but understood it only later.

Leaning on the railing, she was throwing up so much she felt awfully sick. The combination of motion sickness and hyperemesis gravidarum made her feel bad almost every second.

When she was done and squatted down, Tobey handed her pieces of tissues. “Wipe your face.”

“Thanks.”

Deirdre wiped away the tears which covered her face.

Heaving a sigh, Tobey asked, “When did you first realize you were pregnant?”

“After I learned that Kyran is Brendan.” Deirdre smiled wryly.

If the child were to come earlier, she might sincerely feel happy about its arrival, but now, she couldn’t tell what she felt.

Frowning heavily, Tobey asked, “What do you plan to do?”

“What to do?” Deirdre looked up in confusion.

Tobey was startled. It took him a while before he said, “Deirdre, don’t tell me that you want to keep this child!”

Deirdre was dumbfounded and rooted to the spot. She could barely find her voice to say, “No…”

She was woken up by the sea breeze and pursed her soft lips. “I just haven’t thought about it yet.”

“How can you not think about it? It’s Brendan’s child. You should know that it must not live when you find out!”

Tobey took a deep breath and said, “Deirdre, I know it’s also your child, and you will be reluctant to let it go. But since you have chosen to leave, you should start it all fresh!

“Do you know how difficult it is for a single mother to survive? Moreover, you’re blind! You can’t even take care of yourself, let alone the child! Having it will just be a burden to you!”

“I understand.”

Deirdre knew that Tobey was pointing out the reality.

It was just that she couldn’t be cruel to do it. She somewhat felt that the child was that embryo she used to bear in prison. It was all coming to her. The last time she couldn’t protect it even after trying her best. But what about this time? She was, at least, a free woman.

Looking at the confusing face of Deirdre, Tobey looked rather conflicted.” Deirdre, tell me the truth.

Even though you know that Kyran is Brendan, you still love him, right?”
