Chapter 811 Be a Good Girl and Stop Moving âThatâs not necessary.â Brendan took a deep breath and frowned. âItâs too troublesome. Besides, Iâve gotten a lot better after changing the bandages. I guess the wound opened when I moved around just now.â âBut-â âDonât worry about me,â
Brendan said firmly, cutting her short. âMrs. Engel, youâre free to go now.â
Mrs. Engel had no other choice but to go ahead and clean up the mess.
Deirdre was standing frozen stiff on the spot. She seemed rather lost. Just when she turned around, Brendan held her hand.
âYou have anything to ask me?â Brendan asked as he watched Deirdre fixedly. He could see that she had something to say to him. He brought her closer to him and continued. âIf thereâs anything you want to tell me, just say it out loud. Donât keep it inside your heart. Itâs not good for your health. You can ask me whatever you want.â
The manâs fingers were cold, and Deirdre did not know to put her feelings into words now.
Perhaps she felt sorry for him since he had gotten injured because of Tobey. From the moment she heard his wound was bleeding, she was worried about him.
But he already found Mrs. Engel annoying, so why must she bring trouble to herself?
âItâs nothing,â Deirdre said as she pulled her hand back. âI just have some questions, but they arenât important. Iâm going back to rest.â
Brendan massaged the center of his forehead as he felt tired. He propped himself up from the bed and followed after her. âLet me walk you to your room.â
âYou donât have to do that,â said Deirdre, rejecting him. She fell silent for a moment and added, âYou should eat chicken soup and return to your bed.â
âChicken soup?â Brendanâs eyes lit up.
âDid you make it for me?â
âMrs. Engel made it.â
The light in Brendanâs eyes dimmed.
âAlright. Iâll take it. You should go back and get some rest early.â
Deirdre nodded and went back into her room. She lay on the bed, and her head was still replaying Brendanâs words.
âChicken soup? Did you make it for me?
She could sense the joy in his voice. However, his voice was filled with disappointment when she said she had not made the soup.
âWould he really take the chicken soup if I was the one that made it?â
With the thought in her head, she slowly closed her eyes. As she was about to slip into sleep, a well-
toned body pressed against her back, and a pair of arms wrapped around her carefully.
Brendanâs body scent entered Deirdreâs nostrils, and her eyelashes trembled.
âWhat are you doing here? Mrs. Engel hasnât finished cleaning your room?â âNot yet.â
The reality was that Mrs. Engel had already finished cleaning his room. It was just that it was rare for Deirdre not to give him the cold shoulder because of her guilt.
Therefore, he did not want to give up such a good opportunity.
Deirdre frowned. âBut I heard this afternoon that Mrs. Engel has dried your bed sheet.â âMy body is weak. I want my bed sheet to get dry for at least two or three days.â
Deirdre was rendered speechless.
âThen you can take my bed sheet, or I can go to sleep in your room instead.â
She tried to get up after she finished speaking, but Brendan did not give her a chance.
He felt a fiery pain from his wound after exerting some of his strength. His breathing became flustered as he said, âBe a good girl and stop moving. Iâm tired.â
Deirdre could sense that he was tired from his voice, so she stopped moving and could not sleep well throughout the night.
Brendanâs wound would hurt from time to time, causing him to yelp in pain when he could not hold the pain back.
After Dr. Lang changed Brendanâs bandages the next day, Deirdre could not help herself and asked Dr.
Lang about it.
Dr. Lang pushed his glasses to hide the glint in his eyes. âYou can rest assured, Miss McKinnon. This is something inevitable. After all, Mr. Brighthall rushed back here in his car one hour after his operation.
His wound opened up again along the way, so itâs going to take some time for the wound to be fully healed.â
