Chapter 144 Deirdre is My Woman Was the person he hugged Deirdre McKinnon? Was the person the stubborn Deirdre who wouldnât stop provoking him?
Why did it seem like he was hugging a cold, lifeless corpse?
Brendan couldnât even sense her breath. This made him worried. Before he could recollect himself, he had strode into the house and rushed upstairs.
Everyone in the living room was shocked, looking at Brendan rushing in. His eyes reddened while carrying Deirdre, who was in a life-threatening phase. They were surprised to see the panic on Brendanâs face, which didnât appear even when the Brighthall Group was placed in a menacing state Brendan turned on the hot water tap of the bathtub and put her in âDeirdre! Deirdre!â
He gnashed his teeth and commanded, âWake up! Do you hear me!?â
Why would it turn out like this when he merely wanted to punish her by locking her in the storehouse?
Brendan couldnât figure it out and never knew the punishment would eventually fall on him.
Brendan was afraid. He was afraid that Deirdre would stop breathing, even just for a split second.
Hence, he couldnât stop worrying.
When Deirdreâs body got warmer, he instantly called the doctor. After he had done all he could, his shirt was soaked in sweat.
All his subordinates were standing quietly in the living room. When they saw Brendan stepping down the stairs, tired, the atmosphere grew oppressive. None of them would even dare to breathe loudly.
âAll of you, go back.â
Brendanâs command sounded like long-awaited freedom. Everyone except Sam left immediately. Sam remained standing at the door, his heart aching so much that he hardly breathed.
Traveling all over the world, even though he used to experience the critical moment of almost losing his life in the hail of bullets, he had never been as scared and restless as he was today.
Sam clenched his fists and fell silent for a moment. Without hesitation, he asked, âMr. Brighthall, can I wait a little longer? Iâll leave immediately after the doctor declares that Miss McKinnon is saved.â
Brendan was unhappy at Samâs request. Sam had crossed the line outrageously.
His black eyes narrowed, his gaze became indifferent, and the aura he exerted forced Samâs face to turn pale.
âSam, donât you think that I donât know who brought the puppy to Deirdre. Although I donât care about it, it doesnât mean that I donât know. Itâs just like you now,â said Brendan in a condescending manner.
Indifferently, he added. âDeirdre is my woman. Now and forever.â
Samâs face went white. âMr. Brighthallâ¦Y-Youâve misunderstoodâ¦â
Brendan sneered, but he slowly tightened his fists behind him. âI hope that Iâve misunderstood. Now, get out!â
Sam eventually went out without saying a word. Meanwhile, Brendan leaned on the chair with his hands. as support. He looked unexpectedly grave, and his eyes turned stormy.
He knew better than anyone else that Deirdreâs face had been disfigured. He didnât care about that disgusting face of hers. However, he had never thought that someone would not care either.
All of Samâs ex-girlfriends were charming and alluring. Yet, such a man would have a crush on Deirdre.
âDeirdre, Iâve really underestimated you.â
Brendan gnashed his teeth. First was Sterling, and now Sam. Yet, it was the result of disfigurement. If Deirdre wasnât disfigured and maintained her natural beauty, she would be more attractive, wouldnât she?
After the doctor checked on Deirdre, he fed her some medicine. Following that, he checked on her a few times before relaxing his tightly knitted eyebrows. âSheâs temporarily safe. But she has to be taken care of because of the severe cold.â
Watching Brendan staring at the woman lying on the bed without uttering a single word, the doctor couldnât help but say, âWhat kind of hatred is it that sheâs been forced into this state? Even if it was a punishment, reprimanding her would be more than enough. If she hadnât been so lucky and her body.
temperature hadnât completely cooled down, sheâd have alreadyâ¦â
