Chapter 207 Are You Getting Rid of Me Because of Deirdre?
âNo, of course not.â Brendan did his best to deny it.
âHate Charlene? That would be impossible, of course. Charlene is my savior, so I would never feel that
way for her just because of that particular reason.â
Charleneâs expression relaxed slightly when she noticed how determined Brendan was about denying it . She sat closer to him and said, âWhy did you leave so suddenly then? Even if there is something impo rtant to do at the company, you still need to prioritize your health over anything else, okay?â
âHmm,â Brendan replied nonchalantly, yet his gaze was constantly sweeping over the shut door.
Charlene took a glance at the door as well. She felt her heart racing but forced a chuckle. âWhat are yo u looking at⦠Brendan? Do you need something?â
Brendan got straight to the point. âWhereâs Deidre? Why hasnât she returned after such a long time? W asnât she supposed to fetch me water?â
Charleneâs smile froze on her face.
âMs. McKinnon⦠passed me the glass when she saw me. I suppose she wanted to give us some privacy, which is why she hasnât come here.â 2 âGive us some privacy?â
Brendan felt a knot in the pit of his stomach yet had no idea how to vent his anger because that was jus t how Deirdre behaved.
She had never competed or fought right from the start. He would say coldly whenever he was with her,
â Iâm only willing to touch you because of Charlene. Otherwise, I wouldnât even be bothered to take a gl ance at a woman like you.â
She would express her sorrow but hold back her emotions. She would nod and answer, âI understand.â
Brendan felt his heart wrench in pain at the thought. How cruel and cold had he been in the past? 1 âItâs cold outside, but thereâs heating in the house. Iâll go and look for her.â Brendan removed the blanke t and was about to get up with the transfusion fluid in his hand.
Charleneâs face turned pale abruptly, and her eyes widened in incredulousness. âBrendanâ¦â
Her voice was shaky, and she was holding back her displeasure. âYouâre going to get blood backflow if
you keep moving like this. Ms. McKinnon is no fool. She knows how to dress warmer if sheâs cold.â
âThis is her room, where all her clothes are kept. She has nowhere else to go.â
Brendan got out of the room, holding the transfusion fluid, and found the woman downstairs. She was s itting on the sofa in a daze, and the sight of her tiny, emaciated body was pitiful.
She looked like a homeless child.
Brendan clenched his teeth tightly and felt like he was about to lose his temper. However, he had no idea why he felt that w dull her existence and neglect her own needs. âWhy would I think that Deirdre was a sinister, unscrupulo âBrendanâ¦â Charlene walked outside in a haste and found Brendan looking at Deirdre. The sight of his
affectionate, was a crushing blow to her. She felt a sense of uneasiness growing inside her but attempte hand is going to get bruised if you do this. Donât you want me to stay for a little while because I donât get to visit you often?
âAs for Ms. McKinnon, isnât she fine by herself downstairs? You can see her at any time if you want but I donât live here.â
Charlene was right. However, the more Brendan looked at Deirdre, the lonelier he found her. He was the He furrowed his eyebrows. âYou should go home, Charlene.â
Charlene was astonished. âWhat are you talking about, Brendan⦠Are you getting rid of me because of Deirdre? Tell me! Have you fallen for Deirdre?â
She was extremely anxious. She waited for Brendanâs denial eagerly for a long time, only to hear his sile
