Chapter 209 Why Are You Still Resisting Me On the other hand, he had compelled her to become so nonâconfrontational and submissive.
Deirdre was about to say something when Dr. Ginger returned from outside. He was stunned for a mo ment when he found Brendan sitting on the sofa with the transfusion fluid in his hand. âMr. Brighthall, w erenât you undergoing transfusion on the second floor? Why did you get downstairs so suddenly?â
Then, he noticed the blood backflow in Brendanâs transfusion line and felt his heart racing. He ran over
and said, âWhy is there so much blood backflow in the transfusion line? You shouldnât be tormenting yourself no matter how strong your body is. The back of your hand is really swollen, and the transfusion site is blocked. Donât you want to get be tter?â
Dr. Ginger was furious yet speechless, as he had never encountered a troubleâ
making patient like Brendan. In comparison, Deirdre was a much more obedient patient.
âWeâre going to set up the transfusion line on your other hand this time. However, donât move about like that anymore. Weâre going to have to find a new site to set up the line if it gets swollen again.
Dr. Ginger set up a new line and managed the wound in the previous spot. Deirdre could not see, so sh e could only ask with an anxious expression, âIs the blood backflow very serious?â
âYes, of course. Half of the line is full of blood!â Dr. Ginger could not help nagging. âWhy did you come
downstairs when you were fine upstairs, Mr. Brighthall? Even if you really had something important to d o, you should have let Ms. McKinnon carry the fluid bottle. You were moving so much that the needle shifted. Arenât you in pain?â
Brendan parted his thin lips and answered calmly, âItâs because Deirdre was downstairs.â
âMe?â Deirdre was stunned.
Brendan said, âYou didnât come upstairs for a long time, and thereâs no heating downstairs. I was worrie d that you might be cold, so I had to come downstairs to get you, of course.â
âI was downstairs becauseâ¦â Deirdreâs voice halted to a stop, and her mind went blank.
âWhy does Brendan care about me?
âIs he really serious about returning to the past?â
âThere is no reason for you to stay downstairs.â Brendan stared at his hands and said in a resentful ton e, My only uninjured hand is now swollen, and it is all because of you.â
Dr. Ginger raised his head to take a glance at Brendan and thought about how shameless Brendanâs remark was.
Deirdre took it seriously and lowered her head in guilt. âIâm sorry.â
âYour apology canât cure my hands. Youâll be in charge of keeping me company and taking care of my d aily needs during my recovery period. Will that be alright?â
Dr. Ginger was dumbstruck with bewilderment. âYouâre asking a blind woman to take care of a healthy manâs dayâtoâ
day activities? Itâd be considered courteous of me to call you shameless. Youâre a soulless beast!â 1-
âSure.â
Deirdre furrowed her eyebrows deeply and accepted the task obediently.
In the next two days, Brendan behaved as if his hands were broken, and Deirdre had to spoonâ
feed him during meals.
âItâs too hot. Blow on it.â
Brendan ordered her. Deirdre found it strange because the soup was obviously lukewarm but she still blew on it cautiously before she brought the spoon closer to Brendan.
Brendan made Deirdre take off his clothes and strip him down during bath time.
Deirdre could not see but she kept her eyes tightly shut. She removed his clothes with shaky fingers and âItâs done.â
Brendan cracked a smirk uncontrollably and stepped into the bathtub as he looked at her flushed ears.
âI shall leave if thereâs nothing else.â
âHold on.â Brendan sat in the bathtub. âGet me the shower gel behind me.â
Deirdre felt for the bottle and stretched out her arm to pass the bottle to Brendan. A huge hand grabbed her wrist abruptly, and by the time she reacted to the situation, she was already falling into the warm water, her upper body leaning right on the manâs chest.
Shocked, she tried to get away in a haste, yet Brendan wrapped her in his arms. âWhy are you still resisting me? What have I done that you canât forgive me for?â
