Chapter 231 Meeting Ophelia Again Just like Madame Brighthallâs remark, Deirdre had been staying at home because she was not presentable.
Brendan wanted to add on, but his phone rang. Sawyerâs voice came from the other end when he accepted the phone call. âMr. Brighthall, Madame McKinnon has arrived. Shall I let her enter the mansion now? Orâ¦â
Brendan was about to command Sawyer to let her in when he saw Deirdre abruptly lift her head, and her eyes lit up. Hence, he changed his command to âJust let her wait outside.â
He put down the phone and asked, âWould you like to welcome her on your own? Let me take you there.â Deirdre couldnât restrain her excitement. While nodding her head, she tidied up her messy hair nervously. Even though she had an ugly face, she still hoped that her appearance wouldnât scare Ophelia.
With Brendanâs support, Deirdre went down the stairs and went straight to the door.
From afar, Brendan had seen the woman at the door.
Even though he clearly understood that the woman was a stranger whose voice was similar to Ophelia, he was still surprised after seeing her clearly.
A complete stranger had suddenly become just like Ophelia, even from her clothes, behavior, and facial features.
Brendan suddenly felt a hint of hope from his uneasiness.
It seemed that this woman had put in a lot of effort. Would she be able to hide the truth so that it wouldnât raise Deirdreâs suspicions at all?
âDee Dee? Is it you?â
Deirdre paced forward on her own. When she heard the haggard voice with a hint of thrill, she suddenly turned the soundâs direction, and her blank eyes were wide open. Even though she only saw a pitch-
black. scene, she was excited.
âMomâ¦â She bit her lower lip and reached out her hands.
The middle-aged woman paced forward and held Deirdreâs hands. Her voice sounded extremely shocked as she asked, âHow did you become like this? Your face⦠and your eyes? Are you okay?â
Deirdre wept with joy. She shook her head desperately. âIâm okay. I just accidentally hurt myself. Bren has been trying to heal my eyes. Soon, Iâll be able to see again.â
It was just a casual excuse Deirdre had made up, but it turned Brendanâs eyes gloomy. He used to have such a thought, but he had been wondering whether Deirdre would still rely on him and whether this lie could be sustained.
The answer was obvious. Therefore, he could only maintain the status quo by letting Deirdre remain blind. âReally? Itâs good then.â The woman caressed Deirdreâs face and said worryingly, âI believe that Brendan. is good to you. Otherwise, he wouldnât take me here to meet you immediately after I was healed. Dee Dee, Iâm sorry for all these years. Your mom is back now.â
As soon as Deirdre heard it, she bit her lower lip and had an emotional breakdown. She hugged Ophelia tightly and cried heartbreakingly.
She had never lost her composure like this. She always maintained her calmness, restraining herself and being invulnerable. Even when Brendan treated her ruthlessly back then, she just lowered her head and refused to shed a single tear.
The only tenderness Deirdre had, she gave it to Ophelia.
At that moment, Brendan suddenly became jealous.
Even though he knew very well that he shouldnât become jealous because it was perfectly normal for Deirdre to rely on Ophelia, he couldnât help but think that it would be great if Deirdre would rely on him instead.
Maeve was somewhat touched. She looked at Deirdre with tenderness while patting on Deirdreâs back.
Silly girl, stop crying. Those who donât know might think that Iâve mistreated you.â
It took Deirdre a while to recover. When she heard that, she chuckled.
But very quickly, she was stunned.
