Chapter 290: Resent Reject, Regret By Aqua Summers Chapter 291

Chapter 291 Cannot Ruin Charlene’s Life Again Brendan wiped Charlene’s tears with his fingertips, and his heart softened. While suppressing the complicated look in his eyes, he said, “Don’t think too much. I’m happier that you could wake up.”

“Really?” Charlene bit her lower lip and asked, “Do you still like me?”

Brendan was stunned. He didn’t know if it was because Deirdre’s death had filled his mind, but he would have a heartache whenever he thought of her.

Frowning, he couldn’t answer the question..

While restraining her hatred toward Deirdre, Charlene didn’t force Brendan to answer but changed the subject. “About the promise you made to marry me back then, is it still valid? Ms. McKinnon has died, and your marriage has… Bren, it’s time for you to give me an answer.”

As he looked at Charlene’s expectant expression, his heart seemed tightened by something, and he could not breathe.

However, he knew he should repay what was owed. He had ruined Deirdre’s life and couldn’t ruin Charlene’s anymore.

After the truck was driven for an unknown number of days and nights while Deirdre was hugging her knees, she finally felt the car come to a halt. Following that, the door next to her was opened, and she heard the driver’s voice. “We’ve arrived.”

She staggered out of the truck. Her legs went weak as soon as she got out, and she fell to the ground.

The driver didn’t even think about helping her and just closed the door behind her.

“We’ve got to Village Alnwick. My mission to send you here has ended. From now onward, you’ll have to go on your own.”

Deirdre rose to her feet, brushed the dirt off her, and said, “Thank you.”

Hearing it, the driver took another glance at Deirdre again and couldn’t help but say gently, “Can you still remember the path back to your house? Even though you are blind, make sure you don’t run into a ditch. and drown yourself.”

“Yes, I can.” Deirdre smiled. This village was, after all, where she had lived for more than two decades.

Only then did the driver let go of his worries. He threw a stick to Deirdre. “This is for you to use as a blind stick. There is an alley ahead of you. Just go straight along the alley. There are houses. Well, I’ll have to excuse myself now. Bye.”

The truck was driven away. Holding the blind stick, Deirdre paced into the alley. She counted the doors on her right and knocked on the fourth door.

After a while, the door opened, and a middle-aged woman came out. “Who’s it?”

Deirdre wiped off the sweat from her face and greeted, “Madam Russel.”

Madam Russel was stunned because the voice sounded familiar.

“D-Deirdre?”

Deirdre nodded. “Yes, it’s me.”

Deirdre was taken to sit in the yard. Madam Russel hurriedly went to pour Deirdre a glass of water in the living room. She handed it to Deirdre, who took it and finished off with a gulp.

Madam Russel was staring at Deirdre’s face with sympathy as she asked, “W-What happened to your face?”

She couldn’t help but feel pity for Deirdre, who used to be such a charming and beautiful girl.

Deirdre replied in a calm tone, “I can’t recall it. I injured my face long ago, and it became like this.”

“What about your eyes?”

“Also the same.”

Madam Russel sighed. “How could such a good girl like you encounter such dangers? Your mother must be very distressed if she knew about it. By the way, where is your mother?”

Deirdre’s hand holding the glass froze. “She’s dead.”

“My goodness!” Madam Russel hurriedly held Deirdre’s hands. She didn’t know what to say because she was uneducated. Even after some time, she was still at a loss for words. She eventually hugged Deirdre, patted her back, and promised, “In that case, just stay here. You can stay here as long as you want. I’m best at taking care of people, provided you don’t mind.”

Deirdre nodded while smiling, her tears overflowing.

After taking a shower, Deirdre wore the dress Madam Russel had bought for her from the street. While she was combing her hair, Madam Russel was staring at her back with sentiment.
