Chapter 31 The Condition of My Eyes Is All Your Fault âYou didnât receive surgical intervention during the best treatment time, so it would be too difficult to treat the condition now. The success rate of the surgical intervention would be low, so I donât recommend taking the risk to undergo surgery.â
âItâs fine, I donât want to treat it either.â Deirdre suddenly stood up and felt her way to the door so she could leave.
Brendan was planning on going after her initially but remembered that he had yet to get the medicine.
He got the medicine and went outside, only to see that Deirdre had almost felt her way out to the corridor.
He walked swiftly over and caught up to her. He pulled Deidre by the wrist and said, âHave you lost your mind! You walked out of a doctorâs consultation midway. Itâs fortunate that youâre blind, or you might have already run out of the building!â
Deirdre struggled free from his clutch and pinned her hand tightly against the wall. âI feel suffocated and Iâm trying to get some fresh air.â
âIs that so?â Brendan looked at her face, but her tense body and resistive gesture showed no suffocating symptoms. Everything about her made it seem like she was unwilling to be in his presence.
Brendanâs patience was running really thin. âWhat the f* ck is wrong with this woman?!
âDeirdre, donât you dare think that everyone is going to yield to you because of your current condition.
Come back with me. Even if the surgical intervention doesnât work, we should be able to treat your condition conservatively.â
He clutched her wrist once again in preparation to take her back to the consultation room. Deirdre became even more resistant all of a sudden and slashed through Brendanâs face with her fingernail in the midst of her struggle, leaving a bloody streak on his face.
Brendan, who was furious, pinned her against the wall.â What the heck are you doing!â
Deirdreâs eyes welled up with tears, and she was breathing heavily. âI should be the one asking you what the heck youâre doing! Brendan, you will only need to treat me like a servant, like you did in the past. You may summon me and have me abide by your orders, but you donât need to show mercy out of nowhere. Iâm not going to treat my eyes, and I donât want to!â
Brendan had just come to realize that his kindness was unappreciated.
He used to be cold to her, yet she would still approach him shamelessly. Now, he wanted to treat her eyes out of kindness, yet she resisted as strongly as if he was trying to kill her.
âYouâre an idiot, Deirdre.â
He was so furious that he turned around and walked away. However, he turned back after taking two steps and grabbed Deirdreâs wrist.
His gesture was so rough that Deirdre could only catch up to him after a few steps.
Deirdre was shoved into the passenger seat, but she was used to it. Her body curled into a ball, and she did not move at all. Brendan started the engine and asked with a sneer, âWhy did you lie to the doctor when your eyes were only blinded after you got together with Sterling? You claimed that it was June 27. What are you trying to do there, Deirdre?â
Deirdre was stunned.
Brendan found her reaction insulting. âWas I wrong? You were still in jail on June 27, and I still had intel on you at the time. How could I not have known that your eyes were ruined?â
He spoke in a confident tone. Deirdre finally realized something after a long while.
âBrendan has no idea about my eyes being blinded indeed. After all, all he wanted was to disfigure me and abort my child. Why would he go as far as to destroy my eyes?â
Deirdre found Brendanâs buck-passing behavior amusing.
She regarded him as her biggest nightmare , but he did not seem to feel mentally burdened by the incident at all.
âYou think that I only lost my sight after I got out of jail, right?â âWhat else?â
Deirdre laughed. She burst out laughing so hard that her body began trembling. Brendan furrowed his eyebrows abruptly and stared at her. âWhy are you laughing?â
âWhy am I laughingâ¦â Deirdre wiped her tears. âIâm laughing because youâre so good at deceiving yourself. Youâre actually pretending that you have no idea how I lost my sight⦠The condition of my eyes is completely your fault!â
Screechâ¦
The piercing noise of the tires screeching to a stop was heard. Brendanâs handsome, flawless face was filled with shock. He then looked at Deirdre with narrowed eyes. â Come again?â
