Chapter 457 Couldnât Let Brendan See It The nurse hurriedly held Deirdre up, but Deirdre was feeling dizzy. She had heard the sound of the camera shuttle earlier. Her face had turned pale as a sheet, and she touched her body.
âMiss McKinnon? What are you looking for?â
âMy phoneâ¦â Deirdre forced herself to calm down. âCan you please lend me your phone? I think I left mine in the ward.â
The nurse immediately took out her phone. âWho do you want to call?â
âD-Declan King!â
The nurse naturally had Declanâs phone number. After she made the call, she passed it to Deirdre.
While pressing against the marble countertop, she was shivering.
She knew she would disturb Declan by calling late at night, but she had no other alternatives. The photos must not be spread.
âHello.â After quite a long while, a hoarse manâs voice was heard. âWhoâs this?â
âMr. King, itâs me! Iâm sorry for waking you up at this late hour.â
Declan was indeed sleeping. But when he heard Deirdreâs voice, he immediately sobered up because something must have happened for Deirdre to call him. Therefore, he asked in a low voice, âWhatâs it?
Did something happen?â
Deirdre took a deep breath. âSomeone broke into the 11th floor. It was a man. He came in while I was doing laundry, closed the door, pulled off the bandage on my face, and photographed me!â
Declan frowned heavily. âPhotographed you?â
âYes.â Deirdre said with a trembling voice, âMr. King, do you have any way so the photo wonât be leaked Out!â
Declan reassured her while putting on his clothes. âMiss McKinnon, donât worry. I have already warned the media. Not many would dare to publish any news about you. You donât have to worry about your current photos. No one will think you are Charlene McKinney, even if they are released. In fact, itâs easier for us to explain.â
âNo.â Deirdre clenched the phone tightly as her mind went blank. âI donât care if those people know who I am. Itâs Brendan! If he sees that photo, he will come for me!â
For a moment, Declan was stunned and stopped his movement. When he recovered his senses, he continued to button up and said, âDonât worry, Miss McKinnon. He wonât see it.â
âW-Why are you so sure?â
âThereâs no reason. His ward is now sealed off. He canât get out from the inside, and no one can get in from the outside Therefore, how can your photo be shown to him so easily?â
Deirdre felt comforted. She gradually looked relaxed though she still felt the lingering fear. Declan added, âDonât worry, donât be nervous. I will definitely solve this matter.â
Upon hearing the promise, Deirdre heaved a sigh of relief. âThank you, thank you very much.â
It was only after the call was over that Deirdre realized that the nurse had been by her side the whole time, so she might have listened to their conversation.
Deirdre felt nervous, and the nurse promised tactfully, âMiss McKinnon, Iâm ordered to take care of you only. Other than that, I know nothing. The same goes for what youâve just said. I will forget it when I go out.â
Afterward, the police came again during the day, checked the surveillance cameras, and chatted with Deirdre, asking about the personâs characteristics.
Because Deirdre was blind, she couldnât help much. But before the police left, she thought of one thing.
âThe day before yesterdayâ¦â She tried recalling. âThe day before yesterday, at the laundry room door, at man came to ask me something. His voice was exactly the same as the man who attacked me last night.â
The man completely moved around the surveillance camerasâ blind spots yesterday, and his face couldnât be seen clearly when he was in public. Therefore, Deirdreâs words helped a lot. The police took notes, told Deirdre not to leave the ward, and left.
