”Yikes, yikes!” Eilis said in astonishment while she ate her oatmeal, “An influential person like him is injured? How did that happen? Aren’t influential people like them constantly being protected by bodyguards? It’s not some cancer, right?”Deirdre was stunned and felt her heart wrench in pain. She laughed at how silly she was in her heart and kept her head lowered to consume the oatmeal.The news report was replaced by something else, and Eilis was having a delightful time watching the entertainment news. Deirdre washed her face and grabbed her gardening tools before she said, “I’m heading to the yard.”It had been a long time since she had done gardening. Due to the snow, there was nothing much for her to do, yet she could not allow herself to remain idle. She would need to find something to do because it was the only way she could stop herself from thinking and asking.Eilis knew Deirdre’s personality very well, so she concerningly reminded Deirdre to be careful. “Hmm, I’l

At that point, Declan was amused. “Both of you are the same, and one of you is more stubborn than the other. One insisted on coming, while the other insisted on waiting. Are both of you trying to get yourselves killed?”The first thought that came into Deirdre’s mind was the news report about Brendan’s collapse in the morning, of him being sent to the hospital for treatment that very night. Kyran too… It felt a little too coincidental.However, she discarded that idea immediately. These people had totally different personalities. Brendan was domineering, while Kyran was gentle. If Brendan were to find out that she was talking to Tobey on the phone, he would snatch the phone and hang up domineeringly before humiliating her. Yet, Kyran would not do that. He would never force her to do anything against her wish when he was displeased.Perhaps he had really caught a cold from fixing the switchboard last night?It was no wonder she had not received any update from Kyran, but the first

“K-Kyran?”The man’s eyes were filled with pain and lethargy. The sight of the woman sobered him up. He grabbed Deirdre’s hand once again and wrote on her palm. “I’m fine.”Deirdre broke into tears of joy. Kyran wrote, “I’m sorry.”“What are you sorry for?” Deirdre was stunned. “For making you wait.”Deirdre’s eyes reddened with tears abruptly. She shook her head with all her might and suppressed the overwhelming emotions in her heart.“It’s me who should be sorry. I encumbered you the other day. You wouldn’t have been caught in a road closure from the heavy snow when you sent us home had I not wanted to buy clothes. Had I not insisted on following you, you wouldn’t have removed your jacket for me and gotten sick. Everything that happened was my fault…”Kyran tapped on her palm to beckon her to stop. Then, he searched around and found his phone.“I’d be in agony if you got sick.”Deirdre was stunned instantly, and she was rendered speechless. She came to realize that Decl

“I know that it’s not your intention to worry us, but I regret even more that I can’t keep you company during this time.” Tobey sounded tired when he asked Deirdre, “Who is this Mr. Reed?”Deirdre was momentarily stunned and bit her lower lip before she told Kyran that she was going out to take the call. She took the liberty to walk out of the room and shut the door before she said, “He’s a new acquaintance of mine.”“He seems to object to my presence very much,” Tobey said half-jokingly, yet with a tinge of seriousness. “It would be great if I were by your side.”Deirdre’s expression turned gentle. She was about to speak when someone walked past her and said with excitement that could not be concealed, “Do you know that Brendan Brighthall from Neve is in our hospital?”All the blood drained from Deirdre’s face instantly, and her eyes widened incredulously as she looked in the direction of the source of the voice.The voice continued to say, “I heard that he is still single, and r

’1106…1106…‘Isn’t that Kyran’s room? How is it Brendan’s room?‘It’s supposed to be Kyran’s room! I was there earlier! Unless…’All the blood drained from Deirdre’s face, and her eyes widened in fear. ‘Unless Kyran and Brendan are the same person.’Deirdre stood in the same spot, stunned. It felt as if her energy was drained from her body, and she was incapable of moving. The thought of the reveal was suffocating. Yet, it was not utterly impossible when she thought about it closely.Kyran had always kept up with his mute image since he showed up, and she could not see with her eyes, so she could not reveal Brendan’s identity. He could turn himself into a stranger.She was probably oversensitive, but when she thought about it closely, it was highly possible for Kyran to be Brendan. In fact, Kyran was admitted to the hospital when news of Brendan’s hospitalization was reported. How could it be such a coincidence that both of them were admitted to the same hospital?She was un
