“What?” Declan’s face sank. He glanced at Kyran and went out of the ward. “What makes you think that, Miss McKinnon?”“I’m not sure as well. My gut feeling told me that someone was watching me. I could hear footsteps behind me too. Whenever I stopped, they stopped too. I have very good hearing, so I’m pretty sure about it.” After listening to Deirdre's words, Declan frowned and said, “Miss McKinnon, you should come with me next time. I’ll get an empty bed in Kyran’s ward today. You can rest on the bed if I can’t come back in time. Then, I’ll send you home.”“Okay.”After they ended their call, Deirdre went to close the curtain to prevent anyone from looking into her room from another building. She did not need any light since she was blind anyway.She sat on the bed for a while. Suddenly, someone knocked on her door.Deirdre did not make any sound or move. The person knocked on the door for a while, and she asked, “Miss McKinnon, are you there?” It was the voice of the hotel a

Deirdre’s eyes turned red around the rims. She sniffled, and it took her a while to say, “How did you get two phones?”“I borrowed it from someone else,” Kyran replied slowly. “Are you all right?”“What?” “You were followed by someone on your way to the hotel earlier, right? Declan has told me about it. You’re not terrified, right?”Deirdre still couldn’t come around to her senses from everything that had happened. Knowing someone lurking in the dark knew her very well and would harm her was not a nice feeling.She did not want Kyran to worry too much about her, so she took a deep breath and said, “I’m fine.”“Really?” Kyran replied after a short moment of silence, “I’m sorry.”“Huh? Why are you apologizing to me?” asked Deirdre. She did not know why Kyran would suddenly apologize to her. “I should have asked Declan to wait for you,” said Kyran. “If I hadn’t let you go so soon, you wouldn’t have been followed by someone. I’m very sorry about that.”“This isn’t your fault. Th

Declan said to Kyran with a smirk after he opened the door and entered the room, “How do you feel?”Kyran looked behind Declan first and nodded after spotting Deirdre. Then, he said with his phone, “Much better.”“Great then. However, it would be best for you not to celebrate too soon. You’ll still need surgery after this, and you will only be totally fine after the surgery ends.”“I know.”Declan called out to Deirdre. “Take a seat first, Miss McKinnon. I’ll get two sets of breakfast too. Oh, right. Would you like me to grab you some flu medicine along the way? I think that you might have caught a cold in view of your flushed face this morning.”He said to Kyran, “Miss McKinnon’s face and ears were flushed this morning when she got out.”Deirdre was at a loss for what to do. She lowered her head in embarrassment and said, “No…I don’t.”“What do you mean by you don’t?” There was no telling if Declan refused to let the matter be on purpose. “Miss McKinnon, one should seek treatme

“So, will you do it? Even though I’m not a neat freak, I’m not fond of being touched by others. It will be fine even if you don’t want to do it.”Deirdre replied hastily, “I’m afraid that I might hurt you accidentally.”“It’s fine. I’ll guide you.”Deirdre considered for a moment and replied, “Sure.”Afterward, Declan came and talked for a while. He said before he left, “Please come outside and help me with something, Miss McKinnon.”It was apparent that he had something to tell Deirdre.Deirdre shut the door after her when she got outside while Declan said in a solemn tone, “Miss McKinnon, it’s possible that you’ve been targeted for real.”Deirdre’s expression changed drastically. “What happened?”“I looked into the surveillance camera at the intersection yesterday and discovered that you were being followed. I don’t know the person's purpose, but it’s apparent that the person came prepared. The surveillance footage showed that he walked into a walkway and vanished at night. I

“What are you trying to say, Charlene?” Brendan had grown impatient. He was not feeling well from the start, and he was infuriated by Charlene now. “What information are you trying to extract from me? Are you afraid of me interacting with other women? Where else can I go other than staying in the room? Today is the only day that I went out in the morning and only returned now. If you’re scared of me being with other women, why don’t you send someone to watch me then?”It was apparent that Brendan was furious when he made the remark. Charlene hastily said in a soft voice, “Don’t be angry, Brendan. How will I have the courage to send someone to watch you? I’m only worried about your health. I’m just worried that you might get hurt. Since you’re fine, rest and recuperate. I shall go back to Neve for some time first, and I’ll be back again.”Charlene’s face dimmed quickly after she left the room.Brendan was growing more and more impatient with her. However, she believed that he was sti
