Kyran looked at her gently. He pulled something that he had been holding dear for a long while from his pocket and handed it to Deirdre. Even though they were crumpled and unrecognizable, Deirdre knew the moment she held them in her hand that they were their air tickets to Germia, the tickets to her freedom.Tears began to stream down her cheek, and Kyran gently wiped them off her face. He typed on the phone, “I’ve been waiting for you to return so that I can fulfill my promise. Deirdre, I'm glad I found you, and I’m glad that you're still alive.” Deirdre could sense his relief through the mechanical voice and words. However, before she could say anything, Kyran faltered and limped forward.“Kyran!” She was shocked and hastily went forward to support him, but Kyran had become so much heavier that she could barely hold him. Deirdre squatted down and placed her hand on his forehead. When she realized that he had a fever, she exclaimed, her voice shaking, “What happened? Why is he h

Declan pushed the door, and the light in his eyes dimmed as he saw their interaction.No matter how calm he was right now, he did not have any mood for a joke right now. He handed a phone to Deirdre and said, “Miss McKinnon, I believe this is yours.”Deirdre was stunned. She did not expect that she could still get her phone back.“Where did you…”“We found it lying in a bush in the courtyard. It had shut down due to insufficient battery, but many phone calls came in after we recharged it.”Deirdre’s heart skipped a beat. She was certain that most calls came from Madame Russell and Tobey. After all, she rarely did not answer their calls for so many days or did not give them any calls.She took over her phone and pressed her lips tightly. “Thank you very much, Mr. King.”Declan offered her a wide grin and said, “Don’t mention it. I’ll leave Kyran in your care then, Miss McKinnon. I’m going back to the hotel to get some rest. I’ll come back again when he wakes up.” “Okay.”After

Kyran was stunned. He clenched his fists in secret. His heart began to pick up its pace, but then the stinging pain on the back of his palm calmed him down. He typed on his phone and asked, “What about now?”Deirdre lowered her head. “I already know that you’re not Brendan, and I’ve made up my mind,” she said. “I shouldn’t have suspected your identity just because someone told me that you’re not Kyran. After all, we’re a couple, and I should have faith in you.” “Yeah,” Kyran replied bitterly. “Deirdre, I’ll never be the person you talk about. I’m Kyran, your Kyran.”“My Kyran?” Deirdre lowered her head. It seemed to her that Kyran was really good with lovers’ prattle, and she felt a bit embarrassed.Kyran put his hand on hers and asked, “Deirdre, do you hate that guy very much?”Deirdre froze. Then, pain and suffering entered her eyes. It took her a few moments to calm herself down and take a deep breath. “Yes. I hate him. His existence is a nightmare for me. He destroyed everyth

Mrs. Cox was not belittling Hoyt. It was just that there was such a big gap between Kyran and Hoyt. She had seen a lot of men in her life, and none of them was better than Kyran. Deirdre chuckled and lowered her head. “But I’m sure Mr. Leigh is treating me as one of his friends.”“Really? I don’t think so,” said Mrs. Cox. “You didn’t come back with Hoyt yesterday, so I asked him where you had been. He was kind of dejected while explaining the whole story to me. He looked very sad, and I’ve never seen that kind of expression on his face before.”Deirdre was stunned, but before Mrs. Cox could say anything further, Kyran returned. She stopped saying anything and changed to another topic. “Why don’t you two stay for a meal? I’ll go prepare some food for you.”“Okay, but Kyran and I still have to go somewhere else.”“Where are you going?”“We’re going to Mr. Leigh’s house.”“I see,” replied Mrs. Cox. “Well, he has helped you a lot as well, so you should go and say thank you to him

Madame Leigh felt it strange as well.“Are you sure about that?” Hoyt asked, “Mr. Reed was using his phone to talk yesterday. He’s mute, right?”“I don’t think so.” The village head frowned. “I’ve heard his voice with my own ears. He was very cold and indifferent toward us. Whenever he opened his mouth, he would only be asking about Miss McKinnon’s whereabouts. That’s why I remember him so clearly.”“Me too,” said Madame Leigh. “He was talking to Mr. King that day, and I didn’t see him using any phone at all.”Hoyt was stunned. If that were the case, why was he using his phone when talking to Deirdre?Also, if Kyran was not mute, wouldn't he feel inconvenienced talking to Deirdre using the phone? Or was he doing it on purpose? Was he hiding something from her?Hoyt frowned and fell into deep thought.The village head shrugged and said, “Maybe he isn’t feeling well. Or he just doesn’t feel like using his voice today. It is none of our business anyway. Let’s go inside. The weather
