“Mr. Reed, your medicine has been prepared.”Mrs. Cox served the medicine just in time to see the young couple hugging each other. She said, “Yikes, have I come at the wrong time? I’m sorry for bothering you. I’ll knock the next time.”Deirdre could not help feeling embarrassed while Kyran loosened his grip over her. “No, you came at just the right time. It is time for my medicine and rest, indeed.”Mrs. Cox served the medicine, and Kyran downed it in one gulp. Deirdre was surprised because she remembered her tongue going numb from the bitter medicine when she took it. Kyran took it well by finishing it in one gulp without stopping before he declared he was done.“Isn’t it bitter?”“It’s fine. It tastes much better than the one I had previously.”When he took it so lightly, his reaction made Deirdre’s chest tighten with anxiety. She realized that he must have endured hardships when he was previously severely ill. She said, “I had to suck on a candy when I took it in the afte

Dr. Engle said after examining her, “You’re recovering very well. There won’t be any scars when the scabs fall off. It should happen in the next two days.”Deirdre thanked Dr. Engle smilingly.At that moment, Dr. Engle noticed something. “Has your vision returned, Miss McKinnon?”“Yes.” Deirdre said, “However, I can only see some light and blurry colors of an object, but I can’t see something clearly yet.”“How did you lose your sight, Miss McKinnon?”Deirdre paused for a moment and turned to the area behind subconsciously where Kyran was.Dr. Engle said smilingly, “You can choose not to answer if it’s inconvenient for you. I’m only thinking that there should be hope of recovery for the eyes if you’re not born blind.”“Really?” Deirdre held the hem of her top tightly. It was truly torturous for her not to be able to see. Moreover, she felt the urge to see how Kyran looked. Dr. Engle said, “This is only my prediction. It would be better for you to examine your eyes, of course.”

Kyran had spoken so quickly that Deirdre was stunned and only heard ‘didn’t know it was you’.She furrowed her eyebrows and said, “What do you mean by not knowing it was me?”Kyran clenched his fists tightly, and his gaze dimmed. “What if he didn’t know that the call was from you? Perhaps he would have commissioned someone to treat your eyes if he knew. It’s possible that he is not that merciless that he would seize your ability to see?”Deirdre chuckled. “That is how I used to think. We were married, after all. He should have some feelings for me after being married for two years, at the very least, right? Yet, I was too naive.“Charlene mentioned me when he took my call, and the impatience and disgust I heard in his voice were not feigned. I had no doubt that he would only scold me for ruining his mood on an important day if I were to tell him the truth at the time.”She could still remember Brendan’s tone until today, perhaps because of how profound the incident was to her. She

Kyran put up with it for a while before he relaxed his frown and answered, “I won’t let her associate me with him, even for the slightest bit. I want to separate myself from Brendan and be the Kyran that she knows.”“Yet, you’re not Kyran. You’re Brendan.”Kyran took a glance at Declan upon hearing that and found Declan’s expression to be unpleasant. “Brendan, I hope that you can keep a clear head. I understand that you are determined to get Deirdre to trust you, but if you continue to behave like this, you’re going to have a hard time. Your body is utterly incapable of tolerating meals of this spice level. If you can endure and finish the meal today, how about the next time? How about in the future?”“I’ll get used to it in the future.”“Used to it?” Declan was incredulous and could not help laughing from anger. “Can you guarantee that you won’t give yourself away for every day that follows? Even if you force yourself to get used to eating spicy food, how about your face? You can’

‘Charlene has already been captured?’Deirdre was incredulous, and her grip on the phone tightened from excitement. “Are you serious?”The police officer said, “Miss McKinnon, we’re the police, so we don’t lie.”Deirdre calmed down her breathing. She had almost given up on pursuing the case and did not expect that there would be a change in the abduction investigation. After all, Charlene was Brendan’s lover. She could not possibly be captured as long as Brendan still loved her.She calmed herself with great effort. Kyran walked over and asked softly, “What’s going on? You sounded very emotional earlier.”Deirdre turned around and wrapped her arms around Kyran’s waist. “The police just called and informed me that the culprit who abducted me has been captured.”“Really?” Kyran’s gaze was tainted with ferocity at the mention of the abductor. “The police work rather quickly and haven’t disappointed us. Do you need to be at the police station now?”“Hmm, they’re asking me to identif
