Chapter 180 I Want to See Her in Person if She Is Alive and I Want to See Her Corpse if She Is Dead!

“You only need to answer me if my mother is still alive or not!” Deirdre was having an emotional breakdown. Her tears seeped into her mouth, and she could taste their bitterness. “Brendan! You promised! You promised me that you’d take care of my mother if I agreed to be Charlene’s scapegoat! If anything bad has happened to her, I will hate you for the rest of my life!”

‘If anything bad has happened to her, I will hate you for the rest of my life!”

Brendan’s mood was affected, and his breathing pattern changed as well. His voice sounded cold when he said, “No! Ophelia is still well and safe in the hospital! Deirdre, stop believing hearsay and learn to think in every situation. If Ophelia was dead, she’d be dead. Why would I lie to you about that?”

Deirdre sobbed soundlessly and shook her head. She was almost hysterical. “I don’t know…”

She had no idea why Brendan would need to lie to her, yet she had no choice but to believe the voice clip after everything that had happened recently.

“Since you claim that she is still alive, I would like to meet her now.”

“That would be impossible!” Brendan denied her request with a stern voice. He then explained with a frown, “Deirdre, hasn’t the attending physician explained this to you clearly? Ophelia can’t meet you now. Do you want Ophelia’s illness to deteriorate because she’ll get emotional after meeting you?”

Deirdre did not want that, of course. However, she did not wish to be controlled by his excuse anymore. ‘I want to see her in person if she is alive and I want to see her corpse if she is dead!”

“I’ve already been disfigured, and my face has changed. If you and I don’t tell her, she won’t recognize me even if she meets me.” Deirdre felt her collarbone area tense up and suppressed the urge to cry.

“You only need to bring her to the villa and let me talk to her for a while. As long as I can confirm that she is still alive… Brendan, I will agree to do anything for you…” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

In the end, she was begging him.

She had lost everything, so she did not wish to lose the last family member in her life.

Brendan was overwhelmed with emotions and felt like his chest was weighed down so much that he almost blurted out the truth.

‘But wouldn’t Deirdre lose the hope to live if I told her the truth?”

His mind went blank. On his right, Sam came and told Brendan that the guests were waiting in the boardroom. Brendan figured out something and said coldly, “I will let you meet your mother, but not today. We will discuss this more when I’m back in Neve.”

Upon saying that, Brendan ended the conversation rashly without giving Deirdre the chance to respond. This was precisely why the final ounce of hope in Deirdre’s heart was diminished.

She knew Brendan all too well, and he would act rashly if he was avoiding something.

Deirdre bit her lower lip so tightly that her lips cracked and blood seeped out. Her bloodshot eyes were filled with despair, and she was making an agonizing, sad howl in her throat.

The doctor was startled “Ms. McKinnon… Don’t hurt yourself. You can discuss this further when Mr. Brighthall is back. If there’s anything wrong, he will most certainly be able to solve it for you.”

Deirdre could not hear anymore. She stood up and walked upstairs. holding the handrail numbly with her remaining energy. Her emaciated body looked like a ruined doll as she walked up the stairs step by step.

The doctor was relieved and proceeded to deal with the aftermath. He had never seen Deirdre head straight to the third floor without stopping on the second floor..

There was a huge balcony on the third floor that had been built so Charlene could breathe the freshest air back when she had been comatose.

The villa had been built on a supreme plot, and it was said that one could have a wide view of the beautiful scenery from the third floor..

Deirdre had never seen it with her own eyes but she could feel the wind blowing against her from all directions now as she stepped on the icy tiles. She felt calm for a brief moment.
