Resent Reject, Regret By Aqua Summers Chapter 54

Chapter 54 They’re Kissing

Deirdre stopped speaking and shut her eyes. Realizing that he was being too harsh, Brendan explained by saying, “There’s no point in comparing yourself to her.”

Deirdre remained as quiet as before. Brendan stared at her dry, cracked lips and got. up to fetch her a glass of water.

“Don’t go to sleep yet. Drink the water before you rest.”

Deirdre turned her face to the side. “I want to rest.”

“Rest after drinking the water.” Brendan pushed the glass of water toward her by force. Deirdre refused to drink, and while she was struggling, the glass was knocked over and dropped to the ground, producing a loud noise.

Brendan was completely infuriated. “Deirdre, why are you doing this? I ignored your suicide attempt without making any comments. In the past, I would have never let you off! You’re still ungrateful, even after all that. Are you only going to behave. yourself when I force the drink down your throat!”

The collar of her top was wet, and Deirdre’s lips were trembling. She was in so much pain that she refused to drink, as one gulp of water would be sheer agony for her.

She knew that Brendan would not be convinced even if she were to explain herself, so she stopped speaking altogether.

Brendan was furious. He wanted to say something but stopped himself. He stepped out of the room with long strides.

Soon, the door was slammed shut.

The strong wind blew against Deirdre’s face at the very moment the door was shut. She curled up her body under the blanket and shut her eyes in lethargy. She knew that Brendan was furious, but it was not important to her anymore.

She could no longer be affected by Brendan’s mood because the pain and lethargy in her body overpowered her.

Her eyelids grew heavier slowly, and she fell asleep again.

She lost track of time until she finally woke up and heard the sound of footsteps next to her. She opened her eyes and asked, “Is that you, Brendan?”

The person was quiet for a moment. Soon, he said smilingly, “Hello, Ms. McKinnon.”

It was an unfamiliar voice that triggered Deirdre’s vigilance. “Who are you? Why are

you in my ward?”

“Please calm down, Ms. McKinnon. I’m the caregiver employed by Mr. Brighthall to take care of you.”

“Caregiver?” Deirdre furrowed her eyebrows.

Before she could even think, the man said, “Yes. It’s great that you’re awake now. Your medicine has already been prepared, and you can continue to sleep after taking the pills.” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

The medicine cup brought close to her emitted an intense, piercing medicinal odor. Deidre came to realize something at once. “You’re no caregiver! Who are you?”

She wanted to knock over the medicine cup, but the other person suddenly pushed down on her head and placed the cup against her lips before pouring its contents into her mouth by force.

Deirdre struggled wildly, yet the contents of the cup rolled down her throat. A moment later, her throat began to hurt as if she had swallowed several sharp objects.

The other person immediately ran away upon noticing the situation, while Deirdre’s face turned ghastly pale from pain. She leaned over her bed in an attempt to spit out.

“Deirdre! Deirdre! What happened to you?”

Sterling opened the door and found Deirdre hurling over the side of the bed, her face ghastly pale. He approached her in a haste.

“In… In my mouth…”

Deirdre only managed to utter three words before her back was drenched in sweat from the pain. Cold sweat was pouring down her body, and her voice was hoarse. beyond recognition.

‘Someone is actually trying to shut me up for eternity!’

Sterling immediately checked her mouth upon hearing her remark. He opened up her mouth and took a glance, only to see that the inside of her mouth was completely swollen.

“What happened? What did you take?” Sterling grew anxious instantly, worried that her voice would be destroyed judging by her reaction.

Deirdre had lost her sight, so if she were to lose her voice, she would have nothing!

His face turned ghastly pale, and he leaned close to her to examine her symptoms when Brendan opened the door and entered the room to witness the scene.

Deirdre was lying on the bed while Sterling was leaning over her, so it looked like they were kissing.
