Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144 Deirdre is My Woman

Was the person he hugged Deirdre McKinnon? Was the person the stubborn Deirdre who wouldn’t stop provoking him?

Why did it seem like he was hugging a cold, lifeless corpse?

Brendan couldn’t even sense her breath. This made him worried. Before he could recollect himself, he had strode into the house and rushed upstairs.

Everyone in the living room was shocked, looking at Brendan rushing in. His eyes reddened while carrying Deirdre, who was in a life-threatening phase. They were surprised to see the panic on Brendan’s face, which didn’t appear even when the Brighthall Group was placed in a menacing state

Brendan turned on the hot water tap of the bathtub and put her in “Deirdre! Deirdre!”

He gnashed his teeth and commanded, “Wake up! Do you hear me!?”

Why would it turn out like this when he merely wanted to punish her by locking her in the storehouse? Brendan couldn’t figure it out and never knew the punishment would eventually fall on him.

Brendan was afraid. He was afraid that Deirdre would stop breathing, even just for a split second. Hence, he couldn’t stop worrying.

When Deirdre’s body got warmer, he instantly called the doctor. After he had done all he could, his shirt was soaked in sweat.

All his subordinates were standing quietly in the living room. When they saw Brendan stepping down the stairs, tired, the atmosphere grew oppressive. None of them would even dare to breathe loudly.

“All of you, go back.”

Brendan’s command sounded like long-awaited freedom. Everyone except Sam left immediately. Sam remained standing at the door, his heart aching so much that he hardly breathed.

Traveling all over the world, even though he used to experience the critical moment of almost losing his life in the hail of bullets, he had never been as scared and restless as he was today.
