Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 161

Chapter 161 He Was Angry

Sam replied, “I’m not very sure.”

He was unsure indeed because he had been guarding the door at the time without stepping into the room even for a moment.

“Mr. Brighthall talked to the attending physician for a while in the room and left afterward. Why?”

Deirdre said with a bitter smile, “It has been close to a week since he last came here.”

She had not felt much previously, but the situation was different now. The truth about Bliss’ death had already surfaced, and she wanted to hand the evidence to Brendan so eagerly that she could not wait a moment longer.

Sam furrowed his eyebrows, unable to figure out the situation either. However, he tried to pacify her by saying, “Don’t worry, Ms. McKinnon. It’s possible that the company has been busy.”

Deirdre did not believe him because she knew that Brendan would still find time to visit the comatose Deirdre on the third floor daily even if he was so busy at work. Nothing could stop him from coming if he wanted to.

Besides, it had been a week. He could not be so busy that he’d be occupied for a week, so it was apparent that he was reluctant to come.

She took a deep breath, wishing that this could continue, but she could not procrastinate anymore, not when the evidence was right before her.

“Sam, please lend me your phone to call Brendan, will you?”

Sam could not bring himself to say no. He dialed the number and passed the phone to Deirdre. Deirdre pressed the phone against her ear and the call was picked up after a while. The man’s attractive voice. was tainted with coldness when he asked nonchalantly, “What’s going on, Sam?”

He did not sound like he was busy.

Deirdre smirked in a self-mocking manner and said bitterly, “It’s me, Deirdre.”

The other end of the line was silent. Perhaps he was considering whether he should hang up. In the end, he resisted the urge and asked impatiently, “Anything wrong?”

“Hmm.” Deirdre asked, “Are you free today? I… I have something that I need your help with.”
