Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 170

Chapter 170 You Should Be Comforting Yourself

Brendan dialed the phone number, and when the call was connected, he passed the phone to Deirdre.

The doctor sounded very stable as he said, “Miss McKinnon, I understand how eager you are to see your mother. However, because your mother’s heart issue is at a critical junction, it’s not advisable for her to see you. If meeting you affects her emotions, our hard work all this while will be in vain.”

“T-Then…” Deirdre asked while biting her lip, “When can I see my mother?”

“It won’t take long, Miss McKinnon. Provided that her situation gets better, probably in about a few months. It’d be good for you to see your mother.”

“Alright.”

After ending the phone call, Deirdre was still in a daze. She had to wait for several months. When every moment of her life was like a year, could she really survive through a few months?

Looking at Deirdre’s bewildered expression, Brendan couldn’t help raising his hand, wanting to stroke the messy hair on her forehead. But before he could touch her head, Deirdre seemed to sense it and took a step back.

When Brendan recollected himself, he frowned again. “Do you need another form of compensation?”

Another form of compensation? When Deirdre thought about it, she realized that she didn’t.

Perhaps she needed one thing-she wanted to leave. However, she knew clearly that if she were to voice this desire, Brendan would not be happy and surely wouldn’t fulfill her request.

“No.” Deirdre replied in a raspy voice, “I don’t think so.”

For a moment, Brendan had a hint of sympathy on his face. But when he spoke, he said nonchalantly, You may think about it and tell me when you figure it out.”

“Okay.”

Deirdre looked blank as she paced toward the stairs, staggering away from Brendan and going up to her own room step by step.

words.

In return, Deirdre had merely received the promise of compensation in a condescending tone.

“How’s it going?” Upon seeing Deirdre remain silent for some time, Sam vaguely guessed something. ” Miss McKinney found herself a good excuse, didn’t she?”

“No.” Deirdre smiled wryly. In fact, it wasn’t a good excuse. It was a lame excuse that no one would believe.

“Anyway, this matter is over.” Deirdre felt sorry for Sam. “I’m sorry, Sam. I was not considerate enough. I let your hard work go to waste.”

“No worries, McKinnon. You shouldn’t apologize to me.” While feeling surprised, Sam stared closely at Deirdre’s face and sympathized with her. “Aren’t you the one who’s been hurt the most?”

Sam added, “I just found something by accident and dug it out. But you should have placed a lot more hope in it, as the one who needs comfort the most is you.”
