Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 184

Chapter 184 Is She Really Still Alive

“While there’s life, there’s hope?” This was simply the biggest irony to Deirdre.

She had been trying to live with great effort all this time, yet in exchange for her effort, she had been dragged into this hell of despair.

“My mother is dead, and I’ve been turned into this creature. You tell me… What else is there to hope for?”

She loathed Sam for saying ‘while there’s life, there’s hope’ so easily. ‘Can’t he see that all that is left of my life is darkness?”

“Are you still lying to me at this point?” Deirdre looked at him with hatred and despair. “Why didn’t you bring her with you if she is still alive? Brendan, does keeping me in the dark and using my mother to have a hold over me give you a sense of achievement?”

Her hysterical episode made Brendan’s eyes redden, and he felt suffocated.

He had not wanted Ophelia to die.

But if he were to acknowledge her death, he would not only need to admit his mistake, but Deirdre would lose her hope to live too. She would loathe him and defy him for the rest of her life.

He did not wish for that to happen at all.

“I told you. Is it necessary for me to lie to you? Would it be possible to get Ophelia out of the hospital so she can see you within such a short time? Listen to this if you don’t believe me!” Brendan pulled out his phone and said, “This is a voice clip recorded and sent by the hospital.”

He tapped the play button and Ophelia’s aged voice came from his phone’s speaker, accompanied by electrostatic noise. “My daughter? She’s adorable and very kind. She just spends way too little time with me, and I haven’t seen her around much. I miss her very much, but others keep telling me that my child has already grown up, so she can’t keep me company frequently. That’s why I don’t have the courage to call her. I’m not asking for much. It would be nice if she came to see me when she remembers me…”

The wind on the balcony was very strong, but the voice coming from the voice clip was unusually clear.

Deirdre broke down into tears.

Brendan said, “That’s Ophelia, right? You’re her daughter, so you must certainly recognize her voice.”
