Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 185

Chapter 185 Just Get the Pain Over With Rather Than Prolong the Agony

Dr. Ginger ran over to Deirdre as well. He felt Deirdre’s forehead with his hand, his expression unpleasant as he said hastily, “Take her to the room! Ms. McKinnon’s body is too weak. She can’t stand the cold.”

Brendan carried Deirdre down to her room and wrapped her body tightly in a blanket. He turned on the heater as well. The knot in the pit of his stomach felt relieved ever so slightly when he felt the warmth returning to the woman’s body.

He left the rest to Dr. Ginger.

Brendan headed outside for a smoke while Sam guarded the door. He said with difficulty when he noticed Brendan, “Mr. Brighthall…”

He kept his head lowered, his expression overwhelmed with emotions. He hesitated for a long time. before he finally said, “Is Ms. McKinnon’s mother… still alive?”

Brendan turned his head and took a cold glance at him. He had a cold, threatening look in his eyes. “What are you trying to tell me?”

Sam pursed his lips. “If Ms. McKinnon’s mother is not alive anymore, this lie won’t last forever. It would be better just to get the pain over with rather than prolong the agony…”

“Better just to get the pain over with rather than prolong the agony?” Brendan smashed a painting on the wall with a punch and spoke through tightly-clenched teeth. “You make it sound so simple. You can see Deirdre’s current condition. Do you think she would still want to live if she were to find out everything?”

When he had seen the agony in Deirdre’s eyes and the way she had jumped without any hesitation when the only hope she’d had left in this world was more loss, he had known that he could only continue to keep up this sickening lie.

He would never allow Deirdre to commit suicide again. He did not wish to feel his heart skip a beat like it had after witnessing the earlier scene.

“Watch your tongue. You should know what you should meddle with and what you shouldn’t meddle with, understand?”

Brendan warned Sam with cold eyes. Had it not been for Deirdre’s request, he might not have necessarily kept Sam posted there.
