Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 268

Chapter 268 Besides, You Still Have Me

“You’re leaving tomorrow?” Deirdre was jolted back to reality, and her grip tightened ever so slightly. “So soon?”

“It’s not soon. I’ve already stayed for two weeks. Don’t you worry, I’ll come back when my treatment is completed.” Maeve caressed Deirdre’s face and said smilingly, “I hope that when I’m back, you and Brendan will give me grandchildren so I can dote on them.”

Deirdre’s lips moved, and she felt her heart wrench in pain and bitterness. She

wanted to tell her, “You were supposed to have a grandchild, but it was taken cruelly by Brendan because its existence went against his wishes.”

“What time will you be departing tomorrow?”

“In the morning, at around ten o’clock, I guess. Why, would you like to see me off?”

“Hmm!” Deirdre suppressed the urge to cry. “I don’t know when I will be meeting you again. Mother, you must take good care of yourself and come back soon.”

Maeve hugged Deirdre with a dreary look in her eyes. She’d think about how great it would be if Deirdre was her biological daughter occasionally, as her real daughter was a disappointment…

The door was opened, catching both of them by surprise. Brendan halted to a stop when he saw the mother and daughter holding each other lovingly..

Maeve wiped her face and said smilingly, “Since you’re here, I’ll head outside, Brendan.”

“Hmm.”

Maeve walked past Brendan to head outside. Meanwhile, Charlene looked at Maeve’s silhouette with cold eyes from another spot in the corridor and asked the young woman next to her, “Do you know her?”

The woman said through clenched teeth, “Yes, of course! That is my mother!”

“Ah?” Charlene narrowed her beautiful eyes gradually. “Are you sure? I hope you haven’t mistaken someone else for her because she is the mother of another woman now.”

Deirdre sniffed after Maeve left the room. She kept her head lowered, and her eyes reddened with tears. However, Brendan noticed her reaction.

He took a step forward, tilted the woman’s chin, and scrutinized her face, only to see her moist eyes and sad facial expression. He frowned a little and said, “What’s going on? Why are you crying?”

Deirdre was embarrassed. “It’s nothing.”

She was about to lower her head, but Brendan refused to let go of her stubbornly, so Deirdre could only answer, “I’m sad because my mother is going to leave tomorrow.”

Brendan realized that Maeve would be leaving indeed.

If he could do it, he’d arrange for Maeve to continue to stay in Neve and keep Deirdre company. However, Maeve was not alone. She had a family too.

“There’s nothing to be sad about. She’s going to receive treatment and she will be back soon.” Brendan comforted her in a hoarse voice, his eyes burning with passion. “Besides, you still have me.”
