Deirdre found it cynical.
She could not sleep, so she felt about her closet for her trench coat and put it on before going downstairs.
When Madame Russell opened the courtyard door and entered, she had just arrived in the living room. She said hastily when she found Deirdre, “Why aren’t you in the house? Go back quickly. It’s freezing out there.”
Madame Russell shuddered while she walked. “A traveler just got here despite the weather. It’s freezing out there, and there’s no telling why the traveler is here. He is dressed in branded clothes and drives a luxury car. However, he’s a very good-looking man, and his arrival caused quite a huge commotion.”
“A traveler?” Deirdre felt her heart racing.
“Yes, he seems to be looking for someone and refuses to leave at all. He asked me a few questions when he saw me.”
“What did he ask?” Deirdre spoke anxiously, her face pale.
Madame Russell was stunned for a moment before she said, “In truth, he didn’t ask much. He asked about the situation in our village, the economic condition, and others. I found it strange because our village is known for being poor and desolate. It has already been close to six months since anyone new has entered our village.”
Deirdre clenched her fists tightly and felt her heart pounding in her chest. She was so anxious that she could hear her loud, rapid heartbeat, and she forced herself to calm down with great effort.
‘No, it can’t be… It can't possibly be so coincidental. I’m already regarded as a dead person by everyone now, so how can Brendan possibly know that I’m here? Moreover, Madame Brighthall wouldn’t have revealed my whereabouts to him.’
“What’s going on, Deirdre?” Noticing that something was off, Madame Russell stretched out her hand to caress Deirdre’s face. “Why is your face so pale all of a sudden? Are you sick?”
“No…” Deirdre forced a smile with great effort and asked, “That traveler… How tall is he? What does he look like?”
“His height? About 1.8 meters, I guess. He’s about Tobey’s height. As for his looks, he is good-looking, of course. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have caused a commotion.”
