Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 352

Deirdre’s face was as white as a sheet. Hearing both his name and a question about their relationship triggered her.

Fortunately for her, Declan knew better than to pursue the thread. “No, never mind. It must have been something deeply distressing from the looks of it, so I won’t press on it anymore.”

“Thank you,” Deirdre muttered under her breath.

“God, I told Miss Charlene McKinney Mr. Reed’s room by mistake just now. That’s not good,” the first nurse murmured. “I should go up there and inform her of the change.”

“You don’t have to,” replied the head nurse. “I’ll inform the nurses on that floor.”

“Okay.”

Their conversation died.

Deirdre bit her lips as a new question took hold of her mind. Should she go up there? Charlene was there right now…

“You wanna take a break, Miss McKinnon? I’ll get you a room in a nearby hotel. You can come back in the evening. How does that sound?”

Deirdre stiffened for a moment and replied hastily, “T-That’s great.”

She felt lucky to have met Declan at this moment.

As soon as she entered his car, a thought leaped into her mind, prompting her to ask, “Mr. King, are you from Eastgene?”

Declan turned the steering wheel noncommittally. “Yeah.”

“Why the thought of turning Alnwick into a tourist spot? Ours is a pretty remote place, isn’t it?”
