Kryan didn't seem to like the answer. He was silent for a moment before asking, "Is it just because I'm sick? If I didn't get hurt because of you, wouldn't you want to see me at all?"
Before Deirdre could answer, Kryan typed in silence, and his face turned sickly white. "Deirdre, you should go back. I'll ask Declan to arrange a car for you. By this time, the road to Alnwick should have been unblocked. You can go back and stay with Madame Russell at ease. You don't have to come to the hospital to accompany me."
"I don't want to," Deirdre blurted at a pace that even surprised her.
Kyran was stunned. Deirdre clenched her fists and said, "It will be very boring for you to be alone in the ward because of the long recovery time. I can chat and talk with you."
"It's okay." Kyran typed, "I'm often alone, and I'm used to it."
When Deirdre heard the phrase ‘often alone’, she couldn’t help but be reminded of herself. The time she had spent in prison, in Brendan's mansion, and even in the car during the escape, she was always alone.
She enjoyed solitude and was also afraid of solitude. In fact, she was even more terrified of those who cared, as they might disappear at any time.
She began wondering whether Kyran had the same feeling, whether that was the reason he had said they were of the same kind when he professed his affection toward her.
"Let's talk about it only after your operation is over. I can't feel at ease even if I go back now. After all, you’re sick because of me. Besides, you need someone to take care of you now."
Kyran stared at Deirdre. When he saw her haste and stubbornness, his eyes gradually softened.
"Deirdre, you are too kind. It’s easy to be manipulated by others."
Deirdre smiled in response. "In that case, will you manipulate me?"
Kyran looked deeply at Deirdre. "I will."
Deirdre was momentarily stunned because the answer was out of her expectations. She felt puzzled. Following that, she heard the mechanical sound of the phone.
