Kyran’s hand trembled. “What did you call me?”
Something flickered in Deirdre’s eyes as she repeated, “Mr. Reed.”
Kyran took a deep breath to calm himself down and said, “Declan, can you give us a minute?”
Declan knew that he did not have any right to meddle with their affairs, so he did as he was told. Before he went out, he closed the door.
“What did I do wrong, Deirdre?” asked Kyran.
Deirdre’s eyes turned red when she heard what Kyran said. It took her a lot of effort to suppress the urge to cry as she took a few deep breaths.
He had not done anything wrong at all. The one who was at fault was her. He was out of her league. She should know her place and keep her distance from him.
“No, you didn’t do anything wrong. It’s just that I think I should keep my distance from you.”
Nobody talked for a long while after she finished speaking. Just as she thought Kyran would not say anything, she heard him trying to get off the bed.
She jerked her head up and was startled. She quickly dashed forward and said, “Kyran! Stop! You can’t get off the bed yet. Your wound might open up!”
Kyran closed his eyes. After a short while, he opened them up again and asked, “I thought you didn’t care about me anymore.”
Deirdre felt a pang in her heart.
“You know what, Deirdre? Rather than keeping your distance from me, you should have just killed me instead.”
Deirdre shook her head. She couldn’t say a single thing right now.
Kyran held Deirdre’s hand tightly as if he was worried that she might run away. He grabbed his phone with the other hand and typed, “Can you tell me what happened? Why do you have to do this to me?”
Deirdre felt raw in her throat. “I just feel that you have other better options.”
