Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 390

Deirdre thought how scary her face would be, but she figured it must look terrible. Otherwise, the kid wouldn’t have cried when he saw her face.

She let out a self-deprecating smile, and her head went blank again when she thought of Kyran.

She wondered why he wouldn’t be scared of her. Did he really not care about her appearance, or was he just taking pity on her because of his ex-girlfriend? So he did not care about her appearance at all.

If it were the latter, then she would feel very sad.

Four years ago, she became Brendan’s wife because she looked like Charlene. Four years later, she gained Kyran’s sympathy because of the same reason again.

Tears began to fall from the corner of her eye as she slowly slipped into slumber.

The next day, Declan did not receive any call from Deirdre. He had no choice but to tell the attendant to keep an eye on Deirdre before heading to the hospital alone.

He pushed the door open. It occurred to him that Kyran might not have slept the previous night. When he opened the door, Kyran turned his head and looked behind him.

“Stop looking. She didn’t come with me this morning.”

Kyran retracted his gaze and heaved out a sigh.

Declan stepped forward, observing him as he said, “You didn’t sleep last night, did you?”

“I can’t sleep,” typed Kyran as he looked at the bed opposite him. The bed had been cleaned, but he did not know why he could still seemingly sense Deirdre’s presence on the bed. A smile appeared on his face, but very soon, it disappeared. At the same time, a trace of sadness spread from the bottom of his heart.

There was something he could not understand. Everything had been fine yesterday morning, but things started to change after she took his clothes out.

Freya knocked on the door and said, “Mr. Reed, I've come to deliver your medicine. Does your wound still hurt?”

It went without saying that Kyran wouldn’t believe her. He was confident they were not only talking about the things in the hospital.

Meanwhile, Declan chimed in and said coldly, “Really? I was there as well yesterday. You all acted as if you were caught talking badly about someone on the spot. I don't think you were just talking about things in the hospital.”

Freya forced a smile on her face and said, “Please don’t make fun of us, Mr. King. We didn’t—”

“You still don’t want to tell us the truth, huh? Very well, then. I guess you leave me no other choice but to call the head nurse and request to check the surveillance camera. I remember that all the cameras in the hospital have a voice-recording function. If we check the surveillance, the odds are that you might lose your job,” said Declan in a threatening voice.

Even though he was wearing a smile on his face, it did not reach his eyes, and it sent a chill down Freya’s spine.

She panicked and said, “No! Mr. King, I really didn’t say anything. I… I just said that Mr. Reed deserves someone better. After all, one of them is a handsome man, while the other is a monster with a disfigured face. I was just curious if Mr. Reed would be scared by Miss McKinnon's face when they're in the same room. Other than that, I didn't say anything anymore!”
