Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 396

Declan opened the door and entered the room just in time to hear his remark. He chuckled and said, “You guys sure are lovey-dovey.”

Deirdre lowered her head in embarrassment and fiddled with the blanket. Kyran asked, “How can I help you?”

“I had something to go over with you initially, but I would like you to teach me now how to keep a straight face when you make such a sick, flirtatious remark?” Declan muttered, “Do you feel less shame because you’re using the phone to convey the message?”

Kyran replied in a righteous tone, “If the heart is sincere, the remark is no longer flirtatious, but it’s the truth from one’s heart.”

Declan said in a pleading manner, “Alright then, I can’t win an argument against you, anyway. How is Miss McKinnon’s face? Does Dr. Engle think that it can be restored?”

Deirdre raised her head subconsciously when she heard her name. “Hmm. Dr. Engle said that it is slightly difficult, but it should be fine.”

“Great then. He’s very famous in his profession. Don’t worry. Set your mind at ease to treat your face. You get to recuperate with Kyran here coincidentally.”

“Hmm.” Deirdre nodded and said, “Thank you to all of you for being so concerned about my face.”

“Why are you thanking us?” Declan smiled mischievously and said, “We’re a family.”

He left when Deirdre’s face started blushing.

Deirdre stayed in Kyran's room and helped to give him a sponging at night. She was already getting quite used to this that she could do it without feeling nervous, but she still avoided the crucial part.

Another week passed, and Dr. Engle made arrangements for the surgery. Deirdre lay on the operating table and thought about Kyran’s comforting words. He had said that he would keep her company.

Deirdre lost consciousness after the anesthesia was administered. When she woke up again, her face was stinging with pain and wrapped in bandages. She was about to touch her face when Dr. Engle hastily said, “Don’t touch the surgical site. The surgery is a success, but you will still need to let it heal before you can see the effect. If the effect is unsatisfactory, we’ll need to do it again.”
