Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 400

Deirdre realized that Kyran did not react to her face after they returned to the room.

Even though only the upper half of her face was restored, it was very startling to see her current face compared to her previously mangled face. Unexpectedly, Kyran behaved as if he was used to the sight of her.

Deirdre was confused about that.

After staying in the room for a while, Kyran behaved as if he realized something and asked, “Why are you still wearing the mask?”

Deirdre explained softly, “The recovery of my upper face is quite well, but my cheeks are still severely injured. Dr. Engle said that the recovery will be slower and that I will require regular wound dressing. We should be able to see some results in another two weeks or so.”

“Alright.”

‘Alright? That’s all?’

Deirdre could not conceal the disappointment in her eyes.

“Kyran, I’ve already sent the staff members to measure and pave the road on the Village Alnwick project. Later—” Declan opened the door and entered the room. His voice halted to a stop the moment he saw Deirdre.

Even though he recognized her, he said with raised eyebrows, “It’s no wonder Dr. Engle is said to be skilled in facial reconstruction. Miss McKinnon, you have transformed so much that I wouldn’t be able to recognize you on the streets.”

Deirdre felt her heart sink for a brief moment. At the same time, she felt shy.

If Declan was so surprised, why was Kyran so calm when he saw her face?

Deirdre forced a smile. “Mr. King, you’re exaggerating.”

“No, no, no. It’s not an exaggeration at all. I didn’t pay much attention to your eyes in the past. I didn’t expect your eyes to be so beautiful. I’m beginning to wonder whether Kyran could see your beauty from the start, and that is why he is doing everything he can to pursue you.”

He teased while Kyran darted a look at him. “Don’t think that everyone is as vulgar as you.”
