Chapter 648 You're Shaking

Deirdre's mind went blank.

"You know what happened after that, right? Since he had the chance to capture Brendan, Ci llian seized the moment. That was why everyone was trying to stop him from going alone, but he was just doggedly persistent. He was so terrified at the prospect of you getting hurt just because he was late for a second.”

"No, how could this..." Deirdre closed her eyes, quivering. Myriad emotions crashed onto her-at its core, anxiety.

She remembered what he had said when he was in Gillian's house. "So, this is who you think I am? A selfish, cruel man who would abandon you the moment there's danger?"

She remembered what he had said while his life was hanging by a thread as he sat up from his bed. "I’m sorry about the abduction. I should have known better. I should have done more. I honestly don't know how Cillian knew where you are, and for that, I apologize.”

All those words had brought her was burning rage. She had perceived it as Brendan trying to excuse himself with his silver tongue.

The man might have wanted to explain himself, but she did not give him the chance at all, did she?

Deirdre suddenly felt a mountain's weight crashing onto her chest. She could not breathe.She had misunderstood him. She had really misunderstood him, hadn't she?

"Miss McKinnon? I know you hate Brendan. He hurt you so much that even I wouldn't be able to forgive him. But he did all he could this time. He didn't sleep a wink for a week, and he let himself be beaten up for you. Did you really think he had no idea what was going to happen to him if he went to save you alone?"

Declan sighed.

It was then that his phone rang. He picked up, and his expression suddenly turned frigid and severe. "I need to go.”

"What happened?" asked Glenna.
