Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 650

Chapter 650 How Can You Possibly Care About Me?

"No, we wanted this. It was only dragged on by other things,” Deirdre replied flatly. The only thing that really bugged her was that she had misunderstood Brendan, but her feelings about him did not change. "We don't like each other."

"Huh? Okay..." Glenna was baffled, but she respected it enough. "So... you're going to leave with Brendan later?"

"Yes, but I'll be back soon."

"In that case, I'm taking you to the ward first."

Before she could even do what she said she would, Brendan emerged from the door in a coat. His face was sallow and sickly-it was clear just how ill he had become. He kept coughing, and his eyes were bloodshot. When he saw Deirdre, his eyes widened a little.

Then, a look of mockery shadowed his face. "Time to go, Sam," he ordered the guard next to him and ignored Deirdre altogether. He brushed past her.

Deirdre shuddered. Glenna held her hand. "Dee?"

"It's okay." This was well within her expectations, so she was not that shaken up either. "Thanks for bringing me here, but you should go. I'm going to Neve for the time being and will be returning after my divorce."

"Um, okay. Give me a call when you're at the airport once you're back, okay? I'll drive you."

Deirdre flashed her friend her usual smile. “Got it."

Seeing Brendan slowly disappearing into the horizon, she widened her eyes, made out the vague outline of his back, and

followed him into the elevator. The door closed, and heavy silence weighed so much on her that she almost could not breathe.

Only Brendan's suppressed coughs occasionally broke the silence.

Deirdre moved a little and feigned nonchalance.
