Chapter 474 Your Punishment for Falling in Love With Me
Deirdre spoke softly as if she was sad. The woman pitied her even more. She kept her head lowered while she
bandaged Deirdre’s hands and then said, “You can stay at my place for a while then. My son and daughter are
working elsewhere anyhow, and I don’t have anyone to keep me company. You’re not going to eat much anyway,
so we’ll just set the table for one more person. We’ll talk again when you remember who you can call.”
“Thank you.” Deirdre was grateful.
The woman waved her hand dismissively and said, “It’s fine”. Then, she prepared the room next to her and put up
some warm sheets for Deirdre.
“It’s cold under the mountain. Just make do with the current bed, and when the sun is out tomorrow, I’ll hang the
blankets in the closet in the sun so I can add another layer of blanket for you.”
“Sure.”
The woman left after reminding Deirdre.

She heard his promises, confession of love, and tender words for her...
She fell asleep in the end but still had a nightmare.
In the dream, Kyran’s blurry face gradually grew clearer until his well-chiseled facial features were shown. His dark
eyes were icy cold, and he looked at her arrogantly the way he did when he got down from the third floor in the
past with hidden contempt and exploratory behavior.
He said, “Deirdre, I told you that you’d never escape from my control.”
Deidre felt her throat swollen and in pain. She could only speak after exhausting every ounce of strength in her
body. “Why? Why won’t you let me off!?”
The man approached her step by step, and she could feel his cold gaze on her. “It’s very simple. I will not allow you
to live such a happy life because I enjoy seeing you in pain. I’ll show you my true identity once we’re in Germia. The
more terrified you are, the more delighted I am.
“Deirdre, don’t even think about breaking free from me for the rest of your life. This is your punishment for falling
in love with me in the past!”
Deirdre woke up in fear and found that her surroundings were still blurry. Her body was drenched in a cold sweat,
and she clenched her fists tightly. She opened the curtains and found that the light peeking through the curtain was
very bright.
She could not see the scenery outside the window, no matter how hard she tried. Her vision could only reach as far
as centimeters, and she still could not see clearly—even the outline of an object looked blurry to her.
She let out a cough and opened the door to walk outside. The woman had just placed a basket at the door when
she realized that Deirdre was awake. She asked, “Why are you up so early? Is it because you’re hungry?”
Deirdre rubbed her belly and answered truthfully, “Still okay.”
“Then you must be so famished that you don’t feel hungry anymore. Wait for me. I just foraged some wild
mushrooms from the mountain. I’ll pan-fry them, and they’ll taste great. Moreover, mushrooms are rich in anti-
inflammatory components.”
The woman walked into the kitchen with the basket while Deirdre followed her and helped prepare the wood-

“Oh right.” The woman said as if she was making a casual conversation, “There were many police officers on the
mountain when I was out foraging today. They were holding some tools and bustling about by the cliff. Are they
looking for you?”
Deirdre’s movements of adding firewood stopped for a moment.
“How can that be?” She calmed herself and said with a nonchalant expression, “I’m not important enough that a
bunch of police officers would come looking for me. No one would even frown if an orphan like me were to die.”
“Yikes, you shouldn’t say that, silly girl.”
Deirdre raised her head and said smilingly, “Hmm. I was only saying it as a metaphor.”
The woman cleaned and pan-fried the mushrooms, but she continued to mutter, “Frankly, it looks like a huge
lineup. If it really is you that they’re looking for, they will most probably find you here. The village is right under the
mountain.”
Deirdre did not answer. She waited for the woman to serve the mushrooms before going ahead to help the woman
to bake some sandwich bread.
