Chapter 548 How Long Can You Keep Her in the Dark?
The first thing Deirdre did after returning to her room was to go into the restroom and wash her face.
Her consciousness finally returned a little bit under the stream of cold water. However, the heavy weight on her
chest still made her unable to breathe.
She was very grateful for Declan’s timely arrival, which saved her from Brendan’s hands. Otherwise, she might not
have been able to get away from him.
She picked up her phone. At that moment, she just wanted to listen to Kyran’s voice.
Declan sent Deirdre back to the mansion and left. A black car was waiting outside when he
came out.
He walked over, opened the door, and sat on the passenger’s seat. Brendan was smoking the third cigarette, and
he looked haggard. After taking one last drag of his cigarette, he asked, “Is Deirdre okay?”
“Are you sure you want to know the truth?” replied Declan, smiling bitterly. “How is there any possibility that she’ll

It went without saying that Brendan was well aware of this. It was just that he still felt a sharp pain in his chest when
he heard what Declan said.
“I finally understand why you refuse to appear in front of Deirdre as Brendan,” said Declan. She’s so scared of you.
Even if you’re Kyran, she might not be able to forgive you.”
Brendan closed his eyes. “I’ve been trying my best to hide my identity from her. Luckily, I didn’t say I was Kyran
before my identity was exposed. If not…”
He would not dare to imagine the consequences…
After a short while of silence, Declan said, “Are you planning to keep her in the dark forever? Instead of using your
own name, you used a fake identity just to be with Deirdre?”
“Do you think I have another choice?”
Declan was stumped.
No, he didn’t have another choice.
Brendan had hurt Deirdre so much to the point she would never forgive him for the rest of her life. Therefore, he
could only try to compensate her and redeem himself through a new identity.
However, Declan did not know why, but a feeling of unrest tugged at the bottom of his heart.
He had a feeling that it was not an accident that Deirdre ran into Brendan this time. He felt that Brendan would be
unable to keep his identity as Kyran for long.
Suddenly, the phone belonging to Kyran rang. As Brendan opened the window, he took out his voice changer and
placed it on his throat. At the same time, the exhaustion on his face melted away, and a gentle expression
appeared in its place.
“Hey, Deirdre.”
“Kyran…” Deirdre’s body was shaking, and she only calmed down when she heard Kyran’s voice. “Where are you
now?”
“Me? I’m in Germia now.”
“Really?” Deirdre asked calmly.

“Nothing,” replied Deirdre, her jaw set tightly. “I was just missing you, so I called listen to your voice. When are you

Realization suddenly hit Deirdre. She felt she was troubling Kyran, so she said, “No, no, no, it’s fine. You can just
continue with your own stuff. I’m just missing you. I’m not asking you to come back.”
“I’m sorry,” said Brendan. “I’ll come back to you after I’m done with my stuff here.”
“Okay. I’ll wait for you.”
As she did not want to disturb Brendan, Deirdre hung up the call after a short while.
Brendan looked at his phone silently for a long while.
“She’s very dependent on you,” commented Declan.
“So what if she’s dependent on me?” Brendan said mockingly, “I’m the one who made her so afraid of me. All I can
do right now is to disappear from her world and only appear before her as Kyran.”
Declan paused for a moment and asked, “How long do you think you can keep her in the dark?”
