Chapter 623 Every Wrong Has Its Cause
Brendan exuded a powerful presence that felt like the air was burning with anger. However, he suddenly stuffed the
medicine back into the bag the next moment.
"You spare no effort to make an excuse and act so mysteriously. I thought that it was something else, so it’s just a
contraceptive pill. Are you being so secretive because you're scared that I will be displeased? Deirdre, you know
that you’re overthinking, right?"
Deirdre was stunned by Brendan's reaction for a moment, but she realized soon that she should not have acted
secretively.
She did not wish to be pregnant with Brendan's child, and he should also share the same thoughts. Why would she
think that Brendan would be angered by her decision?
"You're right. I'm overthinking the situation." She relaxed, unboxed the medicine, and removed the pill from the
packaging before taking it with water.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBrendan watched from behind. His expression could not be seen clearly due to the poor lighting.
After Deirdre swallowed the pill, Brendan said, "It seems that the man has taught you a lot. You weren't that
sensible in the past. You would spare no effort in seizing the opportunity to get pregnant with my child at the time."
Deirdre had no idea why Brendan would talk about the past.
She wondered if he was only making small talk or found her past self foolish and ridiculous.
She chuckled calmly. "It has also taught me a great lesson, and it is precisely due to the great lesson that I've
learned to be sensible."
They fell quiet for a long time when her voice died away. Brendan picked up his jacket that was placed on the sofa
and said in a rigid tone, "It’s time for me to leave."
She did not call him out for his poor trick of avoiding the topic of conversation, but she nodded in agreement.
She heard the sound of the door being opened and shut as she unwrapped a packet of instant ramen.
She lost her appetite after Brendan left.
Ultimately, she chose to munch on an apple after being caught in a dilemma before sitting on the sofa.
The living room was spacious and empty. She turned on the television and leaned against the sofa while she dozed
off. She heard the door knob being turned in a sleepy state.
'How long has it been?'
Deirdre stood up, clutching the blanket, when the door was opened.
Someone walked into the house. She could not see clearly and assumed that the person was Brendan. She asked in
puzzlement, "Didn't you just head out? Why are you back so soon? Did you leave something?"
Before she could hear an answer, the person stretched out his hand, and a rag with a pungent smell covered her
nose instantly.
Deirdre immediately struggled with all her might, yet she could not fight the intense dizziness that took her. In the
end, her body fell limp.
Deirdre opened her eyes and inhaled sharply when she regained consciousness.
She felt a shiver down her spine at the thought of the person who barged into the house.
'Who was it?'
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSince Brendan had arranged for her to live there, it meant that it was an absolutely safe place. How did the person
find her there, then?
Her head was in a chaotic mess when the person in front of her suddenly moved.
Deirdre raised her head abruptly.
She saw a man standing before her.
She could see the outline of a man, but she could not see anything else. Before she could ask, the man spoke
eagerly out of turn. "Miss McKinnon, it seems that Brendan cares about you more than normal. He has actually
hidden you in a godforsaken place. Finding you has really taken me a lot of effort and time."
The man spoke in a slurred voice, inhaling sharply every time he enunciated his words. It was apparent that the
man was having trouble speaking due to the pain of losing a few teeth when Brendan punched him.
"Is that so? Thank you for taking the trouble to do that, Mr. King.” Deirdre was not surprised that the abductor was
Cillian. After all, even if it was not him, it would be someone closely affiliated with him.
"Every wrong has its cause. Since Brendan is the one who offended you, you should be giving him trouble. Why
would you direct the spearhead at a woman like me?"
