Deirdre was utterly stunned, not only because she had heard her name but also Brendan's words.
"Although he is never willing to show it, I'm clearly assured that he cares a lot about you. Since
he cares, how could he be annoyed by your order? I'm afraid that he'd be happy about that."
At that moment, Sam's voice seemed to be ringing in her ears.
In a daze, she sat back in her seat. Brendan tightly held her hand until he completely fell asleep.
After some time, Brendan was finally awake. He wasn't surprised when he saw the familiar ceiling because he
clearly knew his body's health.
Feeling his mouth dry, he tried to wake up. The next moment, he heard a voice from beside, asking, "Woke up?
Would you like to drink some water?"
‘This voice...’
Brendan was shocked and turned to the source of the sound.
He saw Deirdre was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, her hair was coiled up, and she was sitting near
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe window.
Brendan was astonished. 'Why are you here?"
"Isn’t it normal for me to be here? Before you passed out yesterday, I was the last person you saw. Naturally, I had
to find someone to take you to the hospital and take care of you here." Deirdre replied without taking it to her heart
and asked Brendan again, "Thirsty?"
Brendan's mind was blank, and it took him a while to answer, "Yes.”
"Let me get you a glass of water."
Brendan was only aware that the woman was Deirdre when the glass of water was handed to him. She was really
here, and it wasn't a hallucination that he saw Deirdre last night.
But why would she stay back?
"Isn't your flight supposed to be this morning?"
"I had Sam change it," replied Deirdre in a calm manner.
Brendan’s fingertips trembled, "Why?"
"To pay back your kindness."
"Kindness?"
Brendan held back his breath, wondering what kind of kindness he could have shown Deirdre.
Deirdre seemed to be aware of Brendan's change and said as she clenched her fists, "Thank you for coming to
rescue me when I was abducted.
"I only learned the truth from Declan. I thought you used me as a bargaining chip, but it turned out you didn't." She
paused. "Sorry, I've misunderstood you."
Disappointment and some other emotions flashed across Brendan's black eyes.
"Is that all?"
Deirdre was startled for a moment, thinking of what else she could say.
"Not really. I also would like to thank you for your willingness to divorce me."
Brendan chuckled weakly. No one knew how happy he was the moment he saw Deirdre in the room.
When he was happy, he was afraid that he would think too much and give himself false hope. It turned out that the

"You don't have to thank me." He put down his glass and said with a downcast expression, "If you count it seriously,
it’s me who owes you. It’s my atonement since I used to treat you badly."
Deirdre moved a bit, but she didn't say a thing.
'What time is your flight?" asked Brendan again.
"It's four in the evening."
"Four..." Brendan took a glance at the view outside. 'We won't be meeting again after you leave, will we?"
Deirdre fell into silence.
Anyway, Brendan might not want to hear the answer from her directly when he was asking the question.
Brendan chuckled again, "Do you hate me?"
Deirdre lowered her head and then her eyes. She couldn't lie and said," Yes."
Brendan had ruined her for half of her life. Hence, she couldn't say that she didn't hate him.
"But no matter how much I hate you, I still have to repay your kindness. I'm different from you. I don't want to
spend the rest of my life thinking about my guilt for you. I think we should end it now. From now on, I don't owe you
anything, and you shouldn't come to me either."
