NovelOnlineChapter 238 He Didn’t Mind
“Don’t move!”
He suppressed his anger and waited until Deirdre’s finger stopped bleeding at last before he went
looking for the first aid kit left by Dr. Ginger in haste.
The temperature of the man’s lips was still lingering on Deirdre’s finger. She was supposed to feel the
stinging pain of the cut, yet the finger felt burning hot for no apparent reason.
She could clearly remember that Brendan was a neat freak, yet he did not mind doing that for her.
‘Has he lost his mind…‘
“Give me your hand.”
Brendan’s tone was filled with intense anger, but he had not lost his temper. Instead, he dressed
Deirdre’s wound with a bandaid meticulously.
He did not speak even after he was done.
Deirdre was rather anxious. “Are you angry, Brendan?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Is there nothing else that you can say other than this?”
Brendan answered in a hostile manner. He was so fueled by anger that he could lose his temper at any
moment.
Deirdre bit her lower lip tightly. “It’s because you are angry… but you’re not venting your anger as you
did in the past. You look like you are holding back, and all I can do is ask you.”
As Deirdre’s panic–stricken yet cautious mannerism confronted Brendan, he inhaled a deep breath and
thought about why he bothered to be angry at Deirdre.
She had always been like this, and it was unrelated to her blindness. Nothing could stop her when she
was determined to do something. If she cared about not hurting herself, she would not have married
him without hesitation three years ago.
“Didn’t you tell me not to worry earlier? You claimed that you sewed clothes for many children in the
clinic, so what the heck is going on with the wound on your finger now?”
Deirdre was so anxious that she wanted to hide her finger. She explained with her gaze lowered, “It’s
fine. It’s just a trivial matter. It’s inevitable to get some small injuries during sewing work.”
“So you’re implying that I’m taking this too seriously, right?”
“No…” Deirdre was caught in a daze.
She did not expect that Brendan would be so worked up.
“I hurt my hands accidentally when I was sewing in the clinic. After all, giving yourself a prick or two
when holding a needle is inevitable. Hence, it really is fine.”
“It’s fine with you, but it’s not fine with me!” Brendan’s eyes were icy cold, and his remark stunned both
of
them in unison.
Deidre’s lips moved. “Why is it not fine with you?”
Brendan furrowed his eyebrows but could not answer.
‘Because my heart aches for you? Because I care about you? These words are too affectionate.”
In the end, Brendan could not bring himself to say it out, but his gaze was locked on Deirdre’s face. He
asked, “Did Sterling not care when you were injured in the clinic?”
Deirdre was stunned when Sterling was suddenly mentioned. She lowered her gaze for a moment and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmanswered with great difficulty, “I suppose he cared. However, he understood my personality well
enough to know that persuasion is useless to me, and that was why all he did was help me to dress my
wound.”
She made it sound as vague as possible, but Brendan could still think about the cozy feeling when
Sterling and Deirdre were together.
Brendan furrowed his eyebrows in displeasure but could not bring himself to say something that would
convince Deirdre to stop. As such, he said coldly, “Be careful, don’t hurt yourself again.”
“Sure…”
Deirdre was surprised because she was under the assumption that he would tell her to stop right away.
She worked cautiously, but her eyes were blind, so she could only rely on her feelings. Naturally, her
fingers were pricked a few times beyond her control.
Brendan did not lose his temper again. Instead, he helped her to dress her wounds meticulously.
Afterward, Maeve came downstairs, and Deirdre hid the incomplete knee support under the table.
During the meal, Brendan said, “You can go out with Madam McKinnon today. You can take a stroll or
go shopping.”
Deirdre only came to realize that Brendan was speaking to her after a long time.
