Chapter 344 The Woman He Fancies
At that point, Declan was amused. “Both of you are the same, and one of you is more stubborn than the other. One
insisted on coming, while the other insisted on waiting. Are both of you trying to get yourselves killed?”
The first thought that came into Deirdre’s mind was the news report about Brendan’s collapse in the morning, of
him being sent to the hospital for treatment that very night. Kyran too… It felt a little too coincidental.
However, she discarded that idea immediately. These people had totally different personalities. Brendan was
domineering, while Kyran was gentle.
If Brendan were to find out that she was talking to Tobey on the phone, he would snatch the phone and hang up
domineeringly before humiliating her. Yet, Kyran would not do that. He would never force her to do anything against
her wish when he was displeased.
Perhaps he had really caught a cold from fixing the switchboard last night?
It was no wonder she had not received any update from Kyran, but the first thing he wanted to do when he
regained consciousness was to come to Village Alnwick.

“He’s not doing so well.” Declan did not have a reason to hide the truth, so he said in all seriousness, “Kyran had
health issues from the start, and his physical condition is weak. He gets sick and is admitted to the hospital very
frequently. Moreover, he has a high fever from being exposed to extreme cold. Had he not lost consciousness, I
wouldn’t be here now.”
Deirdre’s face turned pale instantly. She felt her heart wrench in pain at the thought of how Kyran had taken off his
jacket indomitably last night and put it on her while he endured the snowstorm.
‘He’s such a fool.‘
“You too. Had I not come in time, do you know how you’d end up on a cold night like this?” Declan heaved a sigh.
“Let me send you home…”
“Mr. King,” Deirdre said anxiously. She suppressed her coldness and said hesitantly,” Can I trouble you to… take me
to the hospital with you? I would like to visit Mr. Reed…”
She knew that she would not be able to sleep even if she were to go home, and her mind was filled with thoughts
about Kyran’s hospitalization now.
She was the one who put him in harm’s way.
“Are you sure? Your clothes are wet, and it’s late.”
“I’m sure.” Deirdre spoke in a determined voice.
Declan wanted to reject her request, but he remembered the person who had just regained consciousness on the
hospital bed. His rejection halted to a stop when he thought about the person’s ghastly pale face from the high
fever yet insisting on seeing Deirdre.
“Sure… I’ll take you to see him. However, it’s really late. It’s possible that it will take a long time to drive there. You
should get a nap first.”
“Sure,” Deirdre muttered and hugged herself tightly.
Noticing the situation, Declan increased the heater temperature in the car and started the engine.
Deirdre woke up instinctively when the car stopped. She had a bad headache and asked in a hoarse voice, “Are we
here?”
“We’re at the entrance of a hotel in the city. We’re still a distance away from the hospital, but you must get a hot
shower and change into fresh clothes. Your clothes are drenched. If you continue to be like this, you’re going to lose

Declan was thoughtful. Even though Deirdre was worried about Kyran, she knew that she would certainly get sick if
she were to continue to be like this. She nodded and said softly, “Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it.” Declan chuckled and said, “You’re the woman that my good friend fancies, after all.”
Deirdre was stunned, and her cheeks started burning soon. She came to realize that Declan must have
misunderstood the incident that had taken place in the church’s lounge the other day. She explained, “You’ve
misunderstood…”
“Hmm?” Declan was unbothered. “Get out of the car first.”
Declan passed his jacket to Deirdre before she got out of the car.
Declan checked Deirdre into a hotel room while he waited outside so Deirdre could
take a shower.
Both of them returned to the car once again after Deirdre got changed. Declan said, ” The journey will take a few
hours. You can rest first, and I’ll wake you when we’re there.”
“A few hours?” Deirdre could not help feeling surprised. She blinked in shock and said, “Aren’t we already in the
city? Why do we need a few hours? Is the hospital very far from here?”
“It’s not very far, but it’s snowing very heavily. There’s no snow cleaner at night, so driving fast is dangerous.
Moreover, I can’t go through the bridge, so I’m taking a long detour.”
