Chapter 617 Tricked by Laura
Deirdre waved her hand in reply to Brendan's question. However, she still felt weak all over her body. A second
earlier, she felt cold, and one more second later, she felt hot. Her head was swimming as well, and she felt like she
was walking on a cloud.
Brendan placed his hand on her forehead and a hint of surprise crossed his eyes. "You’re sick?"
"Maybe." She had not been feeling well from the moment she had confronted Mr. King Sr. She had just been
enduring it. After all, she could not be a drag to Brendan in a situation like that.
She mustered all her strength and stood up. Then, she asked, "What are you going to do about the Kings? Are you
really going to fight them?"
"It isn’t something you should be worried about. Let’s get in the car. We need to take you to the hospital right
away," Brendan said as he ordered Fionn to take them to the hospital.

By the time she woke up, she was already lying on a bed. As for Brendan, he was talking to the doctor on the side.
The reason she had fainted was that she had caught a cold yesterday. Not only that, but she had a weak immune
system, so she felt dizzy and she suddenly had a fever after taking the drug.
"Make sure she doesn't catch a cold in the next few days. Her immunity system is vulnerable, so she needs a lot of
rest," the doctor said.
"Okay," Brendan replied sternly. After saying that, he asked, "Is there anything she can’t eat?"
"For now, she should not have any spicy food or any sort of food with a strong flavor. You can give her a light diet.
Besides, she also needs to exercise more. Soon, she'll be fine."
'Thank you," Brendan said seriously. Deirdre was stunned.
She thought she was hallucinating when she heard Brendan say thank you to the doctor. Not only that, but he had
also asked the doctor if there was anything she could not eat. It seemed to her that Brendan had changed. He no
longer looked like himself.
Just as Deirdre lowered her head and immersed herself in her thoughts, Brendan turned his head to look at her.
When he realized that she had woken up, the worry on his face melted away and he asked, "Are you thirsty?"
Deirdre nodded. She was indeed thirsty.
Brendan handed a cup of water to her. She held it in her hand and finished it off in one go.
When she gave the cup back to Brendan, he asked, "Why did you go to Declan's room?"
His voice was calm. He was not scolding her or complaining. He was just asking what had happened back then.
Deirdre's face sank when she thought of Laura.
Regardless of whether Laura had a reason for doing that to her, from the moment she had chosen to trick her into
entering the room, she had become Gillian’s accomplice.
She did not feel too disappointed. She was just feeling sad for Declan.
Surprisingly, it was the woman he loved the most who had personally sent him to his death.

Deirdre snapped out of her thoughts and said, "I was just thinking about something else. Well, it was Laura who
tricked me into going there.”
Brendan was not surprised. He said, "Alright. You get some rest first. When Fionn comes here, he'll bring you dinner.
I need to go out to deal with something. I'll come back after dark."
"Okay," Deirdre replied. Then, she jerked her head up again and asked," Isn’t Fionn Declan's assistant? Shouldn't he
be taking care of him right now after what happened to him? Why would he be willing to be at your beck and call?"
'That's because Declan is in this hospital too," Brendan said. There was a hint of sarcasm in his voice. "After all, he’s
the main reason behind all this, so it’s normal for his assistant to come and take care of you."
Deirdre fell silent for a moment. "Are you still angry with Declan?"
"I don't know him."
After Brendan finished speaking, he told Deirdre to get some rest and headed out.
After a short while, Fionn arrived in the ward.
"Miss McKinnon, is there anything you want to eat? I’ll go get it for you."
