Chapter 654 I Have Given You What You Wanted
"The door is not locked."
Deirdre pushed the door in and heard the sound of Brendan coughing more clearly.
Brendan didn't know it was Deirdre who knocked on the door, so he demanded after a moment, "Sam, go get me a
glass of water."
Deirdre turned and went downstairs without much thought.
There wasn't any hot water, so Deirdre got a kettle to boil some hot water. When she went back to Brendan, she
brought along a first-aid box.
When Brendan stood up to take the glass of water, he saw a woman's slender and fair fingers and looked up to the
owner.
"Why is it you?" Brendan took a deep breath before realizing that because Deirdre was sleeping in the mansion
today, Sam should have left by now.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDeirdre didn’t reply to Brendan but asked as she put the first-aid box on the bedside table, "Where's the coughing
medicine?"
Brendan didn't want to answer. He merely drank half a glass of water and lay back on the bed. "Get out."
Deirdre pursed her lips. "Brendan Brighthall, it's not like you to lose your temper. If you cough so intensely like this
and refuse to take medicine, you'll have to go to the hospital."
Following that, she kept silent for two seconds and suggested, "Would you like me to call Madame Brighthall?"
Madame Brighthall was very sensitive about Brendan's health-just a call, and Brendan would be forced to go to the
hospital.
Upon hearing it, Brendan finally responded. He opened his eyes and stared at Deirdre for a while as if trying to see
her through before he said, "What are you thinking about?"
Deirdre repeated with downcast eyes, "Where is the coughing medicine?"
"Stop looking. They have all expired."
"Expired?" Deirdre was startled. "How could they expire?"
"How could they not have expired?" Brendan smirked. "You were the one who has been managing this first-aid box
and bought all those medicines. Since you have left, no one else is taking care of it anymore. Hence, those
medicines would definitely expire."
,Deirdre's eyes darkened for a moment, and she said, "Then I'll call Sam to get some medicines."
"Deirdre McKinnon, what are you thinking, actually?" Brendan had completely lost his patience. After a low-pitched
wheezing sound, he said," We're divorced, aren't we? I have given you what you wanted. What else is there to
pretend? Now treat me like a stranger and don't give me—"
Deirdre couldn't hear what Brendan was trying to say toward the end because his voice was getting weaker and
vague.
Because she didn’t know what was happening, she frowned tightly and bent down. "What are you saying?"
The man no longer said anything. Deirdre only heard the sounds of muffled cough and shortness of breath.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDeirdre sensed something was wrong with Brendan when she got close to him. He was like a steady stream of hot
fireballs. Trembling, she put her hand on Brendan's forehead.
She withdrew her hand the next second because she was shocked.
It was very hot.
No wonder the first thing he did when he returned was to go upstairs to rest. No wonder he was in a bad mood.
With such a high fever, it was difficult for him to maintain his sanity.
He hadn’t gotten better at all. Thus, he forcibly requested to be discharged from the hospital just to try his best to
distance himself from her?
Deirdre thought she should be glad because they were no longer related. However, she couldn't lift the corners of
her mouth at all. Instead, her heart was beating rapidly, feeling nervous that something would happen to Brendan.
She took out her phone. She was so panicked that she couldn’t dial the number steadily. When she finally managed
to calm herself, she dialed Sam's number.
Sam accepted the call very quickly. "Miss McKinnon?"
Deirdre took a deep breath. "It's me Sam. Do c-come back quickly. Brendan has a high fever. It's very serious."
