Chapter 218 Don’t Ever Attempt Suicide Regardless
‘She must live.”
He would regret it very much if she were to die. He would experience an emotional breakdown and he
would be utterly heartbroken.
However, perhaps he and Deirdre would have died together that rainy night had the Land Rover not
come to their rescue in a timely manner.
‘Why was I so reckless at the time?”
After turning off the hot water, Brendan wiped his face and walked out of the shower, He found Deirdre
alone in the room, her breathing even. She was still chanting Ophelia’s name even in her dreams.
Brendan was planning on leaving when he heard Deirdre say in a weak voice, “Live, Brendan. You
must live
His mind began burning with an image all of a sudden at that moment.
The woman was standing with her back facing him and saying through clenched teeth something like
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthis in the blazing hot fire.
“Live, Brendan. You must live.”
Brendan felt like his body was brought back in time for a brief moment. He furrowed his eyebrows,
finding this idea amusing.
‘Why do I think that the woman who saved me is Deirdre just because they look similar? 1
‘How can that be possible? It was Charlene who was right by my side from the start to the very end.”
Deirdre’s fever had only broken for three days when she woke up from a nightmare. She was breathing
heavily, feeling extremely anxious, and she discovered that someone was holding her hand.
Their hands were wide and huge, so it could not be anybody other than Brendan.
She was distracted for a moment before she calmed down and realized that her back was drenched in
cold sweat.
‘So I’m still alive, and so is everybody else.”
Feeling intense pain in her throat, she stretched out her hand in preparation to feel around for a cup.
Brendan woke up and felt relieved by the sight of the energetic Deirdre. He stuffed a glass of water into
her hand,
Deirdre said ‘thank you’ and lowered her head to drink the water.
When she was done, Brendan took the glass away from her. Deirdre rested for a moment before she
said, “Can I ask why you saved me? Both of us could have died there.”
“I did it instinctively.” Brendan could not explain it any other way. It was because not even he could
figure. out why he had done that.
He dismissed the only idea that had occurred to him.
He could only love Charlene, as she was the woman who had risked her life to save him from the fire
with all her might.
1 can only hope that nothing bad will happen to you, but don’t run away without informing me again.”
He thought about that night. ‘Had the heavy rain not stopped the last bus from arriving at the station, I
wouldn’t have been able to see her again, right?”
Deirdre was stunned. She was about to apologize when Brendan caught her off guard by saying. “The
woman was sent to me as a gift by a collaborating partner who was trying to gain an advantage. She

it upon yourself to reject the woman on my behalf if something like that happens again. I’m not
interested in any other woman.”
Upon saying that, Brendan realized that his explanation was excessive and it seemed as if he was
trying. to prove to his wife that he was not a cheating husband.
Deirdre was slow to respond to his explanation but she nodded. Brendan added, “Since you survived
this. great ordeal, promise me, Deirdre. Promise that you will never commit suicide regardless.”
“Sure,” Deirdre said. “I promise.”
Deirdre found out later on that she had been unconscious for three full days. On the other hand,
Brendan’s site inspection had been delayed during the past three days, and they would only depart for
Neve a few days later.
Deirdre calculated and realized that tomorrow morning would be the day of her meeting with Ophelia.
She had assumed that there was still time in the beginning but she had not expected that time to pass
so quickly. Deidre bit her lower lip anxiously. She returned to the room at night and felt her way to the
closet, feeling each of the clothes hanging inside the closet meticulously.
She could not see the color, so she could only determine the type of outfit and chose the long dress
