NovelEnglishChapter 209 Why Are You Still Resisting Me
On the other hand, he had compelled her to become so non–confrontational and submissive.
Deirdre was about to say something when Dr. Ginger returned from outside. He was stunned for a
moment when he found Brendan sitting on the sofa with the transfusion fluid in his hand. “Mr.
Brighthall, weren’t you undergoing transfusion on the second floor? Why did you get downstairs so
suddenly?”
Then, he noticed the blood backflow in Brendan’s transfusion line and felt his heart racing. He ran over
and said, “Why is there so much blood backflow in the transfusion line? You shouldn’t be tormenting
yourself no matter how strong your body is. The back of your hand is really swollen, and the transfusion
site is blocked. Don’t you want to get better?”
Dr. Ginger was furious yet speechless, as he had never encountered a trouble–making patient like
Brendan. In comparison, Deirdre was a much more obedient patient.
“We’re going to set up the transfusion line on your other hand this time. However, don’t move about like

Dr. Ginger set up a new line and managed the wound in the previous spot. Deirdre could not see, so
she could only ask with an anxious expression, “Is the blood backflow very serious?”
“Yes, of course. Half of the line is full of blood!” Dr. Ginger could not help nagging. “Why did you come
downstairs when you were fine upstairs, Mr. Brighthall? Even if you really had something important to
do, you should have let Ms. McKinnon carry the fluid bottle. You were moving so much that the needle
shifted. Aren’t you in pain?”
Brendan parted his thin lips and answered calmly, “It’s because Deirdre was downstairs.”
“Me?” Deirdre was stunned.
Brendan said, “You didn’t come upstairs for a long time, and there’s no heating downstairs. I was
worried that you might be cold, so I had to come downstairs to get you, of course.”
“I was downstairs because…” Deirdre’s voice halted to a stop, and her mind went blank.
‘Why does Brendan care about me?
‘Is he really serious about returning to the past?”
“There is no reason for you to stay downstairs.” Brendan stared at his hands and said in a resentful
tone, My only uninjured hand is now swollen, and it is all because of you.”
Dr. Ginger raised his head to take a glance at Brendan and thought about how shameless Brendan’s
remark was.
Deirdre took it seriously and lowered her head in guilt. “I’m sorry.”
“Your apology can’t cure my hands. You’ll be in charge of keeping me company and taking care of my
daily needs during my recovery period. Will that be alright?”
Dr. Ginger was dumbstruck with bewilderment. ‘You’re asking a blind woman to take care of a healthy
man’s day–to–day activities? It’d be considered courteous of me to call you shameless. You’re a
soulless
beast!‘ 1-
“Sure.”
Deirdre furrowed her eyebrows deeply and accepted the task obediently.
In the next two days, Brendan behaved as if his hands were broken, and Deirdre had to spoon–feed

during meals.
“It’s too hot. Blow on it.”
Brendan ordered her. Deirdre found it strange because the soup was obviously lukewarm but she still
blew on it cautiously before she brought the spoon closer to Brendan.
Brendan made Deirdre take off his clothes and strip him down during bath time.
Deirdre could not see but she kept her eyes tightly shut. She removed his clothes with shaky fingers
and felt as if her arms were on fire when she touched his blazing hot, strong muscles. She pulled back
her arms in a haste.
“It’s done.”
Brendan cracked a smirk uncontrollably and stepped into the bathtub as he looked at her flushed ears.
“I shall leave if there’s nothing else.”
“Hold on.” Brendan sat in the bathtub. “Get me the shower gel behind me.”
Deirdre felt for the bottle and stretched out her arm to pass the bottle to Brendan. A huge hand grabbed
her wrist abruptly, and by the time she reacted to the situation, she was already falling into the warm
water, her upper body leaning right on the man’s chest.
Shocked, she tried to get away in a haste, yet Brendan wrapped her in his arms. “Why are you still
resisting me? What have I done that you can’t forgive me for?”
