Chapter 389 What Did You Call Me?
Kyran’s hand trembled. “What did you call me?”
Something flickered in Deirdre’s eyes as she repeated, “Mr. Reed.”
Kyran took a deep breath to calm himself down and said, “Declan, can you give us a minute?”
Declan knew that he did not have any right to meddle with their affairs, so he did as he was told. Before he went
out, he closed the door.
“What did I do wrong, Deirdre?” asked Kyran.
Deirdre’s eyes turned red when she heard what Kyran said. It took her a lot of effort to suppress the urge to cry as
she took a few deep breaths.
He had not done anything wrong at all. The one who was at fault was her. He was out of her league. She should
know her place and keep her distance from him.

Nobody talked for a long while after she finished speaking. Just as she thought Kyran would not say anything, she
heard him trying to get off the bed.
She jerked her head up and was startled. She quickly dashed forward and said, “Kyran! Stop! You can’t get off the
bed yet. Your wound might open up!”
Kyran closed his eyes. After a short while, he opened them up again and asked, “I thought you didn’t care about me
anymore.”
Deirdre felt a pang in her heart.
“You know what, Deirdre? Rather than keeping your distance from me, you should have just killed me. instead.”
Deirdre shook her head. She couldn’t say a single thing right now.
Kyran held Deirdre’s hand tightly as if he was worried that she might run away. He grabbed his phone with the other
hand and typed, “Can you tell me what happened? Why do you have to do this to me?”
Deirdre felt raw in her throat. “I just feel that you have other better options.”
“Do you think I’m going to buy that?”
Deirdre lowered her head and said, “Don’t force me, Kyran. No one will like someone like me. I’m ugly and blind. It
wouldn’t even be far-fetched to call me a monster. Someone like me doesn’t deserve you at all. I know you’re
serious when you say you like me, but I can’t accept how other people look at me. Besides, I feel pressured
standing beside you.”
Kyran fell silent for a long while. Suddenly, he loosened his grip.
“So, this is what you want to tell me?”
“Yeah.”
Kyran released her hand and continued. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to put you under any pressure. I thought I was just
courting you normally…”
Deirdre couldn’t raise her head. “Even though you’re courting me normally, it can be bothersome sometimes. So, I

Kyran did not say anything for a long while. Just as Deirdre thought Kyran had fallen asleep, he said, “It’s getting
late. You should go back to the hotel and get some rest.”
Deirdre nodded blankly. “Okay.”
Declan was waiting for her outside when she came out of the ward. He did not ask what was going on. inside the
ward and said, “Let’s go back. It’s late.”
“Okay.”
Deirdre did not say anything throughout the entire journey. When she arrived in front of her room, she turned her
head around and said, “Mr. King, I might not be able to wake up early tomorrow, so I’m not going to the hospital
with you. I’ll give you a call after I’m ready.”
“Sure,” Declan replied readily. “Do you have my phone number? Do you want me to tell you, or do you want me to
help you key into your phone?”
“You can just tell me. I have a good memory.”
After memorizing Declan’s phone number, Deirdre closed the door, cutting off all the noises behind the door. When
everything went quiet, it became even more apparent how lonely she was.
Deirdre threw herself on the bed and curled into a fetal position as she placed her hand on her face.
