Chapter 170 You Should Be Comforting Yourself
Brendan dialed the phone number, and when the call was connected, he passed the phone to Deirdre.
The doctor sounded very stable as he said, “Miss McKinnon, I understand how eager you are to see your mother. However, because your mother’s heart issue is at a critical junction, it’s not advisable for her to see you. If meeting you affects her emotions, our hard work all this while will be in vain.”
“T-Then…” Deirdre asked while biting her lip, “When can I see my mother?”
“It won’t take long, Miss McKinnon. Provided that her situation gets better, probably in about a few months. It’d be good for you to see your mother.”
“Alright.”
After ending the phone call, Deirdre was still in a daze. She had to wait for several months. When every moment of her life was like a year, could she really survive through a few months?

When Brendan recollected himself, he frowned again. “Do you need another form of compensation?”
Another form of compensation? When Deirdre thought about it, she realized that she didn’t.
Perhaps she needed one thing-she wanted to leave. However, she knew clearly that if she were to voice this desire, Brendan would not be happy and surely wouldn’t fulfill her request.
“No.” Deirdre replied in a raspy voice, “I don’t think so.”
For a moment, Brendan had a hint of sympathy on his face. But when he spoke, he said nonchalantly, You may think about it and tell me when you figure it out.”
“Okay.”
Deirdre looked blank as she paced toward the stairs, staggering away from Brendan and going up to her own room step by step.
How much she had hoped that the truth behind Bliss’s death would be revealed so that the real murderer would pay the price… However, she now deeply understood how naive her thoughts had been.
Charlene’s position in Brendan’s heart was unshakable. He would not do anything. In fact, he was even more reluctant to punish Charlene.
Deirdre buried her head in the pillow, and the pillow was soon soaked with tears.
I’m sorry, Bliss. I have been completely incompetent.”
Overwhelmed by these emotions, Deirdre fell into a deep slumber. When she woke up, she couldn’t tell what time it was. She only knew that Sam was already there when she got downstairs.
“Miss McKinnon.” Sam strode toward Deirdre. He had seen Brendan just got out this morning, which meant that Brendan had been there yesterday evening.
“How’s it going? Did you show the document to Mr. Brighthall?”
Upon hearing Sam’s question, Deirdre felt heartache. Sam had been working hard to gather enough evidence regarding this matter. He must have thought that the matter would be resolved with just a few

In return, Deirdre had merely received the promise of compensation in a condescending tone.
“How’s it going?” Upon seeing Deirdre remain silent for some time, Sam vaguely guessed something. ” Miss McKinney found herself a good excuse, didn’t she?”
“No.” Deirdre smiled wryly. In fact, it wasn’t a good excuse. It was a lame excuse that no one would believe.
“Anyway, this matter is over.” Deirdre felt sorry for Sam. “I’m sorry, Sam. I was not considerate enough. I let your hard work go to waste.”
“No worries, McKinnon. You shouldn’t apologize to me.” While feeling surprised, Sam stared closely at Deirdre’s face and sympathized with her. “Aren’t you the one who’s been hurt the most?”
Sam added, “I just found something by accident and dug it out. But you should have placed a lot more hope in it, as the one who needs comfort the most is you.”
