Chapter 498 He Isn’t Mute
“Miss McKinnon…” He pressed down the bitterness in his heart and forced a smile on his face. “What brought you
here today?”
“I’m here to thank you. When I was injured, if it hadn’t been for you riding your bike to the market every day and
buying me medicine, my hands wouldn’t have recovered so soon.”
Deirdre looked at Kyran. After receiving her signal, Kyran went to the car and took some gifts from the trunk.
The village head took them over and said embarrassingly, “I… I didn’t do much. It’s a bit inappropriate for me to
receive the gifts.”
“Well, although you didn’t do much, your son has provided us with a lot of help,” typed Kyran with a fake smile
tugging at the corner of his lips.
Even though he did not mention it explicitly, Hoyt knew what he was implying and lowered his head. Deirdre sensed

Hoyt walked over to the side. Just when Deirdre followed after him, Kyran grabbed her hand.
“I’ll be back soon.” Deirdre comforted him.
He let go of her hand but leaned closer and landed a light kiss on the corner of her lips as if he was telling Hoyt that
he was her boyfriend.
Hoyt was overwhelmed with sadness, but there was nothing he could do other than ignore it.
When Deirdre walked over, he forced a smile on his face and said, “Congratulations, Miss McKinnon. Mr. Reed is
such a wonderful man. I’m sure you two will have a happy life in the future.”
“Thank you,” Deirdre replied gently.
This was the first time Hoyt saw Deirdre smile genuinely. In the past few days, her smile seemed fake and forced. It
seemed to him that she had found the man that she loved in her life, and he was happy for her.
With that thought in his mind, he asked, “Are you leaving this village, Miss McKinnon?”
“Yeah.” Deirdre was surprised at Hoyt’s sixth sense. “I’ll be going to Germia soon. We might not be able to see each
other anymore, so I’m here to say goodbye to you. Thank you for taking care of me for the past few days.”
Even though Hoyt did not want her to go to Germia, he did not show it on his face. “Don’t mention it. Anyway, since
you’re going to Germia, please take care of yourself, Miss McKinnon. Remember to come back here and visit me if
you have the chance.”
“Okay.”
Kyran had been keeping an eye on Deirdre and Hoyt throughout their conversation. When he saw that they were
almost done with their conversation, he pulled a bank card out of his pocket and handed it to the village head.
“The password is 000000. There are 72,000 dollars in it.”
“What do you mean by this, Mr. Reed?” asked the village head. He did not know whether or not he should take the
card.
“Just take it,” typed Kyran, “This is what I promised to give you after you helped me to find Deirdre. You can use the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmoney to find a house and a girlfriend for your son. Try to get him married and have a
grandchild within a year.”
He needed to get rid of this threat within a year.
The village head had no other choice but to accept the card. He had a feeling that this was yet another mission
given to him by Kyran.
Before he could ask anything, Kyran had already walked over to Deirdre. “Are you done?”
“Yeah.” Deirdre waved her hand at Hoyt and said, “Mr. Leigh, we’ll be leaving now.”
“Okay. See you again, Miss McKinnon and Mr. Reed.”
Both of them got into their car and left. A bitter smile appeared on Hoyt’s face as he turned around. Just as he was
going back to his house, his mother said, “I thought Mr. Reed could talk? Did I remember it wrongly?”
Hoyt stopped in his tracks.
The village head also chimed in and said, “Yeah, I don’t know why he’s typing on his phone this time. Although he
didn’t speak much the last time, I heard his voice last time. This is weird.”
“Could it be that something happened to his vocal cords? That’s why he can’t speak now? But it doesn’t seem to me
that he’s sick.”
