'I don’t owe you anything, and you shouldn't come to me either...'
Brendan never thought that a sentence from him like that would deal such a blow to him.
His eyes reddened as he said, "What if I say... What if I say that I didn't know anything about what happened to you
in prison?"
"What?" Deirdre frowned blankly, and it took a long time before she could speak. "Brendan, I don’t know why you
are asking such a question. But even if you didn't know, you can't change the fact. You were the one who forced me
to prison and be the scapegoat. You also failed to protect my mother and made me an orphan in my early 20s."
Deirdre counted his faults and mistakes and said calmly, "So, even if you didn't know about it, you can never be
innocent."
’Yes." Brendan felt his heart was about to be torn apart. He smiled and nodded. "I am sorry."
Deirdre didn't say anything else but took a deep breath. "Since you have woken up, and it's late now, I should get
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtgoing."
"Okay."
Deirdre walked out. The moment she stepped out of the door, Brendan suddenly called her name.
"Deirdre McKinnon!"
Her body stiffened.
"I love you."
The door closed with a click. There was a crowd of people outside, and their voices as they talked were ringing in
Deirdre's ears as she walked in the direction of the elevator, according to her memory.
Halfway through, Sam came over. "Miss McKinnon!"
Deirdre stopped, and Sam got before her.
When Sam saw her face, he was startled. "Miss McKinnon, why are you crying?"
Crying?
Did she?
Deirdre only felt a warm stream running down the corners of her eyes before it cooled down extremely quickly. She
stretched out her hand to rub it, and her fingertips were really wet.
She didn't feel reluctant or excited. She was just feeling sad.
It was six years ago--no, to be exact, it was 12 years ago. Deirdre had been anticipating hearing the three words so
much that she always looked forward to this relationship. However, what did she get in exchange for her love? 2
Now that Brendan had told her he loved her, she no longer had feelings for him. In fact, she had to rely on Kyran so
that she could love again.
Therefore, she could no longer respond and was unable to reciprocate Brendan's love anymore.
"The wind was so strong that some sand got into my eyes."
"The wind was strong?"
Sam was confused as he looked at the corridor surrounded by walls.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDeirdre didn't want to dwell on it and asked, "Did you drive here?"
'Yes, let me send you."
Deirdre followed Sam's figure to the car.
When they got to the airport, Sam couldn’t help but ask, "Is this our last meeting?"
While suppressing his reluctance, Sam said happily before Deirdre could reply, "We men don't say anything
hypocritical. Since you are determined to let go of the past, you should start well and live a new life! If you have any
difficulties, just call me anytime. I’ll offer you any help, including your finances!"
Deirdre smiled even though she knew it was impossible to call Sam again.
Since she was determined to let go of the past, she would forget everything about Brendan, including the
memories. If she was to go to Germia, she would have no chance to meet Sam again.
But she would remember Sam’s kindness in her heart regardless.
‘Yes, you too." Deirdre smiled, "At this age, don’t focus only on your career. You should also go and get yourself a
partner."
Sam scratched his head smilingly but didn't say anything. He might need a long time before he could consider
falling in love again.
