Chapter 35 Take Me Away
“Deirdre! Deirdre!”
Brendan’s pupils constricted in fear. He tossed away the umbrella to pick up the woman and took her
back to the room without any concern about the mud on her body.’
On the other hand, Deirdre’s breathing was weakening with each passing second. Her entire body was
ice-cold, and the only body heat left was on her face. She was running a high fever.
“I won’t let anything bad happen to you!”
He clenched his teeth. Steven would have been astonished for sure if he was there, as Brendan was
speaking with a voice tainted with unprecedented anxiety.
“Do you think you can get away just by losing consciousness? Do you think that you can put an end to
everything just by doing this? That would be impossible! Deirdre , you’re mine for life and you’ll be
buried in my family’s tomb when you die! Don’t even think about extricating yourself. Don’t even think
about it!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe wrapped Deirdre in a blanket and increased the heater’s temperature before he called up a doctor.
He smoked a cigarette in agitation as he waited at the door. The doctor arrived and found Deirdre still
wearing
her wet clothes as soon as he entered the room. He frowned and said, “How could you leave her in her
wet clothes? It’s going to worsen her condition. You have to remove her drenched clothes.”
The doctor attempted to pull away the blanket but was caught off guard when Brendan grabbed his
wrist. Brendan said, his dark eyes filled with a foreboding . presence, “I’ll do it.” “Ah, ah… I shall excuse
myself for a moment then.” The doctor was stunned by Brendan’s gaze. He had not been planning on
removing Deirdre’s clothes initially. He wanted to examine the patient, yet he had not expected that
Brendan would actually react in that manner.
He was confused , as he saw that the woman’s face was disfigured, and there was no intact part left on
it. However, Brendan treated her as though she was his precious treasure, as if she would be taken
advantage of if someone else were to touch her.
The doctor left in disbelief. Brendan put out his cigarette and pulled the blanket away from Deirdre’s
body.
Her clothes were drenched and clung tightly to her body, while her skin was flushed from the high fever.
Her figure was not considered enticing, yet for some unknown reason, Brendan felt his throat tighten
with desire at the sight of her shriveled body.
He got rid of those unwanted thoughts and helped
Deirdre change into fresh clothes. When he was done, he was almost drenched in sweat.
“Done.”
He opened the door to let the doctor in. After the examination, it was too late for Deirdre to get an
intravenous drip, so she needed an injection.
The needle was very thick, and Deirdre was caught off guard when it pierced her arm. She furrowed
her eyebrows tightly from the pain, and her body began shaking uncontrollably.
The doctor noticed the change in Brendan’s gaze, so he hastily explained , “This is the only thing that
works on her now. Her body is too weak, and she was in the rain while having a fever. She’s going to
die, so the intravenous drip won’t work on her.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was rendered speechless upon saying that. ‘Why did you make her stay in the rain for so long if you
care about her?’
The doctor departed after leaving some medicine behind following the consultation. Brendan stood
before the bed and looked at the woman’s face, which was drained of blood. She looked just like a
ghastly pale porcelain doll that was about to break.
He stretched out a finger and could not help using it to sweep across the woman’s forehead. Deirdre
batted her eyelashes at the unexpected touch.
“Sterling…” she chanted. “Take me away…”
Coldness gathered in Brendan’s dark eyes, and the final tint of sympathy left in there vanished.
Deirdre lost track of time but found herself in bed when she woke up.
She felt the clothes on her body and realized that she was not wearing what she had on before. As for
the time, she could not tell if it was day or night, but she felt her throat hurt and she tried to get out of
bed to drink water with great difficulty. It was no surprise to her that she survived the ordeal. Brendan
would not let her die because he needed someone to blame for Charlene’s leg injury. He would never
leave that matter be. In the past, he had divorced her and kicked her out just because Charlene had
been aggrieved. He would keep her alive just for Charlene again.
