Chapter 207 Are You Getting Rid of Me Because of Deirdre?

“No, of course not.” Brendan did his best to deny it. ‘Hate Charlene? That would be impossible, of course. Charlene is my savior, so I would never feel that way for her just because of that particular reason.‘

Charlene’s expression relaxed slightly when she noticed how determined Brendan was about denying it . She sat closer to him and said, “Why did you leave so suddenly then? Even if there is something impo rtant to do at the company, you still need to prioritize your health over anything else, okay?”

“Hmm,” Brendan replied nonchalantly, yet his gaze was constantly sweeping over the shut door.

Charlene took a glance at the door as well. She felt her heart racing but forced a chuckle. “What are yo u looking at… Brendan? Do you need something?”

Brendan got straight to the point. “Where’s Deidre? Why hasn’t she returned after such a long time? W asn’t she supposed to fetch me water?”

Charlene’s smile froze on her face. “Ms. McKinnon… passed me the glass when she saw me. I suppose she wanted to give us some privacy, which is why she hasn’t come here.” 2

Brendan felt a knot in the pit of his stomach yet had no idea how to vent his anger because that was jus t

“It’s cold outside, but there’s heating in the house. I’ll go and look for her.” Brendan removed the blanke t and was about to get up with the transfusion fluid in his hand.

Charlene’s face turned pale abruptly, and her eyes widened in incredulousness. “Brendan…”

Her voice was shaky, and she was holding back her displeasure. “You’re going to get blood backflow if you keep moving like this. Ms. McKinnon is no fool. She knows how to dress warmer if she’s cold.”

“This is her room, where all her clothes are kept. She has nowhere else to go.”

Brendan got out of the room, holding the transfusion fluid, and found the woman downstairs. She was s itting on the sofa in a daze, and the sight of her tiny, emaciated body was pitiful.

She looked like a homeless child.

Brendan clenched his teeth tightly and felt like he was about to lose his temper. However, he had no idea why he felt that w dull her existence and neglect her own needs. ‘Why would I think that Deirdre was a sinister, unscrupulo

“As for Ms. McKinnon, isn’t she fine by herself downstairs? You can see her at any time if you want but I

don’t live here.”

Charlene was right. However, the more Brendan looked at Deirdre, the lonelier he found her. He was the

He furrowed his eyebrows. “You should go home, Charlene.”

Charlene was astonished. “What are you talking about, Brendan… Are you getting rid of me because of Deirdre? Tell me! Have you fallen for Deirdre?”

She was extremely anxious. She waited for Brendan’s denial eagerly for a long time, only to hear his sile
