Chapter 440 Once a Married Couple, Always a Married Couple

Deirdre was incredulous while Madame Brighthall hastily said, “I know! I know that this request is quite difficult for you, but I don’t know what else to do anymore. He is acting very indifferent toward the

surgery. If you can see him, perhaps you can set his mind at ease so that he can face the surgery with a stable mind. Will you do it? I’m begging you!”

Deirdre was confused by Madame Brighthall’s arduous pleading. “Why do you think that my act of

meeting me will give him peace of mind, Madame Brighthall?”

Madame Brighthall said with a bitter smile, “That’s because he has been tracking your whereabouts all this time.”

Deirdre was stunned.

Madame Brigthhall continued. “Brendan knows that you’re alive.

“He knows of the places that you’ve been to as well. However, it is very apparent that he has yet to meet you, and that is why he has given up all hope. Yet, this surgery is crucial. As a mother, I can’t do anything while my son doesn’t care about his survivability. He doesn’t have any desire to live at all.”

At that moment, Deirdre was overwhelmed with complicated emotions and felt suffocated. She was still terrified to meet Brendan.

“I’m sorry.” Deirdre lowered her gaze. “I can’t help you, Madame Brighthall.”

Madame Brighthall’s eyes reddened with tears. “Miss McKinnon! I know that Brendan did many. shameless things to you in the past. However, once a married couple, always a married couple. He’s

going to die. Can’t you even fulfill his wish?”

“Once a married couple, always a married couple…” Deirdre chanted the phrase and found it cynical yet amusing.

If Brendan could understand the meaning of this phrase first, she would have a life beyond this.

He did not mention ‘once a married couple, always a married couple” when he took her child cruelly.

“Brendan’s mother is still alive, at the very least.”

Deirdre blurted out the remark calmly.

Madame Brighthall was stunned.

Deirdre continued with a nonchalant expression. “Meanwhile, my mother committed suicide when I was forced to go to prison. I was so close to her, but I didn’t even manage to see her one last time. Brendan’s mother is pleading to fulfill his wish. What about me? Where is my mother?”

Madame Brighthall’s face turned ghastly pale.

Deirdre took a deep breath and raised her head-her eyes were so empty that it was painful to look.” Madame Brighthall, he and I are bound by too many grudges. It’s already merciful of me not to gloat. about his misfortune at this very moment. It would be impossible for me to go and see him.”

Madame Brighthall had never imagined that this story existed between Deirdre and Brendan. Her eyes. were glistening with tears while her expression was one of disappointment and hopelessness.

“I’m sorry, Miss McKinnon. I’ve been too pushy.”

Deirdre calmed herself but did not speak.

Madame Brighthall left, holding on to the wall. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Madame.”

Deirdre suddenly spoke.

Madame Brighthall turned around in surprise while Deirdre said, “Please don’t tell Brendan that I’m in the hospital. Let me live out the rest of my life in peace for the sake of our past.”

Deirdre’s eyes exuded an unprecedented gloominess, and Madame Brighthall felt her heart wrench in pain. She suddenly came to understand her son’s feelings and why he would go berserk on the day of Deirdre’s accident.

It was much more difficult to make peace with this emotion than regret. It would be very hard for one to turn around when he or she had moved on.

“Sure, I promise.”

Deirdre’s gaze was gentle. Even though there were still hideous scars on her face, it looked as if her eyes. were as gentle as four years ago. “Thank you.”

Madame Brighthall’s footsteps moved further and further away.

Deirdre returned to the room soon afterward. She felt suffocated by the heavy feeling in her chest.

She breathed a few times deeply to calm herself, placed the basin in her hands down, and walked to the bed. “Are you awake, Kyran?”
