Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 61

Chapter 61 You Cannot Wake up a Person Who Is Pretending to Be Asleep

In truth, she minded that very much, especially when she woke up that morning to the man’s hug and smelled his faint body scent. She could not help thinking about the time when they had been married.

She remembered the wonderful process infuriating her even more. She hated Brendan for always being in control and calling the shots, yet he had chosen to annoy her in this manner.

Brendan was actually not infuriated. He turned over and got out of bed. Just as Deirdre thought she could finally feel relieved, Brendan suddenly removed her

blanket and began to undress her without any hesitation.

Deirdre was startled by the unexpected coldness on her body. She covered her chest with all her might and said, “What are you doing, Brendan!”

‘Why won’t he let me off when I’m already in this state? Does he want me to break my ribs again so he can be pleased?!’

“No! Don’t! Don’t molest me!” Deirdre’s face turned ghastly pale, and the huge movements put her in so much pain that she teared up.

Brendan immediately pinned down her arms after noticing that her body was convulsing in pain. “Have you lost your mind! Why are you still moving frantically in your current state? Who’s molesting you, huh? I’m only trying to give you a sponge bath!”

‘Sponge bath?’

Deirdre was naked. She was aware of the state of her body despite her blindness, and her face flushed scarlet in embarrassment.

“You don’t need to!” she said. “Even if I need one, I’m certain there are professional caregivers to do it. If that doesn’t work, you can call in a nurse to do it for me. I don’t want you to do it!”

“How are you going to get a caregiver now? Besides, do you think that the nurses are free to do that?”

Brendan was displeased. In reality, he did not wish to let others see Deirdre’s body.

not even a woman.

“Do you think that I’m doing this willingly? My hands are meant to sign contracts worth millions, not to serve you. Plus, is there any part of your body that I haven’t seen or touched yet?”

Deirdre’s lips were trembling, and she was so aggrieved that she did not want to speak.

Brendan scooped up a wet towel and sponged her cautiously. Deirdre was high- strung throughout the process and covered herself as soon as it ended.

Deirdre was relieved, and so was Brendan.

He could not figure out why he still felt uncontrollable libido after seeing her body, despite her emaciated look.

Suppressing his surging impulse, Brenda helped Deirdre change into fresh hospital attire and he said after he was done, “I’ve already found your assailant. The police have confirmed the whereabouts of the person who poisoned you, so I believe you will receive an explanation in two days if everything goes smoothly.”

Deirdre did not need an explanation, but she felt her heart racing when she heard that the assailant had already been found. She was very convinced that Charlene was the culprit, so she could not help asking, “Who’s the assailant?”

“A company assistant.” Brendan expressed his contempt. “Charlene accidentally killed someone in a car crash, and the assistant is that victim’s university mate. Her motive was to seek revenge on behalf of her deceased friend.”

“An assistant?” Deirdre shut her eyes in despair. “How could you believe such a crude lie?”

“What do you mean?” Brendan looked at Deirdre in a displeased manner. “Are you going to wrongly accuse Charlene again? Or are you only satisfied when you insist on the answer being Charlene putting you in harm’s way?”

‘You cannot wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep. Could Brendan really believe that the assistant would destroy her future for a university mate? In other words, even if they had such a close friendship that she would avenge the deceased, why would she choose to silence me with poison?

‘Wouldn’t it be better to just kill me?”
