Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 86

Chapter 86 Just Bear the Child

To get to the bottom of it, the problem was still Brendan. Deirdre just had to ask Brendan a question, but she refused to.

If she couldn’t even choose not to get pregnant, she doubted what she was to him. A tool?

After an unknown period of time, Brendan woke up from his drowsy state. His head felt heavy and painful. Besides, the fever he was suffering from had not subsided. Instead, it had worsened.

The first thing Brendan did as he opened his eyes with a splitting headache was take a look at Deirdre, who was supposed to be lying beside him. When he didn’t see her, his heart skipped a beat, and he got up in a hurry. He glanced around the room and finally stopped when he saw Deirdre on the sofa.

Deirdre was crouching on the sofa while looking out the window, even though shel couldn’t see anything.

The warm light of the setting sun embraced the tiny, thin Deirdre, making her appear rather pitiful.

Brendan felt guilty. Now that he had woken up, he admitted that he had acted impulsively in the morning. He regretted treating Deirdre that way. Deirdre had, after all, just come out of the emergency room.

Brendan got out of bed, took the coat by the bedside, and put it on Deirdre.

“Aren’t you cold? Even if you aren’t willing to sleep with me on the bed, why didn’t you get a blanket for yourself?” As expected, Brendan felt the coldness on Deirdre’s hands upon touching them. He frowned and his headache worsened.

To Brendan’s surprise, Deirdre grabbed his hand when Brendan was about to release her.

At that moment, Brendan’s heart skipped a beat, and he heard Deirdre say, “Can I get Sam to get me the morning-after pill?”

The little warmth and joy in Brendan’s heart dissipated in an instant, replaced by an icy chill. It was as if he had been up in the clouds before being kicked down by

someone.

Suppressing his rage, Brendan asked, “Were you sitting here on the sofa just to wait

for me to wake up and ask me this question?”

Deirdre didn’t answer. She imploringly raised her head, tugged at Brendan’s finger, and pleaded. “Please allow Sam to get me the morning-after pill. Please, Brendan, it won’t be effective later.”

“It’s best if it’s ineffective!” Brendan suddenly shook off Deirdre’s hand. While half of his face was shrouded in the dark, he curled his lips into a sneer. “Taking that stuff hurts the body. Forget it. If you don’t get pregnant, fine. Otherwise, just bear the child.”

Deirdre felt her chest suddenly tighten when she heard Brendan say ‘bear the child’. She couldn’t believe that Brendan would say that. However, her inability to see Brendan’s facial expression made her feel even more desperate.

It was because Deirdre could hear in Brendan’s tone that he was not kidding.

“A-Are you kidding?”

Brendan reacted by clasping Deirdre’s chin with a hand. Maybe it was because of the fever, but his fingertips were rather warm. But it was those warm fingertips that sent an icy chill throughout Deirdre’s body.

“What do you think?” Brendan asked in reply. “Do you think that I’d lie to you? Deirdre McKinnon, don’t you ever forget that you owe me a child. You aborted our first child without my permission. Hence, you must bear another one for me.”

Thinking of a child’s chubby face made a gentle smile appear on Brendan’s face.

However, Deirdre felt a chill down her spine.

To think that Brendan was talking about their child and blaming Deirdre for having an abortion without his permission? He had also said casually that she should bear him. another one in that case?

Like a sword, Brendan’s words stabbed Deirdre’s heart and twisted. She burst into tears, crying over the pointlessness of that child’s death and the pain she had suffered every day in prison.

Deirdre had anticipated welcoming that child. Even when she had been beaten up and pushed down the stairs, she had tried her best to protect that child, hoping to start a new life with that child after she got out of prison.

Deirdre had wanted to forget the past and Brendan and had been determined to be a loving mother.

However, that pill had severed all her hopes and sent her to hell. Now that everything had faded, Brendan naturally blamed her for what he had done.

Did Brendan think he could turn over a new leaf by just demanding that Deirdre give birth to another child?
