Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 91

Chapter 91 What if I Don’t Apologize

He had not been counting on Deirdre to cry in sympathy or have a sleepless night when he was sick, yet she had not even bothered to show any concern for him!

He wondered if she wanted him to die from the illness in his heart so she could be with Sterling without any care in the world.

‘How can this woman be so cruel!”

Charlene pushed away the long hair covering her neck when the timing was right. She attempted to comfort him pretentiously by saying, “Don’t blame Ms McKinnon, Brendan. Her body has always been weak, so I suppose she didn’t want to be infected. Besides, she wasn’t in a good mood yesterday.

Brendan narrowed his eyes at the sight of the marks on Charlene’s neck. “What happened to your neck?”

Charlene’s face turned pale abruptly, and she covered her neck with her long hair once again. “It’s… It’s nothing…”

“Do you really want me to look into this?”

Charlene bit her lower lip. “It’s really nothing. Ms. McKinnon was in a bad mood, so it was only normal that she took it out on me. It’s fine. Plus, I was very lucky that Sam showed up in a timely manner to stop Ms. McKinnon. So… It’s really nothing…”

Charlene claimed that it was fine, but he saw the terror and anxiety in her eyes that she could not conceal.

Brendan’s expression turned unpleasant, and he was furious. He realized that he had spoiled Deirdre so much that she had walked all over Charlene!

He pulled away the blanket and put on his shoes.

Charlene hastily said, “Where are you going, Brendan? Are you going to look for Ms. McKinnon? I’m fine, really. I’m scared that Ms. McKinnon might do something else next time if she is provoked…”

“How dare she!” Brendan’s dark eyes were sharp as knives. “How dare she?”

He walked outside after opening the door and asked Sam, “Where is Deirdre’s room?”

Sam was stunned for a moment when he saw Brendan’s angry expression, yet he did not have the courage to delay him. “It’s the room at the end of the corridor.”

Deirdre was still resting on the bed when Brendan kicked the door.

She knew that she had not slept for a long time, perhaps not even half an hour. She felt an intense headache when she was awakened by the commotion.

Before she could react to the situation, her arm was grabbed by Brendan, who stood. right in front of her face angrily and questioned her through tightly-clenched teeth.

“Deirdre, who gave you the right to hurt Charlene! Do you know how severely injured. her neck is!”

Deirdre was stunned. The first thought that popped into her mind was that Brendan was awake. The second thought was, ‘Ah, so it turns out that he’s here on a punitive expedition for her crime.’

He seemed to be very eager, as he had just awakened yet he had come to scold her without resting. He did not manage to see that there was a palm mark on her face as a result of Charlene’s slap.

“How severe is it?”

Brendan paused for a moment, as he had not expected that Deirdre would ask this. question. His eyes were burning with fury when he said, “There were bruises covering her neck. You’re really malicious, Deirdre! You bullied Charlene because she’s kind and gentle, huh! You’re disgusting!”

Deirdre chuckled and brandished her face to show Brendan. “Would you believe me if I told you that Charlene hit me first? Why can’t I defend myself?”

The palm print on the woman’s face looked rather serious indeed. Brendan felt a knot in the pit of his stomach, but at the thought of what Deirdre had done, his gaze turned icy and he exerted more strength as he held Deirdre’s wrist.

“So you tried to kill her because she hit you? Deirdre, it seems that you still don’t know your place!” He pulled her off the bed and said in contempt, “Who do you think you are? You’re just a toy for pleasure! Charlene could even kill you, let alone hit you, and you’d still not be allowed to fight back! Go and apologize to Charlene at once!”

His voice was a mix of anger and personal feelings, and Deirdre trembled in fear upon hearing it.

She fell to the ground, and her face turned ghastly pale from the pain. “What if I don’t apologize?”
