Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126 She Could Not Protect Anything

“Let’s go back.” She looked as if she was missing the puppy. “Bliss is at home all by itself. It’s going to grow anxious if I’m not around.”

Sam bought some dog food from a pet shop nearby. Deirdre fell in love with a set of dog clothing after feeling it with her hands and bought it as well.

The two of them arrived at the villa, and Deirdre made her way to the bedroom on the second floor eagerly.

“Bliss, Bliss.” She beamed widely, expecting the little puppy to come to her as soon as she opened the door, just like it behaved usually. However, not a sound could be heard at that very moment.

Deirdre’s smile faded slowly. She then opened the door and searched around the room. “Bliss? Bliss?”

Sam came upstairs upon hearing the commotion. “What’s going on, Ms. McKinnon?”

Deirdre’s face turned ghastly pale, but she forced herself to calm down. “Bliss is not responding to me. Sam, will you please help me look around and see if it’s hiding under the bed or has fallen asleep?”

Sam went searching for Bliss as well. Unfortunately, he could not find any trace of

Bliss in the bedroom.

“Ms. McKinnon, did you close the door before you left the house?”

Deirdre shook her head with red eyes. She remembered very well that she had not had the time to reach the door because she had been ordered by Brendan to go downstairs. Afterward, Sam had taken her out before she could head to the second

floor.

“Is it possible that Bliss got out accidentally when you left the room without you noticing it?” Sam comforted her by saying, “Don’t panic, Ms. McKinnon. The gate is locked, so it must be in the yard. It couldn’t have gotten outside.”

‘Couldn’t have gotten outside…’

Deirdre felt convinced at last. “Let’s look for Bliss in the yard.”

Sam nodded, and Deidre followed him downstairs. Sam headed to the front yard while she walked along the wall, heading to the backyard. She smelled the stench of blood after taking a few steps into the yard.

The faint stench floated in the air. It was not an intense smell, but it was nauseating.

Deirdre halted to a stop abruptly.

“Ms. McKinnon, why are you in the backyard? Be careful, there are many uneven spots…”

Sam stopped talking because he had just seen everything. He had seen the little puppy that was supposed to be whining in Deirdre’s arms lying in a pool of blood, torn from limb to limb.

Its tiny stomach had been cut open, and its intestines were exposed. Its head was almost fully decapitated from its body and it was only connected by a sliver of flesh. Its tongue stuck out of its mouth as well.

It had died a very tragic death.

Sam could not help holding his breath upon witnessing the scene despite

experiencing all sorts of situations in his life. It was a truly cruel scene to behold. The puppy had not been poisoned to death. It had been abused to death.

He looked at Deirdre, whose gaze was empty and whose expression was confused, and felt his heart wrench in pain.

“Sam.” Deirdre pushed herself close to the wall, her eyes widening. She felt faint and weak as she said, “Why am I smelling blood? What happened out here?”

Sam could not bring himself to say it, so he hesitated for a while before he said, “You smelled wrong, Ms. McKinnon. There’s nothing out here.”

“That’s impossible! My eyes are blind, but I have a sharp sense of smell!” Deirdre clutched his arm, and her lips were trembling when she suddenly said, “Is that Bliss? Is that Bliss?”

Her eyes were red with tears. She was holding back her tears, but she could not stop her nasal voice. She already knew the answer in her heart.

Sam could not help saying, “I’m sorry… Ms. Deirdre.”

Deirdre’s mind went blank. Black-and-white scenes of her past surged into her mind, and she felt as if she was back in prison, when her baby had still been alive in her belly a moment ago, yet a moment later, it had turned into a pile of bloody mush.

She knelt on the ground in dejection and clutched the weeds with all her might. Unfortunately, sadness still overwhelmed her and she let out an agonizing scream.

She had not managed to protect it. She could not protect anything!

The little puppy in her arms was dead. Even though she could not see its condition, she had figured most of it out based on Sam’s reaction.
