Resent, Reject, Regret novel Chapter 375

Deirdre did not expect Kyran to hold the line for the entire night.

‘I hope I didn’t mumble anything stupid last night…’ she said inwardly.

“Are you awake?” Kyran’s voice wafted from the other end of the line.

“Yeah,” Deirdre replied embarrassingly. “I thought you would hang up the call after I fell asleep. Why didn’t you hang up then?”

“I couldn’t bring myself to leave you alone,” Kyran replied honestly. “You slept very soundly, and I felt you were very close to me. I was worried I might not have the chance anymore if I hung up the call.”

Deirdre was rendered speechless. Her face turned red with embarrassment, and she was tongue-tied.

At the same time, the doorbell rang.

“Are you awake, Miss McKinnon?”

Deirdre collected her hair behind her ears and went to open the door. When Declan saw Deirdre’s face, he was stunned.

“Are you sick, Miss McKinnon?”

“Huh? No, I’m not sick.” Deirdre blinked. “Why would you ask like that, Mr. King?”

“If you’re not sick, why is your face so red?”

Deirdre’s face turned even redder. She hadn’t hung up the call yet, so Kyran would certainly hear what they said.

“I just stayed for too long in the blanket…”

“Really?” Declan shrugged as if he believed her. “You shouldn’t cover your head with your blanket when sleeping. You might get suffocated.”

Deirdre became even more embarrassed and hung up the call without saying anything to Kyran.

“This is strange…” Declan said, his eyebrows tightly furrowed, “Before I came to your room, I went to check the surveillance camera. That man was wearing a hoodie and hid his face under a cap. We can’t see his face at all, but there’s a high chance that he’s coming after you.”

“Yeah…” Deirdre had already prepared herself, so she was not scared right now. She frowned lightly and said, “And it seems to me that he knows about the things between Brendan and me.”

“I’ll go check the cameras in the surroundings. At the same time, I’ll go through the people who came to Neve recently, but…” Declan said sternly, “Can you not tell Kyran anything about it first?”

Deirdre was stunned for a moment, and she nodded.

“Thank you. He shouldn’t get out of his bed yet, and I’m sure that he won’t stay still if he learns what has happened to you,” Declan said helplessly. “He’s very weak right now, so I don’t want him to risk himself.”

“I understand.”

Both of them walked out of the hotel together. They did not talk to each other throughout the journey as they were troubled by yesterday's incident.
