Resent, Reject, Regret novel Chapter 386

In the end, the doctor and Freya left. After the door was closed, Kyran apologized to Deirdre, “I’m sorry for using your name like that to reject her.”

Deirdre still couldn’t quite return to her senses. She felt a little uncomfortable when Kyran was being so polite with her. “It’s okay.”

“It didn’t do me any harm anyway,” she said. “But she’s a nurse. Who’s going to take care of you after rejecting her and the help from the caretaker?”

Kyran was stunned for a moment and asked, “Can I ask you a favor, Deirdre?”

“What is it?”

“Can you help me wash my body?”

Deirdre’s face turned red for a moment before turning pale after hearing his question. She bit her lower lips tightly and said, “I… I don’t think I can help you anyway. I messed it up when I tried to help you last time. If I hurt you again, I won’t be able to forgive myself.”

“I’m sure you’ll be alright this time,” typed Kyran. “No one else in this world would make me feel relieved more than you. I’m sure you’ll do a great job this time. I was injured yesterday because I wasn't used to it. I promise you that it will be different this time. Or do you want me to get taken advantage of by that nurse?”

It went without saying that was the last thing Deirdre wanted to happen. She fell into deep contemplation but felt that she needed to do something for Kyran. Thus, she went to get a bowl of warm water and helped him take off his clothes.

She tried to stop herself from thinking too much and asked, “Where is the wound? I’ll try my best not to touch it later.”

“It’s on my chest. But most of my torso has been bandaged, so you just need to help me wipe my arms and lower body.”

Listening to the voice from the phone, Deirdre was momentarily stunned, and her face turned burning red with embarrassment.

‘Lower body?’

Deirdre did not know why, but she felt it weird to hear the mechanical voice mention that word.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. Stretch your arms. I’m going to start from your arm first.”

When she was helping him take his pants off, Deirdre couldn’t help herself but touch his abdomen. When she touched the bandage, she was dumbfounded.

‘Don’t they only operate on the chest for congenital heart disease? Why is his abdomen bandaged as well?’

As if he could see through her mind, Kyran explained, “The doctor was worried that the wound might tear open again, so he bandaged my entire upper body.”

Deirdre’s face was so red that it looked just like a tomato right now. After she finished cleaning his body, she picked up his patient’s clothes and went out.

If she stayed any longer in the ward, she might want to find a hole and bury herself in it.

‘He wouldn’t think that I’m some kind of thirsty woman for touching that place, right?’

She patted her cheek to drive those thoughts out of her head. When she was going to ask a nurse about the location of the cloth washing machine, she heard a woman shouting at the top of her lungs.

“Are you serious? Mr. Reed has a girlfriend? If he has a girlfriend, then why hasn’t she come to visit him? Does she not know that he’s hospitalized?”

“She’s here,” Freya said through her gritted teeth. “Do you know who his girlfriend is? His girlfriend is that blind woman who often comes to the hospital.”

“Blind woman?” The woman thought for a while and was stunned upon realizing something. “That ugly woman whose face is disfigured?”

“Yes!”

“What? What’s wrong with handsome men these days? Even a dog would run away from her. Did she put a curse on Mr. Reed or what?”
