NovelAppChapter 123 Would You Believe Me if I Told You Then
Deirdre did not notice when Bliss got out of the box and moved close to her, whining to lick her fingers.
Her throat hurt so much that she could not speak, so she could only hold Bliss in her arms and bite her
lower lip tightly to stop her body from shaking.
‘This is pure agony. When will days like this one end?’
She suddenly envied Bliss. She envied the dog because someone would hold it and give it warmth
when it whined, yet she had nothing.
She walked out of the bathroom after cleaning up, but the door of the bedroom was open. Before
Deirdre could respond to the situation, she was pinned against the wall. The pain she felt aside, she
could not help shivering from the cold radiating from the wall.
“I’ve had enough of your act!” Brendan’s face was icy, and he was extremely furious. ” What the heck is
wrong with you today? Did you not take my warning seriously? Who were you trying to convince that
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou were disgusted by assuming that agonized expression after tasting Charlene’s cooking?”
‘Act?’
It was fortunate that Deirdre was already used to being hurt by Brendan, so his words had no effect on
her anymore. She sneered and said, “I wasn’t trying to convince anyone.”
Her voice was ineffably hoarse, and her mouth was swollen. Brendan was stunned for a moment.
Soon, he sniggered. “Deirdre, you seem like you were prepared for this. You mutilated yourself when
you hid in the bathroom earlier, right? You turned your voice hoarse too. How are you planning to vilify
Charlene this time?”
Deirdre was stunned, and she felt her heart wrench in pain. It was not intense pain, as she was used to
Brendan’s treatment so much that she was numb to it.
“That is not my intention.” She made up an excuse. “I’m allergic.”
“Allergic?”
“Hmm, I’m allergic to eggplant.” Deirdre lowered her gaze. It would be fine for her to make up a lie
since Brendan had never cared about her. He would not know about that anyway.
Brendan did not object. He only furrowed his eyebrows. “Why didn’t you say so
earlier?”
Deirdre chuckled in a self-mocking manner. “Would you have believed me if I had told you?”
Brendan was displeased. “Would I not believe you if you behaved yourself normally and stopped lying
constantly?”
Deirdre was rendered speechless by his query. She wanted to walk away from him, yet he clutched her
lower jaw by force to stop her from moving.
“Come with me to the hospital to get yourself checked later.”
“It’s fine.” Deirdre struggled.
Brendan stared at her. “Why not?”
“Because it’s unnecessary.” Deirdre held her breath for a while before exhaling. “I’ll just take some
medicine and I’ll be good. Save your concern for those who need it. Save it for Charlene.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBrendan could not help narrowing his eyes. “So you’re saying that you don’t need my concern?”
Deirdre did not answer, but Bliss came running over and bit Brendan’s trouser leg as if it was protecting
its owner.
He furrowed his eyebrows and backed away in disgust. He then ordered her, “Train your dog properly.
If it bit Charlene… I believe that you should be aware of the consequences.”
Brendan left swiftly after slamming the door. He had some affairs to attend to, but he
also left because of the dog.
Deirdre slid from the wall to the floor. Bliss moved closer to her, wagging its tail. Deirdre cupped her
hands over the frantically wagging tail, feeling exhausted.
“Tell me,
how can you not worry about anything? It’s because you’re a puppy. That is why you don’t need to care
about the feelings of the others around you. You don’t care about other people’s disgust, right?”
“If I live a carefree life like you, will it hurt less?”
She held Bliss and fell asleep on the rug. As the night passed, her throat hurt even more. She opened
her eyes but she could not tell if it was night or day, so she could only cover herself with a coat and
head downstairs to get water.
