Chapter 803 You're Always in His Heart
"He's alright. His wounds just tore a little."
Deirdre felt a pang of guilt. "Sorry, that was me. I didn't know he was hurt when I pushed him." "It's okay. It's got
nothing to do with you at all. Even if you didn't push him, his wounds would have been torn open anyway. He had
been driving all the way here from Central Hospital."
Deirdre froze. That was half an hour's journey! Had he gone mad?
She pushed away the complicated feelings as they arose and asked," What's with his injuries? I thought he's been
spending his time with Charlene. Did something happen halfway through? An ambush?" "Spending time with
Charlene?" Sam was taken aback. "Who told you that? He wasn't spending time with Charlene." "No?" Deirdre's
mind turned blank. Brendan had lied to her about the business trip, but Charlene was not the ulterior motive, after

No. It did not matter where he had been. He had lied to her. Nothing was going to change that.
"So, he was ambushed?"
Sam looked conflicted. "Yes.”
Deirdre exhaled a sigh. "Then you should call a doctor to redress his injuries. Meanwhile, I'll be sleeping on the
couch downstairs tonight."
She turned on her heels, and Sam cried before he could stop himself, "Miss McKinnon, wait!"
Even he himself was surprised at his reaction, but he continued. "He... Mr. Brighthall needs you. Can you please stay
by his side for tonight? You don't have to do much. Just lie next to him when you sleep. Or else, he’ll wake up and
look for you again."
Deirdre cast her eyes down. "And why will he do that?" "Because he wants to see you?" Sam was a little helpless.
"An hour ago, his life was hanging by a thread, and he had an emergency operation performed on him in the early
hours. If it weren't for you, why would rushing home be the first thing he did after waking up from his sedatives?
You can't seriously think it's because he has trouble sleeping unless it's his own bed."
Deirdre could not understand what Brendan's actions meant, nor were Sam's words making any sense.
The man finally said the quiet words aloud, "Miss McKinnon, you're always in his heart."
Deirdre's eye twitched.
Then her face turned biting. "I didn't expect you to help maintain Brendan's lies."
She had always believed Sam to be candid and honest with her, but she was wrong. She should not have trusted
anyone who worked for Brendan. In the end, they all served him. i "Miss McKinnon..." Sam faltered a little. Then, he
continued. 'You can trust me or don't. It doesn't matter because I’m not lying. If Mr. Brightall didn't care for you,
why would he go to so many lengths pretending to be Kyran Reed just so he could be together with you? Do you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmreally think it was because he wanted you to bear him a child?
'You were heavily disfigured at that time, Miss McKinnon. And Mr.
Brighthall had no shortage of beautiful women who would come to him and gladly bear him a kid. So, why did he
take such a heavy toll just to be-" "Enough!" snarled Deirdre. Her face was pale, and her brows furrowed. "I don't
know what new game you people are playing, but I'm not gonna believe a single thing any of you say. Even if I
discount all the pains he has caused me, it still doesn't change the fact that he could not even be honest with me.
There was never any business trip, was there? But he told me that was what this was!"
Sam, frantic, said, "It's because-" "Sam!"
The man on the bed suddenly growled, stopping him. He had just woken up from his blackout, but the pain from his
injuries caused him to scowl.
'You're awake?"
Brendan took a deep breath and turned aside with difficulty. His black eyes reflected the woman's figure. "Leave
us."
Deirdre headed toward the door, and Brendan added, "No. Sam leaves. You stay."
