Chapter 649 I'm Here For Our Divorce

Unlike Brendan, Deirdre had a heart. She had a soul, too, and none of them were black. It would have been stranger if she had no emotional responses after hearing the truth.

‘Tomorrow.” She heaved a long, heavy sigh. “Please accompany me."

“No problem!" Glenna threw her arms around Deirdre’s and replied gregariously. "You get a good night’s sleep. I'll drive tomorrow!"

“Okay.”

What Deirdre did not expect was that Brendan would call her first the next morning before she was even on her way to the hospital.

"It’s just me."

She was stunned for a few seconds. "I... know."

The weakness in his voice was unmissable. He coughed and choked.” Please drop by the hospital. I’ll be heading back to Neve soon."

"Oh."

There was a pause. Then, he said, "Come with me. We're getting... divorced ”

The call ended.

Deirdre sat on her bed, her mind blank. She thought this was the thing she wanted so much. Even the mere mention was enough to keep her feet dancing. She was the one who had proposed it, too.

"Dee! Dee!" Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Glenna burst into her room. She swiped away the dewdrops on her coat, her eyes blinking, and cried, "Earth to Deirdre! I've been calling for you from outside for a while now! You gave no responses that I really thought you went back to sleep."

"No." Deirdre wiped her face and rose from her bed. "Let's go.”

"Yay!" Glenna chirped excitedly. “Il heard that Brendan’s up. You might be able to talk to him when you see him in the ward."

Deirdre’s lips twitched, and the two descended the stairs.

It took only half an hour to reach the hospital. As soon as they arrived, Glenna stopped a nurse and asked, "Hey, we're Mr.

Brendan Brighthall's friends? Where is his room?"

The nurse did not raise her head from her work. "1208." Then, scanning Deirdre’s face, she looked a little surprised. "Huh? It's you.”

"What’s wrong?" Glenna questioned as Deirdre looked at the nurse.

The nurse frowned in her thoughts until she finally asked, "Are you... McKinnon or something like that?”

“Yes, that’s me.” Deirdre nodded.

"Deirdre McKinnon. What's the matter?°

The nurse smiled. "Nothing. I was just wondering... what took you so long?"

Deirdre stiffened for a few seconds. “Sorry?”

‘The first thing Mr. Brighthall asked after waking up was whether one Deirdre McKinnon had come to see him. I told him I didn't know who that was, so he told me it was a beautiful blind woman. I told him I had never seen someone like that. He looked so dejected in a snap!

“And that made me wonder who this woman he so missed could possibly be!” The nurse pressed her lips into a smile.

"And today, she made an appearance after all! Mr. Brighthall will be so happy to see you, I bet.”

Deirdre’s smile turned mechanical. It felt like her heart had been seared with a burning brand. First, there was a sting, then she felt it scorched.

Glenna studied her expression and waited for the nurse to leave before comforting her.

"Hey, maybe you can tell Brendan you wanted to come yesterday but were under the weather. I'm sure he won't mind."

Deirdre clenched her hands into fists. ‘There's no need for that."

Glenna blinked.

Deirdre looked down and said slowly, "I’m here for our divorce.” Glenna was stunned.

"Divorce? Wait, as in splitting? That serious?”
