Resent, Reject, Regret novel Chapter 305

’First there was Sterling, then Sam, and now there is this Tobey Russell. She has no lack of people who fancy her, so she left without hesitation.’

“Mr. Brighthall…” The man at the door was feeling slightly uneasy. When he saw the blood in the intravenous line, he hastily said, “I’m calling the doctor.”

“Don’t.” Brendan opened his eyes—they were bloodshot beyond his control. He pulled out his intravenous infusion without any concern for the blood dripping down the back of his hand. “Get me the bus ticket. I’m going to Village Alnwick now. Do it at once, now!”

The man said rapidly, “Mr. Brighthall! You still can’t—”

He shut his mouth in fear after he met Brendan’s sharp gaze, yet he could not refrain from saying, “Moreover, now is not the best time. We’ve just found Ms. McKinnon and can’t fully confirm if she will stay there. If you show up now, your presence will only hurt her.”

“Could it be that you still want her to run away again, Mr. Brighthall? Just recuperate until your body is well. When Ms. McKinnon has calmed down, you can go over in person and pick her up. Isn’t that a good plan?”

Brendan could not vent his anger because the man was right about everything he said. Brendan could not meet Deirdre now because he would want to imprison her immediately if he were to see her. He wanted to shut her away so no one else could see or touch her.

She was his!

Yet, he had a hard time accepting the fact that Deirdre loathed him.

It had always been that way.

She loathed him so much that she would choose to strike a deal with Madam Brighthall, conceal her identity, and flee to Village Alnwick.

The man continued to say boldly, “Moreover, our people discovered that Eastgene’s company is looking into developing the village, so Ms. McKinnon might stay there for a long time for the development. You can go and see her any time you want once you’re healed.”

Brendan fell silent upon hearing the remark.

Madame Russell entered the house just in time to witness the scene and smiled widely.

“Stop flirting around, both of you! The developer’s staff member came earlier and gave me two tickets to a musical. It’s going to be held in the church. Take it and go watch it.”

“Tickets to a musical?” Deirdre took the tickets and was confused. “How is there a musical in the village?”

“Do you still remember the man who came to see me previously? They organized it and commissioned the cast to perform there for the villagers. They do it so that no one will oppose them purchasing the land and so that the villagers would abide by their arrangements.”

Deirdre came to understand the situation. She held the two tickets and said, “Why don’t you and Tobey go, Madame Russell? I’m blind, so I can’t see anyway.”

“What’s the point of an old person like me going there?” Madame Russell said, “Don’t worry about me. I have a ticket too, but I’m not interested in this. You young people should go. I’ll be waiting for you to come back for dinner.”
