Chapter 272 I’ll Be Back
Maeve’s face turned ghastly pale instantly. “What happened to your hand!”
She hastily called for the doctor and nurse, yet Deirdre was jolted back to reality. She covered her
bloody hand with her other hand and said with a lowered gaze, “It’s… It’s fine. Don’t worry.”
“How could you say that it’s fine? The dressing is soaked and red! Why won’t you take care of
yourself? What are you going to do when I leave today?”
Maeve was panic-stricken and furious. The doctor came and examined Deirdre, only to find that her
wound had opened up again and needed stitches.
The doctor frowned deeply at once. “Mr. Brighthall was very worried that your palm would be scarred
right from the start. You need stitches again now, so that is surely going to leave a scar. Ms. McKinnon,
bear with it and bite something if you can’t stand the pain.”
Deirdre’s mind was somewhat unhinged. She was in so much pain after the stitching procedure that
she was sweating, yet she did not make a sound. Only her eyes were red with tears.
Maeve assumed that Deirdre’s behavior was due to the intense pain. She heaved a sigh after the
doctor left and hugged Deirdre. “There’s no need for you to bear the pain constantly if you’re in too
much pain. You will feel better if you scream or cry out. I’m here for you.”
Deirdre clutched the hem of Maeve’s top tightly abruptly and sobbed loudly. It was very hard for Deirdre
to hold back her cries, as she sounded like she was extremely aggrieved, yet Maeve could not help
feeling pity for her.
“You’re fine, you’re fine. Deirdre is fine.” She caressed Deirdre’s hair. A faint scent emanated from
Maeve’s body, and her voice was kind and merciless. The image of Maeve was almost identical to
Deirdre’s memory of her mother.
Maeve was no longer at a loss, helpless, or behaving like a child. She did not heave a sigh. She only
said consciously, “I’m sorry, Deirdre. I’m sorry for troubling you with my illness.”
Deirdre’s face was wet with tears. She wished badly at this very moment that Ophelia was alive and
standing before her. She wished that everything that had happened earlier had been a dream and that
her mother was still there to support her when she woke up.
“Mother…” Deirdre said shakily, holding Maeve’s waist strenuously.
Maeve could sense that Deirdre was unwilling to part with her, and her eyes stung with tears. She
could only assume that Deirdre was unwilling to part with her birth mother, so she patted Deirdre’s
shoulder.
“Don’t cry, I’ll be back. I’ll be back to see you, Deirdre.”
Deirdre’s eyes were bloodshot abruptly, and she clenched her fist so tightly that her nails dug into her
flesh, trying to suppress the emotions flooding her heart. Then, she answered with a smile, “Hmm!
Keep your word, mother. Come back when your illness is cured and promise to come visit me
frequently. I… will be waiting for you.”
“Sure…”
Deirdre loosened her grip and calmed herself down. She suppressed her final ounce of fear and asked
smilingly, “Have you had
your meal?”
Maeve nodded but realized that Deirdre could not see, so she answered, “I have. I had a sandwich on
my way here.”
“Is that so… What a waste. I was planning on taking you to the sandwich place downstairs to eat
something.”
“It’s fine, I can come with you.”
Deirdre held back tears. Maeve’s voice sounded too familiar to her, and she wanted to immerse herself
in it, even if it was only for a moment longer.
She shut her eyes, her eyelashes trembling. She then said, “It’s fine. We’ll do it next time. I don’t feel
like eating much today anyway.”
“You should eat something, even if you don’t feel like it, given your health condition. You’re so skinny
that you should eat something.”
‘It feels really good.’
Deirdre wanted time to stand still at that moment so badly.
She looked up smilingly. “Yes, I will. The nurse has already sent over lunch. I’ll eat something.”
Deirdre did not feel like eating indeed. She forced herself to eat lunch in Maeve’s presence, though.
Realizing that she did not have much time left, she looked out the window with empty eyes and felt the
wind blowing into the room. “What time is it?”
