Chapter 584 What Happened to Your Face?

Deirdre was stunned.

Declan replied calmly, "This is my first time seeing her."

"If this is your first time seeing her, then why are you so protective of her like she’s your wife? Could it be that you're in love with her?"

Laura's face paled as soon as she heard what Cillian said. She clenched her fists tightly and looked at Declan fixedly.

Declan was not going to hide it and said, "Well, it's true that Miss McKinnon is my type, but I'm more disgusted with a jerk like Mr. Lane who takes advantage of his drunkenness to force other people to accept him."

The corner of Gillian’s lips quivered.

Deirdre did not know why, but she sensed that things were getting a little bit heated over here.

While all of them looked at each other in silence, Ronan came over to send the apology letter, and then he was taken away by Fionn.

Meanwhile, Laura said, “Cillian, Decky, you guys should go out first. Miss McKinnon is injured. I need to help her to tend to the wound.”

After Declan and Cillian left, Laura pulled the concealer out of her purse and applied it gently on Deirdre's face.

Deirdre was in a lot of pain after getting slapped by Ronan. When Laura was applying the concealer on her wound, she hissed out in pain.

"Does it hurt? I'm sorry. I'll be more gentle, then,” Laura said worriedly.

"It's okay." Deirdre said, assuring Laura that she was fine, "He didn't get what he wanted anyway.”

Laura was stunned for a moment, and then she laughed, “This is the first time I see Decky behave so aggressively. After all, he has been very calm and collected. He wouldn't even raise his voice at other people, let alone beat someone up. But when I saw the wound on Mr. Lane’ face, I felt like I didn’t know him anymore..."

The more she said, the lower her voice became. In the end, she fell into a trance. Looking at her, Deirdre asked, "Ms. Smith, did you recall something?”

Laura snapped herself out of her trance and chuckled. Deirdre did not know why but she felt her smile look tired. "Nothing..."

Since she did not want to talk about it, Deirdre did not press on any further. However, she agreed with Laura.

Not only did she feel Declan had become another person, but she was also shocked by his reaction.

Just like Laura had said, Declan had been a calm and collected person. She did not expect him to fly into a rage, and he looked like a different person.

"What do you think of Decky, Miss McKinnon?" Laura asked after a long while of silence.

"He’s helped me a lot. He’s a nice guy,” replied Deirdre.

Laura smiled. "He’s really a nice person. He’s gentle and isn’t ambitious. But it's something good for someone like him who's been abandoned by his family. I truly hope that he can live a happy life..."

Her eyes slowly became red as she talked. After that, she retracted her arm and said, "It's done, Miss McKinnon.”

“Thank you," replied Deirdre. When they went out, the people surrounding the washroom were gone. As for the main proprietor, Joan, he was nowhere to be seen either.

Deirdre ran her fingers over the spot where she was hit. It was slightly swollen, but no one could notice it with the naked eye. She let out a sigh of relief inwardly and headed to the main hall.

When she was on her way to the main hall, Brendan came toward her and asked in a displeased voice, "Where have you been?"

He was caught up by someone earlier, so he could not take care of Deirdre for a moment.

Deirdre replied, "I just went to the washroom.”

“You went to the washroom?" Brendan frowned. "You were in the washroom for almost half a year. Are you not feeling well?”

"Yeah... I had a stomachache.”

Brendan glanced across her face, and his gaze turned cold. "What happened to your face?"

Before Deirdre knew anything, he grabbed Deirdre’s chin and observed her left cheek.

Deirdre became nervous. “What's the matter?”

No one would be able to see the wound on her face if they did not touch it, so how did Brendan notice it?
