Chapter 754 I Won’t Keep It
As soon as Deirdre heard Tobey, her pupils constricted with surprise.
“Impossible!” she retorted.
“In this case, why are you so reluctant to let go of his child?”
Deirdre looked heartbroken. She didn’t know whether she should explain herself, but she eventually did. “Tobey, I was pregnant in the past.”
“What?” Tobey was astounded.
While smiling wryly, Deirdre told everything she had experienced in the past few years. Perhaps she was too tired to hide all the grievances to herself and felt rather relieved after she finished speaking.
Meanwhile, Tobey was shivering. He was so furious that his eyes reddened and he punched hard at the railing. “That lunatic! Why doesn’t he die!?”
Moving her messy hair aside, she said, “I’m sorry for that child. I always feel that I owe him. If I could protect him back then, he wouldn’t leave in that way with despair…”
“Deirdre…” Tobey hugged her. “It is just an embryo, yet to become a fetus.”
“Yes,” said Deirdre, her eyes downcast. “But I’m still scared. Therefore, the presence of this child has made me feel that this is another opportunity that God has given me to redeem myself.”
Before Tobey said anything, Deirdre added calmly, “Don’t worry, Tobey. I understand what you mean. I won’t keep it. I just want to wait until I regain my composure before terminating it. Meanwhile, I also feel I have a chance to get along with it and make up for my failures.”
Caressing her hair, Tobey said, “I don’t want to force you.”
“How could you say that you are forcing me? I know you said it for my sake. You’re right that I should let go of the past since I’ve decided to let go. If I were to keep Brendan’s child, I’d regret it in the future.”
Tobey didn’t say a thing but tightened his hug.
At that moment, there wasn’t any romantic relationship between the two parties but incomparable friendship and kinship in life, just to comfort each other’s souls.
After a while, Deirdre recalled and asked, “Did you tell Madame Russell about me?”
“I haven’t managed to tell her. Once she learns about your situation, she’ll definitely be so worried that she can’t sleep. She’ll also dwell on it, and this is not good for her health,” replied Tobey after a moment of silence.
“Understood.” Feeling guilty, Deirdre apologized, “It’s me who’s been dragging you and Madame Russell into this ordeal. However, is it really good for her to stay there alone? If Brendan finds her, he’ll definitely play some tricks on her.”
“I don’t think so.” Tobey comforted her. “I’ve changed my mom’s phone number and asked her not to return to Village Alnwick. She won’t be found if she doesn’t leave the place she is in now.”
In the next few days, Brendan investigated endlessly. After checking all the surveillance cameras, which could probably detect Tobey and Deirdre when they got out of the car, he finally came to only one possibility.
Tobey and Deirdre should have boarded a ship.
After glancing at Brendan, Sam said softly, “But I checked the ferry schedule that day, and the earliest available ferry would have to be at night. How could Miss McKinnon and that man disappear out of thin air?”
Brendan closed his eyes. The dark circles under his eyes showed he hadn’t gotten any news about Deirdre for a few days already. When he heard Sam’s question, he just sat on the sofa and asked only after a moment,” Are there any other boats?”
“Yes, but… it doesn’t seem to be possible,” replied Sam.
Brendan opened his eyes to look at Sam and urged him to continue.” Those are cargo ships. The rooms on those ships are all small bedrooms where a group of men sleeps on the floor. The space is extremely narrow because the ships are full of cargo, and guests are not allowed to board the ship. Moreover, Miss McKinnon is pregnant, so it is impossible”
