Resent, Reject, Regret by Aqua Summers

'I don’t owe you anything, and you shouldn't come to me either...'

Brendan never thought that a sentence from him like that would deal such a blow to him.

His eyes reddened as he said, "What if I say... What if I say that I didn't know anything about what happened to you in prison?"

"What?" Deirdre frowned blankly, and it took a long time before she could speak. "Brendan, I don’t know why you are asking such a question. But even if you didn't know, you can't change the fact. You were the one who forced me to prison and be the scapegoat. You also failed to protect my mother and made me an orphan in my early 20s."

Deirdre counted his faults and mistakes and said calmly, "So, even if you didn't know about it, you can never be innocent."

’Yes." Brendan felt his heart was about to be torn apart. He smiled and nodded. "I am sorry."

Deirdre didn't say anything else but took a deep breath. "Since you have woken up, and it's late now, I should get going."

"Okay."

Deirdre walked out. The moment she stepped out of the door, Brendan suddenly called her name.

"Deirdre McKinnon!"

Her body stiffened.
