“The bathroom is in the room. Let me show you where it is.”Glenna led her to the room and got her some clothes. After the door was closed, Deirdre closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths.The things that had happened two hours ago were still playing vividly in her head. She would never forget the things that those people had done, and it would all come back to haunt her as a nightmare when she slept at night.Her stomach churned as she turned on the shower with trembling fingers. She took off her clothes, and her shoulders were filled with wounds because she had struggled to get free just now. She walked under the shower and began washing her body. She kept rubbing her body and did not stop until her skin had turned red. Then, she put on the clothes that Glenna had given her.When she came out of the bathroom, Glenna was talking to someone on the phone. She looked at Deirdre as soon as she came out of the bathroom and exclaimed, “Oh my gosh, Deirdre, these pajamas look so go

Ophelia was dead. There was no way Brendan would lie to her about this matter. But if it was not Ophelia, why would Brendan keep a photo of a woman who looked like her?Deirdre’s heart began to pump faster and faster as an idea began slowly taking shape in her head. “Glenna, can you tell me more about the photo? Can you tell where she is and who she's with?” Deirdre asked.Glenna looked at the photo closely for a while, but she could barely see anything because the photo was blurry. “This photo is weird. It seems to me that she’s in a room or something. She’s sitting on a bed, and there’s no one else in the photo.”“What about her hair? And what is she wearing? Does she have long hair or short hair?” Glenna was startled by Deirdre’s string of questions. She tried to calm her down by saying, “Calm down, Deirdre. I’ll tell you slowly.”“I’m sorry…” Deirdre pressed down her surging emotions and closed her eyes. If Ophelia was still alive, then she could not leave the country any

“That’s simple. My friend knows how to copy a photo. I’ll get in contact with him now.”“I’m sorry, Glenna,” Deirdre said apologetically. “You've helped me so much, yet I still need you to help me do something at this late hour.”Glenna smiled and said, “You don’t have to apologize to me. You’ve helped me a lot, right? Besides, we’re friends, and as friends, we should be helping each other.” Deirdre, who was touched by Glenna’s words, nodded.She did not sleep well throughout the entire night. However, she still woke up very early the next day.She had not forgotten her promise to Brendan. Brendan was rather impatient as well, as he called her and asked where she was as soon as the clock struck eight.Deirdre told him the address of the neighborhood. Glenna had already gone to work, so she walked to the entrance of the neighborhood alone. As soon as she went out, she captured the figure of a man through her blurred vision.“Where is my suit?” he asked, getting down to business

Tobey knew that she could not see with her eyes, so he described the photo to her. “Mrs. McKinnon looks very healthy in this photo. She’s smiling brightly at the camera.”Deirdre remembered that Ophelia had been very nervous at the time. She had been worried that she would not look good in the photo, so she had taken her best outfit—a flower dress—out and put it on. Unfortunately, she was too skinny, so the dress had not suited her well.She had taken a rope and tied it around her waist, and Deirdre had felt like crying upon seeing what she had done. She had leaned on her mother’s shoulder and said, “Mom, when I make a lot of money, I’ll buy many beautiful dresses for you. We will stay in a big house, and you won't have to push a cart down a muddy road anymore when you go to the market.”However, little had she expected that she would be the one to cause her mother’s death.Deirdre’s eyes turned red around the rims, and she smiled. “I remember you saying that the flowery dress look

“Kyran…” Tears streamed down from Deirdre's eyes. She lowered her head, and her voice sounded choked when she said, “How could you think like that?”He should feel more secure than anyone.“No matter what happens, I won’t leave you. I love you, and unless you don’t love me anymore, I’ll always be by your side. I promise you,” Deirdre said with a smile, her eyes filled with tears. “You’re better than me, and it’s my honor to be with you. I don’t understand why you would feel so insecure. You shouldn’t feel this way…“Tobey has only treated me like his younger sister since we were kids. We're like brother and sister. The fact that I didn’t choose to be with him in the past means that I’ll never be with him in the future either.”Kyran cupped her face between his hands and asked, “Really?”Deirdre nodded sternly. Kyran lowered his head and kissed her. Deirdre felt embarrassed as she said, “Is my face salty? It’s filled with tears.”“It’s sweet,” Kyran whispered into her ear. “It’s b
