Charlene, Released Without
Charge Deirdre listened to Kyran panting under his breath and laced her fingers with his to comfort
him.
Casting her eyes to the floor, she asked, "Mr.King, do you know why he drank that much?"
Declan stiffened for a second and flashed her a smile.
"I could answer you on other days, but this time, believe me...I have not the slightest clue.Maybe it was
work.Maybe he had a bad day.I actually thought you would know better since you're his significant
other."Deirdre was hard-pressed for a reply because he was right.She was Kyran’s closest partner—
she should have been his confidante.
Yet, Kyran seemed to be hiding things from her.
Even if she knew it was for her good or for her sake, it pained her to remember just how much Kyran
stomached on his own.
And now, after shouldering the burden alone for so long, this happened.
Deirdre exhaled a long sigh and turned to Declan.
"It’s getting late, Mr.King.You should take some rest.I’ll take care of him."
He was already nearing fatigue—she could hear it leaking into his voice even as he joked.
Declan rubbed against his temple.
"Well, then.I’m not going to pass up that offer, that’s for sure.I’ll still be around, though.Just holler if
you’re tired and need to rest for a bit."
"Will do."
He walked out of the room as Deirdre released her grip.She drew a basin of hot water in the bathroom
and requested a clean towel from Fionn.
After that, she dipped the towel into the bath and began cleaning Kyran’s arms and neck.
She was meticulous and gingerly, her movement featherlight.
She was careful not to wake Kyran up, but he still seemed rather agitated.
Then, in a state of groggy delirium, he suddenly locked his fingers with Deirdre’s.
"Dee..."
Deirdre leaned close to him as soon as she heard him.
"I’m here.Kyran."
"Deel “ He seemed oblivious to her answer and doggedly repeated her name, cluing the young woman
that he had not woken up yet.
He was just sleeptalking through what was likely an unpleasant dream.
Nonetheless, Deirdre chose to answer him.
"I’m here."
"Dee...I'm so sorry."
When Deirdre was up, she realized it was morning already.
Opening her eyes, she realized she was already lying on the bed and changed into comfortable
sleepwear.
"Kyran? Are you there?" she asked.
No one answered.
She could not help but feel dismayed at the silence.
Still, she steeled herself and climbed out of bed.
She opened the door and met Kyran face-to-face, who threw his arms around her before pulling her
tightly into his chest.
"You're up already? If you’re still tired, you should go back to bed!"
"Kyran!" she cried out instead, tightening her arms around him and gripping a fistful of his shirt with all
her might.
The young man in question gingerly ran his fingers through her hair.
"I’m sorry for worrying you," he replied, his voice raspy.
She shook her head and allowed herself to calm down.
"Are you having a hangover? You must feel like cr*p even more than I do!"
Kyran chuckled.
"That’s a twist.I thought you’d ask me what happened first thing in the morning."
"I know you’ve got your reasons, so I'll wait," Deirdre replied after a brief moment of silence.
"Because I know you’ll tell me when you’re ready."
Shock flitted through Kyran’s eyes—her unreserved faith in him was completely unexpected.
Fingers trembling, he pulled her back into his arms and breathed hard.
"I'll tell you.I’ll tell you everything, all of it, when things...When things are finally settled down.I promise."
Deirdre had assumed she would have found out about things from Kyran, but it turned out she had
forgotten about other means to know.
The world-flipping news broke to her after all.
"What the h*ll did you just say!?"
"Miss McKinnon, please calm down.We can’t continue this conversation like this, ma’am."
Deirdre's eyes were trembling.
The police were telling her to calm down but...
How was she supposed to calm down!? Especially when Charlene was released without charge one
day before her trial!
