Chapter 767 Why Are You Saying Sorry?

They could not stay here anymore. After tonight, perhaps Henry would send someone to punish Tobey, so they had to seize the opportunity to leave quickly when Henry was still alone.

“Hold on.” Tobey pulled his phone out of his pocket and said to Deirdre, ” You should go outside first. I shall come to see you when I’m done packing.”

Deirdre kept quiet for a moment before she turned around and left. At the very moment the door was shut, Henry’s terrified voice was heard coming from the room.

‘Tobey… Tobey… I won’t do it again! Please spare me this time and consider that nothing has happened today. I promise that I won’t tell others … What are you doing!? Tobey Russell!”

Afterward, Tobey got out of the house with his packed clothes. He held Deirdre’s wrist and said, “Let’s go.”

Deirdre walked after him and asked, “Will Henry report us to the police?” “He won’t.”

Tobey spoke through his gritted teeth. “What he did isn’t anything glamorous. In addition, I took some photos of him. If he wants to continue to live honorably in

Surstate, he won’t be reporting to the police. As long as we avoid him and not interact with him, he won’t be doing anything funny.”

Deirdre calmed down. They headed downstairs to hail a cab and checked into a random hotel. The cheapest hotel room cost 45 dollars a night.

Tobey prepared a hot bath for Deirdre while she stood outside by herself for a while to calm herself. She lowered her eyes and said, “I’m sorry, Tobey.”

Tobey’s back turned stiff when he heard the remark. He stood up and asked, “Why are you saying sorry?”

Deirdre smiled bitterly, raised her head, and said, ‘You wouldn’t be reduced to your current state if not because of me. Henry wouldn’t have harassed me and provoked your anger until you beat him up if not because of me.

You were supposed to have a very stable career, and it’s all my fault.” She despised and hated herself.

Tobey was astonished. He clutched Deirdre’s shoulder and said, “Why do you have to do this to yourself, Deirdre?”

Deirdre was stunned.

Tobey said, “Was it your fault that Brendan forced you to go to prison? Is it your fault that he won’t let you off? Was it your fault that Henry sexually harassed you?

“I am a normal person, capable of distinguishing right and wrong. I know that you feel helpless and are in agony. It’s already arduous enough you’re living like this, so you shouldn’t discriminate against yourself when you’re the victim.”

“I’m the victim?”

Tobey was extremely resolute. ‘Yes.”

Deirdre’s eyes reddened with tears. She loathed and doubted herself way too much, but Tobey was always willing to help her out of her self-loathing without any hesitation.

‘Thank you…” Deirdre said softly and wiped her tears with her sleeve.” Thank you.”

The stress of living in the west zone increased in an obvious manner. Deirdre began to consider making a steady income for their daily expenses after Tobey found a job. She could work as a waitress if she were a normal person. She could work in the kitchen of a restaurant too. Yet, there were very few job opportunities for visually impaired people.

It was fortunate that there was a recruitment agency downstairs. When she inquired about a job opening, the manager humored her until Deirdre told the manager that she was skilled in playing the piano. Only then did the person assume a decent expression. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Do you have a certificate?” “No.”

The manager pursed her lips. “In other words, you come to seek employment with just your self-taught piano skills? You’re really naive. Who’s going to hire you when you don’t have any accomplishments?”

Deirdre was embarrassed. “I’m very good at playing the piano, and I can teach piano lessons. Moreover, you can pay me less by taking half of my payment as a commission. That will be fine too.”
