Chapter 1016 Miss Collins Is the Attending Doctor

Moreover, Brendan had actually used the word ‘lover’ to introduce Deirdre. Emily felt extremely unpleasant in her heart. ‘Who the heck do you think you are, Deirdre? ‘You’re just a pretty face. If you were just a little uglier, Brendan would be so disgusted that he wouldn’t even be bothered to take a second glance at you for sure!’ “Ah, it’s Miss Collins.” Deirdre was aware of Emily’s visit, so she was not surprised. She stretched out her hand in a courteous manner. “Hello, I’m Deirdre McKinnon.” Emily was jolted back to reality. She shook Deirdre’s hand and complimented her. “I heard of your name long ago and heard that your beauty is so breathtaking. You’ve enticed Mr. Brighthall so much that he can’t be bothered to check out other women. Now that I get to meet you in person, I find that to be true. I figured that everyone would only want to look at your face if you were to show up in public.” She smiled sweetly. Deirdre was stunned for a while. For some unknown reason, Emily was obviously making a compliment, but it sounded ineffably strange to Deirdre. Emily made it sound that all she had was a pretty face to seduce others… Deirdre was not fond of judging people during the first meeting. Moreover, there was no fault to pick with Emily’s remark, so Deirdre dismissed her thoughts and smiled back. “You’re too courteous, Miss Collins. When it comes to beauty, someone who just returned to the country and stabilized Collins Pharmaceuticals at the fastest speed like you is even more superior.” Emily smirked when she realized that she was involved. “You know quite a fair bit, Miss McKinnon. It seems that Mr. Brighthall tells you plenty about me frequently.” Deirdre was stunned while Brendan said, “I’m not fond of talking about other people with Deirdre, so I believe that she learned about this by herself.” ‘Other people.’ Emily clenched her fists tightly, and her body tensed up as well. The anger that built up inside her could not be vented. ‘So Deirdre is still Deirdre while I’m just other people? ‘Forget it. I can’t compare to Deirdre, who is pregnant anyway. ‘Moreover, I’m not attracted to a man like Brendan who would cozy up to me after being acquainted for a few days.’ “I see.” Emily felt awkward and took it upon herself to change the topic of conversation. “If you don’t mind, will you come with me to the hospital, Miss McKinnon? I need to gather some information so I can prescribe the correct treatment for your eyes.” Deirdre was caught by surprise upon hearing that and turned her head. Brendan immediately explained, “The doctor who was supposed to treat your eyes earlier can’t be here in time, so Miss Collins is here to help. She and that doctor are colleagues at the same research center, and they’re both equally capable. So, she is capable of prescribing the correct treatment for your eyes too.” “I see…” Deirdre nodded but had an ineffably strange feeling in her chest. However, she would appear to be excluding Emily if she were to show it. Emily was also kind-hearted, and she would have nothing to worry about if Emily could cure her eyes. “Thank you for taking the trouble to do this, Miss Collins.” “It’s no trouble. Mr. Brighthall and I have a deal, so I’m only doing my job,” Emily said with smiles in her voice in a vaguely flirtatious manner. Before Deirdre could react to the situation, Emily said, “We’ll go in my car, Miss McKinnon. Please let me help you to the car.” Brendan moved as well. “I’ll join both of you.” “It’s fine.” Emily declined. “It would be fine with just the both of us. Moreover, we have many mutual topics to discuss on the way there as women. It would be hard for us to talk with you there, Mr. Brighthall.” She then said jokingly, “Or, are you worried that I will do something to Miss McKinnon, Mr. Brighthall?” Brendan could not comment further, so Deirdre said, “Aren’t you rather busy with work? Go and be busy with work. I’ll just go with Miss Collins.”
