Chapter 756 Are You Injured?

There was no need to sign a contract, and the house had two rooms and one living room, making it very convenient to live in.

After settling down, Tobey took Deirdre to a clinic to check on her pregnancy.

After the consultation and tests, the doctor said there were signs of miscarriage. The embryo would have been lost if it weren’t for good luck.

Deirdre was reminded of the day they were on the run-she had been bleeding and almost had had a miscarriage.

Fortunately, she had managed to pull it through. Otherwise, she might not have been able to survive the miscarriage on the ship.

Following that, the doctor prescribed some medicine for Deirdre. The total cost for the consultation fee and medicine was about 300 dollars.

When they had to pay, Deirdre couldn’t help but feel pain.

“Tobey, what about we don’t take the medicine…” Deirdre’s face turned pale because she knew it was the time when they needed money the most. ‘The child… will be aborted sooner or later. Hence, it’s a pity to waste money on medicine.” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Tobey paid the bill without saying a word. Then, he said, “I’m not doing it for Brendan’s child but for you. Currently, you and the child are connected to each other. Hence, you’ll also have to suffer if anything happens to it.”

However, Tobey didn’t have much money left after paying the bill.

They couldn’t withdraw any money from the bank because doing so would immediately expose their whereabouts to Brendan.

Tobey got a job and informed Deirdre when he returned in the evening.

Upon hearing it, Deirdre couldn’t help but be surprised. “What type of job is it?”

“Although it’s not a proper job, the pay is not bad. Hence, it’s enough for us to buy food.”

Although Tobey didn’t answer directly, Deirdre knew they couldn’t survive without spending a single cent. Thus, her face turned pale.

“Is it tiring?”

While smiling, Tobey stood up to wash dishes. “I’m not sure about that. After all, I must go to work to know whether it is tiring.”

Deirdre rushed to take the bowls first. “In this case, you should go to rest first. I’ll take care of the dishes so that you can rest well. Don’t make it look like I’m too useless.”

Tobey didn’t refuse. He only said, “Don’t use cold water but hot water.” “Sure.”

Tobey yawned and went into the room to rest first. Thanks to his constant care these days, Deirdre’s health had improved a lot. Although the living condition was worse than before, it gradually improved.

Listening to the cicadas singing outside, Deirdre thought while in a daze that her life might go on like this forever.

The next day, Tobey went out very early in the morning. Because Deirdre no longer had her cell phone, she could only judge from the light that it was still dark. After a long time she had been doing housework at home, Tobey came back late in the evening. He was carrying something.

When Deirdre heard the noise of the bag, she instantly asked, “What did you bring back?” ‘You heard it? I bought some fruits downstairs so that you can have some when you are free,” replied Tobey, amused.

“Really?” Deirdre reached out to take the bag. “I’ll wash one for you.”

The moment she grabbed Tobey’s fingertips, Tobey gasped and unconsciously withdrew his hand.

Deirdre was startled and looked up at Tobey.

“I accidentally knocked on it while walking. Isn’t it a coincidence that you grabbed it with your hand?” explained Tobey.

Deirdre wasn’t convinced. With her eyes open, she asked,” What job did you do?”

Tobey stretched his shoulders and patted her. “I went to the construction site. I applied for other positions at first, but because I’m new there, I was asked to be a porter for a while to prove that I’m capable of enduring the hardship.”

A while?

Deirdre was not convinced. She thought it should be longer.

Perhaps Tobey had moved things from the morning to late evening.

She couldn’t bear it, and her eyes turned red. Tobey smiled while caressing her hair.
