Kendrick knew that Niamh would leave for F Country with Jackson today.
Perhaps they would come back later, but he did not know when it would be.
He only knew that she was going further and further away from him.
However, even if she was now standing in front of him, he could not see nor touch her anymore.
Niamh was once again on the flight to F Country. Jackson was sitting beside her while Felipe carried Lily to the washroom.
Before the flight took off, Niamh had received a call from the head who managed the store on Crystal Street, asking her to confirm something.
Niamh turned on her computer to settle some work matters, but when she was about to shut it down, she accidentally clicked on a folder she had never seen before.
She randomly clicked on one of the txt files in the folder. She spaced out after opening it and seeing the contents.
[I never thought that you would leave me like this. You wouldn’t, right? This must be a prank, right? Don’t joke about things like this, Niamh. It’s not funny.
[You said you loved me and that you’d bother me forever. Why is your forever so short? It can’t be. I refuse to believe that it is…
[You must be doing this on purpose, Niamh. You’re doing this so that I would never forget you and so that I would miss you forever. You’re sly, but I won’t fall for it. Niamh…]
It was a diary.
She did not know whose diary it was, but she saw the person’s reluctance and heartache in the text.
After being frozen for a while, she clicked on the next document.
[Niamh, I miss you so much. Didn’t you say I’d regret it? I really regret it. Can you hear me?]
A short and simple sentence contained the repentance of the person who wrote the text.
Niamh’s fingers trembled slightly as she continued reading them one by one.
Then, she saw Kendrick’s name in the document.
[Niamh, this is the 100th day since you left. I never thought that the color of the sky could be so dark, but my world has become like this ever since I lost you.
[I always thought that you were not important to me, but the moment when you fell into my arms on the brink of your death, I wished the one who died would be me, Kendrick, instead.
[Niamh, I really miss you. I miss you so, so much… If I could do this all over again, I would rather we never met as long as you’re well.]
Seeing this, Niamh’s emotions gradually wandered on the verge of losing control.
These words and sentences that contained such affection were actually written by Kendrick.
He actually missed her and liked her this much.
However, his love and yearning for her had obviously expired. He took off the wedding ring which was enough to show that he had moved on.
“Mommy, are we really not waiting for Daddy to go to F Country together?” Jackson’s soft and childish voice was filled with reluctance for Kendrick. He gently pulled at Niamh’s hands. “Mommy, can we wait for Daddy and then go together?”
Niamh controlled her emotions and smiled at Jackson. “Jack, from now on, Lily’s dad is your dad.”
“Why?” Jack’s cute eyebrows frowned. “I want my own dad.”
“Jack…”
“Mommy, is it because Daddy did something wrong and that’s why you’re not bringing him to F Country? Is it because Daddy can no longer see that Mommy doesn’t want him anymore?”
Niamh’s heartbeat stopped a bit upon hearing this. Her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief. “Jack, what did you say? Your dad can no longer see?”
Jackson’s pure, innocent eyes suddenly widened when he was questioned.
His fair, little hands hurriedly covered his mouth as though he had suddenly thought of something.
The little guy’s reaction made Niamh even more suspicious. She reached out and gently peeled away Jackson’s hands. “Jack, what’s the matter? Did you just say that your dad is blind?”
Jackson pursed his cherry-colored lips, hesitating to speak.
On the inside, Niamh became more anxious. “Jack, tell me quickly.”
“No, Granny said not to tell Mommy that Daddy can’t see.”
What?
Niamh’s expression suddenly changed.
She suddenly recalled the weird look on Kendrick’s face the few times she saw him.
She had thought that he did not want to see her again but it turned out that he could not see her!
That was why he was just facing her, unable to capture her face at all.
Niamh’s heart stung for some reason. She quickly got up and walked out of the cabin in quick steps.
Felipe came back while carrying Lily. Seeing Niamh hurrying back while holding Jackson’s hand, he called out to Niamh, puzzled, “Eveline, where are you going?”
Niamh looked back, her face full of anxiety. “Kendrick is blind. Did you know about this?”
Felipe was slightly stunned upon hearing this, then he showed a surprised expression. “Kendrick is blind? How could it be?”
“If he’s alright, then I’ll come back immediately.”
Without giving Felipe a chance to stop her, Niamh walked away while holding Jackson. She did not look back.
If he was alright, then she would come back.
That meant she would not be coming back.
Kendrick was indeed blind.
Felipe stood fixed in his spot while carrying Lily. Seeing Niamh leaving in a hurry, darkness surged in his eyes.
‘Eveline, why do you still care so much about him even after you’ve lost your memories?
‘Even when you know this man has once hurt you so much.’
Niamh and Jackson took a taxi to the villa, but after she got out of the car, she stopped in her steps again.
Why should she care so much that he was blind?
Furthermore, he already had a girlfriend by his side, so why should she care?
“Mommy, what’s wrong?” Jackson could not understand Niamh’s behavior.
Niamh looked down and smiled at him. “Jack, let’s go back.”
“Go back?” Jackson blinked his eyes. “Aren’t we here to bring Daddy with us?”
“No.” Niamh shook her head slightly, her gaze slowly darkening.
A sudden autumn wind swept over her strongly, blowing into her heart so roughly and so coldly.
Niamh held Jackson and turned around. At this moment, a black car passed by her.
She vaguely felt that the car was familiar. Niamh looked sideways and saw that the car had stopped at the entrance of the villa. A man in a black suit then got out of the car.
At the same time, Niamh saw Kendrick’s figure slowly appearing at the villa’s entrance.
Niamh spun around and watched Kendrick’s side profile quietly.
Kendrick was talking to the man in the suit. His expression was impassive and even cold. The corners of eyes and brows were dyed with a hint of coolness.
She could not hear what Kendrick was saying to that man, but she clearly saw the mocking smile on the man’s face. The man then raised his hand toward Kendrick.
He was holding a ring in his hand.
Niamh looked at the ring fixedly, her thoughts wandering far away.
”Kendrick Waldburg, the ring will be returned to you now, but you must remember to never show up in front of Miss Eveline again, or else you’ll bear the consequences.” The man in the suit warned.
Kendrick sneered lightly, “Your master dares not confront me head-on, so who are you to teach me how to do things?”
“You…” The man conceded and glared at Kendrick with an ugly expression.
“Give me the ring.” Kendrick’s tone was cold and pressing.
Seeing him reach out, the man suddenly smirked. “I’ll return the ring to you now. Mr. Waldburg, catch.”
Hearing this man’s tone, it was obviously malicious.
