“Felipe?” Kendrick could feel the invisible smoke.
Felipe did not go straight in. He saw Niamh sleeping on the bed with rosy cheeks and only a bathrobe on her. His eyes became overcast and stormy in a moment. A cold murderous intention could even be seen from his eyes.
He walked decisively to the bed and carried Niamh who had not yet woken up.
Feeling Felipe pass in front of him while carrying Niamh, Kendrick grabbed Felipe’s arm firmly and asked in a low voice, “What are you doing?”
Felipe squinted his icy eyes at him. “What are you doing?” he questioned back in a cold voice with a dark expression. “Eveline is already my woman. She no longer has anything to do with you, Kendrick. Think about what you did to Eveline before. If it weren’t for me, Eveline would already be a handful of ashes.”
Felipe’s words hit Kendrick’s heart hard.
If Felipe had not saved her, she would have gone to another world…
It was Felipe who gave Niamh the chance to be born again.
Kendrick seemed to suddenly have had all his strength sucked out of him. He released his grip on Felipe.
“Kendrick, remember what you said. Don’t disturb Eveline’s peace anymore.”
Felipe left a final reminder before turning around while carrying Niamh in his arms.
Listening to the furthering footsteps, Kendrick felt as if Niamh was the tide in the ocean that was slowly fading away outside the window. She had become his past that he could no longer reach.
Niamh’s fever had subsided, but her head was still feeling a little heavy.
She woke up from her deep sleep and felt that she was being carried by a man. She thought that it was Kendrick carrying her, but after a closer look, she found that it was Felipe.
“Felipe?” Niamh was surprised.
The coldness in Felipe’s eyes disappeared immediately as he lowered his gaze. He gently met Niamh’s stare.
“Are you awake? Your fever isn’t completely gone, so I’ll take you home first.”
Niamh looked at Felipe in a daze, but she could only remember that she had spent the last night with Kendrick in a hotel.
In the middle of the night, she seemed to have gotten a fever. She had felt someone by her side, taking care of her restlessly. She even saw Kendrick’s face when she was still groggy from sleep, but it was Felipe who was in front of her now.
Felipe brought Niamh back to the villa and had his private doctor check on her.
After Niamh took her medicine, she fell back asleep again.
The moment Felipe closed the door and turned around, his eyes, which had always been gentle like a spring breeze, were suddenly covered with a cold current.
He walked to the study. Felicity had already been waiting for a while.
Seeing Felipe entering, she stood aside cautiously. “I really didn’t notice that Niamh had been following Kendrick and I didn’t expect them to…”
“If you would have thought of it, you wouldn’t have been played in the palm of Eveline’s hand to the point you almost lost your life back then.”
Felipe’s gaze was contemptuous as the cold words were spat out from his lips. “The reason why I allowed you to come back here alive is because you’re still worth using, but if you can’t even carry out the task I give you, I will personally send you to hell.”
Hearing this, horror showed on Felicity’s face as she quickly promised. “I will definitely complete the task! I will gain Kendrick’s trust before his eyesight recovers!”
“Recover?” Felipe chuckled. “He will never be able to recover his eyesight in his life, do you understand what I mean?”
“…” Felicity lowered her head timidly. She really dared not look back at Felipe.
The look in Felipe’s eyes at this moment was even more spine-chilling and terrorizing than Kendrick’s eyes back then.
“Do you still love Kendrick?” Felipe asked.
Felicity did not dare answer, but her silence was actually the best answer.
Felipe chuckled. “What kind of charm does my little nephew have to be able to attract admirers like you who would risk their lives like a moth to flames?”
The moment he finished his sentence, his phone rang.
Felipe picked the call up, said a few words in a foreign language that Felicity could not understand, then prepared to head out.
“Settle Kendrick as soon as possible. Otherwise, I won’t have any use in keeping you alive.” He warned mercilessly.
Felicity nodded her head nervously. It was only when Felipe was gone did she feel less strain on her breathing.
After leaving the study, Felicity secretly sneaked into Niamh’s bedroom.
She opened the door and went in. When she saw Niamh who was still sleeping peacefully on the bed, hatred instantly sparked in her eyes.
Looking at Niamh’s picturesque face, she clenched her teeth and stretched out her palms inch by inch, approaching Niamh’s neck. She was thinking of choking Niamh to death just like that.
Just as she was about to come in contact with Niamh’s skin, she drew her hands back.
“Niamh, if you can change your name and come back to life, so can I.”
Felicity chuckled with a low voice, her eyes growing even gloomier.
“Niamh, I will definitely not allow you and Kendrick the chance to be together again. He belongs to me, and you… Just you wait. One day I’ll prove to you that the final winner will be me!”
She fiercely swore to Niamh who was deep in sleep before secretly leaving the room.
…
After resting for two days, Niamh’s mental state completely recovered.
Recalling what had happened at the hotel that night, she called Kendrick.
No one answered the phone after a long time.
She tried to make another call, but the result remained the same.
While she was thinking of going to Kendrick directly to clarify, Felipe appeared in front of her. His brows were tender as he asked her softly, “Eveline, have you decided when to take Jack and Lily back to F Country with me?”
“Felipe, I don’t have plans to return to F Country for the time being.” Niamh’s answer was simple and neat without any hesitation.
Felipe felt unsatisfied in his heart, but his smile still remained. “Why not?”
Niamh pondered for a moment and replied, “There’s something I still can’t let go of.”
Felipe nodded thoughtfully. “In that case, we’ll go back when you’re done with what you want to do.”
“Thank you, Felipe.”
“Silly, there’s no need for thanks between you and me,” Felipe said with a soft and adoring tone. “I have something to deal with now. Call me if anything happens.”
He had turned around with a smile, but at the back where Niamh could not see, Felipe’s smile could no longer be found on his face.
She said there was something she still could not let go of.
Felipe knew that it was not a thing that she could not let go of, but a person.
This person was Kendrick!
He could no longer tolerate things continuing like this. He could not tolerate Niamh, who had lost the memory of the past, having feelings for Kendrick once again.
Felipe got into the car with a hostile aura before going to Kendrick’s villa.
After Felipe left, Niamh called Kendrick again, but her call was still not answered.
She could not tell whether Kendrick was deliberately not answering her call or if it was just inconvenient for him to answer it now.
After thinking for a bit, Niamh also drove out.
However, when she arrived at the destination, she was surprised to find that Felipe’s car was parked not far away.
“Felipe?” Niamh found that it was a little strange.
Felipe said that he had something to deal with, so why did he come to Kendrick?
She subconsciously parked the car further away before walking over.
As soon as she walked to the gates of the villa, she heard Felipe’s voice from inside. His cold, emotionless voice pierced her ears.
Niamh was dazed for a short moment. She could not believe that it was Felipe’s tone of speech.
“Kendrick, tell me. What did you and Eveline do during the two days on the island?” Felipe questioned.
‘Did Felipe come for this?
‘Is he concerned about the two days Kendrick and I spent on the island?’
As Niamh was wondering this, she raised her eyes and looked into the courtyard.
